Our Red Lady Fingers
While watering our vegetables, we saw two grown Red Lady Fingers. The kids came down to pluck. This time, they were Jien Wei’s. However, they were hard. Could they be too old?
We then compared to Jen Ning’s small red lady fingers and found that hers was hard too. I guess that was why nobody sold Red Lady Fingers.

Learning to Measure
After wushu class, the kids learnt to measure with rulers. I brought in 1 meter ruler and the kids learnt that 1 m = 100cm. The normal ruler is only 15 cm. However, the ruler which I am lending to them can be opened up to 30cm. Those rulers would be their third present.
We were going to make a patterned paper or rather “batik”. Thus, each took a piece of half recatangle paper and measured. It was difficult but most of them tried until the aim is achieved. I assisted Le Xin, Justin, Jin Shan, Jing Kai and also Foo Soon.
