No Studying Here Please

At many cafes or popular eateries you will see a sign asking the public not to 'study'. This particular sign implies that you could study between midnight and 6 am if you wish! 

Students often study for hours at these places, so employers are obviously getting sick of it. 

There is also a joke here: you can leave your wallet or cellphone lying around and it will be safe - but don't ever leave your study notes. The notes will get stolen!

Musical and dance extravaganza

Nadine, Celia, Adam and I got another chance to see some of NJC's extraordinary musical and dance talents at a concert at the school on Thursday. Pictured are some of the instruments - the 'kucheng' (long harp-like instrument mentioned in an earlier post); and the 'anklung' (held by the 2 girls in NJC uniform). There were over 40 kids on stage with these anklungs - the sound was something I had never heard before. Will try and post a video clip shortly.

The 3 girls in costume are the 'Indian Dance' performers. We also saw Malay Dance, Western Dance, the Harmonica Ensemble (over 60 harmonica players!!), and more. Awesome. 

Steamed Dough balls

The famed 'steamed dough balls' which are sold in all shapes and sizes in Singapore, and are full of all sorts of things.
