Y&G 18th anniversary

We have been married for 18 years on 16 Dec 2018!

A simple lunch at Brinda’s and then a simple dinner at home.

Relaxing stay at The Shorea

We took a 3D2N holiday to The Shorea from Monday, 10 Dec to Wednesday, 12 Dec, without Esther and David who were at the church Youth Camp.

YowCH’s bike fall, Church carols singing at West Coast, Joseph’s Batam trip testimony, soccer in the rain

On Saturday, 1 Dec, YowCH went for his regular run and then continued with 5.00km of cycling within the carpark area. At 4.95km, he had a fall and hurt his knees, left wrist and sprained his neck. Thank God all the injuries are minor. The bike slipped at a turn on rather slippery surface.

In the evening, YowCH and Esther performed as musicians for the church’s carols choir team at West Coast area. It was very tiring but fun.

It was rather boring for the boys waiting for the event to start.

The first part started at 7:10pm and we sang for about 12 minutes, before the Member of Parliament conducted the Christmas Tree lighting ceremony and the Aerobics Cheer-leading performance.


David helped with the video and Grace took photos.



During the break, we had to replace one string on Esther’s Takamine which broke during the first part.

The second part started at about 7:40pm and we played adn sang for another 30 minutes. Esther had a soloist part!


After carol signing, we had a late dinner at Xin Wang, West Coast Plaza.

On Sunday, Joseph shared his testimony with the rest of the Juniors in church during the post-Batam trip party in church. We did not swim this weekend to attend this party.

After the party, we went to Decathlon, Joo Koon to get some sports stuff while heavy rain poured outside. We had sushi lunch at Sushi Express, where every plate is $1.50 and the green tea is free. Total of 40 plates.

After the rain, Joseph and Samuel attended football practice. We saw a nice rainbow, which later grew to a full-arc!


And after the rainbows, it started pouring again!

Joseph’s birthday dinner, HDB loan paid off [edit: until Apr 2019], YowCH’s health check

We did an early birthday dinner for Joseph at Morganfield on Tuesday night as he will be away on a church mission trip this coming weekend.

We had lots of meat!

Our HDB flat loan has been fully paid off! the flat is now fully owned! Well, not that we own it, but we have paid in full the lump sum tenancy.
[CORRECTION: 11 Jan 2019: We are still paying the loan until April 2019]

YowCH went for his health check on 31 Oct and met the doctor for the results on Wednesday. Thank God that all is well (even his blood pressure), but high on cholesterol. Need to reduce fatty food, seafood and other food with high cholesterol. Regular exercises of 2 runs and 1 swim (and football coaching) weekly is certainly helpful.

West Coast Wolves junior league 11 Nov

The West Coast Wolves hosted a soccer league game at Clementi Station, with partnership of Ulu Pandan and Taman Jurong.

It was a great morning, cool air and nice sunlight.

YowCH was doing photography and management of the West Coast teams (Under-6, U-8, U-10 and U-12).


Under-6, with Samuel.

Under-10 with Joseph.

Samuel was totally enjoying himself as a reserve. He didn’t play at all, but watched the games and had snacks.

Joseph played goalkeeper. But the opponents in U-10 were all very strong, his team did not win any of the games!


Samuel’s team won the U-6 group! He is a champion, even though he didn’t play! Actually, there were only 2 U-6 groups and the other group wasn’t very good.

Joseph got a medal for participation.


Lunch was provided, and right after the final U-12 games, the weather turned bad and it started to pour!

West Coast Wolves in CBC, dinner and drink

Our football training was disrupted by heavy rain and lightning, and we moved the team from Kent Ridge Secondary School to Clementi Bible Centre (our church building) for theory lessons.




It was a fruitful afternoon. Thank God for the space.

For dinner, we had Food Panda Western food, and finished with a nice Emperor Soju given by Paul.

YowCH and Grace chilling at Aqua Luna

After YowCH’s QECP night class and Grace’s afternoon duties on Wednesday, they met at Aqua Luna, Park Hotel’s pool-side bar at level 7, for a drink. the children were at home. Grace had a Kronenbourg beer while YowCH had a Havana rum, together with truffle-fries and fried chicken wings.

Swim, West Coast Wolves 2018 uniform, Formula One

We went for our regular Sunday swim, even with Joseph and David completing the Gold standard. Our coach helped us take some nice underwater family shots.

In the afternoon, we received our 2018 West Coast Wolves soccer jerseys. One set for each of the boys!


In the evening, we watched live telecast of the Singapore Formula One while we had pizza.
