Never would I ever imagine having a pet at home, even more so for dog. But ever since Cody, our Corgi-breed puppy join us 3 weeks ago, our lifestyle has changed dramatically (although part of it has to do with my father’s stroke incident).
Our Families
Hail to a dozen birth-days
With our dear nephew, Kang, obviously.
The celebration started with a whipping buffet at Kushinbu Great World, followed by an Ice-Age movie screening. What a night!
Reminiscence of the old days
Time flies. All it takes is for one to pause for a moment, to realize that.
I had wanted to convert all the hard copies of my old film photos into digital form, for a long time. All this while I had been dragging my feet on this, because I know it will be a tedious scanning process given hundreds of photos I had on hand. Yesterday, I decided to start the conversion process, as I know it is just a matter of time, and sometimes you just need that cranked start …
Then I come across some of the photos taken in 1999. Taken just slightly less than a decade, I realize we appeared to be much more happier then. And looking at some of the photos, I rediscover a lot of things, why Kang has always been my favorite nephew, why I was attracted to yeez, etc.
Those were the days.

A short escapade to Bintan
This was probably the first time Yeez and myself had an holiday with Kang & Ray (and their parents of course, our sister and brother-in-law) so we were naturally very excited.
The ferry ride was a non-event (thank godness!), sea was not choppy and we got ourselves a good seating arrangement, all thanks to Kang’s “leadership” in getting the good seats reserved! So finally we arrived at Bintan Lagoon Resort, which is about 10 mins bus ride away from the ferry terminal, I had to say it had not changed since the first time I came to the resort 10 years ago. Still, it was a different experience given that this was the first time we spent with our nephews in the resort. Continue reading
Darren’s creativity
Looking at the beauty and creativity of a child, it makes one envy how innocent and pure they are. They make what they see and feel, not interfered by any other happenings, politics, etc that lingers in the air for an adult. The child innocence is so beautiful and really worth to treasure… here are some creative pieces that Darren my godson has created.

Alfred 1st birthday bash
1st July 2007. That’s 365 days since Chuan’s little Alfred first arrived into this world.
Such a cute, adorable little boy, how can the grand uncles/aunties and uncles/aunties not want to celebrate his first birthday bash?
Took some photos and video of the event, and here’s a compilation of the video taken. Enjoy!

June Holiday with Darren
We have not been to the Night Safari for ages. Wow! so much has changed. The only thing that did not change is that when you walk around, you either see an empty cage or the hind of the animal … haha….but as we took the tram, we get to see many types of animals awake and moving around. The ones we see are mostly nocturnal animals. The animal show is really good. Darren really enjoyed himself totally, until he got a fright at the animal show when the zoo keeper bang close the drain board to create some hype about a hidden python amongst the crowd.
Well overall, we had good fun. Good to spend some time with family.
June Holiday excursion with Kang & Ray
We brought Kang & Ray (along with mum) to Sentosa for a day excurison. I’m sured the kids were enjoying themselves, afterall, Ray said and I quote here; ‘This is the best day of the year’ 😀
We started off with some Wii games at Kang & Ray’s home first.

Then we set off to Sentosa, where we enjoyed 4D cinemax movie and go-kart ride at Imbiah Hill. Had a tour of Skytower ride and lunch before some interesting experience at the Wondergolf.

It was too hot for our liking, and the minigolf course was quite a run-down, that we decided to retreat for a bowling game instead.

The kids then had a good shower-up at our place before dinner at Farrer Road hawker centre. The downside of the day was a puncture tire as a result of reversing into a curb! paid a big bomb for replacing the tires (all 4 since the tires are due for replacement soon) but considering how the kids had enjoyed their day, it’s worthwhile afterall 😉
