Finland_Norway Dec 2017

It was a holiday which mummy was looking forward to and planned 1 year in advance. It is the most exotic and further destination which we were went as a family. Preparation for the winter started many months ahead of the departure. It is truly a memorable trip which all of us enjoyed.

Santa Claus town and enjoying yummy salmon. You loved the salmon.

 Husky ride - so enjoyable though it was freezing cold

You love playing with the huskies...

Cycling & Swimming

Riding bicycle and swimming are skills which mummy think are important for survival and for social. It bothers me that you have not mastered these 2 skills last year as kids your age are already good at it. This year, your school started swim saver course and with little swimming experience you had, you managed to learn how to learn after 3 lessons (Q1 2017). Hooray...1 milestone achieved.

On 10 May 2017, we went to Bishan Park with Chooi Yee Ah yee and family. Uncle Leng Hong brought bicycles for Hanah and Sarah. You borrowed their bicycles to try and you can ride it immediately. Mummy was very impressed with your ability to learn new skills.

You had a good time in the park, playing with other's pet and Hanah.

After learning how to ride, you were keen to go riding in the following weeks. You were with papa alone 2 weeks later and went East Coast to ride bicycles. This is a good week for father-son bonding :>

Hong Kong & Macau March 2017

Mummy decided to visit Hong Kong again (& Macau) as that is a familiar place which not much planning is required. Most importantly it is where Ah Mah would be keen to visit as well. As usual, only yourself, ah mah and mummy went for this trip. Though you were not too excited, it is a holiday away from Singapore and you were looking to take the SQ flight!

We stayed in Macau Venetian for 2 nights. It is a very nice hotel which all 3 of us were happy to pursue our own interest - ah mah visited the casino, mummy spent hours at the shopping mall and you were enjoying staying in the hotel room playing computer games!

When we returned to HK, mummy brought you to HK Disneyland. Most likely this will be your last visit as you have outgrown some of the rides. But it was still a very enjoyable day spent for you.

It was a short but memorable trip for all of us....

9th Years Old birthday

You turned 9 years old today. Time flies, it feels like yesterday when mummy checked in to the hospital to deliver you. It has been a wonderful 9 years - with challenges to manage, laughter and joy while watching you grow up. It is my blessing to have you, my son.

The week before, you requested to go Trampoline park to "celebrate" your birthday. Your only request is to invite your favorite cousin - Aidan. We should certainly have more family outings.

1st Guitar

You requested mummy to let you learn guitar after watching people singing and playing guitar in you tube. You aspire to be able to play the guitar as well as them. Mummy searched around and found you a young guitar teacher. To ensure that your interest lasts before getting you a guitar, mummy approached uncle Leng Hong for help - we ended up borrowing one of his guitars for your first guitar class. Uncle Leng Hong not only lent you his guitar but taught you about guitar.

After your first lesson, mummy decided to buy a guitar for you (acoustic guitar) from the shop which your guitar teacher works part time during weekends.

You were trilled to own your first guitar. Mummy hope you are given the opportunity to learn and be exposed to different experience. Have fun and looking forward to the day you can play a decent song.
