YowCH & Grace

Today is Esther’s 13th birthday. We had a family dinner at Sakae Sushi after church.

David was at Batam last Monday and Tuesday with his school, to teach English to the Batam students. He bought some snacks: fried fish balls and Malay layer cake.

Our drum set is finally complete, Grace managed to get a 2nd hand throne for $30.

We spent the morning at Sungei Buloh Wetlands with YowCH’s colleagues. It was a nice hike. Click on the photos below to the page.

We collected the Hometeam NS RealRun 2015 race packs at Novena Square during lunch time, meeting up with YowCH’s colleague, Geoshua.

YowCH is no. 0980.

As there was no queue, all 24 packs for TYLin (including 1 for Gene), each with T-shirt, bib, radio-tag, and some goodies, were very quickly collected.

In the afternoon, we visited the Salvation Army Thriftshop at Tanglin (near home) and bought ourselves plenty of cheap stuff – bags, umbrella, CDs and DVDs and coffee cups.

For dinner, we went out to collect some second-hand Skylanders and ate at UE Square, Vietnamese Restaurant. This is the second time we ate there, nice food.

Here are the Skylanders, together with the Wii game. All second-hand.

Thursday, first day of CNY, we had lunch at Cedele, Great World City. YowCH had traditional vegetarian meal, and Esther followed suit. The rest ate normally.

After lunch, we shopped a little, then went to Moh Guan for dinner, and that was after our little outing to Labrador Park.

Friday, second day, we went to the zoo from morning to afternoon. Then we visited the Lims for a nice home hot-plate dinner.

On Saturday, we invited YowCH’s colleague Andrew and his family to our place for hotpot and hotplate lunch.



Then we went to church, and after service, we had dinner at “Different Taste” with the Tans and the Ngs.

Esther was leading the juniors table, and David gave thanks for the food.

24 Jan 2015 marks the official ground-breaking of the MRT Mount Pleasant station under YowCH, part of the Thomson-East Coast Line. Works had already begun on site several months ago. The ceremony was shared with Stevens station, which is not under TYLin.

Minister for Transport, Lui Tuck Yew was the guest-of-honour.

Today, Samuel was walking unsupported for quite a good distance. He also enjoys the playground rides.

TYLin’s annual dinner was held at Novotel Liang Court on 12 Dec 2014.

YowCH played in the home band “Ourselves”.

That’s YowCH (guitar, vocals), Mark (keyboard, guitar, vocals), Riyan (guitar, back-up vocals) and Vincent (drums).

We sang “Isabella”, “I Will Survive”, “That Thing You Do”, “Your Body Is A Wonderland” and “Christmas Is All Around”.

After the dinner, we walked to Brewerkz with our Malaysian office colleagues for beer.

YowCH received a Sony SmartWatch 3 in the lucky draw:

Cool stuff, but not really useful.

Last night was TYLin’s movie night again, this time for Penguins (of Madagascar) at Tiong Bahru Plaza. We brought the children (including Samuel).


The movie was OK, not too bad, some laughs and silly jokes. Samuel slept half-way through, but he was never disruptive during the movie. The other three children enjoyed the show.

On Wednesday night, 3 Sep, YowCH played futsal with his colleagues at The ARK Taman Jurong (Fourth Chin Bee Road).


Great fellowship and fun, but YowCH was rather out-of-breath and had back-ache.
