Taipei 101 model completed
Posted on March 30th, 2013 by yowch
We bought a Taipei 101 cardboard model at Taipei 101 gift shop. After working on it over 4 days (intermittently), it is completed. Rather challenging as it requires some detailed cutting, plenty of gluing and great care in assembly. Esther, David and YowCH worked on this project.
The base is 20cm x 16.5cm and the height is 52cm.
Grace’s new phone – HTC One SV LTE
Posted on March 29th, 2013 by yowch
After using YowCH’s old HTC Desire for a few months, Grace got her new phone on Good Friday, a white coloured HTC One SV. Large screen, high res (460×800), large memory, runs fast, nice speakers (for a small phone) and 4G LTE version. Paid $248.00 for it with 2 years’ contract, while the recommended retail price is $688.00.
David’s birthday food
Posted on March 26th, 2013 by yowch
For David’s 9th birthday on Sunday 24 March 2013, he chose to eat 4 “lau sar bao” 流沙包 (literally bread filled with flowing sand, actually filled with salted-egg yolk custard, sweet-salty tasting) for lunch, and Japanese Ramen for dinner. No cakes (very disappointing to Joseph)!

Wall Tracks added
Posted on March 3rd, 2013 by yowch
We got two more sets of Wall Tracks, one from Taipei and one from Malaysia. Just added them on today, now the tracks starts much higher and the car takes 20 seconds to run down the wall.
Refer here for the previous posting with the initial set-up.
Bird Park with Loos and family dinner
Posted on February 24th, 2013 by yowch
We visited the bird park on 23 Feb 2013 with the Loos from 8:30am until 2:00pm (including lunch). Click on the photos for the page.
Then, we met with Yan’s family and had a family dinner at Lao Beijing, Novena Square. That’s 15 of us.
We had lots of great food, including 3 trays of xiao-lung-bao (8 pieces each tray, Joseph called them “soupy guys”) and a Hong Kong style steamed soon-hock fish.
Isis servicing – plenty of parts changed
Posted on February 16th, 2013 by yowch
At 85,000km, we sent the Isis for the 11th servicing at Ricardo. Quite a number of parts were changed.
Here you see the engine cover opened, and the auto-transmission cover (bottom of car) opened:
This round, apart from engine lubricant (Redline 5W30) and filter, we also changed the auto-transmission fluid, filter and gasket (for cover), the fan-belt (started cracking), the spark-plugs and the battery (Amaron, the last piece lasted 2.5 years with no sign of weakening, but let’s not risk it). A few days before, YowCH changed the aircon and engine air-intake filters (brandless low-cost ones).
eFG CNY dinner
Posted on February 15th, 2013 by yowch
We had a CNY dinner with eFG friends at the Leongs’ place on 15 Feb 2013. We had with us two other families of friends.
There was lo-hei again, of course.
The food was fantastic, lo-hei, some packed dishes and porridge from HH’s mum:
And Q’s waxed meat rice, fried flour sticks (油炸鬼), chicken wings, waxed meat fried rice.
We thank God for the fellowship and the great food for dinner.
