The Learning Journey........... was an excursion held by the school to instill some knowledge to students about some inportant things that impacts our lives. It can be about a person's religion or even about their culture. The learning journey that we went to was at the Asian Civilisation Museum. There were many historical statues that were created BEFORE CHRIST and looking at them, I find them amazing as they still looked as new as before. It just shows how important these statues are to the people then or even now. They were known to be imported from an Indian Temple in India after being placed there that cause some of its parts to be broken due to the time when people touch them when they visit the temple. Since it was time consuming, the guide only managed to show us a bit of the chinese statues and some of the Indian gods. Nevertheless, I still think that it was worth while as they were things I will not have the opportunity to look at and after the tour around the museum, I learnt some lessons from the stories told to us by the guide about the gods. It is just unbelievable that even gods make mistakes but the great thing is, they will never die. That was why when the son of one of the god had his head chopped off, it can be replaced by another head, be it a human or animal.
Besides that, we also had a boat ride around the Singapore River and it was actually a great experience as we can have a better view of the buildings along it and furthermore, I managed to get a better glimpse of the Merlion and took a picture of it. With this tour, I am actually even more proud to be a Singaporean as I finally realised that it has its own identity and how it started from a small island to a well-developed country. This learning jpuirney has really changed my point of view of Singapore and only today have I finally understood that Singapore is my true Home.
