Tungtung Came to Visit : Jul-11

It has been a good three years since we last met Tungtung or Selina when she visited Singapore in 2008. En'en was still very much a baby and could not interact much with Tungtung. This time however, En'en is much older and in fact spent the most time and talked the most with Tungtung! Although Tungtung does not have a younger sibling, she is pretty patient with En'en.. in fact much more so than En's own sisters sometimes!



This time, Tungtung came with her entire family - Cannes, Carl and Aunty Ann! Their stopover here was very brief though because Tungtung has already missed school for almost two weeks as she and Aunty Ann has visited their aunt Annie's family in Australia prior to this. I have brought Aunty Ann and Tungtung together with Aunty Hoijie to visit Mummy's niche at Senja on Thursday morning. It was Aunty Ann's first time to Senja.

We have arranged to have dinner together on Friday night as most of them will be leaving for Hong Kong on Saturday.. Dear Dor has generously agreed to cook for us at home and even took half day leave to whip up the feast!

QQ was full of praises for Dor's white chicken, which complemented perfectly the beautiful and aromatic chicken rice she cooked.. Oh ya, think I did not have the chance to taste the belachan kangkong before the dish was wiped clean! ): Dor's homemade spring roll was also very special with.. err, i wonder what's the reddish things she stuffed into the rolls..

Scrumptious spread.. (Hmm.. think I gotta wait till my next existence before I can ever whip up anything close to this!?)

Complete with chilly crab!

Treasure-pot of soup!

Kebab on lemongrass skewers with alcoholic dip! Indie tapas?

Luxurious vegetarian dish..

Veri nice duah tauh!!

After recapturing Hong's wedding day moments with them, we brought Tungtung, Cannes and Carl to Marina Bay Sands' SkyPark.

En'en Birthday : Jul-11

Our little one has reached 4! En'en is the biggest baby born among all the girls, an achievement and a new record in the family... Shin Yang is proud about that at least. Well, through these 4 years, she lives to her reputation in defensing her 'title'. She often surprises us on her ability to fit to her jeje's clothes which we expect her to wear 2 to 3 years later. We also give her the nickname, 'Giant Baby'. Sometimes we wonder if the average size of the babysitter's family plays a part in this 'sizing', a funny thot.. but coincidentally our 3 girls have 3 different baby sitters and their sizes are proportionally relative to them, interesting right? This year we did not buy any toys for En'en during her birthday, she is loaded with toys from other sources. Instead, we bring her to Changi Airport T3, to a kids playground and she has a good hour of fun.

Tik Tok Momento for P6 Cubs: Jul-11

The very first time our P6 campfire items moved to the main hall and were presented on the grand stage of IPA. At the same time, our cubs get to discuss and practise their performance items before the camp. .. .. PD's Got Talent!

Hong helped us choreographed and coached this about 3-minute dance. Being Hong's first time being given such a short time to complete a dance routine, his initial steps proved too complex for us. Nevertheless, after some modifications and lots of drilling in those 2 two-hour dance practices, all of us were proud of our cubs and our cubs were proud of their dance! And we were all looked forward to the camp. (^_^)

For the P6 Camp on 12-13 March, our Young Champions as our cubs were called during the camp, made friends with one another, had lots of fun, and also emerged the Champion of all 14 teams! Here's a short clip on the training and performance of their Tik Tok dance, put together by my hero, the sunshine uncle Victor.. (^_-)



In appreciation of the time and efforts by kor-kor Trey , the cubs wrote a card and the aunties made a balloon hat for their dance choreographer and instructor!

June Holidays at Malaysia : Jul-11

This June we took another short break in Malaysia... We started off with one of the highly recommended Bak-Kut-Teh in JB before we headed off to Malacca and A'Farmosa. This time, we have a personal swimming pool in a bungalow, something we never try before. As usual, the kids enjoy the swimming utterly, and the adults enjoy the good food and moment from our usual chores and work.

Qiqi acting in Literature Project : Jul-11

During this June holidays, Qiqi and her team have a literature project based on the famous Williams Shakespeare "The Merchant of Venice". I did not know much about her project until she approaches me for help in editing her videos. Interestingly they have cast the play in their nicest modern outfit, so that everyone can remain 'modern', like Qiqi with her spectacles. Qiqi has two roles in the play, Jessica and Salanio. Although I don't really know the story, she seems 'wayang' enough to fit the roles. As bonus, I also created a trailer for Qiqi to remember her first act. Trailer Her Project...
