David is now 13, glass coating for the Odyssey, Korea trip

David turned 13 on 24 March. We got him a Molten GG7x Composite Leather outdoors basketball and had Korean food dinner with the family at The Gogi (Alexandra Central) on Saturday evening.

The Odyssey had been covered by a tough layer of dust sometime early March that wasn’t easy to wash off, so YowCH sent it back to Honda for the Threebond Glass coating on 28 March, which includes washing and polishing. With a 20% discount, the deal was good as we a about $540 to get rid of the sticky dust, got the car polished, cleaned the interiors and protected the paintwork with the glossy glass coating.

We had a 9-day holiday in Korea from 11 to 19 March, but we have not finished processing the photos. Here is a teaser photo and our trip map.

CNY 15th day dinner with Grace’s parents and Gene

Today is the 15th day of the Chinese New Year, and Grace’s mum made a great dinner!

That’s a we-fie before food.

And here we go messing-up again.

Some of our interesting fusion of East and West.

At the end of dinner, we took a nice set of family photos.

Another liquor, CNY dinner with KTP Infra/Geo teams

Another nice and colourful mix, Campari at the bottom, Blue Curacao in the middle and Rum at the top. Goes well with bitter-sour grapefruit.

On 8 Feb 2017, YowCH booked a dinner for the KTP Infra and Geo teams to celebrate CNY at Tunglok Signature, Vivocity. Te food was great, and the fellowship even greater.



Beacon CG CNY dinner

We celebrated CNY with our Care Group friends, the Beacon CG people, together with eFG at the Ngs’ place on Friday night 3 Feb 2017. Lots of nice food.


We supplied the drinks.

We had yu-sheng, too.


It was also Jonah’s birthday!

We had a nice evening of fellowship.

Food, drums and Esther doing homework

We had some great food over the week:
Bukang Korean BBQ at Anchorpoint:

Penang food at West Coast Road (near West Coast CC):

Frozen durian paste through the Yonanas:

On 17 Jan, we picked up another set of Yamaha DTXplorer digital drum set, which is the same model as ours, for $250. We added the sound module and some pads to our set. We now have 4 (instead of 2) cymbals, 4 (instead of 3) tom-toms and one additional effects pad (we assigned the gong). Much richer in drum choices, and feels more pro.

Here’s a random shot of Esther doing her homework, with laptop support.

Last look of TYL, KTP office moved in, liquors

YowCH moved into the KTP new office space in the first week of January, and by 10 Jan, he was fully settled in.


Here’s a last look at his TYL office.

And we had some fun with liquors at home. This is a layered drink with strong taste, using Campari, Jaegermeister and Tequila.

And here’s eating longans with vodka.
