Some of our dinners:
And our nice liquors:
Rambutans from YowCH’s colleague’s tree, nice.
Roku Gin (Japanese) from Paul, very very nice.
Samuel is in white shoes for photo taking. He will wear them next year when he enters Primary School.
YowCH’s Air Max covered about 360km of runs and very little walking, about to be worn out.
Esther went cycling, and YowCH took some nice photos:
Esther also made some cloth cases using the sewing machine:
Joseph and Samuel had some fun time at the playground.
Joseph can saw, he helped YowCH saw pieces of wood to fix the bed.
David’s Air Max was worn out and the bubble burst, but everything else was OK. So YowCH though of an idea to use silicone to fill the bubble to repair the shoe.
The shoe works fine after silicone injection – but heavier and not so bouncy.
We had some fun in the pool last weekend on 4 Aug after our weekly swim (but Joseph was ill and Grace was away at work).
YowCH collected the deed of Rumah Tinggi flat from the lawyer on 6 Aug. The flat is now ‘fully owned’.
We had dinner with the Yongs at our place on 9 Aug (which is the Singapore National Day), hot plate food after some games.
After dinner, Siu Hei go to try out using the sewing machine!
Grace attended the Church Ladies’ retreat over the weekend of 3 to 5 Aug. Click on the photos to view:
Gabriel invited Samuel to Safra Toa Payoh’s Kids Amaze for his birthday party. YowCH brought him there on the Saturday morning. Samuel had great fun running around the maze with his friends for 2 hours!
In the mean time, YowCH walked across the road from Safra to visit the Dragon playground, a Singapore heritage site.
Here are some photos of the food we ate:
Mexican from Food Panda:
Home cooked pasta with meat slices:
Eating at Kay Lee with our swim coaches after swimming lesson.
Japanese food at Star Vista.
On Friday, 26 July, YowCH had a meeting with some Chinese delegates from Vanke. Here’s the group photo and YowCH’s name plaque on the table. Hong Kian also attended the meeting.
Grace ordered soju online, and with discount. Got these 10 at $85.00, usual would be about $150.00.
Grace made some masks, Deadpool and Spider-man.
Joseph is very interested in using the sewing machine. He has made two pencil cases.
On 20 July, we invited YowCH’s sister and family over for dinner. We had a great time eating BBQ at home.
We had beef, salmon and pork.
The pork was grilled with gula melaka, fantastic taste.
We had a good time of eating and fellowship. Especially with some soju…
The car is almost 3 years old, and YowCH sent the Odyssey for inspection ($70.62) with total traveled distance of 55,573km.
The inspection passed, and we can continue to renew road tax and drive the car.
While Gene, mom and dad were away from home, the washing machine hose burst and and Sorrento was flooded! Neighbours called Gene after seeing water floor out from the floor. YowCH went over to help rescue the situation, and managed to clean up the water in about 2.5 hours, using a makeshift squigy and a mop. Hair dryer was used to help heat up and dry under the cabinet.
Lesson learned: turn of the mains when water not in use.
David has worn out his Nike Air Max. He wore this for runs and to school, and the air bubble had burst after all the rubber was gone.
YowCH’s running shoes are also getting there.
We had a nice Greek dinner at Blu Kouzina (Dempsey) with Mom, Dad and Gene. Big thanks to Gene for the dinner.
We had lots of good food.
And the birthday cake for the 45-year-old lady!
We had a simple dinner/party for the Mid-lifers’ Camp committee. Joseph/Amy/Stephen, Jasper/Josephine and Timothy/Tracy/Theodore/Thaddea/Theophilus came. We prepared some simple pasta, baked vege and meat-ball soup, and had grilled pork and beef.
We had prepared the food several days in advance.
The under-12 children sat at the living room, while the adults and teens sat at the dining table.
We had good fellowship over the food.
Timothy even brought a cake for Grace’s birthday!
Here’s the group ohoto.
