Orchid Garden and lunch with YowcH’s parents and sisters

We visited the Orchid Garden within the Singapore Botanic Garden on 28 July 2012. Photos are here.

On Sunday, we had lunch at Tung Lok Signatures, Vivocity with YowCH’s parents and sisters.

Grace drove to work

Grace drove to work this morning, taking the CTE (Central Expressway), reaching 90km/h, with minimal verbal guidance from YowCH. Cool.

Grace driving on public roads

Grace is now driving on public roads, with some verbal guidance by YowCH. She drove the family to dinner, parked at public carpark, then drove the family back and parked at the multi-storey carpark. She managed to reach 60km/h on a straight stretch and control was well.

Grace’s birthday at eFG

We celebrated Grace’s birthday with eFG at the Leong’s place. This evening is also the last eFG sesion that Samuel and Hwee Leng will be with us, as they depart for Melbourne in a few days. Another good holiday excuse.

Grace drove a little

Grace drove around the carpark for a while today and did some parking. Certainly needs more training after 20 years of not driving. The red triangles for new drivers are up on the car again.

Grace can drive in Singapore

Grace has gotten her Singapore driving licence, can drive in Singapore from now on.

David face painted

Gan Eng Seng Primary School had a Fiesta on 30 June 2012. David got his face painted and so did his best friend, Seva.

Grace passed driving theory

Grace took her Singapore driving basic theory test this evening and passed (50 correct out of 50 questions!).

Next step, to convert the Malaysian driving licence into the Singapore licence during office hours.

Parents and Yongs, durians

The Yongs joined us for lunch and dinner today, as we will be sending parents to take the night train back to PJ later tonight.

We also had some durians.

Parents in S’pore, mum’s tablet and iPods

YowCH’s parents came over to Singapore with the drive back after Church Camp, and helped look after Esther and David during school holidays. We had great home-cooked lunches and dinners.

YowCH and his sisters gave mum an Acer Iconia A100 tablet for Skype and portable shows, and mum is seriously enjoying the freedom of mobile entertainment.

We now have 4 iPods, 1 unit of the latest 4th gen and 3 units of the 3rd gen, one each for Grace and the children.
