Church Youth Camp, Star Wars 8, Esther baking, YowCH working in KL

Esther and David attending Church Youth Camp from 11 until 15 Dec. During the week-long program, they had good time learning about God and bonding with their church friends.


Esther was in the Camp Organizing Committee.

For the week where Esther and David were in church, Joseph stayed over at Sorrento. Joseph had a good time baking cakes, bread and cookies with grandma.

On 17 Dec 2017, Sunday, we went to watch Star Wars VIII, courtesy of our Prudential insurance agent, at Vivocity. Very complex story, and nice effects.



After the camp, Esther and her friend Rebecca, baked some cookies for their church Disciple Group friends at Grace’s mom’s kitchen.

YowCH have been travelling weekly on Mondays to KL for meeting on the Tugu project for the month of Dec. Tiring and time consuming, but a challenging and exciting civil engineering project 1n homeland.

On Wednesday, 22 Nov 2017, Esther’s school choir had a joint performance of about 6 schools at Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre. We all attended with Gene, and also 4 of Esther’s church friends. the performance is titled Singspiration.

That’s Queenstown and Damai combined in the opening Act.

Here’s Esther after the performance, with church friends Kenan, Rebecca, Rihika and Enoch.

Movie night, Joseph in Junior camp, Samuel’s injury during swim

YowCH’s old classmate and business friend invited the family to a movie screening at Kallang on Friday, 17 Nov. We watched Justice League.



After the movie, we realised that the parking is coupon parking (non-gantry) but we received a warning instead of a fine for first time offence in 8.5 years of driving. There is grace in Singapore, too.

On Saturday, Joseph went to church for Junior Camp. This is the day camp for all P1 to P5 (the P4-P5 had leadership training the weekend before in the 2 nights stay-over camp).

Joseph then stayed over in Sorrento and continued the camp on Sunday. we joined him for the camp ending dinner on Sunday night.

We had dinner with the campers, nice home cooked food.

There were performances by the juniors groups, and Joseph’s group did the story of Gideon and his army against the Midianites. Joseph was playing Gideon.

Prize giving! Joseph was selected as the Most Sporty Camper. But his group was one of the 3 groups with consolation prize (out of 6 groups).

Samuel jumped into the pool during swim class today, and hit his chin on the wall. A rather bad cut, but not too serious.

Samuel trying out in-line skates

We started Samuel on in-line skates. He is brave and able to manage on the skates, but needs lots more training to go about on his own. David is a good trainer.


Joseph is able to dribble the basketball and shoot while on skates!

Nike shop had a 30% sale, so Grace and YowCH got new shoes. Now the whole family has Nike running shoes.

Also bought for David (running shoes), Joseph (soccer boots) and Samuel (walking shoes).
