Educational Tour - IRAS Gallery

I hope no hate mails are send to me for writing this post. Just kidding. National Day is round the corner and it is again time to take stock what we have achieved so far. Rome was not built in a day and I am sure she was built using cash (or equivalents).

As tax like death is unavoidable, the IRAS gallery seeks to enlighten tax payer the historical development, the methods of collecting tax, the penalties of tax evasion and the purpose of tax collection.

I shall not elaborate further as the gallery is quite small and I am going for a long overdue holiday to Taiwan. See you guys!

Garden and Educational Tour - Tampines Changkat Butterfly Garden

I apologized for the slower post last few weeks. June holiday is always a busy period for me and I have fallen very sick. To get a fresh breathe of life, nothing is more enchanting than having beautiful butterflies fluttering around you in all their different colors (I heard that Singapore MOE is switching to US English).


Tampines  Changkat Butterfly Garden is maintained with the support of the government by a group of 100+ volunteers, of which about 10 are active.


During my visit to the Tampines Changkat Butterfly Garden, the enthusiasts are very kind in explaining to us and more importantly show us the life cycle of the butterflies.


 I was shown the egg laying process, the caterpillar stage (The caterpillar does not bite, so you can safely hold it in your hand) and the cocoon stage. I was told different species of butterflies have different preferences on the species of plant to lay their eggs!


The most magical movement was when I release one of the butterflies grown in one of the enthusiast home into the Garden.

Educational Tour - Reflection at Bukit Chandu

National Day is fast approaching. It is now a good time for one to reflect on how difficult it was to achieve our current peaceful and safe society. It is won by the blood and tears of many unsung heroes and heroines. There is not a better place to think after them then at Bukit Chandu.

Bukit Chandu is one of the most fiercely defended fort in Singapore during War World II. The defense by the Malay regiment was so fierce that when it was finally taken by the Japanese, they murder everyone in the nearby Alexander Hospital due to anger.

In Bukit Chandu, you get to see 3 high tech movies. The first movie is about the movement of the Japanese Soldiers from Johor down towards Bukit Chandu. The second movie is about the battle at Bukit Chandu itself. The last movie allows you to experience the life of a Malay village just before and after a bombing raid.

In additions to the movies, you get to see exhibits on the various weapons and equipment used in the battle of Bukit Chandu.

After the visit to the Museum, you can have a nice tree top walk around the forest surrounding Bukit Chandu towards either NUS or Mt Faber to reflect on the price of peace.
