So we searched along the Promenade, towards the Parliament House. There, we spotted the elephant statue.

"This bronze elephant statue is a gift from King Chulalongkorn of Siam in 1871." One of our more well-read group mates said.

We then remembered that the Old Parliament House was one of the stations and hence, in case we could not find Rella, we decided to check out the information for the Old Parliament House.

The site of the Old Parliament House used to be the home of the former Temenggong (local chief) in 1827. In 1954, the Legislative Assembly moved to the house originally built for the merchant John Argyle Maxwell by George Drumgold Coleman. Enlarged and renovated several times, this house was entirely remade for the use of the Legislative Assembly. Governor, Sir John Nicoll had commissioned the restoration work. And upon its completion, Nicoll opened the Legislative Assembly House on 9 July 1954. In 1965, the Legislative Assembly of Singapore was renamed the Parliament of Singapore, and the State of Singapore became the Republic of Singapore.

The Old Parliament House is the oldest surviving government building in Singapore. There is a photo gallery, named “Corridors of Time” along the corridors on level 2 in The Arts House. It shows the building’s conversion from a courthouse to the parliament House by featuring 33 personalities who worked in the House. These individuals played significant roles in the changes and progress of Singapore’s independent legislative system and Constitution.

And there she was! We spotted Rella at the Old Parliament House! But before we could get to her, a flash mob appeared out of nowhere!
