Cub Scout Swimming Sunday

article written by Izzy Jr #1

It is cub scout swim-day!

The cub scouts went swimming at the Singapore American School (SAS). First, we had to swim in various styles (freestyle, backstroke & breaststroke) for 100 yards. We then learn how to rescue swimmers in the deep water. After that, we had swimming games; the first game was racing with a watermelon (sometimes the watermelon can sink), in the second game, we had swimming race on a floating noodle and the final game was to collect treasure under water. We also played with the spring board... Up-Up and away...way down!

Cycling ECP to Changi Beach - part 2

...More photos from the cycling trip. This kind of cycling track should also be made available in Selangor... our home town... proper cycling track with minimal need to cross main roads (maybe 2 or 3 and all with proper pedestrian crossing) and not forgetting shades by the big trees. A good and healthy alternative to indoor family activities (i.e. shopping complexes!).

Time to go home. The kids slept in the car ...almost within 1 minute into the journey home.

Cycling ECP to Changi Beach - part 1

Went for cycling at East Coast Park (ECP). The plan was to have lunch at ECP (we had fried kway teow, satay & tauhu bakar) and cycle around for 1-2 hours... but we ended just a little farther than expected... Changi Beach Park which is about 16km of cycling! Even the smallest member of the Izzy family managed to cycle all the way without feeling tired... considering this is his 1st time cycling in public track on 2 wheels! Mama Izzy also enjoyed the whole trip.

As for papa Izzy.... he cycled 16 x 2 = 32km... yup to get the car at ECP and pick them up at Changi as the kids & mama spent time at the beach right before the airport runway with many planes landing. One thing for sure... we all burned all our lunch before dinner time!

BBQ at ECP

It has been quite a while since we did our family BBQ. Happened to be watching Jamie Oliver on the TV and he was showing his recipe for BBQ salmon...... it looked yummy and we tried this new recipe..... yup..... it tasted yummmyyyyy. Our BBQ menu also include chicken & mashed potato..... with Jamie, you always boil potato with garlic). While waiting for the food to be ready, we set-up the tent, tossed football and then went cycling after having our late afternoon BBQ. Must do it again!... soon.

Wedding

Last weekend and this weekend will be busy travelling to Klang Valley to attend the kids' uncle's wedding. The akad nikah was held last Friday (4/4/08) and the uncle's reception will be next weekend.
