Zone 3 Block Party at Blk 195
The Bishan East Zone 3 Block Party was held in conjunction with Deepavali Celebration.
About 150 residents were shown how the traditional Kolam was created. Kolam is a form of sand painting that is drawn using rice powder by female members of the family in front of their home. It is widely practised by Hindus in South India. A Kolam is a sort of painted prayer — a line drawing composed of curved loops, drawn around a grid pattern of dots. Residents were also entertained by the performances put up by the Indian band and dancers.
Six nursery students from the Bishan East Dowell Playgroup, all dressed up as bumble bees, put up a cute performance for all the residents. The nursery students also received their graduation certificates from DPM Wong.

About 120 residents woked up on an early Sunday morning and participated in mass singing while young children were engrossed in learning how to make Korean clay art pieces.
Following this, the residents enjoyed a hearty breakfast while watching a magic show performance. The event was an opportunity for residents to enjoy the company of their family and neighbours.
During the event, DPM Wong gave out graduation certificates to six nursery students from Strawberry Playgroup.

Nearly 100 residents participated in the morning exercise as part of keeping a healthy lifestyle. While the elderly residents watched a Tai Chi demonstration, young children tried out the in-line skating and gamely took some tumbles in their brave attempts.
Residents were happy and excited about their up-close-and-personal meetings with DPM Wong during the event.
