Here are the children playing with the 2 sets of Augmented Reality Star Wars games. We got the second set when YowCH helped Grace’s dad buy another laptop same deal as David’s laptop.

We got some fake BeyBlade from China for Samuel.

Here’s Samuel, having online Chinese tuition.

YowCH has been very regular in his runs.

He got himself a heart rate monitor (mail-order from China) and starting from 07 July, monitors his heart rate as he runs.

The heart rate is very high! Reached 103% of the calculated max heart rate (based on 220 – age)!

Given less traffic in the Covid period, we can get 10km/L and the car can be driven 510km or even further in in tank.

YowCH is very disciplined in his runs, even when it rains (as long as not too heavy with strong winds or lightning).

Our Church sent a pack of goodies and activities to Samuel for Father’s Day.

Grace’s parents came over for dinner on 28 June (with government allowing not more than 5 visitors, better they come than we go). YowCH cooked wonton mee.

After dinner, mom used the Xiaomi hair clipper to cut dad’s hair.

Sunday, 28 June, Samuel watching the worship lead by YowCH (with Esther and Joseph) recorded on 9 June.

On Monday, we collected the masks issued by Temasek. These masks are better than the earlier ones from the government.

Some sports we did in June, David got to play basketball with his friends (limited to 5 persons, though).

YowCH continued his exercises and bought a yoga ball (from Lazada, delivered in 3 days) to do the exercises prescribed by his physio-therapist from the chiropractor.

YowCH was also very regular in his runs. From the calendar, he has been making 3x 2.5km runs weekly, with a 4.0km or 5.0km run on Sundays.


In 6 months, he covered almost the distance of all his runs on 2019.

YowCH bought Xiaomi Air-dots, much cheaper than Apple Airpods, for $28. Works well. Given to Joseph.

20 June, we saw the Church Youth Service worship with Esther playing guitar.

YowCH made a flat tray to put on the stove, this is very useful to temporarily place the cooking utensils like the spade, chopsticks or tongs.

On Monday 22 June, the whole family went out for school and work.

Samuel had some free time at home, he did some craft which YowCH bought from EZbuy or Lazada.

Grace ordered David’s new iPhone SE 2nd Generation and it was delivered to our home.

We recorded another worship session for KFC (Junior Sunday School) on 9 June 2020. Due to urgency, only YowCH, Esther and Joseph, with David recording the video.


A check on the car, we managed to drive 603km on 1 tank of fuel before refueling, about 11.0km/L, in May-June, as the traffic was very light during the Covid-19 Circuit Breaker period. The meter is not too accurate.

Joseph and Samuel received face-shields from school.

YowCH instructed Samuel to read some Chinese, and he just fell asleep shortly after.

Samuel received a care-pack from the school day-care centre (YMCA). Came with Maggi tom-yum.

On Sunday 14 June, Samuel was very enthusiastic in worship.

Second week of June, Samuel’s return to school.

YowCH took part in a Covid-19 research (giving blood sample), and for his efforts, received $70 NTUC vouchers.

He also went to the chiropractic to check on his back pains, and while waiting for his appointment, he had a haircut.

In the afternoon, David worked on another piece of siew yuk.


Sadly, the skin is still not crispy. We need to refine our method further.

YowCH likes to do aluminium sheet craft. Here he made a tray that fits into the oven for baking cookies.

On 2 June, the children went back to school, except Samuel who was on Home-based Learning on the first week of June.


After a long 6 weeks, Bey Blade and other toys for Samuel finally arrived from China on 3 June. Timing wasn’t very good because he had started school from 2 June.

YowCH went back to KTP office to collect some papers, drop in some paper work and noted that the office was still rather empty (most still working from home). The management also install perspex screens on the directors’ tables and meeting rooms.

YowCH also collected the SJ Covid-care pack, with sanitiser and 2 nice masks.

Here’s a photo of Samuel eating watermelon, he loves watermelons.
