Reflections - Mori.

True to the fashion of some people who live in the west, i rarely do venture out of the area. Why would we? When our schools, shopping centres, hangouts, facilities are all concentrated around us.

It is probably the culture of Singaporeans to have a one-track mind when we are visiting the places we want to go. Even though i went on a heritage trail to kampong glam back when i was in primary 4, it still didnt occur to me that kampong glam was actually just across the street from bugis junction.

I remember when we had just gotten our assignments and i said i have never gone to arab street before, modissa looked at me like I wasnt a singaporean.

Embarking on this heritage trail with my teammates was definitely an experience that would not be forgotten. Even taking aside the memorable jump shot attempts and complaining of the heat and soreness in our legs, it was great to be able to learn together as a group when we walked around and tried to find the places and information about the monuments.

I probably would not have went on a heritage trail if not for the assignment, and our students in the future would probably look at the heritage trail as an excursion to stretch their legs and leave the boring classrooms behind, but it remains that there is much more to learn about our heritage than we would have originally thought.
