Hari Raya Holiday

It was a happy Tuesday (as all public holidays are) as we met the sister, the brother, the boyfriend for brunch. We checked out a new place which to me was so-so only. Perhaps, it was because the place didn't serve *GASP* ketchup?!

Anyhow, after a very enjoyable session of great company, the sister and the boyfriend headed off for makan session round 2. The brother continued to hang out with us and we strolled down the road for our own makan session round 2 (desserts of pancakes & dessert).

We chanced upon Hari Raya-themed activities at the Singapore Art Museum where there were cut-out boards in traditional costumes.

Har?

O?

Heh

Hee

There was also a kueh-making workshop (of clay) and it's Kate's first time getting her hands dirty in craft. (I feel ashamed saying this as it's totally lack of effort on my part to introduce her to painting!) It was so cute seeing her sit at the miniature table & chair alongside other children, watching the cheche conduct the session. My kid is ready for school!

Some observations:
1. She kinda gets the idea of following instructions as she 'rolls' the clay as told, though she's not able to actually do it herself.
2. She is fidgety. She wanted to stand up several times in the course of 10-minutes and I think she'd have wandered off if I wasn't there to keep her in her seat.
3. She doesn't like to get her hands dirty. 3/4 through the session, she wanted to get up to wash her hands. I helped her to do so thinking that she's had enough of sitting still. When her hands were washed, however, she wanted to go back to "roll some more" - so I deduce that while she enjoys the activity, she didn't like how her hands felt grimey.

So proudly, I share with you Kate's first craft piece - clay pineapple tart!

Don't judge the horrid colour ok, everyone got turd-coloured clay thankyouverymuch :P
