Trip to Kampong Glam
Today, our school brought us to Kampong Glam to teach us about the Malay customs and beliefs. Facts not known to us were brought to light and I had fun, and it was fun knowing that I was actually looking at things mentioned our Social Studies textbook!
We were first taken to Alsagoff Arab School after a long bus ride. We learnt that the Muslims needed to put their holy book, the quran, on a special stand, and it was wrong to put it on any place one pleases. Reading it while walking is also not appropriate. After that, we were taken the back street, where we saw a traditional barber who cut people’s hair without the use of electronic appliances!
Later, we were taken through a street, where we saw conserved shop-houses, a rare sight in Singapore! We were then taken to the National Malay Heritage Centre, formerly used as the palace of Sultan Hussein, former ruler of Temasek(Singapore), where we met traditional Malay clothes sellers selling clothes with prices up to $600! We had our break there, and we were ready to devour our food, especially the Malay kueh which we were given to us as a treat from our tour guide. Yummy!
We then went to Sultan mosque, it was the first time I went into a mosque. We learnt that mosques were built with a curved ceiling so that the speaker’s voice could be projected to all worshippers. We learnt what an average Muslim has to upkeep in his faith.
Finally, were taken to a perfume shop where we bought some at a cheap rate-$1 a bottle. Then, we went on the bus as we said our goodbyes reluctantly to Kampong Glam.

Hello there!
Hi children,
You must be having a great time.
Do take the rest you deserve and spend quality time with your family.
Holiday is not all about the places that you have visited but more about
the fun moments that you have had with your loved ones.
These memories would go a long, long way.
If you have not been having a good time, be positive. Use your thinking cap and
do something fun. Remember, happiness is within your control.
Once again, take care and stay well. See you real soon.
Btw, remember to complete all your homework. Start on a good note when
school begins next term.
See ya!
Love,
Mdm B

Do You Believe in Yourself?
Hi children,
Have you ever doubted that you are capable of doing great things in life?
Well, to be very honest with you, I have had such doubts creeping into me occasionally.We are born for great purposes in life. Each one of us has an important role to play. We are important beings in this universe. Unfortunately, along the way, some of us allow doubt to blur the vision and dreams our parents have set for us. Rise up children! Discover the giant within you and reign! Dare to dream big and pursue that dream.
Nothing is impossible!
Let me share with you a fantastic quote from the movie " Akeela and the Bee".
Quote
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
(Quoting Marianne Williamson)

If you want to be important-wonderful. If you want to be recognized-wonderful. If you want to be great- wonderful...You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.
So children, be a person of great faith, love and grace. All other things will be added to you.
