Today is Teachers’ Day and the Childcare Centre is closed. So, Grace and I took leave and brought the children to the zoo, after an early morning check-up on Baby 3.
And we have just updated the site with a page for the Church Camp – PJ holiday.
Wow! We took yet another trip to the Singapore Flyer on 19 aug 2008. This time, for the night view, and to celebrate Gene’s birthday. It was a wonderful crab dinner first at Seafood Pradise and then up onto the Flyer.
Wow, many activities in the last few weeks to update; starting with the TYLin Staff Club organised Durian Trip to Johore on 12 July 2008, then a trip to the Singapore Flyer with the Lims on 27 July 2008 and then a TYLin Staff Club organised walk on the Southern Ridge from Telok Blangah Rise to HortPark passing the Henderson Wave and the Alexandra Arch.
Grace was excluded from the Southern Ridge walk, as she is having vericose veins problems, and should not walk too much.
More details to follow when we have the time to upload the photos.
With Mediacorp’s HD5 channel available on Starhub for free, we subscribed to Starhub on 7 Aug 08 and bought the Samsung Series 4 32″ LCD TV. Both the Starhub HD set-top box and the TV were delivered on 8 Aug 2008 afternoon, just in time to enjoy the Beijing Olympics 2008 opening ceremony on HD and the projector with the EFG gang!
We had another scan on 10 July 2008, and it is a BOY. Everything else normal, right in the middle of the band for average size of babies of this number of months.
Please visit the Baby 3 page to see latest scans.
Tomorrow we’ll be going on a T.Y.Lin Staff Club organised Durian Trip to Malaysia. More updates after that.
We have started Esther on ballet two weeks ago, on 29 June 2008 (Sunday). Now, every Sunday from 4:30pm to 5:30pm we’ll be at Funan Centre for her class. In the mean time, we can shop for our IT stuff, camera stuff or movies. She loves her class. We have also bought some ballet movies for her to watch, as inspiration.
Grace’s workplace, KK Hospital, had their Family Day at the zoo today. We made our way there after church and reached about 11:15am. At zoo, we met up with Perly and brought her in together. After a short queue to collect the provided lunch (KFC) we proceeded to roam the zoo until about 4:15pm and left for home.
We were all pretty tired (I didn’t sleep well thanks to lots of office work, and Grace is 4 months pregnant). But we did have a good time looking at preserved pangolin, preserved hedgehog, a live small bearded dragon, followed the monkey feeding, the children fed the giant arapaima fish, watched the polar bear feeding.
The Bible Church, Singapore’s camp for 2008 was in Malacca from 2 to 5 June.
We had a great time in Malacca, listening to Rev Dr David Wong’s sermons and also fellowship with church members. On the free-and-easy afternoon, we went out with the young adults for a city walk and eat.
After camp, we spent 2 nights at YowCH’s parents home in PJ. That was also when we celebrated Esther’s 6-year-old birthday.
Pictures are here.
We have just started a page for Baby 3, the direct link is here:
Also added is an overdue trip report for our Perth holiday from 10 to 15 Sep 2007.
This is the start of our WordPress blog, and the restart of our online presence after a long web silence of 3 years.
The old website can be reached here.
