Inference:
I can infer that there were cultural exchanges between Singapore and Java. There was a Javanese-style statue found at Empress Palace in Singapore shown at the bottom which meant that there were connections between Java and Singapore. Therefore this suggests that Singapore was influenced by the Javanese culture.

Inference:
What I can infer from this source is Singapore had its own writing system but no one could decipher it. The Singapore Stone originally stood at the mouth of the Singapore River. Therefore this suggests that this source plays a part in the social and cultural connections in Singapore.

Dear dairy,
I just learnt something new today. I learnt that Singapore had relations with China before 1819. How did I know that, there were Chinese coins found at the "Forbiden Hill"- Fort Caning Hill now. They were used from the 10th-13th century. They were used as a form of payment in the past. There were also stem-cups found there! They were used from 1271-1368. They were produced in China during the Yuan Dynasty. I also learnt that Singapore had relations with India before 1819. There was a Javanese-style statue found at Empress Palace. It was from the 14th-15th century. There was also a gold armlet found at the Fort Canning Hill. The armlet can be found in the Javanese art , Balinese art and the temple. This is the best one, Singapore had a Singapore Stone! There were 50 lines of undecipherable inscriptions and many believed that it holds secrets to Singapore's ancient history! How I wish one day I would be able to see it for real! It was found at the Singapore River and it was from the 10th-13th century. That's all for now. Hope that I will find more interesting discoveries on Singapore before 1819!

-Cheers
