Hi Everyone,
We are now celebrating Chinese New Year. This is one of the many festivals celebrated by the Chinese. The Malays, Indians and other races also celebrate their own festivals. For this week, I would like you to reflect on the meaning of these festivals and how we can preserve racial harmony in Singapore.
To help you with your reflection, I have listed some questions/pointers below:
1. Tell us about the festival you celebrate.
2. Why do you celebrate this festival?
3. How do you celebrate the festival?
4. Do you know what are the festivals celebrated by the other races? If so, could you name a few? Also tell us who celebrate them and why they celebrate them.
5. Do you think the celebration of the various festivals help in strengthening racial harmony among the various race in Singapore? If so, how?
6. In your opinion, how can we develop stronger bonds among the various races in Singapore?
Looking forward to reading your reflection soon.

Happy Chinese New Year
Hello fine trees!
How are your Chinese New Year holidays? Have the Chinese been visiting your relatives? I visited only some of my relatives. Today I realised that some of my relatives had aged a lot. One of them who is about 93 could hardly recognise me! My own father-in-law could not remember his own parents' names! He even got angry because he thought that we did not give him a red packet. By the way he is 89 this year.
How are the non-Chinese fine trees? Were you invited to Chinese homes? Anyway I hope that you also enjoy your holidays.
As for those who have received red packets, don't forget to share your blessings with me because I only received two red packets, one from my mother and the other from my elder son who is not married.
Don't forget to bring the reply slip for Parents' forum. See you on Wednesday.

Welcome fine trees
Welcome fine trees!
I said goodbye to fore trees two weeks ago and some of them were very sad. They wanted me to continue with last year's blog. I hope I can link all of you to the class blog soon!
