Half of the 1,600 plus kids squeezed into the wide-angled photograph for the preliminary round of the annual Straits Times National Spelling Championship held yesterday. Two halls the size of several basketball courts were needed for the competitors, students from 118 primary schools, 9 - 12 year olds turning up as early as 7: 30am to register. A written round this of 50 more or less tortuous words. Thus proceeds the preparation for life in the little red dot on the Equator.
Biscuit and crimson brought smiles across the serried ranks, the journo
reported; frowns and sighs for dearth, bergamot and tulle…. Tangs on Orchard possibly carries the last for the widow-mourning range and the Ice-boxes at Gardens by the Bay housing the herb.
