Esther’s chin is almost all healed now and her toe fracture is cleared by the doctor on 24 Sept.
This shall be the final update on Esther’s bike injury page.
Grace drove without YowCH on the passenger seat today, and she was on high speed in CTE tunnel (the needle is at 100).
Yesterday, Saturday 22 Sept, Grace’s colleagues had a gathering at our home. Everyone brought some food and we had a great time chatting with friends.
This morning, Francis Loo passed an extra set of golf clubs to YowCH for training. While the clubs are of different brands, the set is very much complete with 16 very useful clubs, 1 bag, some balls and even a pair gloves and an umbrella.
In the afternoon, we went for David’s soccer friendly match against several other junior clubs. David is currently down with cough and fever, and played only a very short wile before retiring.
And at night, we watched the Singapore Formula One race on the big screen again.
The helmets (XS size) looks very large on the children’s heads, however, the fitting is nice and correct. They can hear, breathe and the helmets are not too heavy, good for off road!
You can see the ugly monster art on YowCH’s helmet (S size), probably that’s why this model is on clearance sale.
Joseph is not having a full-face helmet, he was just trying on, and way too large and loose for him.
On Sunday, after church, we had lunch at The Pizza Slice, in West Coast Plaza, very nice authentic Italian pizza on rectangular slices.
In the afternoon, David went for soccer training again, and received his official T-shirt.
Joseph went playing with some other boys.
In the evening, we had an earlier Oktoberfest with Yan and family at Brotzeit Vivocity. We enjoyed one large pork-knuckle, a fried platter, a platter of various sausages, a bowl of roasted potatoes and one serving of emperor’s cake, with apple juice, cola and one shot of Schnapps.
We cleared all the food!
We ordered 3 full-face bicycle helmets (as follow up from Esther’s accident), 3 speedometers (on Esther’s wish list from day one of biking) and 3 water bottles with holders from www.ChainReactionCycles.com, a British bicycle company, on 9 Sept. The stuff were dispatched on 11 Sept, and reached on 17 Sept in good condition, very nice!
We updated Esther’s injury page again, noting that the healing of the chin is going very well.
Today, David’s soccer training was to have a friendly match with Bukit Batok Community Club, but cancelled due to rain (only slight drizzle) and lightning risk (not one flash was seen at the field). With the team mostly gathered, YowCH took an informal group photo.
And with the children from both sides sitting on the benches for close to 1.5 hours waiting for clearer skies, the game was finally declared cancelled. They coudn’t hold back anymore and just rushed to the field to play informally until the stadium keeper chased us out for fear of damaging the damp ground.
We bought Joseph a pair of yellow soccer boots yesterday from Queensway, the smallest size we could find that’s not more than $40 (they are Toppers, not expensive brands like Nike, Adidas, Puma or Lotto which are all $55++). He is very comfortable running with them on the field.
After church, we had Hannah over at our place, and Esther shared a nice session of shampoo making with her.
After that, David went for the second session of soccer training, this time with his new boots, jersey and shorts. He played quite well.
The girls (Grace, Esther and Hannah) went for a swim at the pool next door during soccer training. They got to use the shampoo they made right after swimming.
Grace’s parents are back from New York, reached Singapore at 11:30am this morning. After YowCH and David picked them from the airport, we had chicken rice for lunch at home, then we had popiah, Chinese dishes and mooncake for dinner at Lao Beijing, Tiong Bahru Plaza.
Esther is doing much better now, chin and toe are both healing well, and updated in her injury page.
