16th May 2014 - Shakespearean Language

















After last night's show I began reading up on the script of the play a bit and yes, I was impressed. The rhymes and poetry of Shakespeare is quite a delight! I surprise myself by how drawn I am to it

15th May 2014 - Shakespeare in the Park


















I was quite surprised to find myself enjoying the show The Merchant of Venice so much! Since I have never read a book of Shakespeare I was afraid the language would throw me off. But wow, I was impressed. I also liked being in the park setting and spying on the rest of the audience around us, what food did they pack, who did they come with, what mats did they bring....?

14th May 2014 - Mamashop


























This is a sight I really miss, at every corner of our living spaces use to stand these tiny provision shops that sell everything you need. From sweets to newspapers to batteries to inhalers and even super glue, they used to be everywhere at our doorstep... Yet now they are a rare sight, sigh.

13th May 2014 - Dorset Buttons
















I had fun testing out this old traditional craft today. It is amazing to imagine that in the 18th Century, there weren't any mass-produced buttons and everything was done by hand. Craft, it is an age-old necessity then!

Who knew we would be able to find such birds within our built-up concrete city?

11th May 2014 - Multiculturalism and Multiracialism















(Another blank page, oh sorry I am getting lazy!) at today's session, I looked around and thought back about what Khai told me yesterday, she said she was so happy to see the mix of races and backgrounds. Indeed, I was so happy to see many strangers becoming friends and the mingling of various cultures, it is times like these that I realize that Multiracialism isn't just a government slogan or campaign, it is something that happens organically. And I am proud and happy to live in Singapore.

10th May 2014 - Community Crafting













I wished I drew something that day but I didn't due to my exhaustion! It was such a successful community knitting session today that I almost wished it could be longer. Almost. I sat with a group of strangers and we shared personal stories, helped each other along with new knitting patterns and there was just a generally friendly mood in the air! The best compliment a facilitator can receive is when participants all chime in the same words "Please make it happen more often, please make it s regular affair!"
