Around mid March, I went to Fort Canning Park to know more about the history of Singapore despite that day was not a great time for excursion due to the wet weather.

Today, I went to Old Ford Factory located along Upper Bukit Timah Road and to continue my interest in the history of Singapore.
All in all, the British surrender and then the Japanese occupation for 3 years and 8 months have helped to shape today's Singapore in one way or another. Take history as a lesson. If we do not know the past, we would not be able to move forward.
Note that it is FREE ADMISSION till 31 Mar 2008. If you want to save a few dollars, drop by during this weekend.
BTW, I watched the documentary screening "Battle For Singapore" at the AV threatre too. It was $1 per person which was really worth the money.
