Grace changed her watch – with second hand
Grace needed a watch with a second hand, and after a bit of searching, the new Step Tracker Baby-G BGS-100RT-1A fits the needs and looks pretty, too. The new watch is on the right in the photo below:
Compared with the older G-shock AW591-4A, this watch is more feminine and lighter.
The strap has a nice pink line and a pink strap holder.
The best part is probably the white light which also lights up the LCD part.
Not too costly, at $151.
YowCH and Grace chilling at Aqua Luna

M’sia General Election 14, David’s iPhone
We watched with great interest the developments of the Malaysian General Elections 14 (2018). By 2:45am on 10 May 2018, it was announced on RTM1 that BN has lost the majority.
Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, the fourth Prime Minister from 1981 to 2003, returned to the PM post as the seventh PM under Pakatan Harapan (the opposition to BN) at 9:30pm on 10 May 2018, as he was sworn into office.
This is the first change of ruling party in all 61 years of Malaysia. Many records were made in Malaysia, including the youngest elected MP at 22, oldest elected PM at 92, ending of longest reign of the ruling party, most states not won by the incumbent ruling party. All-in-all, we thank God for a smooth and organised election and transfer of power.
We also re-contracted David’s line, and he now has a new iPhone 8 with 64GB, and a jelly case with his basketball hero.
Grace’s S9, Samuel swam 8 laps, YowCH’s 44th birthday
Grace re-contracted and is now using the Samsung S9 (Coral Blue). Nice phone, YowCH will likely get this soon.
We went for our regular swim, and Samuel swam 8 laps continuously. That’s 400m.
We also asked our coach to help us take a family portrait underwater.
This is YowCH after 10 laps of freestyle. At 44 today, he looked very tired. So he had a heavy lunch.
Actually, the plate of goodies was shared with the family. This nice roast meat stall is Kay Lee at Henderson Road.
For dinner, we met the Yongs and ate Korean food at Toa Payoh Central.
And to end the birthday night, Grace made a grapefruit soju for YowCH:
