COSB Family Day! :)

Finally blogging about something current :)

We had our church's Family Day over the weekend. 8am was honestly alittle early to wake up on a Saturday morning, especially after a nice time out with the girls the night before. But it was worth it! I seriously think we all put on weight with the amazing food!

People of all ages were welcomed to Changi Beach with fragrant century egg porridge and fried bee hoon (i had 3 helpings! :P) With tummies full and happy grins on our faces, we started the day with a round of aerobics by a trained gym instructor. How the aunties and uncles managed it is beyond me.. but certainly, they were a bag of good fun!

A telematch that started and ended in record time ensued; the groups just ran amok! After a round of ice cream and drinks, the group settled down for an entertaining series of magic tricks by Uncle John, leaving them amazed and peeling on their sides in laughter. We rounded up the day with an intense game of Bingo; the closest i ever seen to the ones i read about overseas :) Kudos to the organisers who thought of Bingo, a game that transcends all age and languages. And really, kudos to them for such a wonderful yummy day :) It was perfect, the way we would like it!

To those who missed it, there's still next year!

On to the Telematch!

BINGO!

Eh why i never win?

And a hug to end off a wonderful day

Thank God for the wonderful weather - it was sunny, yet windy. Given the erratic mad weather, i wouldn't dare say this fell short of a miracle. Till the next post, have a great week guys :) Blessed Monday!

10 days: i'd fall in love with you!

If not for the fact that i'm waaaay too old, AsherthePageBoy is so totally my type :) With his impish grin and boyish nature, i completely understand if he ends up with many admirers in the future.

It's also especially significant since I practically grew up with Adeline and Asher. I sat through so many chat sessions with Jason and Irene with the two precious sleeping in the backseat of the car. :) When we do have kids of our own, I pray that we'll be as giving and loving as the Tays :)

Day 4 or is it 5?

What day is it today? Is it tuesday? Or Wednesday?

I've completely lost track of time because we are stuck at home! :) After the H1N1 incident (oops, we are still in it), almost everyone in the travelling party are quarantined at home. I will never forget how to spell quarantine now. And just for the records, the twitter updates at the side are Isaiah's, not mine. He's so hot he's been getting visits from CISCO! Me, i'm just stuck at home, dateless. Nobardy norbardy nobardy wants to meet potential H1N1 people...

So anyway, it's the 4th, 5th, hmm *stares at fingers*, day of staying at home. I'm trying very hard to mark because everytime my colleague comes online, i've an e-freaking session with her on how my kids are going for their national exams.. and how the cher is stuck at home.

But apparently, the e-freak outs are not enough to get me marking. So here am i blogging about my interesting days :)

Here's what i see on a daily basis.

One day when i came home for school (when i was still schooling), Daddy asked me what colour i want my walls to be. I took a ponder and went apple green, excitedly pointing at the colour swatches in the paint books.

Few days later, i have a glorious green room to call my own :) I love my Daddy!

And our best Mummy-in-the-world simply loves bedsheets, so the yellow's contributed by her and her promise to bring her kids the best bedsheets in the world!

I love how the colours in my room clashes in such a beautiful way.


I was snapping pictures for my mum when i realised. Oh, what glorious skies we have today! :) These are things i missed out when i'm in the classroom breathing down people's necks.


As i'm typing this, i'm getting my daily dose of vitamin D.
Once again, glorious sunset right at my window.

To sound more intellectual, i googled the difference between 'comprain', 'complain' and 'complaint'. Never again shall we make the same mistakes huh!

'Comprain' - the singaporean way of complaining. Might cause pain if overused.
'Complain' is a verb (action word) as in 'he's here to complain again!'
'Complaint' is a noun (things) as in 'he's here to lodge a complaint..'

Please stay tune for more lessons. :)

Oh yeah, happy birthday OCX!!

My birthday present is to make him slimmer. hahaha.

We go waaaay back all the way to Secondary School where this guy was so happily suaning me when he doesn't even know who i was or how i looked like. Apparently, when his brothers go 'ta lai le (translated - she's here)', he will start the suaning party! But that was also the start of a blossoming friendship.

I thank God that i have a wonderful brother-in-Christ and a friend for life. He've always been there for me, and i can only hope that i can be there for him each time he needs my friendship and help. It's such joy to see OCX and Isaiah getting along well. The only thing he owes me is A MEGA BIG HUMONGOUS ANG BAO for introducing the love of his life - my best friend - to him.

Just to put the records straight, i didn't turn up for those threesome meet ups on purpose! So that you both have a chance to learn more about each other! *laa laaa laaa!

Happy Birthday brother. May the new year bring you new revelations and so much blessings and expansion of your territory that's beyond your imagination.

'Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we
ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us'
