With 3000+ local staff and hosting an annual dinner with 2000+ attendees, SJ had the Annual Dinner at Expo Hall 7 on Friday night, 2 Feb 2018.
The theme is “Multi Nations, Multi Skill”.
Everyone received a Nets Card as door gift (with $8).
And here’s YowCH next to Fen Leong.
The event included lucky-draws,talent shows and best-dressed. The MC, Moe Alkaff, was really good. He managed to get the floor up and moving. YowCH got a Starbucks coffee card with $20 from lucky draw.
The dinner started at about 7:30pm and ended at about 10:30pm. Lots of wine and brandy, good that YowCH took a ride with Fen Leong.
YowCH’s cousins Phan Wei Lian and family (from Taiwan) and Phan Wei Yeu visited us. We had a sumptious Korean dinner at The Gogi and adjourned to our home for more chit-chat time.
We had a great time catching up, and the children had a great time playing together, too.
West Coast Wolves hosted the West league at Clementi Stadium on Sunday, 27 Feb 2018 from 7:00am to 5:00pm.
YowCH was the photographer and odd-job guy.
Grace and Samuel were there, too.
David arrived at the field at about 2:15pm for the U15 games.
After lunch, it was the U12 and U15 games, and Grace took Samuel and Joseph to Sorrento.
Due to pouring rain and lightning risks, the finals were cancelled and the U15 had joint winners West Coast Wolves and Taman Jurong.
Senior Minister S Iswaran was present to give away the medals.
We had lunch at Colber:
And an afternoon swim before church for Sam and YowCH
We had our first cell-group meeting at the Tan’s new place at Upper Thomson on Friday 19 Jan.
For Grace’s 20th anniversary with KKH, she received a certificate, a notepad, $400 of vouchers and $100 in a cash-card.
YowCH has been running regularly, from 2.5km to 5.0km. Even on 14 Jan when it was drizzling and the air temperature as the lowest in Singapore (since 2016) at 22°C.
YowCH also managed to swim 500m (10 laps) non stop in free style for the first time. Grace is now regularly doing 20 laps of breast stroke with some breaks in between laps.
YowCH’s office had a lunch with the Infra and Geo teams in office on Tuesday, 16 Jan as a start to the new year.
A good time of fellowship over food.
We had friendly games with Shoot Academy, a Japanese football club on 14 Jan. They were really good and we were practically trashed, but fun time playing.
After a tough game, and with very low temperature in Singapore, eating Korean BBQ was great.
Our Church celebrated 60th anniversary with service followed by dinner at Orchid Country Club. Officially, our church started on 12 Jan 1958.
We took a family photo when we arrived on that rainy day.
Service and dinner in the main hall.
Esther was part of the choir.
The choir sang in serveral segments of the service and dinner.
Beacon CG and eCG table photo.
That’s the children in their children program (separate room).
The children performed (and so did the older folks). Samuel and Joseph were very enthusiastic.
Final event, birthday cake and prayers.
On 10 Jan, looking out of YowCH’s office window, nothing much could be seen due to extremely heavy rain.
That evening, a good time to have grapefruit and vodka.
