United Square - Ball of A Time! 31 / Aug

Gordon had a good time playing the "water ball" at United Square while waiting for Gloria to finish her TLL (make up lesson for absence for Christmas Island). I actually spent $60 (on mum and my clothes) to get this free ride otherwise it cost $9 for 10min of playtime.

PB was so pissed at first as the service counter told us that they ran out of voucher! We need to come back on other day to play! However, we insisted we wanted to play on the same day and was shocked to find out that many others also were told the same thing from the service counter.

It was a long wait and finally Gordon got the ride on and had so much fun! A little reward for his hard work for his prelim which he showed lots of improvement!

Wish that he would do much better than his prelim and get in to a suitable & good secondary school!

All the best my darling boy!

National Mathematical Olympiad of Singapore 2008 - 23 / Aug



Gloria was chosen to be the MC for this event and she was all excited about it. They had only 1 final rehearsal on 22/Aug just one day before the actual event.

Ah ma and I went on the actual day to support her and see how she carried herself on the stage. Suddenly, I felt she is so different!

Really a grown up girl with the high heel, stockings, blazer and a confident outlook! I must congratulate her on having achieving so much by herself, not only in studies but the willingness to venture in other areas like leadership and public speaking.

Despite having some criticism from some of her peers as being branded as "studious", "no life", "nuts" & etc....

Dear girl, do not care what others have to say about you. Sometimes in life, we cannot please all but just to stick on to your dreams and go forward. I'm sure when you look back, you will not regret what you have achieved and the journey you have enjoyed!

A Belated Posting for Gloria's 14th Birthday!









Sorry Gloria girl. Did not upload the photos taken on your birthday! It was taken using the other camera and not my hp. Anyway, we had good time at Sakae Sushi at Suntec. Remember we went to Ben & Jerry and had our yummy ice cream! I'll upload more photos after you come back from Christmas Island!

Dinner with Mr Funabiki & Family @ 京華 on 21/Aug





Mr Funabiki visited us @ Jast office about 5pm with his family and his cute Nanami! We brought him a birthday cake although it is belated by 1 day. We then went to 京華 about 5.45pm and had an early dinner! At about 7.10pm we almost finished our dinner. Marcus joined in too. He came about 6.30pm and in fact he put on a fair bit. Must be good life, good bonus! Hoped that Mr Funabiki had an enjoyable time in S'pore and I'm he did!
