After that I proceeded to the Ancient Civilisation Museum(ACM) thinking it was the art house. They have similar architecture. I went to see the Retrospective Architecture Year 1 Year End Project Exhibition for NUS. After that, I walked around and read up on Calligraphy especially how calligraphy is used.
Identity is forged and can be used as part of calligraphy to show which a group of people belong to.
Exploration is important in Calligraphy especially in delivering the strokes well and in different words of how they are written
After that, I headed to see the Singapore River Gallery.
Pearly Shells by the Ocean. It reminds me of Silvery Moon sang during campfire.

Trade aided Singapore in its development. Those who were traders, coolies or merchants had to experience hardships when living in Singapore during the past. Poor Living conditions caused by crowding, secret societies, opium addiction and long hours of labour were problems faced such groups of people experienced.

Opium blowpipe and coins used. It shows how man have innovated and design such devices
