I brought Caleb to a storybook making workshop as part of its Children's Season organised by the National Museum. It has gone through a major revamp that took 3 years and this is the first time i came after its renovation was completed in 2006,i think.

How did Caleb take to the activity? It must be fun!
I'm taking up another part-time job, on top of the one with RP. :p

@Nancy: what are you doing?sth at the National Museum?Too bored is it?he he.
Anyway,the story book making was 1.5 hours,too long for a 3 year old kid.He kept asking me,'Mummy,shall we go?'
haha.I was the one doing the story book.Sigh.The facilitator not very engaging too,overall,its not fantastic.Maybe Caleb is too young for it.The Mozart Child prodigy thingy seems very fun though!

is it me or the bulding is REALLY white? when i was back earlier this year, it didnt seem this white! or maybe because by the time i got off work, it was too dark to tell it was this white.

Hi! how was the storymaking session? I signed Faith up for the murmurs workshop series opposite but was v disappointed because the activities were way too simple for her. Jus dab/squeeze/paint a bit here and there and charge $20/session!!!!!! Duration too long also. 50min to play with playdoh? Needless to say, all the parents looked so bored. I signed up for 3 sessions and gave the last one a miss. :( Would hv gone for the storymaking workshop which is more intellectually stimulating but it stated must be at least 36mth or something. Major regret. HAIZ.

Always good to see these traditional (traditional to where, I wonder?) buildings restored. A place feels more like a museum, to me, when it looks like this.
