Asian Civilisations Museum

On this day 20 May 2010, I saw Black Rising Clouds that looked like smoke rising up the sky at the horizon (at my room’s window)… after that, it changed into white… these are the White Dragons…

The Chinese got the twelve Zodiac animals. My family has all the Zodiac animals except the sheep. Whenever, any of the family’s members got pregnant, I would see what ‘animal’ is that going to be. None of them have ‘sheep‘ at all…

I am fascinated about the Chinese Zodiac animals. I asked my mother,”Why are there no cats in the twelve animals?” I also asked my mother,”In this world, got dragons a not?” We saw dragons in TV and in painted form. But what about last time? Did dragons existed before? These are questions which I do not know…

Anyway, on this day, 20 May 2010, after Clara and me had ‘visited’ Dr Goh Keng Swee at the Parliament House, we went to walk around. After visiting the statue of Sir Stamford Raffles, we came to Asian Civilisation Museum. To my surprise, I saw the crow on the tree again, just in front of the museum as shown in the video below.

On this day, there were so many people at the museum. There were free admission into the museum. I would like to go into the museum to take a look. But with the pram and Richard was not around at that time, Clara and I did not go into the museum since we cannot carried the pram up the stairs (the entrance to the Museum consists of stairs and there are no slope or any ramp for wheelchairs or pram).

This is the front view of the Museum with the words “Asian Civilisations Museum”. On the building hang two banners: on the left showed different types of swords and the one on the right written words showing “Treasury of the World“.

On this day, 20 May 2010, the sky was so nice. It was a perfect day…
