HMS Bulwark Navy Ship

Got to know that our school friend was visiting Singapore for work. He is a freelance journalist who writes about military stuff... One of his normal routine includes going to ship receptions... & we managed to tag along. We were on-board the HMS Bulwark @ the Changi Naval Base.

Unfortunately kids are not allowed so we (papa & mama) went without them!

Mama's Burfday!

Yup... it's May & it is mama's burfday! We celebrated at home on Friday evening with B&J ice cream cake. Izzy Jr #1 played the happy burfday song on the piano.
Then, on Saturday we went and had dinner at the Grand Hyatt hotel and supper at a PS Cafe at Dempsey Hill. We had steak + chocolate cake + lemon pudding + lots of cheese!

Moon Bear


Yes... time for the Year 5 kids to host their 1st exhibition... part of their preparation before going into the middle school. The theme for the school project reseach this year is about world issues (on sustainable development). Many topics such as recycling, global warming, smoking etc were researched by the kids in groups of 4-5.
Izzy Jr and his group did research on Moon Bear... an animal that is facing extinction. He is the leader for his group. The pinnacle of the research is an open day where all the kids have to present their work to parents, children from other schools, teachers and even to younger kids. They did this by displaying their work, do presentations and even play their own-produced iMovie.
During their research which lasted 2 months, the learning profiles & attitudes that they learnt together are confident, open-minded, communicator and appreciation. Well done to Izzy Jr #1 and his team and all his classmates for the great work!


He is now a TIGER!

Yup! Izzy Jr#2 has completed his 1st year as cub scout and has officially graduated into a Tiger Cub Scout! Good Job & Congrats to him and his Tiger Den1! Hopefully more fun in the coming years (... and more sewing of patches for his father!).

F1 Malaysia 09



Yup it's F1 season. The boys went to Sepang to enjoy the race. It rained in the afternoon and somehow the boys successfully got their shirts wet & so got new F1 shirts! They must have planned for this cause my shirt was dry!

The race itself had to be stopped midway due to heavy rain later during the race. It was buckets of water + sunset + lightning + darkness.... Whatever the case.... next year we still want to go! But Izzy Jr #2 wants confirmation that Massa will win before going.... Hmmmmmm... any suggestion?




afternoon before the race, it rained... boys got new Ferrari shirts







4:30pm Preparing for the race...



The Race!





Then.... the rain & the end of the race!

Melaka Bandar Bersejarah

Spent 3 days & 2 nights at Melaka over the weekend. It was a simple trip to get out of the city life. You can visit many places at Melaka. Since we wanted to have a relaxing trip, we did not have any to do or to go list.... just find spots nearby the hotel. We ended-up visiting Muzium Kapal Flor De La Mar (Flower of the Sea - a Portuguese ship that sank off the coast of Melaka while on its way to Portugal carrying precious items looted from the Sultan), Muzium TLDM, A Famosa and the Istana Kesultanan Melayu Melaka... fun and educational for the kids. Not forgetting we had ikan jenahak & Ikan pari asam pedas... a must when you are in Melaka & enjoy spicy food!
