17th Feb’07, Saturday at 11:30 am: SUN NIN FAI LOK! (Ages 7 & above)
This Saturday join Shree Aunty for a read-aloud of a small Chinese story. She will also teach you how to make special “Ang Pow” red pouches / envelopes. These are commonly used for the Chinese New Year and are considered extremely auspicious to receive as a gift and even more auspicious if they contain money. So, come over… learn to make and decorate one.

Paramapadam – The ancient game of Snakes and Ladders
Let’s rediscover the simple pastimes of yore. Games for which you don’t need electricity or batteries! Paramapadam is a board game that is just like snakes and ladders, but with an ethical twist. It’s supposed to be a game of life where bad deeds (symbolized by sinful snakes) bring you down (to hell) and good deeds (symbolized by helpful ladders) take you up to the top (heavens). We also have some other traditional games lined up, so come on and check out whether you can take on real challenges… not virtual ones!
Please make sure you register for both these activities by Friday evening.
