Mission Accomplished

Time: 10.36am
Actual Date for blogging: 12 March (so i'm like 2 weeks late)

Mission: To find the full collection for NBC Coffins
Location: China Square
Date: 12 March

Armed with my new camera, I'm determined to capture the day's event. I dragged Jen along with me and we headed to China Square. I used to work around that area and I've always like the atmosphere there. It's like so modern-going-to-be-vintage kinda feel. Oh well, I guess only I know what I'm saying.

I was supposed to venture Arab St/ Beach road someday but I guess I'll start with China Square first. I bought a few 'coffins' online from yahoo auctions and I'm on my way to collect them. I never knew that China Square has a flea market on weekends. It's great for toy collectors! I even met 2 ex schoolmates there..(ok, that was not important...I'm just blabbling away)

I was ecstatic when I found more of the 'coffins' to add to my collection. I bought my first one (the boogie man) in Taiwan and I really wanted to complete the collection. The nice lady who sold it to me was kind enough to gimme a discount..I sourced around but failed to find the last 2 to make the collection complete. It's the 2 of the little kidos..if u've got them...PLS SELL IT TO ME! It's from the first series... I doubt I'll be able to find them anywhere soon. So here's some of the pics I took that fateful day.

TaDaa! The collection!


Aniway...I realised that Science is sooo tough these days. What kinda questions are they trying to get pri school kids to understand!? When I was in Pri 3, I was taught to put my hands in 2 pails of cold and hot water and differentiate the temperature (which even a 4-yr-old can do)...now my student is asked questions like : " Is bougainvillea poisonous? Is the outer covering of birds' feet skin or scales? Which of the following animals have mammary glands (MCQ Qns)" When I did a google on the second qns, I was given this – Birds' feet are covered with skin and then scales...***WHAT THE!?

I guess the education system here wants to challenge the poor child's general knowledge, but honestly, I think full-grown adults like us may not be able to answer them too...Gosh, spare the poor child..she's already confused enough.
