YowCH & Grace

Esther and David started taking swimming lessons, being the school holidays now. The teacher is Jeffrey from Happy Fish and the lessons are conducted on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, 9:00am to 10:00am at Delta Swimming Complex (near our home, just a very short bus ride away).

Joseph (and family) had dinner with Yan and PQ at Lao Beijing, Novena Square for his 1st birthday. He’s happily holding on to the red-pack that he received as present.

We’ll be going back to Pontian coming Monday and Tuesday to visit Grace’s grandma, together with Grace’s parents. Before that, on Monday morning, Joseph will join E&D for a swim.

Praise the Lord, Joseph is 1-year-old today. He is really smiley and bubbly, and started liking to play rough with David and YowCH. Another favourite of his is hide-and-seek.

He has not started standing on his own yet, and prefers to crawl than to walk or cruise. He is also consistent in using some ‘words’ now. In the car, he sits in his baby-seat very nicely, often ‘talking’ to others in the car.

Joseph was dedicated to the LORD on Sunday, 8 Nov 2009 in church by Elder Andrew Chua. This is a photo of the family before service (thanks to Paul for helping take the photo):

Here’s a photo of the Ngs with Daniel and the Yows with Joseph.

And this is when we, the parents, pledge to bring up Joseph in Godly manner.

We have also started putting together a new PC last Sunday, 1 Nov 2009, in hope that the existing WinXP SP3 and installed software can just be run on the new platform. However, after struggling with Windows, drivers and software problems for 1 week, we moved onwards from WinXP and bought the newly released Windows7 and started a new installation on Saturday 7 Nov 2009, finally completed this morning (past midnight). There are still many software that must be installed to make the system fully workable. Total cost for new casing, power supply, mainboard, processor, 2GB RAM (we would probably up this to 4GB), 2 x 250GB harddrive, video card with DVI, VGA and HDMI, keyboard, mouse, 23″ full HD Samsung LCD monitor, web-cam and Windows7 Home is about $1300.

[ADDED 15 Nov 2009]
We added another 2GB of RAM and a new mic, the whole PC now $1400.

Since getting the car half a year ago, we gave the Isis a good soap and then a wax yesterday (Saturday) at Moh Guan. Really tiring.

And then it rained heavily.
