We were thrilled at how easily we could exploit her knowledge. Thinking that we might just ace our project with this person, the grins on our faces could not be wiped off the entire time we were walking towards the bridge.

At the bridge, we told her, "Ok Rella, this is the first station that you will have to clear to get one step closer to meeting your dear Raffles. This should be easy for you. We need you to tell us who this bridge is named after and the secret behind this bridge."

Rella quickly shared the information we needed for the bridge.

"Oh... This bridge was named after Major-General William Orfeur Cavenagh, who was the Governer of the Straits Settlements from 1859 to 1867. The bridge was built in 1869, and is the oldest bridge along the Singapore River in its original form.

Cavenagh Bridge was initially designed to act as a drawbridge, which could be raised to allow barges to pass through the river. However, the idea was removed eventually due to some technical difficulties. Thus, Cavenagh Bridge became a fixed suspension bridge. The bridge then went on to serve as a pedestrian thoroughfare, allowing people to cross the Singapore River without having to rely on boats to get from one side to the other."

As we walked over the other side of the bridge, Rella couldn't help but sigh as she saw the statues of the Kucinta Cats and the First Generation.

Despite the carefree depiction of the first generation, she lamented their hard life and how they had to make a living being hawkers or taking on odd-jobs. For them, having a roof over their heads was considered a luxury...

"Oh God! Even the cats were not spared from the curse! These were my favourite cats!" Rella sighed with teary eyes.

These were the Singapura cats which were very prevalent in Singapore! Their small size, large ears, and strikingly beautiful eyes made them very distinctive.
