Amitabha Buddhist Centre
Amitabha Buddhist Centre
One interesting fact about this place was that the on both sides of the entrance, there are Prayer wheels engraved with the Sanskrit mantra “Om Mani Padme Hum”. If you spin the prayer wheel which is also believed to be a Tibetan Buddhism tradition, brings the same meritorious effect as reciting the prayers orally.
Masjid Khadijah
Masjid Khadijah
Though we did not get to go in to Masjid Khadijah. we learnt that the whole mosque was funded by people. The tour guide also shared that the chandelier was donated by a member of the public and was also from another race. It showed Singapore's diversity and the kindness of the community.

Body Art: Henna Painting - Beautiful Encounters with Gold
This is my Henna artwork after the teacher teaching us a few technique. I tried during a flower and other side designs.
The teacher started off with teaching us some simple strokes like straight lines and curvy lines. Then we slowly advanced to making designs.
This is what I tried on the paper before I did it on my hand. I was very proud of my practice work.
This is my final product of my henna art work.
The movie showed how people with disabilty adapted.
This is me and my friends watching it.
Some scenes were very emotional.
This movie is captivating in a sense where I got to see how they communicate with their sign languages
Reflection
Cognitive capitalThe cognitive aspect of learning about Chinese culture involves acquiring knowledge about its history, language, traditions, philosophies, and social norms. It includes understanding cultural symbols, values, practices, and the impact of Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism on Chinese society. In the different associations that we went to we learned about the lifestyle of people in the different chinese sub groups. In the Hakka association, they showed the lifestyle of the older Hakka tradition and how it evolved through out the years. For example Hakka culture evolved through centuries of migration and adaptation, shaping its unique identity. This movement influenced their language, cuisine, and architecture, This intellectual engagement enhances cultural literacy and fosters a deeper appreciation of the complexities and richness of Chinese heritage.
Social capital The social aspect of henna art involves its role in cultural and communal events, particularly in weddings, festivals, and religious ceremonies. Henna application often serves as a social activity where family and friends gather to celebrate, share stories, and bond. It's a traditional practice that fosters community ties, enhances social cohesion, and preserves cultural heritage. Personally, Henna ties people of different culture around. For example when we were younger, there was always Henna booths in carnival that makes children excited. Henna art also acts as a means of personal expression and identity, with intricate designs symbolizing various cultural meanings and personal milestones. Henna allows me to improve my net working skills in a way where I have conversations about the cultural aspect behind my henna or social events.
Psychologic capital The book "Child of Deaf Adults" (CODA) explores the complex psychological aspects of family dynamics and identity in deaf households. The story follows the protagonist as she navigates the worlds of the deaf and hearing, encouraging empathy, resiliency, and cultural pride. The movie looks at issues with communication, personal development, and the ability to understand other people's viewpoints to change oneself.In the show, it was interesting to see the way they interacted. In the end, it celebrates diversity and the strength gained from embracing one's heritage and forming meaningful connections despite differences It emphasizes themes of acceptance, self-discovery, and the significance of finding one's voice amidst familial and societal expectations.This movie changed my thinking and it made me feel more resilient in my thinking. Seeing people with disability fight their challenge made me feel more motivated to do better.
