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.



Esther and David painting miniatures

We started Esther and David on miniatures painting with some larger models, first, which are horses from the Empire Pistoliers/Outriders set. The horses are less detailed and larger, easier for the beginners.

After assembly before painting:

Here is the completed Boromir by YowCH.

Joseph can wink and more activities at the “O”

Look Joseph can wink:

Refering back to an earlier post on 28 Aug 2011, you can see that the children are very happy with the “O”, ie hole-in-the-wall at Block 38.

Visit Alexandra Canal Park

Last Saturday, while waiting for Grace to finish work at 5:30pm, we went to Alexandra Canal Park for a short walk.


The canal park is part of the Pubic Utilities Board’s efforts to upgrade the waterways and catchment to a fun area, under the Active-Beautiful-Clean program.



The park runs through the Tanglin and River Valley area, plenty of high-end residential condos around.



While it was a hot afternoon, the children had fun walking, running and chasing birds.

Durians

Mum and dad made a short overnight trip to Pontian and returned on 3 Aug with 5 durians (RM12 only) which we ate at dinner.

The children were great helpers in opening them:


And Joseph loves to eat durians:

There’s a bandage around David’s head because he fell down in school on 2 Aug and knocked his head (the wound is at the back).

Clay Angry Birds

Last Thursday night, Esther, David and YowCH had some fun with coloured paper clay, making Angry Birds:

The tiny blue bird at the back was done by YowCH and the front white and blue birds were done very slowly and carefully by Esther. The rest were all put together very quickly by David.

David turned 7

On 23 March, one day before David’s birthday, we had dinner at Live@Teppan, West Coast Plaza to celebrate David’s birthday. Gene, mum and dad were there, too.

This is the look of a boy the day before his seventh birthday:

And the Saturday before, we had dinner with Yan, PQ and Siu Hei at Rubato, Italian Restaurant, near Marymount.

Joseph’s first hiking trip in Macritchie

Today we went for a short hike in Macritchie, Joseph’s first.

The page with lots of photos is here.

David had a fall in school

On 14 Feb, while waiting for YowCH after school, David was running around and fell onto a concrete kerb. Looked bad, but nothing serious. In 3 days, the wound healed.

Photos, Joseph, Siu Hei is one & TYL photo-walk

Just an update in the middle of the month. We had finally printed photos, since Feb 2010! The total for the stack was about $1,100.00!

Here, you see Joseph practicing a new trick, mouth stretching:

We joined Yan and PQ in celebrating Siu Hei’s first birthday last weekend:


Finally, YowCH, Esther and David had a walk this morning with 3 of YowCH’s colleagues at Wessex Estate for some hobby photography:
