Balloon Sculpting Lesson at Tampines Regional Library

Hi friends

Like to share with you a photo of a wonderful time I had with my mum at Tampines Regional Library during the June school holiday - learning balloon sculpting! It is indeed a creative craft.



We almost didn't make it for the lesson as my younger brother was down with fever and my mum had to fetch my grandma from her home last minute so that she can look after him for the duration of time we are away.

I had so much fun. We met a father with his daughter in the class, and also a pair of brothers who came for the lesson by themselves! SO brave of them (wearing blue T-shirts, standing behind me)... had a burst balloon and without an adult! Well, they got some adult help from my mum; who conversed in Malay with them.

Wished that you had been there too?!!! Well, look out for any lesson at the library near you. It cost my mum $2/- for both of us. Balloons and reading materials included too! We made a flower, a twisted hat and a sword... all these we can bring home...YIPPY!! Balloon sculpting is really fun, I'm looking forward to a next one so that I can learn more tricks!

One needs to be creative to make more things with balloons and I asked my mum to look for more ideas so that we can learn together during the next school break. Want to learn too? Get my mum to teach you if you see here... oh, please do get the balloons and pumps ready.

Bye for now!

Movies Alert @ National Museum of Singapore

The Son of the Sheik
by George Fitzmaurice
1926 / USA / 72 min / Silent with music score by Jack Ward
A Programme of the National Museum Cinémathèque

Sat 31 Mar 2007
8pm
Gallery Theatre, National Museum of Singapore
Tickets: $8

The legendary Rudolph Valentino, one of the most iconic stars of silent cinema, stars in this visually intoxicating sequel to his career-defining The Sheik, portraying a hot-blooded young man who is lured into a thieves’ trap by a beautiful dancer, played by Vilma Banky.

An epitome of the grandeur and romance of early Hollywood silent cinema, The Son of the Sheik’s sultry beauty and torrid power are derived from the exotic romance which saturates every frame. More than anything that would follow in the fast-approaching sound era, this desert romance relied thoroughly on sex appeal. Valentino's own, of course, bordered on mythical proportions, but Vilma Banky was awarded just as many loving close-ups and she photographed luminously. The culmination of all this cinematic lust remains Valentino, on his indigo horse, kidnapping dancing girl Banky, whom he mistakenly accuses of having betrayed him. "I may not be your first victim," he hisses to a prostrate Vilma in the film’s most memorable line, "but, by Allah, I shall be the one you remember!"

Widely hailed as the best film of Valentino’s career, The Son of the Sheik is also his last work. Eight days after the premiere of the film, Valentino collapsed and died at the age of 31. His death sparked off a public hysteria and his funeral attracted an unprecedented crowd of more than 80,000 people on the streets of New York City.

The Son of the Sheik is part of the Arabian Dreams film programme of Under the Crescent Moon festival. The other film of the Arabian Dreams programme, The Adventures of Prince Achmed featuring live music by The Analog Girl, screens on Sat 24 Mar 2007.
