On our last day in Singapore before taking the flight home we went to the Museum of national History. Which is very well done. And it also clearly shows how the Straights Chinese turned to the west.

“When they embraced the West”? 🙂 Selamat pagi kawanku. I’m slowly starting to catch up. T15 tells me I am well behind. Doesn’t matter. Your works are very beautiful. Though this style is a tad different from your usual one, I like it very much. Look forward to seeing the other 14. A bientôt mon amie.
