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!
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!
Lunch at Colbar, Esther gift to Samuel for BD
On Deepavali, YowCH took the children to Colbar for lunch. Grace was working.
Esther bought a gift for Samuel, for his birthday – a nice Lego set!
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.
Samuel learning piano, home cooking
We started Samuel on piano classes (same place as Esther) on 25 Oct 2018.

Samuel’s 5th birthday
Samuel celebrated his 5th birthday in school with his friends and brothers (Esther was taking her O-levels exam). We got him his favourite cake – strawberries cake.
Many of his classmates were absent, but those who were there had a fun time celebrating and eating cake.
Samuel gave a Lego Walrus to every one of his friends.
Back at home, he had 3 new packs of Lego as presents, 2 from us and 1 from Sze Wee.
Here’s a portrait of the 5-year-old boy.
