YowCH & Grace

Today, Joseph turns 3!

Two nights ago, Joseph started packing goodies bags for his classmates, 23 of them!

We celebrated his birthday in school with a large strawberry ‘farm’ cake.

Esther and David were there, too, as it is now school holidays.




He shared his goodies bags with his friends:

Later in the evening, YowCH did another round of burgers, this time to share with the Ngs (they are leaving for USA soon).

Only Nate and Hannah ate with us, we packed 3 more for Paul, Alison and Daniel.

The ugly truth about Ramly burger, you realy need to squeeze out the oil as you fry them, this bowl came from 10 patties, and YowCH did not even put any oil into the pan!

After having a round of Ramly burgers last week, Mum made her own pork patties for burgers! It was great (just short of Worcestershire Sauce)!


Here’s a closer look at the patties not egg-wrapped:
Here’s YowCH’s imitation Dagwood Bumstead

It has been almost 10 years since YowCH make burgers (patties are from Ramly, of course, the best burgers), but we had one round of it on 16 Nov. You can see the sumptious spread here:

The chicken burger patties were slowly fried with LP Sauce and with the oil squeezed out as much as possible. Then, an egg with soya sauce and pepper is fried round, to wrap the patty together with some fried onions. Then, the burger was assembled with cucumbers, tomatoes, raw onions, patty in egg, cheese, mayonaise and ketchup. The buns were buttered and grilled.

The family certainly enjoyed the burgers, from young to old:

Here’s the cross section of the burger, bitten and cut:

With Esther and David older now, and appreciating music better, it was time to improve the car speakers at the rear seats. So we added a pair of tweeters last Saturday, 12 Nov (same as those installed in the front more than a year ago).

With the assembly started in early October, the 10 Space Marines are finally done (about 1 month). Here you see the Sergeant, the flamer, the bazooka-guy and 7 regulars all painted to YowCH’s team colours – the Flaming Star Marines.

As a comparison, they were like this at the start:

As Esther can ride a bicycle properly, we bought a new mountain bike for her, lovely to see her going around in a good bike. We also got Joseph a real bicycle with training wheels. He took to it very naturally and had great fun.


David will get his only if he can drop the training wheels for good.

Here, you see David’s first version of the Captain america shield:

With a little help from Grace, the second version is much better.

YowCH’s cousin, Yin Yin and her family (Chee Keong, husband and children Yen Yen and Yu Yu) came to Singapore for a short holiday from 4 to 6 Nov. We met up with them and had lots of fun.

We met on Friday night for dinner at O’Leary’s then a trip on the Singapore Flyer. If wasn’t too crowded so we had the whole capsule to ourselves. It was also Joseph’s first trip on this ferris wheel.

The next day, we met for lunch at Ronnie’s chicken rice at Rumah Tinggi.

Then, we had fun at the Underwater World (which was rather crowded with tourists). The dolphin show is now included and conveniently within the same facility rather than halfway across Sentosa Island.

We then had fun roaming Siloso Beach before going to The Mussel Guy at Vivocity for dinner.




Here at the Yow children:

And this is Siu Hei:

Then, just before leaving Singapore, we had hakka food dinner at Linda’s:
