31 Mar 2022 - Javier turns 13!

Today is Javier's 13th Birthday.  We ordered an ice-cream cake from Swensen's, which is one of his favourite.

He has grown pretty tall now and he finally caught up with Jerlene.  Gone were the days when I can still carry them.  Really missed those days.

Anyway, they will always be my precious and may all your wishes come true!  :-)

29 Mar 2022 - Dinner at Good Bites @ Bishan Sports Hall

After picking Javier up from MOELC, we drove to Bishan Sports Hall which is just next door.  Tracy introduces us to a restaurant called Good Bites which served pasta, burgers, baked salmon, thai dishes and many more.  We did not make a reservation as we did not know this place is so popular.  We waited for about 20 mins before we got a seat in the cafe.

The dishes are great and below were what we ordered.

In 2 days' time, Javier will turn 13 so this is an early birthday dinner for him!  :-)

26 Mar 2022 - Tim Sum Lunch at Clan 7 Restaurant @ New Tech Park

We wanted to try some new place for our lunch today and I decided to take a look at New Tech Park @ Lorong Chuan.  I heard from colleagues that there are quite a number of good dining place there.  The place has a very huge carpark which is very empty during weekend.  Though it's a business building, the eating place is like a little mall.  We walked one round and decided to go for Tim Sum at Clan 7 restaurant.  This restaurant looks a bit "high class" but the price is quite ok, after the 40% discount for Tim Sum with a min spend of $40.

After lunch, we bought some drinks from FiNE Tea (找茶!) before driving home.  Another makan place checked!  :-)

18 Mar 2022 - Lost Escape Room and Golf

We had some great fun today before school holidays end in a few days' time.  First we had an adventure at Lost Escape Room where we tried out the game "Exodus".  We spent 60 mins trying to escape from one room to another using our observational skills, analytical and logical reasoning as well as lateral thinking.  Eventually we were at the last puzzle before the 60 mins was up.  It was really fun.

After which, we went to Punggol Golf Range to hit some balls.

As usual, our dinner was at the TenderBest restaurant located just next to the golf range.  We were there quite early but the place was filling up with people very quickly.

Now that our nation is slowly moving into the endemic phase, hopefully we will be able to travel overseas in the next school holiday.  :-)

13 Mar 2022 - Taking 3rd dose of booster jab

Both Tracy and myself had already taken our booster jab.  Jerlene and Javier will be taking theirs today at Serangoon North CC.  I registered for them today because it's the start of the 1-week March school holiday.  So even if they feel unwell the next few days, we will not be missing any lesson.

After the vaccination, I brought them to a nearby cafe (Kooks Creamery) for some ice-cream.  We passed by this place many time but have not tried it till today.  As we were all very anxious to try out the ice cream, we missed the chance to take some pictures of it.  By the time we realized, it's all very messy.  Lol....

27 Feb 2022 - Driving through flooded road

It was pouring heavily in recent days and today seems the worst.  While we were driving home from our lunch place, we passed by a road where the water level went above the center of our car's wheel.  We had to drive very slowly through that stretch of road.  It's the first time Jerlene and Javier had experienced such a "ride".  

27 Feb 2022 - Covid Positive in our household

Tracy was tested positive this morning after having flu symptom.  Immediately, the rest of us (Jerlene, Javier and myself) proceeded to do our own ART test and fortunately, we were all tested negative.

Tracy then started her isolation in the bedroom.  For the coming week, we will all be wearing masks at home when walking around.  As Jerlene and Javier are worried that they may get infected, they have decided to wear masks even while sleeping.  :-)

14 Feb 2022 - Valentine Day's Lunch

Both Tracy and myself were pretty busy at work recently but today we managed to take a short break for our Valentine's Day lunch @ Wimbly Lu.  We have come here quite a few times in the past and we both love the dishes.

Happy Valentine's Day to ALL!

12 Feb 2022 - Mom's Birthday

Today is my mom's birthday and we had a small celebration at my sis's place.  Due to the current covid restriction, I alone was there representing my family.  Hopefully all these restrictions can slowly be relaxed as we moved into the endemic phase.

9 Feb 2022 - House Warming after much delay

We had a long overdue house warming session at our colleague's place.  Finally we got to meet up and had lunch together after almost 2 years.

6 Feb 2022 - Bird's Eye View of TJC

This afternoon I went 拜年 at my cousin's place which is opposite of Javier's current school, TJC.  From the living room, I was able to have a good view of the entire school compound.

31 Jan 2022 - Reunion Dinner

Today is CNY eve and we had our reunion dinner, which is a yearly event, at our place.  As per every reunion dinner, LouHei is always a must!  Huat Ah!  :-)

Wishing all Happy CNY in advance!  恭喜发财，身体健康，万事如意!

29 Jan 2022 - Lunch at Soek Seng Bicycle Cafe

We decided to find a new dining place for our lunch today and Soek Seng Bicycle Cafe came to our mind.  We have read about this place on social media quite a lot but have not tried it till today.  It is located right next to the Seletar Airport runway.  We spent a while looking for it as we missed a small road leading to the cafe.

It was not crowded at the time when we were there.  From the cafe, we were able to look out of the cafe for a nice view of the runway.

Following were some dishes that we ordered.

Since it's called a Bicycle Cafe, it's not a surprise to see bicycles and accessories all around the cafe.

As we are still in a pandemic when international borders are mostly closed, we did not see any plane taking off or touching down on the runway.

26 Jan 2022 - Beautiful Dawn

Nice morning sky.  Wishing all a great day ahead!  :-)

25 Jan 2022 - Jerlene's 15th Birthday

My little princess is turning 15 today!  So that means I've been blogging for 15 years!  What an achievement!  :-)

After picking up Javier from MOELC, we drove to Junction 8 for our dinner.  We had our meal at Watami Japanese Restaurant.

After dinner, we bought an ice-cream cake from Swensen's and went home for a mini celebration.  Happy Birthday, Jerlene!
