Tibetan Bowls

The Tibetan Bowls were very relaxing to me because when I heard their unique sounds all my stress was gone, it was a very interesting. Those strange sounds put me in a different place where I did not worry as much. I felt very peaceful and very relaxed. The bowls made all sorts of noises, some sounded happier (higher) or sadder (lower), some bowls made sounds that i never even heard before! It was an amazing session and I wish to do it again, it made me more aware of the present. So if your feeling overwhelmed go on the internet and listen to some Tibetan Bowls.

Images of Singapore Museum

The Images of Singapore Museum was a lot of fun. All of it was really cool, but i liked the nativity scenes.  It gave us a idea of what people used to look like back then. I thought their clothes were very interesting because it tell us what they wore  even thought they were all manikins. The clothing mirrored their status. For example some of the people wore very nice clean clothes (they were probably wealthy), as for the rest of the people they wore average clothes so that must have meant they were not rich, but not poor. I learned some new things about Singapore too. I did not know that Singapore had a war with Japan, well I'm not surprised because Japan was one of the most aggressive countries (in WWII) and I was really surprised to hear that Singapore won. I was surprised because the Japanese had so many soldiers that were merciless and if you did not salute them they would bring out the firing squad when meant death. These facts were interesting and educational.
