Nurtured Creativity???

What way to burn my Sunday...

Spent a good 7 hours at Queensway SCDF (S'pore Civil Defence Force) learning Emergency Procedures, Fire Precautions,Evacuation techniques, Chemical threats, Bomb shelters etc...

Was there because of the Thailand CIP, Project Hope, Spirit & Renewal... a humanitarian project for the Tsunami affected Khao Lak... this course was aimed at preparing all the volunteers from CBSS & HCI for any emergencies that might occur in Khao Lak (touch wood)...

Anyway, it's the first time I attend lectures with my kids... what a noisy and restless bunch they were... never ceased to take advantage of the lack of C & C skills of the poor CD officers to talk or chit chat or scribble on papers...



These two artpieces were done by the talented Nicolette... She has the wonderful ability to be very focused in her artwork despite the irritation from the lecturer... The drawings about sumed up our day there... I take my hats off to her... Makes me wonder if her 'creative talent' was nurtured by the boring lessons she takes in school...
