YowCH’s T.Y.Lin farewell dinner
On 29 Sept, YowCH colleagues threw a farewell dinner for him and 3 others collegaues (Kenneth, Yiwei and Fidelino) at Indochili, Zion Road. Nice fellowship and great taasting Indonesian food. Grace and Samuel was also at the dinner.
Samuel using chopsticks, Esther’s iPhone7
Here’s Samuel sharing instant noodles with Joseph for breakfast. He is trying to use the chopsticks but has not fully gotten the correct technique and doesn’t have much strength yet. We will continue to train him.
On Wednesday, 21 Sept, Esther got her new phone, an iPhone7 32GB, rose gold. Here’s the new phone, in a black Spigen case. She bought it partially with her own savings.
Here’s the phone, taking a dip in the swimming pool, it is waterproof.
Swim float board
We borrowed the float board from the coach and had some fun on it after the swimming lessons.
Samuel has VERY good balance standing on the float board!
Soccer at SportsHub Stadium
On 17 Sep 2016, Saturday, we attended the PA Sports event at Sports Hub under West Coast Wolves. We arrived early and roamed the new National Stadium and had breakfast before we played football.
But the soccer pitches (8) were very small because there was a Zumba event taking up more than half the field.
Samuel happily joined the team in their warm-up session.
Here’s a view of the stadium from our seating area.
There were also some fun-items for children like a bouncing castle.
Here are some action shots of David and Joseph.
Mid-autumn fun
Here are some mid-autumn fun photos.
We bought piglets for Joseph and Samuel. Samuel started with biting off the nose…
We also bought a balloon lantern for Samuel (Thomas the Train). The wire broke after 1 night.
Traditional candle lanterns are still the best:
4 Children, but 5 lanterns.
Odyssey mods
The Odyssey doesn’t have many compartments to store small items. We added a small pouch betweent eh driver’s seat and the door for some stationery, tools and knick-knacks. We also bought a new and longer sunscreen, and nice plain steering wheel cover. The key fob original leather case is rather bulky, YowCH sew a simple alternative.
Thanks to the Ngs, we have a narrower and lighter child seat for Samuel. With this model, the middle seat of the third row is able to accommodate a small-sized person, giving us full 7-seats capacity.
The front built-in car camera (parking aid) is fully exposed in the front to road grit. For long distance travel, small stones are likely to scratch the camera. YowCH made a plastic shield for it, which we will apply when we drive long distance on the North-south Highway.
Lastly, we bought some fitted car window shades as the V-kool tinting by Kah Motor is rather light. The set comes with 7 pieces, rear windscreen, third-row windows, back-door windows and front windows. We do not need the back-door shades as the Odyssey comes with retractable shades. With some minor mods to fit better, the rear windscreen and third-row shades are mounted, unlikely to be taken down. The front will be useful for long afternoon drives.
A note on shades and curtains from LTA, referring to From Onemotoring site:
The following requirements must be met when installing sunshades:
a) No part of the sunshades shall be affixed:
• more than 6 inches (150mm) from the top edge of the front windscreen.
• more than 4 inches (100mm) from the top edge of the rear windscreen and side windows.
b) Graphics and words shall not appear in any way pornographic, obscene or vulgar. They also must not be seditious or affront any religious belief.Curtains can be fitted on the passenger windows of a vehicle as long as the curtains are not drawn while the vehicle is in motion and/or obstruct the view of the driver.
Odyssey at 1000km
In 2 full weeks, the Odyssey was driven 1000km. We sent it to Kah for servicing this morning. Everything was fine, changed to Shell Helix Ultra lub.
We also paid an extra $266 for 3M body paint sealant to keep the car glossy and smooth longer.
