National Day cum Charity Event

National Day was celebrated at Pat's yesterday. Children and parents were encouraged to come in red and white. At the same time, there was also a Batik painting activity in support of charities under the MCYS. For $25, each child was given a piece of cloth with pre-prepared batik pattern on it and all they had to do was paint over it. Quite a sight. They not only painted the batik, they also painted themselves, parents and the floor ! Fortunately the paint was actually food dye.

Lunch for the kids was rice, fried egg, carrot and fishballs. Ash was a good girl and fed herself and even drank from a cup. Vera's mummy was impressed.

"I want fishballs" was what Ash said when she had finished hers. So I went round looking for more fishballs and managed to get more from Miss Nina. Lunch for me was rice, curry chicken, fried egg, fried peanuts and a stick of otah.

After lunch was bath time for the kids and time for parents to leave. So it was a scene of crying kids and anxious parents. Miss Belle and Ma Lao Shi both said it was an unusual day as literally every kid cried at bath.....Ash no different.
