Joseph learning to cycle and soccer tournament

YowCH started training Joseph in his cycling after a few months of break, learning to balance now:

Here is our favourite “O” at Block 38:

We got some new pets from Ezra, mealworms and beetles.

On Sunday, West Coast Junior Team participated in the People’s Association Soccer Carnival at Jalan Besar, starting at 8:00am (we arrived slightly late at 8:15am):

This is the younger team:

David played well (goalkeeper and striker):

Joseph was on defence:

YowCH was coaching the younger team:

This is the team photo (many could not attend the Sunday morning event):

The carnival ends at 2:30pm, but we left early to attend swimming class at 12:15 at Delta.

Samuel sitting (supported)

Samuel is now able to sit for a long time, with some support from the seat. Grace got him the foam baby seat and he is OK to be in it.

Samuel’s first swim, swim lessons for children

Today we went for a swim, Samuel’s first swim!

The underwater dip!

It was very hot!

You can refer here for Joseph’s first swim.

Actually, we went to the pool to attend swimming lessons for Esther, David and Joseph, starting today on every Sunday from 11:30 to 12:30. We got to the pool earlier at 11:00 to play first.

Esther is able to swim breast-stroke, so she started on free-style. David picked up the last bits of breast-stroke and at the end of the lesson, he can swim already (having learnt the basics a few year ago). Joseph is just starting off, but doing well as he was obedient and serious about swimming.

Some other photos of Samuel:
This is YowCH playing the guitar, while carrying Samuel!

And this is Samuel, able to lift his head already.

Samuel is now able to smile and laugh.

IKEA Stuva Cabinets completed

We bought the last two sets of doors for the new cabinets in the boys’ room after work and the minions assembled the doors. Joseph helped mount the brackets to the cabinet frame using the power screw-driver.

Now the cabinets are finally completed.

Samuel’s first day at school

We thank God that the childcare centre has a place for Samuel. The queue was rather long when Samuel was born in Oct 2013 (about 20+ waiting) but due to those dropping out from the queue and some infants being promoted, Samuel joins Learning Vision on 10 Feb 2014.

This is his locker (highest level!) and his bed (nearest to the door).

Joseph was very helpful in carrying bags of stuff to the centre.

Esther’s cupboard tattoo, beef noodles, new soccer jersey

This is Joseph taking care of Samuel on Saturday (Grace worked morning half-day, and Esther and David were in Chinese class).

And Esther had her cupboard doors applied with tattoos (bought in Malaysia over CNY), before and after:

Details:

We had Hock Lam beef noodles with the Tans at ARC for dinner after Church.

On Sunday, the boys wore the new soccer jerseys for training at West Coast Park. Had a small shower just at the end of the session at 6:00pm but the lasted only 5 minutes. Singapore experience no significant rain for the past 1 month, the grass is now dried and yellow.

Details of the jerseys (brand: Errea):

Isis aircon repaired, bought replacement filters

The Isis aircon was really down. YowCH sent the car for assessment at Tomika (Alexandra Village, Bukit Merah) on 5 Feb and Mr Lee, the boss, checked that all the gas recently topped up is gone! Given that the cabin temperature is hot, it would be the evaporator (coils) leaking, which needs 5 hours to repair. Quoted $480 before GST.

Today, YowCH sent the car in at 9:00am and got it back at 12:30pm (3.5hours only).

The coils were replaced, here is the leaking coils taken out.

Tomika also changed to a new cabin filter, and topped-up the aircon gas and compressor oil. All for $430 before GST. Aircon is now as good as before. Tomika is quite known to be reasonable and honest, and they are official suppliers of OEM Denso parts.
