Shin Yang's Birthday : Oct-12

This year Shin Yang's birthday happened to fall on a Sunday and also coincident with our October discussion meeting.   We wanted to keep this event hush-hush and celebrate within the family after the meeting. However, our fellow comrades secretly prepared a birthday surprise for Shin Yang. After our meeting ended, Qiqi came out of the kitchen holding a lighted up cake. Everyone then started to sing the birthday song for shin yang. What a heart warming gesture! Shin yang was almost touched to tears.

Turning coins to bicycles : Oct-12

After dropping my daily unused coins into the wooden box for almost two years, it is time to 'harvest' the savings.  Initially my intention is to use the coins to upgrade our iPad, but after our fun time cycling at Punggol park, I changed my mind to 'exchange' them with two bicycles instead.  So there we have our new toys, a blue lady bike and a black mountain bike.
