Hectic Weekend

We had a busy weekend as we attended first Riverlife Conference with 138 cells attended and Children have their own program.

We also attended Ah Ma's 96th years old birthday celebration over the weekend as I try to take as many picture with her as possible. We never know when will be the last birthday we are going to attend with her.

On Sunday, I had to bring the kids out so that Felin can have some peaceful time to do her work. I brought them to Tampines Hub for dinner, to do some homework and watch free movie.

Joshua really brought trouble to me on Sunday.

When I brought them to the Tampines Hub big screen, the movies seems to be a normal movie until it seems like some monster thingy coming out from the movie. I got them out of the place because I afraid they can't sleep at night and tell Felin that I brought them to see such movie. They refused to go and I explained that Mummy will scold if both of you can't sleep at night.

When Joshua reached home, he told Felin that Daddy says Mummy will scold us because of the scary movie. Felin is unhappy with me because she feel that I'm using her as the bad and unreasonable person and not teaching them the right values instead. Haiz !!! This Joshua really create trouble for me.

At Tampines Hub, I get them to write "WE EAT RICE" AND "HAPPY ANGRY" for nearly 30 minutes with a small sip of milk tea whenever they completed one row of words. But after finishing the whole thing, they can't remember a single thing about the words. Kind of worried of their abilities in catching up in their learning. Somehow feel that they are still behind normal children of their age. Sometimes also felt that I'm not doing enough for them to teach them properly.

Can't stop loving my family

As mentioned so many times, I always wanted to write about the boys and remembering what they did every other day but simply procrastinate everytime until like 2-3 months later. There are so many lovely things that I can write about them daily.



We went to view fireworks on the weekend prior National Day to feel the ambience and yet not too crowded on actual day. We had dinner at Marina Bay Promanade as we enjoyed the fighter jets and fire works, etc...

On actual Day, we went Tampines Hub and enjoyed the many activities there. We met one of the boys Classmate during the kidzania event and I knew she is one of Josiah's favourite girl. Both of them love holding hands and watch out each other in school. I'm secretly thinking, how nice if I have such sweet daughter in law in future when my wife is telling me that I need to teach Josiah not to behave like boyfriend girlfriend type of relationship in school when they are so young.
Well, I think that the most natural self of Josiah, isn't it? Always feel that he is quite like me, opposite sex attracts... Lol...

Joshua is generally more reserved and will focus on his own business, unlike Josiah who is more easily distracted. The below picture is when he asked me to take for him. Very persistent fellow...



Post National Day, we went swimming after testing and buying their new swimming costume which is less cold for them in the pool. Joshua is quite cool while learning and listen to instructions whereas Josiah is the Kan Chiong Spider who will cheong before he finish listening to us. He will pick up eventually but will take longer time. Again, I think he inherits Daddy in this aspect too. We must learn to slow down to learn and not get too kan chiong.


The below picture is when both boys refused to listen to Mummy during nap time and Mummy said need to punish them and not allow them to go for our Cell Group BBQ. I told them that they need to complete the Orange and Lemon Juice assignment and I will ask Mummy to relax her punishment. Such are rare times they will be really focused and complete their assignment.


Oh Ya. Josiah is now 106cm and Joshua 99cm. They are 2-3cm taller in just 2+ months apart. Growing Fast indeed. As for weight, Josiah is now 16.7kg and Joshua 14.4kg. As for myself, I gained so much weight to 65.7kg. OMG!!!
