Samuel cleared of Kawasaki

We sent Samuel for a follow-up scan on Thursday, 12 Oct 2017 (previous one in July), and he has been confirmed to be cleared of Kawasaki Disease. His blood vessels and heart are all normal.



He is now discharged from further follow-ups.

We thank God for keeping Samuel strong and healthy.

Sunday School dress-up, Samuel training on bike, Wii and Odyssey damage

YowCH was to be a spy for the church Juniors Camp publicity, so he tried two set-ups – terrorist spy and elegant spy:

The church of course chose elegant, without the Guinness, of course.

And David was helping with the games and cajon during the KFC session.

At home, David helped train Samuel in cycling, still a long way to go for Sam.

Joseph and Samuel also enjoyed playing Wii together.

On the Odyssey, sadly, YowCH grazed against the wall of a very tight carpark ramp at Spring building.

Didn’t look too bad after cleaning and touch-up. He also touched up the front bumper.

Joseph’s school Children’s Day

The theme for GESPS Children’s Day this year is Disney. Joseph is a Pirate of the Carribean.

Mid-autumn lanterns, Samuel’s Minion mask

Mid-autumn is on Wednesday 4 Oct 2017, we took the lanterns out and had some nice fun time on Wednesday night.


On 4 Oct, Samuel had children’s Day celebration in school, and the theme is Minions. We made a 3D mask for him, and he won best dressed.


YowCH work place moved

KTP moved from E-Centre@redhill to Connection One (old HDB central) on 29 September 2017 to be in the same building as Surbana Jurong, our parent company. The move started on 21 September (1st pre-move) and 27 September (2nd pre-move) before the actual move. From 2 October 2017 KTP operates from Connection One tower 1 Level 22 (main) and Level 25 (Infra and Geotech).
This was on 21 Sept:

On Saturday, the boys helped YowCH move some more things over.


This was on 27 Sept. YowCH managed to shift everything over on the 2nd pre-move.


By 29 Sept, YowCH’s office was empty at E-Centre. Here are the last looks.


And this is the moved-in look at SJ.

These are the last looks of E-Centre, YowCH’s office since Dec 2002 (KTP, and before that, TYLin).



This is the KTP main entrance at level 22.

On Monday, 2 Oct, YowCH officially started work in Connection One, seated at the corner of Wing A, facing the junction of Jalan Bukit Merah and Henderson Road.

Rather good view. From this corner, YowCH can see both Gan Eng Seng Primary and Secondary Schools and also our flat at Rumah Tinggi.

Church Children’s Day, dinner at Alibabar

Church had Children’s Day, and the theme was Toy Story. We made 3D masks – Alien for Joseph and T-Rex for Samuel.




Both won best costume.

On Sunday, we skipped swim and football due to rain, but we still had a hearty Oktoberfest meal at Alibabar.


Samuel using chopsticks, YowCH QECP course

Samuel started using chopsticks at a restaurant at Tiong Bahru Plaza over dinner. Getting there.

YowCH has been attending night class, 14 sessions in total, with 2 exams and one group project submission, to be registered as a Qualified Erosion Control Professional. The classes started on 8 September and will end by 9 November.

Pool time, Foam craft, Football

Here’s a photo of Joseph and YowCH relaxing in the Sorrento pool.

During the week, David helped guide Samuel in constructing the 3D diorama of a T-Rex foam model.


On Sunday, we had friendly games for football at Clementi Stadium.

Deputy Head Esther, Geotrax

Here’s a photo of Esther, with her Deputy Head (Deputy head prefect in school) badge.

We took the Geotrax out for Samuel, and he really enjoyed the railway lines that we built. Joseph was very helpful to set up tracks for him.

Home re-organisation

We had some time over the Hari Raya Haji (Friday) break on 1 Sept to do some home re-organisation. we packed up old photo albums and shifted our display glass shelves to the dining area, and the Clavinova (piano) to the window to consolidate all our musical instruments. We actually started on 31 August (Thursday night) and completed all the shifting by Saturday 2 Sept.

The shelves at the dining area:

It was rather difficult to move them, even when empty, as they were really heavy. We borrowed our neighbour’s trolley to shift them.

Here’s the box of Transformers that we had to shift.

And here’s Esther playing the Clavinova by the Window, with the drums, the guitars, the violins, the ukuleles, and others (recorder, harmonica, cajons, etc.) all nearby. Much easier for jam sessions and video recording.
