Chili crab and lunch with eCG folks

We bought some crabs from Sheng Siong on Saturday and prepared chili crabs on Sunday morning for lunch with eCG folks at the Wees’ place.

Esther helped kill the crabs (only 2 were still alive after 1 night), and David helped with the washing.


We made the sauce with tomato ketchup, sambal chili, soya sauce, salt, sugar, garlic, ginger and gin.

We made two versions, 2 carbs with less chili for the children and 4 crabs with strong chili.

We arrived at the Wees’ place a bit early and had some fun time in the pool.

Then the BBQ started. We also had some durians from Chatsworth!

We had lots of food, including chicken, salad, potatoes, corn, cauliflower, bread, sausages, ham, steak, dessert and fruits with wine and beer.





We thank God for a great time of fellowship and food on a rainy afternoon.

Mid-winter and Christmas

Friday, 22 Dec, was mid-winter (冬节). We had a simple dinner at Xin Wang, Anchorpoint where we also ordered starch-balls (汤圆).

On Sunday evening, Christmas Eve, we had dinner at home with Grace’s parents and sister. Nice meaty grill!


And after dinner, we had a great time playing Christmas songs for a sing-along! Click on the photo below to connect to the Facebook video of “We wish you a Marry Christmas”.

On Christmas day, we went for the earlier Christmas service in church. Then we took Grace’s parents out for lunch at Westgate, as Esther and David had lunch with friends in church. We bought a Transformer for Samuel:

When we got home, we opened of Christmas presents.

For dinner, we had Korean hotpot at The Gogi, Alexandra Centre. The main hotpot was fish-roe soup.

After the nice dinner, we went downstairs to Alibabar for beer, truffle fries and fired onion rings.

The red bottle is non-alcoholic beer.

Esther and David attending Church Youth Camp from 11 until 15 Dec. During the week-long program, they had good time learning about God and bonding with their church friends.


Esther was in the Camp Organizing Committee.

For the week where Esther and David were in church, Joseph stayed over at Sorrento. Joseph had a good time baking cakes, bread and cookies with grandma.

On 17 Dec 2017, Sunday, we went to watch Star Wars VIII, courtesy of our Prudential insurance agent, at Vivocity. Very complex story, and nice effects.



After the camp, Esther and her friend Rebecca, baked some cookies for their church Disciple Group friends at Grace’s mom’s kitchen.

YowCH have been travelling weekly on Mondays to KL for meeting on the Tugu project for the month of Dec. Tiring and time consuming, but a challenging and exciting civil engineering project 1n homeland.
