The Cultural Museum
It's time for visiting!!! Let's go!!! With me to the Cultural Museum...
The tourguide Auntie Elly took us across the road to the Cultural Museum. "Do you all know what this brown box is?" Auntie Elly asked us, pointing to a brown box with chains hung all over. We exchanged glances and whispered among each other. "It's a bank. Where all the money are put in a long time ago!" she told us. I was shocked. The box, just a little taller and at least twice the size of me, was used to put money? I could not believe it. But anyway, we walked on towards the entrance of the museum. While Auntie Elly purchased the tickets, we took some group photos. "Let's go in. However, you're not allowed to take pictures. So keep your cameras!" Auntie Elly reminded us. As a group, we walked into the museum. There were exhibits on Malay wedding costumes, decoration of rooms and many more. The caretaker of the museum allowed us to take only 1 picture, seeing that we were so tempted to take pictures. I chose to take a picture of a Malay wedding exhibit. There were costumes, furniture and jewellery on display. Just by looking at the displays, I could imagine how grand a Malay wedding could be... We went up to the second level to take a look at more of the exhibits. Looking downwards from the windows, beautiful scenery filled my eyes as I looked out of the windows. After taking a look at the exhibits at the second level, we went to the backyard to have a look. There were exhibits of birds, old cars, models of houses and fans. I was so amazed by the many interesting exhibits. Each exhibit had a caption with a story to tell. Too bad, we were only allowed to take 1 picture, or else I would have had brought home a load full of pictures to share... By Wen Yu
Auntie Elly, our tour guide, led us to the cultural museum. On the way, we saw a big brown box. Auntie Elly stopped. "Do you all know what this brown box is?" she asked, pointing to the big brown box. I was bursting with curiousity. When none of us could answer her, she said,"It's a bank. Where all the money are put in a long time ago!" A brown box had been a bank?!? What a shock! I still can't believe it! Some of my friends looked amazed. We continued to walk to the cultural museum. We took the chance to take a group photo when Auntie Elly went to buy the tickets but only a few of us wanted to take the photo. "Let's go in. However, you're not allowed to take pictures. So keep your cameras!" Auntie Elly warned us. We entered the museum together.WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There were two levels of so many exhibits! There were exhibits of old cars, models of houses, birds etc. I especially remember the wedding exhibit. There were displays of furniture, costumes, jewellery and cutlery that you might see at a malay traditional wedding, all very grand and beautiful. Too sad that we were not allowed to take any photos!(It was later then I learned from my friends that the caretaker had last minute allowed us to take one photo each but it was too late as we had already exited the museum!!!)

The Royal Museum
You wouldn't have believed it... WE SAW THE KING'S NEPHEW!!!!!
The other museum that we visited was the The Royal Museum. The museum showcased exhibits of the royal family's rooms. We saw sofa, pillows and cushion with gold trimmings on the side. Teacups and pots placed at the table side. Portraits adorned the walls, together with drapes and classy curtains that filled the room. I thought that I would be cool to sleep in a room like this. The dining room was what I liked the best. I had picture and photographs all over the walls. There was a long dinning table in the middle of the room. Expensive and elegant cutlery were placed on the table. The room had a high ceiling and decorative wallpaper. "It would be such a delight to have dinner in there" I chuckled to myself. As I was taking a look at the pictures plastered on the wall, my teacher Ms Ho came walking towards me, " The man in the picture, wearing a red shirt looks familiar, he looks like the guy sitting at the counter. " she told me. "Probably he is the person in the picture..." I answered. Curious to find out who the person is, Ms Ho and I made our way to the information counter. " Excuse me, may I know, are you in some way related to the king?" Ms Ho asked shyly. "I am the king's nephew..." The guy said as he flashed a smile. The king's nephew was at least 1.85cm tall and wore a yellow flowery shirt with white pants. "Could I take a picture with you?" I asked politely. "Sure!!!" the king's nephew readily agreed. I immediately handed my camera to Ms Ho and posed with the king's nephew. Soon, many of my friends came forward, all excited to take a picture with the king...
Looking at the picture in my camera, there was a wide grin on my face. I could not imagine who I had just saw... That's it!! Now the picture is with me forever! I then walked away gleefully to look at the other exhibits... By Wen Yu

| THE KING'S NEPHEW AND ME! (evidence) |
The museum is called the Royal Museum. Ther were exhibits of royal families rooms. At the back of the museum, there was the dining room, bedrooms and many more rooms. In the one of the the bedrooms, pictures of family filled the walls. The bed looked soft and comfy, and the curtains and drapes looked really nice too. The dining room was very grand and elegant cutlery was placed neatly on the table. In the front of the museum, there were a few information boards about royal families in Kelantan.That was where it all started. I was reading the information on the board when my friend walked over to me and exclaimed,"Klara! The King's nephew is standing at the counter! Look!" She pointed at a man on the information board and pulled my arm. She led me to the entrance of the museum and said excitedly,"Him! That's him!" A familar looking face was chatting to the museum caretaker. I gasped. COOL!!!!! Ms Ho was standing nearby and I asked her," Ms Ho! Is that the King's nephew?" She smiled and said,"Yes, he is. I asked him just now." My eyes widened. "Can you heIp me to take a photo of me with him?" I asked excitedly. She smiled kindly,"Okay!' I walked over to the King's nephew and asked politely,"May I take a photo with you?" "Sure!" he agreed, smiling. "Say cheese!" Ms Ho said and as I heard the familiar 'click' of my camera, I grinned happily, thinking of how my friends in Singapore were going to react when they hear that I actually met royal family! By Klara
