YowCH & Grace

The front-left tyre outer-edge has been wearing out heavily, probably due to the multi-storey carpark ramps and YowCH’s hard U-turns. After alignment check by Kenny Car alignment (at Ang Mo Kio), the front wheels were re-cambered to be more “A” rather than “H”.

Third party bolts were installed to allow the tuning of the camber.

The alignment results of the left here has been cambered, but the right has not.

The last photo shows the slightly angled front wheel.

The car has more stability now, especially at cornering and hopefully the wear on the front-left outer-edge reduces.

We bought some durians from the neighbourhood stall, and Samuel had a great time eating. We bought 5 medium-sized durians for $20, and they are rather ripe, that’s why they are cheap.


This photo is taken by the non-durian-eater, David:

And when the children have eaten, YowCH and Grace had romantic eating-durian-on-the-floor.

We had dinner before this and we ate about 40% keeping the rest for some other day.

For the long Hari Raya Aidil Fitri weekend, we started with some playground fun at Tiong Bahru Park (with the crooked train).





Followed by lunch at Vivocity Swenson’s.


We also got ourselves the Sg50 Cable Car Lego at Toys R Us.

Saturday was spent in J-cube and Big box (as YowCH had a meeting with JTC at The Summit), followed by Church and dinner with Grace’s parents, sister and 4th aunty at Thai Express, west Coast Plaza.

Sunday started with YowCH and Esther going for a run. YowCH did 4.0km and Esther did 2.5km. Here’s YowCh’s 4 runs in July 2015, starting again after the 10km RealRun in Sentosa back in May 2015.

Then we went for our swim. Samuel loves the water now, playing happily in the pool and underwater.



We can even touch fingers inside the water!

After the swim, Esther went for ballet while we went shopping at Raffles City. The boys had no soccer training this week for the Hari Raya holiday. Our dinner was Vietnamese food at Nam Nam, basement of Raffles City.

And the slice of birthday cake that Esther bought.

This morning, Esther ran 2.7km, with YowCH who ran 3.5km. Just a little exercise.

David and Joseph joined a group of 25 from West Coast CSC in attending the football clinic at PA HQ today, conducted by German team Borussia Dortmund coaches under the sponsorship of Evonik. We started the session at 9.00am.

The children were given BVB training jersey, shorts and socks.


It was a fun event, but the training was real.


Above is Lars Ricken (retired BVB striker and Germany national player) signing David’s T-shirt. Samuel had lots of fun running about.


The bee is the mascot, Emma. Esther was very helpful in looking after Samuel and taking care of our stuff.


The Evonik manager gave medals and Lars gave certs to the children.


A Q&A session, and we ended at 11.15am.

Each player received lots of BVB freebies: jersey, shorts, socks, Puma training ball, water bottle, medal, cert and sunshades.

Thank God for the good weather.
