Projecting a happy future

The science centre [ke qi guan as i'm taught by Barney's chinese teacher] is a great place for kids of any age. Barney had a great time yesterday, imitating the T-rex at the door, then he watched the Bear movie, made a bear puppet, was given a chipmunk tatoo, and then treated to a science experiment with a polar bear coming out intermittently. Of course, Barney had the most fun calling for the bear to come out on stage, and the rest of the kids cheered as the kor kor and cheah cheah showed them how to freeze a banana and make it into a hammer etc..There were lots of kids from different schools celebrating children's day at the centre.

I went to the SAM museum myself last friday, as Barney fell asleep on the car ride there. Good to know there was a $50 000 grant given to the winning artist in a competition called Singapore Buffet. Mostly Nafa student entries but i'm sure if there were more publicity more people would have got involved.

Glad Barney's growing up in a place that encourages curiosity and fun, thinking and innovation.
