Bf with Mum at her favourite's Cafe Cartel. A treat from Mum to celebrate Veona's Bday. Went back home to prepare the food and also did some area cleaning.







Didn't know that they like the mascot from Giant

Had a simple celebration for Veona's Bday at our house. Think next year we will just book a chalet to celebrate her bday cause weather is really very hot.
Prepared simple dishes for the guests.




Birthday gal is so happy. You must be good gal ok. 11 years old already. Study hard and don't be an Ah Lian or Daddy & Mummy will be very sad.







Singing Bday song to her. She looks so paiseh

Making a wish

Cutting the cake

What a tiring day. Luckily I do not have to work tmr.

We participated in some Amazing Race at Botanic Garden with the kids today. We were allowed to join in as Parent Volunteers as some parents actually withdrew from it. Initially only Kennie was allowed to participate. So sad that I couldn't join in initially and was thinking how I'm going to spend the day. Was later told that I can join in as Observer and in the end, I was allowed to join in the competition. So fickle minded of them. There's a standard set of questions for every teams and we had to go around Botanic Garden to find the answers. It's actually quite easy to find the answers as clues were given. Overall the whole event is poorly co-ordinated. In the end, we didn't even know who was the winning team,

The final rest before the race

Best dress competition using recycle material.

The team members

This is one of the sculpture that we need to find. Mother swinging the children or whatever it's called.


The finale. Singing under the hot Sun.

Sumptuous lunch prepared by Mil. A nice way to be pampered after a tiring morning.
Jodie came over our house to stay for the weekend. Some fun at the newly opened Garden Roof Top at Lot one. It's actually divided into 2 parts, the water and normal playground. Weather was super hot this few weeks so we bought a fan at Courts. Think my electric bill is going to shoot up next mth cause I'm going to switch on 3 fans in my living room. The hot weather is driving me crazy.


Went shopping at Jurong Point. Our dinner at Lai Lai Taiwan Cuisine.


The 3 pigs..... haha

Deep Dried Pepper Chicken with Pepper

Fried Calmari

Mee Suai with Pig Intestine

Fried Fish Noodle Soup

Their Specialty - Beef Noodle. The portion is very generous and the beef is very big and tender. Yummy. So juicy.

Meet the teacher session today. Videl got Band 1 for all subject except for Science (Band 2). Initially thought her result is still quite acceptable but was told by the teacher that she's in the last few positions in her class. Her teacher has actually expected her to have better results. Overall, she's very responsible in class and always eager to help the teacher.

Veona got 80+ for Maths, 70+ for Science and Chinese and 50+ for English. Nothing much to be happy about her result cause the papers are easier this term. & her English has dropped so much. Hope the lesson at British Council can help her. Really worried that she might get very bad grade for PSLE. Teacher's main concern is that she doesn't participate much in class. Didn't want to try to answer as she's worried that she might be laughed at.

Dumpling/Dragonboat festival on Thurs. Complimentary Dumpling from Mum.


Sis just returned from Hokkaido a few weeks ago and has given me a box of their local product. Nice packaging and it also tasted very nice.

Brought the laptop to the Service Centre at Wisma. Luckily it's FOC. Good service from both the sales staff and the staff from the Service Centre. They are so warm and friendly.

Our dinner at Sushi Tei. Actually wanted to apply for the member card. Think it's $80 for the member card and will receive $100 vouchers in return. Thought that I can use the vouchers immediately but was told that the vouchers will only be mailed to us in 2 mths time.
