My Visit to the National Museum

A couple of days ago, my class went on a field trip to the National Museum of Singapore. It was my first visit to the museum. At first, i thought that museums would be boring, from what i've heard. But when i entered the museum, it was quite empty and chilly. When we went to take a look inside the History place, it was actually quite interesting. The dark paths actually sometimes scared me. lol.
For Singapore, it is important to have a museum because it will atract more tourists to come to Singapore. We want to show the world that we are a strong country, so we build a museum to show our short but yet fasinating history.
For me, i enjoyed the trip because we got to go see cool stuff from old times in Singapore, and the part that intrested me the most was the little companion a.k.a 'Tour Guide'. It was like very expensive and was very high-tech because u could just punch in the numbers and they give u the full details about it. Cool!
One of the most memoriable thing i have learnt is that Lee Kuan Yew was very cool when he was younger and gave Singapore a booster. When i say booster, i mean a helping hand. Singapore is so cool and 'm proud to be a Singaporean! xD
