Scrapbooking with Grannies

Last year this time, I was at the Singapore Indoor Stadium, enjoying a spectacular performance from my favourite Mandarin Rock band - Mayday. How time flies indeed.

And a year later ... ...

Well, did something meaningful today. My scrapbooking friend, who is also a scrapbooking instructor, was invited to teach scrapbooking to a group of elderly ladies. Gosh, imagine my excitement and abit of fear when Jenn asked me if I could help out. Excited - well, is all about sharing my hobby with more people for a good cause, Fear -  the elderly ladies sometimes only speak their own dialect, which could mean, I will have difficulty communicating with them. Besides my now very very broken Hainanese (I used to speak much better dialect when I was a kid as that's the dialect I spoke with both sets of my grands), I speak a haphazard collection of Hokkien and Cantonese vocaubulary!!! Horror, I know.

Thank goodness, the grannies all know bits of Chinese here and there and after getting all the more complicated parts completed for the grannies, it is interesting to find the grannies find joy in cutting some of the finer details with a less precise scissors. (Note: for safety reasons, the organizers have given the grannies those child-safe scissors for the grannies) They even requested that they wanted to cut the finer details themselves! Lovely! And it is also interesting to see the grannies helping each other out too!

So, on a very stuffy and scorching Sunday afternoon, I have a meaningful time spent doing meaningful stuff. Just that I am kind of dehydrated now. Drowning myself with water now.

Alright, hope to be involved in such interesting activities again, be it in the near future or far future.

Yes, as long as the dates do not clash with my concert days or "out of town" days, I will always be able to help out.

Now, facing a difficult Monday tomorrow.

Cheers!

Coming Soon

Wow! Just realise I haven't been updating for such a long long long time.

Is not that I have been having a very boring life - NO WAY! How could I be leading a boring lifestyle if I have made it out to Europe, caught numerous Mandopop concerts and Classical concerts?

Truth is, I have been very hooked on Facebook... ...

Alright, I will try to update soon.

Meantime, good night.
