We hiked at Macritchie this morning while Grace was at work, covering 6.5km.

Esther’s birthday in PJ
We celebrated Esther’s birthday in PJ on 3 June 2012, just prior to leaving for Church Camp.
Esther’s grandparents, aunty Loon and cousin aunty Yin were with her in this small party.
Esther in GESPS choir
The GESPS Choir performed in the Singapore Youth Festival very well, and was invited to perform again in the Singapore Conference Hall with 6 other primary school choirs on 22 May 2012 from 7:30pm to 9:00pm. Here are some photos:
That’s Grace doing the video and Joseph enjoying the show. David was in Chinese tuition class.
Here are the 7 choirs combined in the finale.
Children cycling
Today, the children went cycling around the neighbourhood.
Joseph went quite fast.
Esther and David learned to cross drains, jump kerbs and Esther could actually cycle along on the kerb for about 8m!
Then we went off to get a drink at Ronnie’s chicken rice shop.
Weekend activities and meeting YowCH’s cousins
Last weekend, Esther and David worked together and finished the Lego Medieval Castle set.
They had fun cycling around the neighbourhood, too.
Joseph was also able to put together the Lego wizard set (meant for 5 years plus) with very minimal guidance.
Today, we met up with Wei Yeu and Wei Lian for dinner, then visited Yan’s family. Wei Lian, based in Taiwan, is in town for Medical conference.
Catapult
YowCH built a catapult when he was about 10. Using similar materials, Esther and David helped build another one:
The lump of Blutack flies about 1.0m, and given the catapult is about 10cm high, the range is about 10x the height. A real catapult would be about 10ft high, meaning this will throw a decent stone about 150ft. With higher rope tension and a stronger frame (glued instead of lashed with ropes), the range can effectively be 3 times more!
Bikes for Esther and Joseph, David’s shield
As Esther can ride a bicycle properly, we bought a new mountain bike for her, lovely to see her going around in a good bike. We also got Joseph a real bicycle with training wheels. He took to it very naturally and had great fun.
David will get his only if he can drop the training wheels for good.
Here, you see David’s first version of the Captain america shield:
With a little help from Grace, the second version is much better.
Horse done, space marines started
Esther and David finished painting their horse on 8 October:
And YowCH, managed to assemble 10 Space Marines:
Playground fun on Saturday
Look, instead of the “O”, the children are now at the “diamond”:
We had some time at the playground and a little walking around the neighbourhood.
