Esther singing and back to ballet, starting in-line skates

Today Esther sang for the Church 55th Anniversary Dinner promotion in 1st and 2nd English and the Chinese services. It was great, as Enoch and Han Wei were playing the violin very well. The tune was “O sole mio” (Elvis sang it as “It’s now or never”) and the words were written by Hsiao Yen for this promotional song. Very well received by church members.

Grace and YowCH have also been thinking of sending Esther and David for in-line skates training this coming school holidays, with some courses offered with skates and some without. By God’s great timing, Kelvin offered us 3 pairs of old children skates and we took them up at a token price. Esther and David had about 2 hours run on them, and they are able to get around! Looks like we can save the money on the course!

Today, Esther also returns to the ballet class after absence of almost 3 months due to the toe fracture from the cycling accident in August.

Cycling, soccer match and golf

On Saturday, 6 Oct, while Grace was at work on afternoon shift, we went cycling at the MOE carpark near our house. Esther and David practiced cycling with one hand, weaving in-and-out and making very tight turns at high speed. YowCH practiced jumping the kerb.

On Sunday, David played futsal soccer competition at Hougang from 8:00am to 2:00pm. The rest of us attended church for Children’s Day event, then went to the stadium to join David. The Lims brought him to Hougang after he spent a night at their place.

Trophies were given to every child as encouragement, but the truth is, the Jaguars did not do well.

Today, 8 Oct, YowCH went to Marina Bay driving range with his colleagues to practice golf swings. This is the second round, the first was last Tuesday.

Trip to the zoo without YowCH

Today is children’s day and YowCH had to work. So the children went to the Zoo with Grace. We arrived at 8:00am by car (YowCH dropped the family off) and left by cab at 6:50pm.

Here is the page for this zoo trip.

Esther’s injury final update and Grace driving

Esther’s chin is almost all healed now and her toe fracture is cleared by the doctor on 24 Sept.

This shall be the final update on Esther’s bike injury page
.

Grace drove without YowCH on the passenger seat today, and she was on high speed in CTE tunnel (the needle is at 100).

Bicycle full-face helmets

The helmets (XS size) looks very large on the children’s heads, however, the fitting is nice and correct. They can hear, breathe and the helmets are not too heavy, good for off road!

You can see the ugly monster art on YowCH’s helmet (S size), probably that’s why this model is on clearance sale.

Joseph is not having a full-face helmet, he was just trying on, and way too large and loose for him.

Update of Esther’s injury, David’s soccer game cancelled

We updated Esther’s injury page again, noting that the healing of the chin is going very well.

Today, David’s soccer training was to have a friendly match with Bukit Batok Community Club, but cancelled due to rain (only slight drizzle) and lightning risk (not one flash was seen at the field). With the team mostly gathered, YowCH took an informal group photo.

And with the children from both sides sitting on the benches for close to 1.5 hours waiting for clearer skies, the game was finally declared cancelled. They coudn’t hold back anymore and just rushed to the field to play informally until the stadium keeper chased us out for fear of damaging the damp ground.

We bought Joseph a pair of yellow soccer boots yesterday from Queensway, the smallest size we could find that’s not more than $40 (they are Toppers, not expensive brands like Nike, Adidas, Puma or Lotto which are all $55++). He is very comfortable running with them on the field.

Hannah visits, David at soccer training

After church, we had Hannah over at our place, and Esther shared a nice session of shampoo making with her.

After that, David went for the second session of soccer training, this time with his new boots, jersey and shorts. He played quite well.


The girls (Grace, Esther and Hannah) went for a swim at the pool next door during soccer training. They got to use the shampoo they made right after swimming.

Grace’s parents are back from New York

Grace’s parents are back from New York, reached Singapore at 11:30am this morning. After YowCH and David picked them from the airport, we had chicken rice for lunch at home, then we had popiah, Chinese dishes and mooncake for dinner at Lao Beijing, Tiong Bahru Plaza.

Esther is doing much better now, chin and toe are both healing well, and updated in her injury page.

Esther’s check-up

After 1 week, we returned to the Health Promotion Board dental clinic and to KKH for Esther’s check-up.

The two broken teeth are still alive (thank God) and the cast on leg has been removed.
