I tried wood seal carving!

  Hold on to your space seats, because the story time U.F.O. is back at it again, zapping fresh stories straight from the mothership into your inbox! 🛸 If you’ve been following my blog or my ShachemLieuw YouTube channel for a while, you probably already know I’ve been deep-diving into learning Mandarin and exploring more about my Chinese heritage. Well, my latest mission involved signing up for a wood seal carving class, and I liked it so much that I’ve officially decided to purchase a wood seal carving kit and turn this into a permanent hobby! 🧰✍️ Fun plot twist: we didn't actually work with real wood. We got to practice on erasers! But it was still super fun learning all the traditional carving techniques. (For those wondering, the Chinese carving knife used for this is called an intou or bidao —often referred to as an iron pen or a graver!)

Welcome back to another tropical Story Time episode. My life has been hectic, busy, adventurous, and filled with behind-the-scenes drama. But I'm happy to finally wrap up this late Christmas episode. My friends and I visited the Fernandes Christmas caravan at Roeli's Event Venue. From a distance, we could notice the bright Christmas lights. When we arrived on the terrain, it was easy to find a parking spot. The Christmas event hosted by Fernandes Suriname was held over three days. Christmas jingles brought cheer to your ears. The moment you pass security, you can spot Christmas characters walking around. The scent of delicious food was dancing in the air. There were spots where you could buy Fernandes drinks, snacks, and even the popular Surinamese Christmas bread. A must-try foodie item when spending your Christmas holidays in tropical Suriname. There were booths where you could take pictures with Santa or his other North Pole friends. I liked that they had a lot of props where you could take pictures. Their Christmas tree was the highlight of the event. It stood tall, proud, and bright. As the crowd grew larger, performances began to take place on stage. A Grinch musical performance caught my attention. You could also participate in games and win prizes. I wanted to play some of those games, but we had to rush to our next destination. 

I made a vlog of my experience at the Fernandes Carnival in Suriname. Enjoy the video and stay tuned for more Story Time Productions episodes in tropical Suriname.
