Trip to Kuching and longhouse homestay
We had a short school break due to exam paper marking for PSLE, and took the opportunity to travel to Kuching, Sarawak, East Malaysia. We left Singapore on 14 Oct 2012 and returned on 18 Oct 2012 by Tiger Air. In the 5 days, we toured Kuching (good food, sight-seeing), Damai (Sarawak Cultural Village) and (the highlight) Kampung Annah Rais, a Bidayuh longhouse (homestay, hiking, river rafting, waterfall).

Cycling, soccer match and golf
On Saturday, 6 Oct, while Grace was at work on afternoon shift, we went cycling at the MOE carpark near our house. Esther and David practiced cycling with one hand, weaving in-and-out and making very tight turns at high speed. YowCH practiced jumping the kerb.
On Sunday, David played futsal soccer competition at Hougang from 8:00am to 2:00pm. The rest of us attended church for Children’s Day event, then went to the stadium to join David. The Lims brought him to Hougang after he spent a night at their place.
Trophies were given to every child as encouragement, but the truth is, the Jaguars did not do well.
Today, 8 Oct, YowCH went to Marina Bay driving range with his colleagues to practice golf swings. This is the second round, the first was last Tuesday.
Trip to the zoo without YowCH
Today is children’s day and YowCH had to work. So the children went to the Zoo with Grace. We arrived at 8:00am by car (YowCH dropped the family off) and left by cab at 6:50pm.
Grace’s bike
Grace bought a mountain bike, a GT Aggressor 24″ (girl) second hand for $150.00 through e-bay. We drove to Jurong West to pick it up from a nice gentleman, and the bike was his daughter’s. Rather good value considering the good condition, but we need to get a kick-stand, mirror, lights, bell and perhaps a speedometer. The bike is pink! It is shorter than YowCH’s bike and Grace is pleased with the height.
The gear shift is by Gripshift (not trigger) and the seat is a comfort wide seat, not a standard MTB type.
Here you see Grace riding it and now we have 5 bikes in the house.
For reference, you can see YowCH’s GT Aggressor 26″ here.
