Hello. I missed my 7 Quick Takes last Friday. Today is a public holiday. Idul Adha! :) It was so embarrassing because I bumped to 2 Moslem friends and I forgot to wish them!! :( They celebrated the day Abraham was willing sacrifice Ismail (uhm, yup, they don't believe it was Ishak there) and because God stopped Abraham from doing that at the end, it was a lamb which was offered as a sacrifice instead of Abraham's son.
Soooo..if I were in Indonesia at this point of time, you'll see goats, lambs, here and there because people were selling goats and lambs :) In my school, our student council also donated a goat every year to a local community around us (usually we donated to a mosque).
Two Sundays ago I spent time at Paul's house. I hope Paul's sister doesn't mind I put her daughter's photo here =P She's 2.5 years old already and was enjoying Cinderella. Interestingly, she picked up 'Singlish' already!!
"Mouse..scared scared one"
"Got xx"
The use of 'one', 'got', 'lah', 'meh' is the mark of Singapore Colloquial English.
Thanks to Sharmini, I tried to teach Ryan using clay. Surprisingly, he doesn't really play with clay. Initially he asked, "What is it?" He touched the clay and said, "Ihhh." (disgusted!) Then I took a little bit of the clay and make a round shape. He followed me and said, "Ahhh. Blue tack!" (he loves blue tack!) Then I said, "Nooo. It's clay."
He loves it! He mixed all the colors >.< *no more individual color clay now!*
Last Saturday, I had cross-stitch session at Hillcrest Study Centre with the primary school girls.
We were aiming to cross-stitch a name, but most of them ended up only finishing 1 or 2 first letters of their name (except two girls!). One of them called me "Ferninda trouble-shooter" because my job was to help them untie the accidental knot or calm them down when other accidents happened (e.g., they didn't pull the thread so the two strain-thread became four-strain). It was fun =D
And...girls night out on Sunday! We (actually only Pheara and Evi) cooked together :) Sharmini brought dragon fruit, we played loud music as we cooked *hehehe* and just laughed and had fun!
Before that, me and Paul went to National Museum of Singapore. We followed the audio guide ONE BY ONE so we spent 2.5 hours walking HALF of the gallery. It was soooo relaxing. Much much much much better than spending time at shopping mall or watching movie. The museum fee is $10 for foreigners :(
Boon Keng is the name of the MRT stop near Paul's house. I didn't know that it's a name of a medical doctor who was influential in the early 20th Century in Singapore.
