YowCH’s bike, cycling at Bishan Park, dinner with Yongs

Yesterday, YowCH bought a GT mountain bike, black. Nothing too great, but certainly better than rental bikes.

We had some fun biking around the Rumah Tinggi neighbourhood.

Here’s how the three bikes were loaded onto the car bike rack:

Then we drove over to Bishan Park to cycle about and to meet the Yongs.


For dinner, the Yongs treated us to a nice Western meal at Cornerstone, Bishan Park. It was meant for David’s birthday.




The strain of the three bikes on the Isis spoiler was just too high, the 3M tape couldn’t hold it down and peeled.

However, upon taking the three bikes out, the spoiler recovered. Thank God!

Here’s how the bikes are parked at home (just outside our flat, at the garbage chute area).

Updated 6 April 2012: our neighbour advised to remove all removable things and to chain the bikes securely as theft is rampant, which we duly did so. The bike seat, lights, pump and tool kit is now in the house. They even gave us an additional chain! Really nice guys.

David’s birthday cake at home

We had a small celebration at home on 25 Mar 2012 for David’s birthday (24 actual day) with a small Angrybird cake.

You can see that the largest portion is for David.

Cycling at ECP with eFG for David’s BD

Today is David’s birthday, he is now 8.

We went to East Coast Park with eFG for a morning of cycling fun. We met up with families of Quincy, Samuel Lim, Alvin, Hong Kian and Rachel. David invited along his best friend, Seva. You can’t miss Seva, he is blond (Ukrainian).


After a while of cycling, we had a break at Carl’s Junior.


But Grace, Joseph, David and Seva was not with the group, they were at base camp near Raintree Cove. David was playing with Seva at the breakwater.

Joseph was very keen on cycling, too.

This is the ‘car’ that the ‘baby’ gang drove, what the older children call the ‘green snail’.

After cycling, we had lunch with Seva and his dad at Burger King.

We thank God for good weather and fun time with friends. David received some presents from Seva (the bag and bottle resembles that which Seva is using).

Children cycling

Today, the children went cycling around the neighbourhood.

Joseph went quite fast.

Esther and David learned to cross drains, jump kerbs and Esther could actually cycle along on the kerb for about 8m!

Then we went off to get a drink at Ronnie’s chicken rice shop.

PJ trip for Loon and Daren’s wedding

We drove to PJ on 10 March 2012 for the wedding of Daren and Khoy Loon (YowCH’s youngest sister) on 11 March.

Sending parents to airport

Mum and dad will be joining Gene in New York for a few months, so we sent them off to the airport last night. We had a little supper at KFC, but Joseph was already asleep by 11:00pm.



Weekend activities and meeting YowCH’s cousins

Last weekend, Esther and David worked together and finished the Lego Medieval Castle set.

They had fun cycling around the neighbourhood, too.

Joseph was also able to put together the Lego wizard set (meant for 5 years plus) with very minimal guidance.

Today, we met up with Wei Yeu and Wei Lian for dinner, then visited Yan’s family. Wei Lian, based in Taiwan, is in town for Medical conference.

Joseph Pororo

This is Joseph dressing up as Pororo. He wore the police helmet and declared, “I’m Pororo.” Grace said Pororo wears goggles and Esther found the goggles for Joseph.

Bike rack for the car

YowCH bought a bike rack from Bike Connection, a simple Bell tripleback. This rack holds up to 3 bikes.

The children were really excited as we can now drive the bikes to cycling places like East Coast Park.
