2 weddings in 2 countries, Joseph using chopsticks

We had two weddings in 2 countries on Saturday, 14 Sept.

Lunch at Sheraton from 1:00pm to 4:00pm for Pearly’s wedding (Grace’s ex-colleague and good friend).

At this wedding, we started teaching Joseph chopsticks. And a surprising event happened, David’s glass just cracked on the edge while he was drinking! haha.

After the lunch, we drove to Pontian straight, but was caught in the check-point jam spending 30 mins on Singapore side and 90 mins on Malaysia side. We reached Pontian at 7:15 and had to join the Pontian local jam for another 20 mins, reaching the restaurant at 7:40pm. Thank God, we were safe, and the ‘valet’ gave us the space in front of the restaurant next to the wedding car.

This is the wedding of Grace’s cousin (youngest daughter of her eldest uncle).

The food was fantastic. After dinner, we sat at 4th Aunty’s house for a while, left Pontian at 11:00pm driving in convoy with mum and dad, and reached home at 12:15am.

Here, you can see Joseph having mastered the chopsticks, picking up peas! Now he needs to work on strength.

New coaches for soccer

Last Sunday, the team’s two new coaches started. The coach in red T-shirt is Mr Yasni and the older one in blue cap is Mr Hatta (Yasni’s father). Both are qualified professional coaches, and runs the training very well, with discipline and control.

After 1 hour of training, the children played friendly games where each player must stop the ball and then kick it onwards. They can’t dribble at all. The 4 teams each has big and small children, and Joseph was in the same team as David. Both played actively and well.

Mid-autumn is coming – piggy baskets

Mid-autumn is certainly coming, with mooncakes being sold everywhere!

Here are the children with very authentic piggy baskets from Kei Wah “奇華” from Hong Kong.

David is NOT smiling, he had his tooth plucked this very afternoon at the school dentist.

The baskets are woven from rattan strips!

Soccer friendly matches

Today, David and Joseph played in friendly matches against Bukit Batok East View and Ayer Rajah. Here they were briefed and were getting ready.

The coaches met for game arrangements, rules and other arrangements.

Here are the teams (green = BB East View, orange = Ayer Rajah):

David played goal keeper very well (although he still let in a few goals) and Joseph was mostly just standing there.

Joseph’s second tooth extraction

Today, Joseph had eye check-up and then dental again. Eye check-up shows that his sight is fine.

At NUH, he ran straight to the dentist’s room. But today’s extraction wasn’t so smooth as the tooth was rather decayed and there was damage to the nerve (very painful) and Joseph cried a little. But he sat still throughout and the tooth was extracted. Another 2 teeth were patched. He had chicken porridge with raw fish for lunch right after the extraction.

This is the X-ray which was shot about 1 month ago in the first appointment, photo taken off the computer screen.

Weekend: terrapin light, crepes, soccer, Ngs visit

Firstly, we got a rather necessary UV-A light for the terrapins, $50.00 for $3.00 animals:

To make it complete, we need UV-B, too, and we are still looking. Not exactly low maintenance pets.

On Saturday, we had crepes at Out-of-the-Pan at Raffles City. We remembered having crepes with Esther when she was an infant, and went there for a very late 3:00pm lunch.

Back to soccer training on Sunday afternoons after the school holidays break which was also affected by the haze. David is wearing his new boots bought in PJ.

Nate joined us, too.

Joseph was ok during training, but went ‘tired’ during the last 30 minutes of friendly match.

YowCH was wearing his new boots, too, from PJ cheap sale.

In the evening, the Ngs came over and we had pizza (thanks, Alison) and watched Astro-Boy.

Joseph rejoins soccer training

After about half a year of not having soccer training, Joseph rejoined the soccer training today. We got him new long socks, shin guards and a new size 4 field ball.

He left previously because he was really too young to follow instructions, got distracted easily and rather disruptive to the session. Now, with threats of sending him for ballet classes instead, he agreed to behave well and participate actively. Today’s training went rather well with Joseph.
