YowCH & Grace

We celebrated Christmas with service at church in the morning. We attended first service at 8:30am (after breakfast at the West Coast hawker centre). Then YowCH and Esther sang in the choir for the Chinese Service at 10:30am.

Right after that, we rushed to the children’s programme at 10:45am where Esther and David were in the worship band and also helped with games.

In the afternoon, we prepared dinner and had a nice Christmas dinner with Grace’s parents and Gene. We cooked white wine clams, mala baked chicken, saugages, beans+mushrooms, steak, cucumber, ABC soup and century egg.

We had fruits and wine, too.

And at the end of dinner, we had a fruitcake (bought from Han’s) soaked with XO and Cointreau (we infused on Sunday, so there were 2 days of soaking).

After dinner, we enjoyed singing Christmas carols.

A simple lunch at Brinda’s and then a simple dinner at home.

New food idea, Daifuku (Japanese starch ball) with red bean paste and strawberry.

Samuel is able to handle the Lego Creator set, and built the 3 dinosaurs from the set.

On Sunday, we went for swim, and the boys had fun on the coach’s banana float.

In the afternoon, we went for soccer, and met heavy rain and lighting towards the end. The rain was so heavy that the field was flooded with 1 inch of water!

On Saturday, 1 Dec, YowCH went for his regular run and then continued with 5.00km of cycling within the carpark area. At 4.95km, he had a fall and hurt his knees, left wrist and sprained his neck. Thank God all the injuries are minor. The bike slipped at a turn on rather slippery surface.

In the evening, YowCH and Esther performed as musicians for the church’s carols choir team at West Coast area. It was very tiring but fun.

It was rather boring for the boys waiting for the event to start.

The first part started at 7:10pm and we sang for about 12 minutes, before the Member of Parliament conducted the Christmas Tree lighting ceremony and the Aerobics Cheer-leading performance.


David helped with the video and Grace took photos.



During the break, we had to replace one string on Esther’s Takamine which broke during the first part.

The second part started at about 7:40pm and we played adn sang for another 30 minutes. Esther had a soloist part!


After carol signing, we had a late dinner at Xin Wang, West Coast Plaza.

On Sunday, Joseph shared his testimony with the rest of the Juniors in church during the post-Batam trip party in church. We did not swim this weekend to attend this party.

After the party, we went to Decathlon, Joo Koon to get some sports stuff while heavy rain poured outside. We had sushi lunch at Sushi Express, where every plate is $1.50 and the green tea is free. Total of 40 plates.

After the rain, Joseph and Samuel attended football practice. We saw a nice rainbow, which later grew to a full-arc!


And after the rainbows, it started pouring again!
