For this 1-week school holiday, we went to Melbourne arriving on 5 Sep and left on 12 Sep. We linked up and toured with our friends Samuel, Hwee Leng and their 6 children. That’s 4 adults and 10 children from 1 to 13 years of age (all born in different years!)

Today, the boys played in the first game of the Junior League. Here is the team, all in the uniform!
This is the new jersey in detail. The West Coast Wolves name and logo were YowCH’s ideas.
West Cost Wolves are the hosts for this round, and we played at Kent Ridge Secondary School. YowCH was in charge of crowd control and first-aid. The weather was very hot!
Here is YowCH washing his hands after treating a case of a player having bleeding nose after being knocked on the face. The inset of the photo shows the red bag, which YowCH painted the White Cross and wrote FIRST-AID. YowCH treated 4 cases (kicked at the shin, kicked at the ankle, spectacles pad-arm pushed into nose bridge skin, and bleeding nose).
Here are some photos of David.
David sprained his left wrist, and therefore in bandage with splint (the splint is a wrist-guard for in-line skates).
And some of Joseph.
Joseph scored one goal, even when he is playing the under-9 age group (he should be playing under-7, but there wasn’t enough players for under-9).
Both David and Joseph did well this Sunday!
Tomorrow is Malaysia’s anniversary of Merdeka! May God bless Malaysia with leaders who are clean (bersih).
We got Swap-force (second hand) and plenty of Swap-force characters, too.
The Skylanders family has grown to a large one, with the original Spyro set, the Giants (all 8) and now some Swap-force guys.
Grace got Samuel new school uniforms and T-shirts. He looks so smart! The clothes are very large for hi, but hey are already of the smallest available size.
While David was playing basketball ins school, he fell and sprained his left wrist quite badly. That’s bandage wrapped by YowCH.
In the evening, TYLin took part in the inter-consultants futsal competition organised by L&S. The team played well, but we were just not strong or skilled enough, and didn’t win any of the top positions.
Here are two photos of YowCH in action during the gaems.
And these are photos of the team and the supportive colleagues, taken before and after the games.
Grace and the children were there to support YowCH. The photos were taken by Esther.
The car tyres will be changed by next month, the general wearing and age is about right at 48,000km and 2+years. But the front left has worn more than the front right.
So YowCH took the opportunity get the girls to swop the tyres manually, using the spare donut (undersized) as temporary support.
As the lug-nuts were rather tight, YowCH did the release and tightening of the nuts.
Above is the donut standing in temporarily. This tyre cannot be used for the front when the car is driven.
Successfully done in about 40 minutes.
On Saturday, after sending Esther to Church for worship leading practice (she plays the guitar), YowCH took the boys to West Coast park for playground fun:
That’s the boys resting on the bouncy wave bridge.
Samuel gets zip-line with David’s help.
David climbed the high tower.
And Joseph climbed the smaller one.
We met Oliver there, with Anya and Timothy. Kelly brought Sarah along for shopping.
At home on Sunday, after the usual swim, football and ballet, Esther practiced piano for upcoming exam.
Last week, before the Singapore 50th National Day, our school-going children each received one set of the SG50 Lego set. There are three possible designs (although only enough parts to build one at a time) within each box. With 3 children, we got three sets and we can pose for this photo.
Today is the wedding day of Saw and Grace (church friends). Joseph served as the page-boy, leading the procession with the Bible.
Joseph did very well, and walked-in very nicely.
With the long weekend for Singapore’s 50th National Day celebrations, we went to the zoo.

YowCH received the TYLin soccer team jersey yesterday.
It’ll probably blind the opponents!
On Tuesday night, Joseph skipped Chinese class to attend Grace Hnin’s (church staff) wedding rehearsal. He is the page boy responsible to bring in the Bible. The second page boy carries the ring.
David went for Chinese class while the rest of the family helped with the rehearsal.
On Sunday morning, YowCH ran 4.0km in 23’50″, just to keep up the running practice. Then we went swimming. The children had great fun in the shallow pool (0.9m) before lessons:
In the mean time, Grace did her regular 10 laps (500m).
Then, after the exercise swims, YowCH and Grace took Samuel to the baby pool to play while the older children had their lessons.
In the afternoon, the boys had soccer. David played a friendly match against ACS Barker Road. Joseph had regular training conducted by YowCH.
For dinner, we had Taiwanese style beef noodles at Le Niu (樂牛), Vivocity. This mid-priced ‘fast-food’ is under the Paradise group.
After dinner, we went shopping for some gloves and long sleeve T-shirts for our upcoming trip.
