Today, I went online to research on the sewing patterns that I can use to create a mask. I found the following links with the different type of mask. I printed all of them out to see which one is the easiest and I chose to make the pleated one as it is the simplest one to begin with.

SINGAPORE - I received many enquiries from readers after I wrote about making masks at home with my mother Sheila Khoo, 68, a sewing enthusiast who makes cloth masks to give to friends.

She uses mostly 100 per cent cotton fabric and her mask has a pocket and inner flap to hold the filter - a dried wet wipe. The filter should be changed with every use.

Here is her guide to making a 3D cloth mask.

ITEMS YOU WILL NEED

* DIY mask template 1

* Piece of cardboard to create a cardboard template

* 36cm x 20cm piece of fabric for outer layer of mask (A)

* 2 pieces of 20cm x 12cm fabric for inner layer (B)

* 2 pieces of 19cm x 11cm fabric for inner-layer pocket (C)

* 8cm paper fastener

* 2 pieces of 35cm elastic cloth cord

* Lighter or clear nail polish

* Dried wet wipe (folded into 14.4cm x 10cm)

* Scissors

* Pencil

* Plastic yarn needle or hair pin

* Tacking pins

* Thread

* Sewing machine

METHOD

1. Cut out the mask pattern.

2. Trace its outline on a piece of cardboard. Cut out the template.

3. Draw lines on the template to indicate the fold for the ear-loop seam (2.5cm from the straight edge) and the fold for the inner-layer seam (6cm from the straight edge).

4. Fold fabric A for the outer layer in two, with right sides facing each other.

5. Place the two pieces of fabric B with right sides facing each other.

One of the inventor of Morse Code, Samuel Morse.

# data[].attributes.body
Today I went to research on the origins of morse code. Morse code was named after one of the inventor, Samuel Morse. Before telephones was invented, messages and information was hard to be communicated around. Hence morse code was invented, whereby dots and dashes are used to represent different alphabet and numbers.
When these dots and dashes are put together, it can be deciphered and the message can be brought across.

Usually, morse code is transmitted through the use of sounds; short beep for a dot, long beep for a dash. The flashing of lights can also be used to code a message.

# data[].attributes.body
Today, I searched the web on the Morse Code. I tried to memorise certain alphabet and its corresponding code. I tried by coding my name A-I-D-A-N, which will turn out to be .- .. -.. .- -.

This is a visual way of learning and memorising morse code
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmXsSSHCnsI

In conclusion, I think Morse Code is one of the very noble and useful (at least during the previous world wars) invention. Important messages can be relayed around without the use of physical communication or words. Through the use of sound/light, the message can be brought across as well.

I will research on the real life application and effectiveness of morse code in my next Bowenexplore lesson

I spent approximately 2 hours trying to pick up the 2 difficult techniques of swimming. I almost gave up 1 hour into doing it. However, under the guidance of the Internet, as fast as a I quick learner I am, I managed to master these 2 techniques of swimming. These 2 techniques of swimming are butterfly stroke and froggy stroke. I knew how to swim freestyle and backstroke beforehand. However, I did not know how to swim butterfly and froggy stroke. Now that I finally know, it is just too satisfying!

# data[].attributes.body
This day, I planned on what to bake. After that, I watched some videos on the basic skills needed to bake the perfect cookies. I also learned how to pre Heat the oven .

through this, i learnt something new and realised that just because some people are deaf, or disabled, they do not want to be treated too differently and some may want to be treated the same as others.

Today, I search the web the effectiveness and useful application of Morse Code. The Morse Code have been a huge part of communication in the past few centuries.

The video as attached below, shows the effectiveness of Morse Code as compared to texting on phone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRuRE-Bwk1U

It is evident that even with our modern 21th century technology, these can't beat the old school communication system, the Morse Code.

This video below, shows a US prisoner of was held captive in Vietnam during the Vietnam War. He was forced by the captors to appear on a televised propaganda interview which was broadcast in the United States. While being interviewed and answering their questions, POW Rear Admiral Jeremiah Denton blinked his eyes,  communicated the letters,
T-O-R-T-U-R-E. US intelligence managed to catch that signal and learnt that many POWs was being tortured. Under immense pressure from local officials, Denton managed to recall the Morse Code and successfully passed a vital information to the world.

Learnt more words as well as useful terms and words to use in certain situations, like ordering food, asking for directions, etc.

Also got to know about the grammar in German more, which was confusing because of things like word forms and prepositions

it was also interesting to see many words in German that were very similar to words of the same meaning in English. After some research, I found that both languages share a common ancestor and are both in the "germanic" language family

Continued expanding my vocabulary, and got to know how to talk in more scenarios.

i can now translate sentences from German to English fairly accurately and consistently, given that i know the words used

this is definitely something i will continue working on, and i hope to be able to hold simple conversations by the end of 2022
