South-west junior soccer league – game 1

Today, the boys played in the first game of the Junior League. Here is the team, all in the uniform!

This is the new jersey in detail. The West Coast Wolves name and logo were YowCH’s ideas.

West Cost Wolves are the hosts for this round, and we played at Kent Ridge Secondary School. YowCH was in charge of crowd control and first-aid. The weather was very hot!

Here is YowCH washing his hands after treating a case of a player having bleeding nose after being knocked on the face. The inset of the photo shows the red bag, which YowCH painted the White Cross and wrote FIRST-AID. YowCH treated 4 cases (kicked at the shin, kicked at the ankle, spectacles pad-arm pushed into nose bridge skin, and bleeding nose).

Here are some photos of David.



David sprained his left wrist, and therefore in bandage with splint (the splint is a wrist-guard for in-line skates).
And some of Joseph.



Joseph scored one goal, even when he is playing the under-9 age group (he should be playing under-7, but there wasn’t enough players for under-9).

Both David and Joseph did well this Sunday!

Tomorrow is Malaysia’s anniversary of Merdeka! May God bless Malaysia with leaders who are clean (bersih).

Samuel new uniform, David injured, YowCH played futsal for TYLin

Grace got Samuel new school uniforms and T-shirts. He looks so smart! The clothes are very large for hi, but hey are already of the smallest available size.

While David was playing basketball ins school, he fell and sprained his left wrist quite badly. That’s bandage wrapped by YowCH.

In the evening, TYLin took part in the inter-consultants futsal competition organised by L&S. The team played well, but we were just not strong or skilled enough, and didn’t win any of the top positions.

Here are two photos of YowCH in action during the gaems.

And these are photos of the team and the supportive colleagues, taken before and after the games.

Grace and the children were there to support YowCH. The photos were taken by Esther.

Isis front tyres swop

The car tyres will be changed by next month, the general wearing and age is about right at 48,000km and 2+years. But the front left has worn more than the front right.

So YowCH took the opportunity get the girls to swop the tyres manually, using the spare donut (undersized) as temporary support.


As the lug-nuts were rather tight, YowCH did the release and tightening of the nuts.

Above is the donut standing in temporarily. This tyre cannot be used for the front when the car is driven.

Successfully done in about 40 minutes.

Mid-August weekend

On Saturday, after sending Esther to Church for worship leading practice (she plays the guitar), YowCH took the boys to West Coast park for playground fun:

That’s the boys resting on the bouncy wave bridge.

Samuel gets zip-line with David’s help.

David climbed the high tower.

And Joseph climbed the smaller one.

We met Oliver there, with Anya and Timothy. Kelly brought Sarah along for shopping.

At home on Sunday, after the usual swim, football and ballet, Esther practiced piano for upcoming exam.

SG50 Lego, Joseph as page-boy again

Last week, before the Singapore 50th National Day, our school-going children each received one set of the SG50 Lego set. There are three possible designs (although only enough parts to build one at a time) within each box. With 3 children, we got three sets and we can pose for this photo.

Today is the wedding day of Saw and Grace (church friends). Joseph served as the page-boy, leading the procession with the Bible.

Joseph did very well, and walked-in very nicely.

Trip to the zoo

With the long weekend for Singapore’s 50th National Day celebrations, we went to the zoo.

TYLin soccer jersey

YowCH received the TYLin soccer team jersey yesterday.

It’ll probably blind the opponents!

Weekend update

On Tuesday night, Joseph skipped Chinese class to attend Grace Hnin’s (church staff) wedding rehearsal. He is the page boy responsible to bring in the Bible. The second page boy carries the ring.

David went for Chinese class while the rest of the family helped with the rehearsal.

On Sunday morning, YowCH ran 4.0km in 23’50″, just to keep up the running practice. Then we went swimming. The children had great fun in the shallow pool (0.9m) before lessons:

In the mean time, Grace did her regular 10 laps (500m).

Then, after the exercise swims, YowCH and Grace took Samuel to the baby pool to play while the older children had their lessons.

In the afternoon, the boys had soccer. David played a friendly match against ACS Barker Road. Joseph had regular training conducted by YowCH.

For dinner, we had Taiwanese style beef noodles at Le Niu (樂牛), Vivocity. This mid-priced ‘fast-food’ is under the Paradise group.

After dinner, we went shopping for some gloves and long sleeve T-shirts for our upcoming trip.

Monday night durians

We bought some durians from the neighbourhood stall, and Samuel had a great time eating. We bought 5 medium-sized durians for $20, and they are rather ripe, that’s why they are cheap.


This photo is taken by the non-durian-eater, David:

And when the children have eaten, YowCH and Grace had romantic eating-durian-on-the-floor.

We had dinner before this and we ate about 40% keeping the rest for some other day.

Weekend update – play, eat, run, swim.

For the long Hari Raya Aidil Fitri weekend, we started with some playground fun at Tiong Bahru Park (with the crooked train).





Followed by lunch at Vivocity Swenson’s.


We also got ourselves the Sg50 Cable Car Lego at Toys R Us.

Saturday was spent in J-cube and Big box (as YowCH had a meeting with JTC at The Summit), followed by Church and dinner with Grace’s parents, sister and 4th aunty at Thai Express, west Coast Plaza.

Sunday started with YowCH and Esther going for a run. YowCH did 4.0km and Esther did 2.5km. Here’s YowCh’s 4 runs in July 2015, starting again after the 10km RealRun in Sentosa back in May 2015.

Then we went for our swim. Samuel loves the water now, playing happily in the pool and underwater.



We can even touch fingers inside the water!

After the swim, Esther went for ballet while we went shopping at Raffles City. The boys had no soccer training this week for the Hari Raya holiday. Our dinner was Vietnamese food at Nam Nam, basement of Raffles City.
