Pirate Ship Design Contest

 Just as I was wondering what else I can involve Ace in during this school holidays, Shushu informed us that there is some sort of pirate ship making competition in Fengshan CC and that there will be bouncy castles there.

We arrived to find that the bouncy castles were for younger kids and not for kids Ace's age.. so too bad lor.. he can only make the pirate ship lor..

They provided lots of stuff like crayons, scissors, glue, double sided tape for people do do their designs on the spot..


 Master at work right.. in the end though, Ace coloured using crayons to the edges and so we were unable to tape and put the boat together. Also, we realized that one of the sides was put in opposite direction and so we coloured on the wrong side.. so had to cut it out and colour the otherside..

But no matter how we fixed it, it cannot gel and stick together.. so the only other option was to bring the ship kit home and do at home...

So we brought it home and Ace learnt from his mistakes and decided to use colour pencil and was careful not to colour on the corners used for pasting..]



 This is our end result.. it says RAD SHIP on the sides.. do you know wat RAD mean???

If you have a tween son like me.. you will probably know RAD means "radical". It is just one of the words they use frequently like awesome, epic, cool.

 It also comes with a warning:)

 And a pirate captain!:)

But I dun think we will win though.. Shushu says that there is this guy who made sea around it and had mermaids and pirates in his ship... should be a sure winner.. Well, we were just not willing to put THAT much effort into it lah.. Happy can liao :)

PS: We did not win.. cos Shu Shu said many people really put effort into it and even made sea and mermaids:) Well, just take it as holiday project lah:)
