Lim Hee Sen and Francis Ow at Borders Book store |
The Origami Demonstration and Display was to start from 3.00 pm and end at 5.00 pm although the placard had displayed the time to be from 5.00 pm.
I was at Borders by 1.00 pm with both my kids who express interest in following my origami activities. I was supposed to meet Yew Meng at 2.00 pm at the origami books section. As I was browsing around, Albert Sng came. Later Francis came and finally Yew Meng and Ronald Koh.
A stand was set up at the History section. Two tables was set up for both our demonstration and display.
I brought a bag of models folded from various books to be given to Borders. These are from books I owned.

There were more origami books at the origami section of Borders Book Store. |
Francis also gave Borders quite a number of modular models from another book, Modular Origami Polyhedra by Bennett Arstein and Lewis Simon.
Visitors come and the usual
"oohs" and "aahs" were there. Whenever they ask about a certain model on
display, we would point to the book from which the instructions for folding
could be obtained.

My two kids. The back of Yew Meng can
be seen here too.
My son taught a lady how to fold the traditional
crane and she bought the book, "A thousand crane"

We ended the session with
Ronald teaching us, myself, Albert and Teik Seong (who came later) how
to fold a Tomoko's mask.
