Coming together?
For this year racial harmony, it is all about neighboors. so do you know your neighboors? what's their name? age? Likes and dislikes? have you talked to them yet?
if not, start talking. this year, we really wanted to achieve an objective, to strengthen the bonds of neighboors. with this, we all as one united people could come together as one to build more stronger bonds. we would like to call ourselves unbreakable.
hey, still not inspired?
Neighboor as a noun is a person that lives near another. So can i say they are the closest people you can find everyday? so if it is an emergency, who do you call? oh wait, what if you have no cell phone with you? and you are at your house? who do you shout for? i know you would be shouting for help. DUHH. but to whom you want it to be heard?! of course somebody closest to you, so who?! tell me noww......
IT IS YOUR NEIGHBOOR!
you might think this scenerio is crazy and impossible. but i guess, anything can happen in this technology world. yeah, i bet.
nownowww...
i know sometimes neighboors may be kinda scary, or whatever it is. but you still need them in some cases.
old times, people are really bonded. maybe because of the environment-kampong. but why must flats now should be stopping you to get to know your neighboors.
i do talk alot sometimes. or should i say alot now,
okey fine last shoutout!
come together! interact with your neighboors cause they are the closest person around you. i shall say the bonds between you and your neighboors are very important. to yourself, your family and our society.
KEEP ON BUILDING BONDS.

Poems
Coming home from school
seeing my neighbour
standing on a stool
fixing the basketball net
on the wall
saying how do you do
i am fine thank you
entering my house
waving goodbye
and close the door
i know am close to my neighbour by a smile
how about you?

Shared Stories
My neighbour
A person who would help me out
when i am in need or
When i am overseas
Although we are of different races
or religion
we always care for each other
i know about her culture very well
during our festivals
we exchange cookies and money packets....
we go for outings together sometimes
my neighbour
a person who i can depend on
I know about my neighbour..
well do all of you know your neighbour?

Time to go back to past........
Now let's go back to the past............
Do your'll know why we are celebrating racial harmony day?
Well, click on the ' 1964 race riots' hyperlink of the short brief about racial harmony day in singapore, below....
Racial Harmony Day is celebrated annually on 21 July in Singapore. The event is to commemorate the 1964 Race Riots, which took place on 21 July 1964.
Racial Harmony Day also represents a day for schools to reflect on, and celebrate Singapore's success as a racially harmonious nation and society built on a rich diversity of culture and heritage. In schools all across the nation on that day, students are encouraged to be dressed in their traditional costumes such as the Cheongsam and the Baju Kurung. Traditional delicacies are also featured in the celebrations. Traditional games such as Kutih-kutih and zero point are played in schools, where inter-class competitions are sometimes organised.

Poems about our neighbour......
Knowing about your neighbour is easy
However, some people might be fussy
and some other might be as sweet as candy
No matter what race they are
we should always respect them as who they are
Try to communicate with them everyday
to make the everyday a happy day
Go outings
To share your feelings
knowing more about their culture
is like knowing more about the nature
Thus, go now
knock on their doors now
smile at them now
and INTERACT with the now
to KNOW more about them now............
