Sick and Bored

A sick and bored Rae made these at home today.

豆花

最近，豆花瘾特别强。特地去了一趟Old Airport Road Market去买好吃的豆花。我最爱的那摊豆花大排长龙，我只好光顾另外一摊，结果味道一样好！摊名是Bean Flower Water (豆花水的译名）。

Fantastic Clay

Ben chanced upon this clay at Art Friend and he swears by it now. He claims the new clay is easily malleable, dries nicely and is vibrantly colourful. He and the girls have been using the clay to make angry bird replicates. The collection is growing!

The games they are playing

The daddy is trying to teach Rui to play chess and checkers. From the looks of it, Rui is not fantastic at the game of strategy.

Yan, on the other hand, loves this game - Sleeping Queens. And her reason? "The Queens are all so pretty!"

New School!

Yan's child care centre moved to a bigger, better premise. It is now 4-storey high, with a dance studio, vast play area and even an outdoor playground to be shipped from overseas!

According to the teachers, the kids say their new school is like a hotel. : )

Yan was lamenting about having to go home when I picked her up just now. What a change in attitude.

Swim Meet

Shin Rae and Shin Jen are going for their first "swimming competition" in September. Fun stuff! It's not a real true blue competition but rather a chance for the kiddos to learn to be good sportsmen, learn to try their best at honing their swim skills and most importantly, to have some fun!

Rae will take part in the 30M free style while Yan will do the 30M fun swim and Treasure Hunt. Dylan will also try his hand at 30M free style and Treasure Hunt.

I will post pictures of the meet later. Can't wait!

Me and my Mini

An innocent remark from Ben asking me to get my own car started the whole chain of events, that led me to buying a mini cooper for myself.

The car is a pre-used one, turbo driven, too small for my family of 4 + 1 helper, has non-existent boot space, not drive-friendly for our annual road trip to Malaysia and is too pricey for all its non-practicalities. Despite all those, I love my MINI!

Call it my mid-life crisis but I am determined to indulge myself with a big buy this time. I get to drive something I like, using my own money!

ROARRRR!!!!
