Racial Harmony Day

Hi,I`m here again!!! Let me begin with my speech...
Racial Harmony Day is celebrated annually on 21 July in Singapore.
What is Racial Harmony Day???Racial harmony is harmony between the races to maintain a good relationship between racial groups. This is very important for a multi-racial country like Singapore to ensure peaceful living here. If the different racial groups were to fight among themselves, a small country like Singapore will fall. Racial Harmony Day is also important because when we have racial harmony day , we are actually mantaining peace and harmony between the different religions. without racial harmony day, we might have war every single day.
Once the social fabric is torn, it cannot easily be sewn together again. Racial harmony has been the distinguishing trait of Singaporean society since Independence. This is not because our social fabric is inherently stronger than other multi-racial societies, or that we are immune to such problems. It is because a great deal of hard work and care has gone into tending and strengthening it. It should not be taken for granted.
Everyone should respect other religions beliefs and not laugh at them.If people laugh at your religion belief , you could also laugh at his as they are not scientific .
It`s the end of my speech.... Next time come and visit me.... Bye!!!

Racial Harmony Day in school

Hi everyone, today I am going to tell you about Racial Harmony Day which had happened in my school yesterday.
Lets starts from the beginning... On that day, i almost forgot that, it was a special day, Racial Harmony Day. When our relieve teacher, Miss Tan comes in, I first thought : What was today homework... But, to my surprised, she showed us a very funny video which I had learnt alot from it.
In this video, I saw teachers who were marrying each other!!! There were a total of 4 different races, Chinese, Indian, Malay and finally the Christian. The most funniest race was the Christian`s. When Miss Lim, who was marrying another teacher, who I can`t really see very clearly his face, going to kiss each other!!! This is the part which was the funniest ... What I had learnt??? I had learnt how different races married and what was the difference between their races.

The other video was about the arts of Henna. I had found it interesting and creative when they showed us different designs.
We also had activities of Henna, we first splits into groups of 5 or more. Each group have a cone-like thing. We had a little difficulty in pressing the cone as the cone was hard. Thanks for Eunise to found a way to squeeze it out.

What about recess time??? During recess, the canteen was like a party , there were different kinds of foods which i can choose from. In there , my favourite food was `curry puffs`!!! I bought atleast three `curry puffs` on that day as it was very delicious.
That`s The End for today!!! And wait for my next news...... Bye!!!
