The Singapore Science Centre

If you are one who loves Mother Nature, science and technology, then this place is a must-see attraction. The Singapore Science Centre.

The moment you step into the centre, you will find a very intriguing exhibit. Can you find the 6 men in this exhibit?


Walking further in, I entered a place called The Mind’s Eye. I saw many different illusions that my mind will see in a different way, thus the given name. These illusions will definitely blow your mind away. I hope you will fell the same way too once you see this- it's exciting !


If you take a few more steps to the centre, you will discover larger exhibits which involve the usage of electricity and water. You will definitely learn more about science and technology.

Venture deeper into the centre and you can find a corner filled with different kind of small animals. Some of them are exotic creatures which cannot be found easily in the wild, whereas some of them are hamsters and chicks. In addition, go outdoors to the eco garden to allow yourself to breathe in some fresh air. The eco garden houses different types of flora and fauna which will be sure to interest you.

I am sure that you guys had fun in our Science Centre and would like to purchase a souvenir home to commemorate this memorable trip. We assure you that there is a shop located within the centre selling a wide variety of interesting science products for you to bring home. Moreover, the price range is definitely affordable for everyone that loves it.



In addition, there is a fast food restaurant located just outside the centre. So, if you feel tired from all the walking, just take a seat and have some food while you recharge yourself as you prepare for your next journey. If you think that this is all the centre has to offer, then you are wrong! Housing more than 850 exhibits, you would need 7 days to see them all even by spending a mere 5 minutes on each exhibits. However, do not worry that there will be no chance for a future visit as the admission fees are really affordable.

A short visit to the Science Centre has definitely widen my horizon. The things which i expected to be easy and simple was actually very complicated and vice versa ! Do you want to have an enriching learning experience? Come join us at the Singapore Science Centre !

Asian Civilisations Museum

Are you interested in cultures of the different races in Singapore? If you are, you have come to the right place! This Asian Civilisations Museum contains exhibitions and showcases the ancient cultures which our forefathers brought into Singapore. This new discovery has made me even more enthusiastic to learn about how my forefathers lived in Singapore.

This showcase educates the public on the Bukit Larangan which is malay for "Forbbiden Hill". This "Forbidden Hill" is actually the Fort Canning Park! It was known as Bukit Larangan before Sir Stamford Raffles arrived and he was told of how local settlers were wary of ascending the hill as they believed it was the site of palaces built by their ancestral kings.

So as you can see from the above few pictures, this museum informs the public on the different kinds of artifacts that our forefathers used and also how Singapore's decline started. As Singapore was a great port for trading and it was bringing the most growth economically to the country, making it one of the busiest port in the world. Due to the tough competition, it is neccessary for Singapore to have a well-facilitated port. For example, a new port was set up at one of our neighbouring country, Malaysia.
As you all know, this is one of the Gods of the Buddhist religion. This shows that the Asian Civilisations Museum raise the public awareness about the cultures of different religions, not just cultures of different races.From what i have discovered in the museum, there were many different cultures brought in from many different countries like China, India.

My experience through this museum is definitely an unforgettable one. I felt as though that i was travelling back in time! Moreover, this museum has provided me with countless knowledge which is fulfilling. If there was an opportunity to allow me to travel back in time, i would definitely grab it.
