My children at Ikea Tampines

Finally back to updating my blog. It had been a busy month for me, with so much work to finish. Now, at last the holidays are beginning to shine brightly over the horizons. The picture of my kids at Ikea last week. Went there for dinner and also wanted to see the new Ikea megastore in Tampines! It's really huge and well designed for customers to shop comfortably. My kids entertaining themselves at a games console erected for just that purpose!

Samuel on his horsey!! Wow his looks like a darn good jockey!

Look who is that!? Its really Samuel, my darling boy, riding on his horse! He is looking really cool man. Oh my goodness, he is simply the most wonderful jockey I have seen!

Samuel going for horse-riding at Pasir Ris park!

After the Sentosa trip, we had a nice lunch and headed for Pasir Ris Park. I heard from my colleague that there is a new kids attraction down at the Pasir Ris Park next to a burned out ghostly looking bicycle kiosk (heard that it was struck by lightning and was blown to bits!) It was certainly scary sight. Well, next to it is the new horse riding stable where kids can rent a horse and ride on it..yes even newbies like my samuel! He is looking so smart in this pic as he waited for his turn on the horsey...

Visit to the Underwater World at Sentosa..

Picture I had taken from the Underwater World at Sentosa! Took both my kids and my wife to Sentosa yesterday on Labour Day holiday morning. I guess we were there too early since we found out only when we reach there that the Underwater World opens at 10am. We were there at about 9:15am.. So we took a slow walk along the Siloso beach next to it until it opens. Here's a pic I took of the 3-D image of JAWS. Wow, its is really scary, and I was delighted that I could capture it in my handphone camera.. Had a really great morning visiting Sentosa....Then to our next destination!

Thru the "EYES" of my dearest Samuel

It has been a long while since I last posted on my blog. And it has been even longer since I posted pictures of my two dearest children on the blog. It has been due to my lost IR device...I thought my daughter might have misplaced it. Yeah, if you knew, it wasn't easy for me to find another one that is cheap. Then, out of the blue my daughter took it out for me from nobody knows where just now. Here's the pic of my son (eyes only) showing a big smile on his face knowing that daddy can finally upload pics of him again. I am equally excited about it as well and my fingers were typing really fast on this post.

Discovery Channel - Hollow Earth theory.

Seems that some supernatural beings live in the centre of the earth. Take a look!

The Ocean Floor of Busselton Maring Reseach Lab

As promised, this are pictures of the Busselton Research Lab's ocean floor. Spectacular view and really felt I was walking at the bottom of the ocean!


Picture taken from another view. See the starfish?


This is another view of the ocean floor. The wooden stilts that props up the research lab in the ocean are covered with corals and plant life. Did you notice a free-ranged blacked stripped fish in the picture?

I lost my IR Device..

Dear friends, thank you for your patience and 'pressure' to get me to update my blog. To be honest, I have been super busy over the last few months. Getting on to the internet is a luxury for me and to be able to blog makes heaven. It feels so good to let you know of the latest happening in my life and of my two little sweetie kids. But work just came rushing on me like Tsunami. Thank God I made it to the term break.
I have a lot of pictures taken using my ever handy handphone, but I lost my IR device I used to upload pictures from the phone. Must have been the hectic lifestyle I led that everything just go missing after a while. Sigh, I am going down to the ComDex IT Show at the Expo to buy a new IR device.
Thank you again and I will fill you up with more pics when I return k! Yeay! One WEEK holiday is here!

Happy Lunar New Year!

Gong Xi Fa Cai! Happy Lunar New Year! This is a significant event for billions of Chinese people around the world. The story goes when an ancient monster long time ago known as "Nian" which means "The Year" in Chinese often attacked and killed many villagers in China. Nobody could stop the hideous beast but to just run away fearing their lives.
Then one day, an ancient wise sage appeared to the villagers and was told that "Nian" was about to attack again. The wise sage came from the deep forests in China and he thought he might want to test and defeat the beast to save the lives of many. So, true to the warning, "Nian" attacked one night.. This time, the villagers have the wise sage with them, who immediately jumped to action. He rode his horse and fought with the beast. Fortunately, he was able to trick the beast into his forest where he was stronger there and eventually defeated "Nian".
The wise sage came back to the villagers and told them that "Nian" has been defeated and will not trouble the villagers again. But, he warned that during every lunar new year, the villagers must put up red banners and lanterns on their houses. They must also light firecrackers and perform lion dances. These, he said, would frighten the beast away and will therefore not attack them. The wise sage found out about this after defeating "Nian".
Where is "Nian" today? It was said that the beast still remained in the deep forest under the guard of the wise sage. But sometimes, the beast do escape....

Happy Valentines Day!

Dear lovebirds, I wish you a wonderful Valentine's Day..I was once like you, young, much in love, found the girl of my dreams, and went after her with all my guts. And it was during this special day, the Valentine's Day, that I asked for her special grace, to be mine...
I hope that you will also find the love of your life, nevermind if its an infatuation, or a crush, just go for the stars, because you never know, that he or she could be the love of your life....

Samuel at the playground...

My dear Samuel enjoyed himself thoroughly at a local playground. There were nobody around and he had the entire playgound to himself. Unlike Singapore, Perth is not very densely populated and there are still many areas that are yet to be developed. But the scenery is awesome...

Super long bridge to the ocean floor...wow

This is the very long jetty found at Busselton. It measures some three kilometres from the beach and leads to a marine research lab that is built into the ocean floor. Its three storeys deep and we stood right at the bottom of the ocean. The jetty looks quite scary because there isn't safety railing on one side of it and the wind speed was pretty strong! More pictures of the ocean floor to come!

Daddy and Sandra..

That's me and my dearest daughter in a park while we stopped over for sightseeing. We were on our way down to Mandura, a city that's about a hundred kilometres south of Perth city. The scenery was so beautiful and we saw many wild seagulls having a great time frolicking in the vicinity.
This picture was taken by Samuel and he was really good at it..

Sandra on her first day in Perth..

It was the first day of our tour in Perth, Australia. And our first breakfast in a pie bakery known as 'Miami Bakehouse'. This shop is reputed to be one of the best australian pie bakeries in western australia. So we went over to give it a try. And its really yummiee...my children, especially my daughter has a strong sense of taste and would reject food if they are according to her 'not niceeee'. I guess the pie she ate passed her quality assurance test as she finished one whole pie (about 500g of meat and pastry). Wow...

Dear friends, finally, I got a chance to upload at least one picture of my perth trip last december. This is my favourite picture of my two little angels holding hands as I took the shot. We were going back from the cottage restaurant after a hefty lunch, and they were standing just outside the entrance next to a flowery bush.

They are my angels and I really love them to the core...Enjoy this pic! More to follow!

My Photo Album is back online..

Dear friends,
I know it must have been a long wait for you to see pictures of my cute little kids in Perth Australia. I really loved to put them up for you, but as you already know, my service provider hasn't been keeping its promise to solve my problem soon. It took more than one month for them to fix my "exceptional problem" according to the technical person who called me up last week. Well, it sure is an 'exceptional' problem given that they had to take one month to fix my problem with log-in. According to him, my problem is a unique problem that has only happened to me and my account, so it is really weird I thought.
I hope to put up my kids pictures soon, as right now I am really busy with a lot of work to finish. Thanks for your patience my friends.

It has been over 3 weeks...

..since my paid subscription of photo album service has been down. What is going on?! Their response was always the same, simply "Sorry sir, I will get the person who is in charge of your account to contact you immediately.." I have lodged a complaint email to our national service provider seeking immediate rectifications or face certain ramifications. But I still have no reply from them and not a single phone call back 'immediately'. Seriously, I wonder how they service customers... A good lesson to me that poor..i mean very poor service still exist in our beloved country. I hope someone will do something about it especially it is our national service provider... So in the mean time my friends, please be as patient as I can be, and wait for them to fix the problem. Then I will put up new photos of my trip to Perth with my family, esp. pics of my two cutest darlings. For the religious, please pray with me too...

Ho..Ho..Ho...To all my friends!!

Because I am getting impatient with them yeah..and I am a paying customer too! I pay for bad service? oh dear what am I thinking now.. So please be patient until new photocs of my cute cute kids are up again..from Australia!

PS: Oh Hi Sabri and Keith! Saw both of you in school today, though I was leaving already, but you guys were leaving also I presume. =)

Pictures upload facility temporary down..

Hi friends, unfortunately I couldn't upload any pictures temporarily due to a recent upgrade of my broadband service. So I have to wait until I get a new password from my service provider. Anyway, I have just returned from a short holiday trip to Perth, Australia. It was really enjoyable and memorable. In fact, I have quite a lot of digital pictures to upload esp. of my two little ones when they were in Australia..but for now I can't do anything..Ohhh dear...

Samuel and Sandra taking a ride in a yellow limo..

My dear children taking a ride on the yellow limo.

Sandra watzing to the tune..

My daughter Sandra waltzing to the tune played over the speakers with her favourite toy showing off her dancing ability. She is my sweetest girl and I will love her forever and ever. I hope that she will become a fine young lady in the future.

Samuel and his new pair of snickers..

Samuel wearing his new pair of snickers. He is so happy that mummy finally bought him a nice pair of shoes. It was for the trip to Perth next week. He has never been abroad and I hope he will really love the trip. I still remembered when he asked me when we are going to fly in a plane, and I always told him that one day we will, and it is finally here for him to experience it.

Beautiful Sunset..

What a beautiful sunset it is. Was going out to fetch my children from the childcare centre. Right in front of me is this magnificent view of the source of all energy - the SUN. I seldom notice anymore dark spot / UFO in the sun. I wondered whether other people had seen the black spots in the sun (as in my pics) before...

Samuel and his sunglasses

My son Samuel with his sunglasses on while we went out shopping. We were at Carrefour, Suntec City on Saturday. My dear daughter Sandra is seated in the trolley behind him. Look at him, he's so cool..

Haa..that was me.

Samuel secretly took this picture of me driving and I didn't know about it at all! Saw this pic in my phone then I knew it must have been him (from the angle and position..must be him). So this is how I would normally look like when I am driving the car.. I was going to pick up my wife with my two kids in the car. Pretty cool pic huh?. Very stunning me......heee. Come to think of it, I have been driving for 13 years.

BBQ gathering for the Practicumates..

My fellow practicumates from PYSS. I really miss them a lot. Our camaraderie went back to those special days when we fought together. Anyway, we were all having so much fun at Sherry's condo BBQ area. Next to us was the condo swimming pool. So nice and oh it was also very windy that night! Needless to say, the BBQ fire was quite easy to start with the help from the eastern wind. Do you notice little samuel in the pic? Yeah he was having as much fun as us. He was playing with his little sister. (My wife was there, but she was not in the picture :( ).

Samuel at the bottom of "heavenly stairway".

Samuel was standing at the bottom of the stairway to heaven..I saw a glowing halo surrounding Samuel like those found around an angel who has descended from heaven to help us. So I quickly whipped out my camera handphone and took a shot of him and his 'glow'. Do you notive the 'glow'? This stairway is at The Forum, right in the middle of the complex, but I also think that this stairway has been built to produce a heavenly aura in the shopping complex.

Sandra like a pro!

Can you believe what I see? Sandra is playing the electronic piano!? She is playing three-blind-mice song out of the blue! Genius isn't she? She must be the next child prodigy of Singapore...Haaa, I wish! She is pretending to be like an ex-pert..But who knows..she might just one day be the ONE.

You are my sunshine...

Few hours ago, we were hanging out by my car. Samuel was showing me his stunt - swinging up and down the railing. Whoa, I thought it was so dangerous! But he was just too cute to stop him like the way he looks at me in this picture. My heart melted away as soon as I clicked this pic...I pray in my heart he didn't fell off. haaa he didn't luckily.

Samuel posing like a pro!

And here is Samuel, practicing his master piece for The Forum performance. I hope he could make it to the stage haaa... I was tired coaching him already, so I asked him to continue playing while I took a picture of him. I told him I'm gonna put it on my blog and he was so happy! His meimei is in the background hee hee .. ..

Gone fishing...

Last sunday morning was a beautiful and welcoming day. This is Samuel and his fishing rod. How many hooks can you see? I took my family to the Bedok jetty at east coast park for a whole day fishing. It was really hard to fish for anything, as there were simply too many small fish (babies) in the water around the jetty and they nimbled away all my bait! But we had lots of fun in through it all. I was so sad that I couldn't catch a single 'big' fish to show off to my dearest boy. He was also really excited about catching a fish! But nevermind, I will try again next time... Papa am a good angler by the ahaa...

My dearest cowgirl daughter..

My daughter girl, dressed up in denim jeans dress so cowgirl look! She is simply so sweet and attractive! She still has a bigger right eye right? YEah I thought so, but it made her so much sweeter. Next would be going for Singapore Toddler Idol contest! Is there one?

Samuel looking so fresh in the morning!

Last Saturday morning, its time to go for his violin lessons. His class is going to perform at The Forum for the public at end of Nov. And he is really excited at the thought. I hope he can practice more often to improve his violin skills so that he would not be embarrassed in front of the crowd during the performance. Well, I trust God will be the provider of courage and skills for my dear boy.

My dearest daughter cannot go without a pic!

Near the main foyer of the Vivo City, my daughter loves to have a pic taken of her! You could see the multiple super-fast escalators zipping past behind her. The escalators went in different directions...never seen before in Singapore, Johor and Batam!

He's so happy!

Finally at Vivo City last Saturday morning. It was hard to find a parking lot. Everyone was going to Vivo City to check it out as it was newly opened and it is the biggest shopping complex in the whole of Singapore, Johor and Batam! Haa, I love to see Singapore building the biggest, tallest and greatest buildings in the whole of ASEAN.
My son was jumping for joy when we arrived at Vivo City. He is fully awake and as excited as I am!

He's so tired...

It was 10am on a beautiful saturday morning, but my dearest son is so tired... I really feel very sorry for him. As he had to wake up with me six o'clock every morning. I guess the weeks toiled hard on him..but we were going to Vivo City! Wake up my boy! wake up..

Sandra enjoying a cushion of soft toys..

Can't help taking more pictures of Sandra. She was enjoying herself on a load of soft toys at a shopping mall downtown. Doesn't she looks so adorable!??

Samuel darling close up..

We had morning breakfast last sunday before heading our way to church. Samuel likes to dress up well to go to church, to go to his sunday classes and to meet his toddler friends. Took this shot as he posed a smile at me. He seems to grow up by the day and his baby features are melting away to revealing the boy as he transforms..

My pretty Sandra so tribal!

Here's my sweetest daughter no money can buy. Really love her so much and the more I looked at this pic the more my love for her wells up from deep inside. She is dressed in a lovely pink sleeveless blouse and pants with ribbons hanging from the sides, just like my little tribal princess!

Bad haze in the sky near my home..

Took this picture last sunday. The haze was really bad. On normal days, I could see the Suntec city and CBD area very clearly (even the DHL blip that ascends into the sky over 300 metres). But on this special day, I can only see haze..like the fog the western countries get during colder seasons.. I hope the haze can clear up soon.

No UFO in the sun a day later..

Here is another shot of the setting sun a day later. Taken around the same time as in my previous shot. This time, there is nothing in the middle of the sun. This means that there is nothing wrong with my handphone camera and there is really something up there that appears in the middle of the sun and then somehow it is just not there at all. It might be a satellite in orbit that regularly moved into the middle of the sun (like a solar eclipse) or there is something unknown in the sky.

A black UFO in the Sun?

I have the habit of looking into the setting sun. Don't try too often though as it can be harmful to your eyes. But I just have this habit, because I know that we are not alone. Like this picture taken two weeks ago (didn't have time to blog..due to workload) which I doanloaded here. You can see that there is something in the middle of the sun - a black UFO. Something that a visitor noted the last time in my previous post. There is really something in the sun. Especially with the recent haze problem, I could look better directly into the sun and my handphone camera could also take better shots. I will post another pic on the haze I took from my home.

Petrified wood near my neighbourhood!

Few days ago I was taking a stroll with my kids out near my home and found these strange stones in the garden park. When I took a closer look, I realised they were petrified wood that became stones. Never saw them before there, I think the estate people bought them and put them in the garden. There were a lot of them as you can see. Petrified wood came from prehistoric era (jurassic..sound a bell?) and over millions of years of sand (silicon) deposits into individual cells in the trunk thus forming a stone that looks just like the tree trunk.

Samuel and Sandra at Suntec Food Court

Last Saturday was another family outing. We went to the food court for dinner with my mum and brother. My brother took a picture of my darlings hanging onto the railing while I was eating my dinner. My baby girl simply enjoys every minute of outing with the family. Hey, I realised that my brother's camera phone takes better pics than mine! I need a new handphone! haaa..

Samuel at the viewing gallery T1 Airport

"Daddy, can we go for holidays?" Samuel asked. "I want to sit an aeroplane..." And he kept repeating that last night. I realised that since they came into our lives, we had no time to plan for holidays, and being too small to travel, we hesitated whenever we thought of going on a trip. The good news is now they are old enough, and my baby girl just got her new BIOMETRIC passport! Wow its really cool compared to my own passport. So we are planning where to go in December! yeay!!

Sandra running to dear daddy..

We were at the Changi Airport last night. Its a beautiful place where you can admire the achievements done by our international airport. We were at the viewing gallery terminal 2 and here is Sandra, carrying her pink water bottle, running toward her dear daddy. It was such as wonderful feeling to be with my family at the airport. We saw many expats arriving and leaving our country...I think we have done very well!

Sandra at Macs playing with a drinking straw

Caught this moment and I thought she was so adoring! Look at how she plays with the straw with her mouth. We were waiting until her lesson begins so we had nothing better to do than to play with MacDonald's straws. I hope the branch manger didn't mind us taking so many straws!

Samuel and Sandra going for violin lessons

What a beautiful Saturday morning! Hmm, we are going to The Forum for their music lessons. My dear children totally excited about their lessons they were hurrying us to take them there. See they are carrying their own violin to show how much they want to go.. haaa..

Sandra at Toy R Us

Taken at the Forum Toy R Us store. Was waiting for Samuel to finish his violin lesson. Took Sandra to the forum shopping and she really enjoyed herself fiddling with toys there!

Sandra close up!

I realised that my daughter has got a bigger right eye. This pic was taken when we were at The Forum today. It is clearly seen in this close up shot of her in my arms as I took this pic with my camera hp. I think she is going to be a right-eyed lefty. Yeah! She is a lefty like me..and how I know? Well my wife told me so, but I also had observed that she'd grab anything with her left hand first..My genes expressed. =)

Daddy and Sandra

This picture was taken by my brother when he happened to see me playing with my daughter. I think we were at Tangs downtown. I didn't know he had taken it until he MMSed me. My heart melted totally when I saw this pic, as I saw all the joy expressed in Sandra. I love you my dearest dearest baby daughter!

Tickle Test - Coffee Drink

Here's the result I got from the tickle test quiz on coffee drinks. Thanks Alex the Garfield guy!(2e3) for inviting me to take up the quiz...

Kenneth, your coffee drink is Sweet

A kind and caring soul like you is as warm and comforting as a hot cup of sweet coffee. From parties to book-club meetings to backyard barbecues, you're friendly and welcoming no matter if you're playing host, mingling with guests, or just chilling out with good friends.You've got a big heart, and you're not afraid to share your feelings and let others know how much they mean to you. People know your friendly smile and fun personality can brighten up any occasion. Sound sweet? A dash of sugar is just your style.

Samuel posing for the best shot at the wedding..

Samuel posing happily in front of my HP camera. We were at the Republic of Singapore Yacht Club for my old friend's wedding. In the background is the open air tentage for the wedding ceremony and dinner (buffet style) much to the preference of Europeans in Singapore. I think Samuel was really happy that night, because his 'uncle christof' invited him to the party and he was served with lots of food!!

My ex-colleagues (old friend) wedding...

The time has come for him to finally tie the knot. A few years ago, he'd told me that he would remain single. But love came, the girl of his life crossed path with his, and they fell in love. Christof is a gentleman from Germany, my ex-colleague when I was working as an RA at NUS in the late 90s. Well, they have been seeing each other for a long long time, since the first time I got to know him, but they never mentioned anything about getting married. I'm so happy for them. The pic is a statue of two doves embracing lovingly on top of the symbol of love, carved out of a block of ice. Isn't that amazing?!

Samuel got a hair cut..

Took Samuel for a hair cut in the afternoon at Parkway Parade. And an expensive hair cut too (60% more than a normal cut) from a professional saloon for kids. It was for attending an old friend's (ex-colleague's) wedding tonight. He looked so grown up, oh my God! I would have preferred him with the longer curly hair that made him looked cuter.. But what to do, it has already been cut. And he is all smiles anyway! haaa..

Teacher's Day Celebration...

It was a day to remember...Was my FIRST teacher's day celebration since I began my teaching career as a full-fledge qualified teacher. The students gave so much love to us that day..I was touched beyond the realm of understanding, beyond the dreams I wished for...and beyond everything that I have ever felt in my entire life. Thank you... My emotions took over my sobbing heart, and it overtook my body tiredness...I remembered that very teacher's day morning as I stepped into my form class, and someone ask loudly, "Cher, you looked so tired today!" The last day of Term 3, and I had somehow borrowed energy from tomorrow to stay awake that day...
