TT- Home Makeover

Last weekend was a rather exhausting one for us. We decided to major furniture shifting in the house.

After successfully weaning Roy we decided that it was time for the boys to move into their own room. We converted our existing study room into the boy’s room by moving the computers and study table into our master bedroom. Roy’s bed which was originally in our room was dismantled and set up in the boy’s room.

Their toys which used to occupy a corner in our hall were shifted to their room together with their books and piano. Their room is far from tidy but the house looks more presentable as the “toy mess” is limited to their room.

The next tackle I would have would be to do up the boy’s room to make it more comfy for both of them.

Any suggestions for sprucing up a boy’s room?

Racial Harmony Day

Dominique Thoughts

Tomorrow most school’s in Singapore will be celebrating Racial Harmony Day. This day is specially set aside to commemorate all the different races living in harmony in Singapore.

As part of National Education the students are taught that Racial Harmony Day serves to remind us about the racial division and destruction cost by the racial riots which occurred in 1964. The day is set aside to remind us of the importance of having a harmonious nation and society which has be been built on a rich diversity of culture and heritage.

With many countries suffering due to racial clashes and terrorism one has much to rejoice for peace and stability within the nation state.

In the primary school my pupils are taught that they should learn to make friends with people of all races and religions. Racial and religious tolerance is essential for everyone to live in harmony.

How do you celebrate Racial Harmony in your country?
