Haziq's Elementary School Graduation

yup... the petite boy in the front row is him

Yes, early June ... apart from the new addition to the family, Izzy Jr#1 also graduated from his Elementary School. After 5 years in elementary school, next August he is going into Middle School! His school had a graduation ceremony to mark the occasion. After the graduation, everyone was invited to a cake party! Yummy.

New Addition!

Yes, the Izzy family is now 5. The latest addition is a baby girl... She was safely delivered on 2nd June 2009 at 0640hrs. Yes, early in the morning (her two brothers were delivered in the afternoon). Mama & baby doing well. As Izzy Jr #2 & his Year 1 classmates say...

Welcome to the World!

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!
