Weekend updates – super busy
We had a super busy weekend, starting with clearing some stuff and furniture for new cabinets arriving next week.
On Saturday, after lunch at Square2, we bought new in-line skates at Novena Square / Velocity for Esther and David, as the second hand skates were getting small and Esther’s skates actually cracked (plastic was just too old). They are Bladerunner skates, adjustable from sizes 5-8.
David, Esther and Joseph also built their own Mindcraft Biomes with our bits and pieces of Lego.
We had dinner at Star Vista, using mostly vouchers we got in a lucky draw at this shopping centre.
A little update on Samuel, napping at the bouncer with the siblings’ gift, the penguin squeezy.
Then on Sunday, we had carolling practice after lunch, David was playing a drum, Esther the ukulele and YowCH on the electric guitar. On Christmas eve, we will be playing for either National University Hospital or Alexandra Hospital.
Unfortunately, the electric guitar was knocked early in the morning and the neck slightly dislodged, so we bought a new one after the carolling practice. We got a display unit Ibanez Gio GRX140BK for $299 (original price being $499) from Cristofori at Funan Centre.
This is heavier than the now limping Suzuki but plays better and sounds richer. It has 4 pick-ups, but only one tone dial.
The afternoon soccer practice was cut very short with a heavy afternoon pour.
Leaving soccer early, we picked Esther, Grace and Samuel from Funan and had dinner there. Esther got her ballet results, not too bad for Grade 3 getting “Commended”. She had 3 months less practice due to her bicycle fall last year!
After dinner, we drove over to Queensway and got David his basketball shoes (needed as the timber floor at the school hall is very slippery). It is rather difficult to find child-size basketball shoes, but much easier to get soccer boots.
A very busy weekend indeed.
