YowCH & Grace

YowCH had an eye infection started on Tuesday. He saw a doctor on Wednesday and got some medication. But the swelling got quite bad and pushed the eyeball, causing double vision. So he made an eye-patch out of foam card and black elastic band to wear to work.

We needed a replacement workhorse camera (with wide angle and long zoom) after the F500 (bought second hand in March 2014) started showing mechanical and digital problems back in October 2017. With a 50% discount on an old and discontinued model, YowCH bought a new unit of Fujifilm F850 EXR from Harvey Norman for $224.00. They had only white or red, and he chose the former.

This is the Church Youth Weekend, and service is conducted by the youths in church. These are photos from the Saturday service.

Esther was playing in the band for worship.


David did the decorations with his team.

In the evening, we met YowCH’s family in Bishan for dinner.





The Tans and YowCH’s parents came over the Singapore on Friday noon and left on Sunday morning.

On Sunday, Esther and David continued the Youth Weekend service, so they skipped the swim lesson. After swim, we fetched them from Church and had lunch at Handlebar, Gillman Barracks.

We collected a Wii Dance-Dance Revolution 2 box set from Yan, who picked this from her neighbour’s disposals. The set still works fine!

Another new toy, and free!

We bought some Transformers, the Minicons (15) are for Samuel and Joseph to share (but more for Samuel).

Rodimus Prime was on offer, got it for $80.00 instead of $99.00.

This is a 2-figures-in-1. Rodimus Prime is the combination of Hot Rod and the caravan. The Matrix of Leadership is inside the chest of Rodimus Prime.

Last Sunday, we went for swim and celebrated Fathers’ Day with a meaty lunch at Henderson Road Kay Lee.

Soccer training had a small turn-up, due to school holidays. We had some games and also theory lessons by the coach.

Here is David in his Gan Eng Seng School official school team uniforms, for home games and away games. He is officially in the school team now.

As part of the school holidays homework, we made a lantern using recycled materials – large 2L PET bottle, old hangers, ice-cream sticks and butter-paper.


The lantern is great, burns the candle very slowly and well shielded from wind.

Today, YowCH took leave and brought Joseph and Samuel to the Treetop Walk at Macritchie. Click the photo below for more photos in the dedicated page:

After the hike, we drove home to pick Grace and had Rollie Ollie lunch in Star Vista. After lunch, we got a Liho pearly milk tea drink and then went to Teo Heng Karaoke for some singing fun:



After karaoke, we shopped a bit more, and as we spent more than $80 in Star Vista and claimed an inflatable sofa (for our next picnic!).

With renewal of the Automobile Association of Singapore membership, YowCH got the Mifold (and carry bag) for free. It is an alternate ‘booster’ seat which lowers the seat belt to fit a child.



Samuel likes it, it is small and convenient, and easy to set-up. We are still using the normal child seat, this is for taxi and travel use.

Grace received a KKH Care Tin on 7 June as part of the 160th anniversary of KKH. It has lots of snacks in it.

For two weekends over the school holidays period (2 and 9 June), YowCH conducted cajon lessons for the Church junior classes on Saturdays (instead of the Sunday School lessons). He had help from young church friends.

The third and last lesson will be on 23 June.
