First School Camp

You went for your first school camp on 12 - 13 Mar 2018. You were excited and worried at the same time as it would be your first time away from home without any immediate family members. You started packing 1 month before the camp. Though it was a 2 D 1 N camp in school, you packed like you will be away for a month! But mummy is very glad that you did the packing yourself and gained a new experience. This are your growing up years and it is important for you to enjoy and learn throughout the journey....

Ready to go for the fun....

Soccer Match

Uncle Lengg Hong invited us to watch soccer at NUSS club house - Liverpool vs Manchester United. You could not make up your mind which team to support and said that you will support the winning team! Chooi Yi ah yi and Uncle Leng Hong have been very supportive and have treated us like their family. Mummy want you to be grateful to all those who have been kind to us and repay them in one way or another when you have the means to...

Lovely time spent with CY ah yi family....

Birthday 2018

You turned 10! Looking back the last 10 years....mummy can only say that you have been a pillar of my life, my life revolves around you... all decisions made taking you as priority. I wish you have multiple 10 good years and enjoy every moment of your life.

CNY 2018

Time flies...it is CNY again and you will turn 10 years old soon. It has been a while since we visited Chinatown and this year papa decided to bring us to Chinatown after reunion dinner. It has the festive mood with many people shopping for new year goodies. Though it was crowded and hot, Chinatown is definitely worth visiting during CNY to enjoy the atmosphere.

On first day of CNY, we will start the day visiting Ah Mah who is staying nearby. Took a wefie before we left our flat. Managed to get a good shot before you started to get impatient!

Having lunch with all our immediate family members is a yearly affair which mummy enjoys. Then we took a family photo before going for visiting.

Cats Safari

You are a cats lover - you love playing with those stray cats in our estate. But mummy is terrified of these furry little creatures! Papa found our a place which keep stray cats and it is opened to public to play with them - Cats therapy! Papa brought you there (of cos mummy was excused!) and you had a great time. Though there is a time limit of 1 hour per visit, you spent nearly 2 hours with them. You also took many photos to share with mummy and your friends.

Mummy's birthday 2018

We celebrated my birthday by having dinner at Chjimes. It was a simple dinner but we enjoyed the time spent together and exploring a place which you have not been for a long time.

Ready for beer??!!

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.

Taiwan - Nov 2016

We had our family holiday in Taiwan, covering Taipei, Taichung, QingChing and Hualian. You claimed that you did not enjoy yourself but it is spending time with you that matters. You are growing up so fast and mummy needs to keep up with activities you like - spending time together as a family is definitely more superior than spending time in front of PC / phone :>

First Pony Ride

Today you took your first pony ride at the Bukit Timah Saddle Club. You were anxious at first but enjoyed the ride the moment you went on the back of the horse. After the ride, you told me you understand the difficulties to control and balance during horse riding. 

Mummy is glad that you are able to appreciate the challenges faced by others when you experience it yourself.
