WEEK 10 : 28 SEPT ~ 2 OCT

TRIP TO SINGAPORE NATIONAL MUSEUM













These are stage costumes that were used in the 1980s.






These are toys in the 1960s-80s.








These are propaganda posters during world war 2.











I visited the Singapore National Museum. I learnt things i did not know about Singapore. Besides the exhibition about Lee Kuan Yew, the exhibition of the vintage children toys and voices of Singapore; that was a gallery of music, performances, television and theatre. 
The children toys were simple in design and use. Comparing to what kids play with in this generation (electronics), i would say they are missing a lot. Also, this plays a part in their childhood and and i would say it'll be a pretty boring one. Toys back then were cute and relied on imagination, it was fun.
I ended the trip with the last room, where there was a projector screen showing old Singapore drive-thru theatres. As we sat in a car or truck, feeling how it felt to be in a drive through a couple of decades back. It was a nostalgic experience. I wish there was a drive-through in this millennium. 
Maybe i should start a petition for one! ;-)
