YowCH & Grace

YowCH’s old classmate and business friend invited the family to a movie screening at Kallang on Friday, 17 Nov. We watched Justice League.



After the movie, we realised that the parking is coupon parking (non-gantry) but we received a warning instead of a fine for first time offence in 8.5 years of driving. There is grace in Singapore, too.

On Saturday, Joseph went to church for Junior Camp. This is the day camp for all P1 to P5 (the P4-P5 had leadership training the weekend before in the 2 nights stay-over camp).

Joseph then stayed over in Sorrento and continued the camp on Sunday. we joined him for the camp ending dinner on Sunday night.

We had dinner with the campers, nice home cooked food.

There were performances by the juniors groups, and Joseph’s group did the story of Gideon and his army against the Midianites. Joseph was playing Gideon.

Prize giving! Joseph was selected as the Most Sporty Camper. But his group was one of the 3 groups with consolation prize (out of 6 groups).

Samuel jumped into the pool during swim class today, and hit his chin on the wall. A rather bad cut, but not too serious.

We started Samuel on in-line skates. He is brave and able to manage on the skates, but needs lots more training to go about on his own. David is a good trainer.


Joseph is able to dribble the basketball and shoot while on skates!

Nike shop had a 30% sale, so Grace and YowCH got new shoes. Now the whole family has Nike running shoes.

Also bought for David (running shoes), Joseph (soccer boots) and Samuel (walking shoes).

We did our own Korean Army Hotpot, using fuyu as the soup base. Pretty good stuff!

An update on YowCH’s office, the blinds were finally added, and it really provided great help against the morning sun.

YowCH also arranged for a TV to be placed at the meeting area between Fen Leong and him, useful for discussions.

YowCH went to Raffles Hospital for a full health check, with treadmill added. Results will be known a few weeks later, but the prelim readings looks normal.

Perhaps some bitter gourd juice to help with rising blood pressure.
