::::: Chinese Heritage Centre Tour :::::

Friday was a day where Daune, Yu Jie and Yi Wei went to meet our HC260 professor regarding their presentation topic on Singapore Education policy. After consultation to their professor, the trio decided to make a visit to the Chinese Heritage Centre to source for ideas. However, the centre was partially under renovation so the trio had no choice but to retreat, but just as they were to make their way back, they met the centre's manager Cecilia. After explanation their intention, Cecilia was more than willing to provide the assistance to the three. She brought the three to another exhibition that was closed to the public due to renovation. It was an old textbook exhibition for Singapore. Upon arrival at the room, Daune was thrilled, as they were the privileged to be one of the close door viewers. Furthermore they could see many of the things that their fathers used to have.

An Health Education poster.

Referring to the Health Education poster, take special note of the wording; it says "I don't use my hands to dig my nose". Well when Yi Wei saw this poster, she made a very sacrcastic comment which many of us laughed. She mentioned that what other methods could be made to dig the nose apart from using hands. Well, no one knows.

In general, this activity was fun, good and wonderful. ;-)
