Stratford-u-Avon

25 Nov 2013: Here's the place where we got to see Shakespeare's home town. And the statue to tell us that we were at the right place. We were going to have a walking tour in this town.

If you had studied Shakespeare's literary works, you would understand the meaning behind each statement. As for me, I only knew, "Hamlet" and "As You Like it"..

I studied these two literary books of Shakespeare for my STPM which I took privately when I first became a qualified teacher. I studied privately through post from the Cambridge College in Singapore.

    after seeing the photos of the quotes you taken at all four sides, now i think this statue is kind of interesting.. all four sides carved with dialogues from Shakespeare's famous literature.. i've heard of Hamlet and Twelfth Night, not the other one..

    I thought that town is called Stratford-Upon-Avon. Is that a British way of short form?

    Wow, this really brought back memories. I went there more than 10 years ago. I can only digest Shakespeare works not in their original form poem but in stories form.

    I studied Shakespeare's Julius Caesar and The Merchant of Venice when I was in secondary school. If I have a chance I would love to visit his home town too.

Twin bananas

Image
Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
