Fishing at Kids Kampung

A Great fishing day at Kids Kampong, as we draw near the end of the holidays, we are trying our best to catch up with all the friends. Today, we spent a lovely morning at Pasir Ris, the kids get to enjoy the olden style "logang" (drain) fishing. there were given a very shallow net and the fish proves to be too fast for them. This is until they found a way to corner the fish ;-) We brought home about 30 fish, but will let you know how many are left by tomorrow night.......

They also tried there hands at Rod fishing, once they caught the fish, the uncle will weigh it, for 300g and under, they will get a fighting fish, 300-600g, a little lobster and so on.

Opening of Christmas presents ;-)

What are lovely morning for them, they were so blessed with so many presents.

BTW, this is the first year that we have a probably tree up and it is lovely !

The Trail of Santa

While we were in Perth to visit Kung Kung and PoPo, we visited SantaLand. They had facility for us to email or write to Santa. Both Nigel and Ernest wrote to Santa. Santa told them that he will visit and to leave carrots for Reindeers, and only milk for Santa as Mrs Claus finds him a little overweight.





On the 21st Dec, the boys received a card from Santa Express, in the card, Santa said he has dropped by on the 20th, but since all our windows were locked, he could not leave their gifts. But promised to come back on Christmas Eve.

So tonight, before we went out for Midnight Mass, we left 10 carrots, 1 glass of milk, a Thank you note and the balcony door unlocked.

GUESS WHAT we found when we came back.

Half eaten carrots were scattered over the floor, milk was drank and there were 2 presents left on the table.

There was also a patch of (what look like) saliva on the floor. Must have been from the reindeers.

And since Santa only had 9 reindeers, and we left 1o carrots for them. So Santa took the remaining 1 back for Mrs Claus.


The boys were thrilled and opened their presents, it is Dual Masters Trading cards, which is on the top of their wish list. Something that Mommy refuses to buy for them.






The boys were definitely convinced that Santa and Rudolph have visited, after reindeer droppings have been spotted in the toilet. How well trained they are !!

So did Santa visit you? Have you been good? Or you just don't believe enough?

Merry Christmas to you !!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all !

Just starting this Blog this December, so not the much info yet. Do check back regularly ;-)

Christmas Celebration

This year, we celebrated Christmas a little differently. No gifts exchange, No Santa, No junk food just purely having Christ in us during this season of receiving.

We gathered together to hear about the Prophecy of the light, Annunciation and the Adoration of the Shepherds in the Catechesis of Good Shepherd way. the children got to understand the meaning of the Advent Wreath, and what the 4 candles mean (Hope, Peace, Joy and Love)

Here is a short glimpse on what we did :





We also ended with singing Carols. It was a wonderful fulfilling night, not just gastronomically, but spiritually too ;-)

Pokemom at BPP

Nigel with his School Partner Joan. The show was pretty boring with these alien looking thing dancing to the Christmas Carols. But the kids love it, sigh ! Talk about the Generation Gap.

Tom & Jerry Show at Jurong Point

This has been a very special day, Ernest gets to meet his favourite character at last !! He was so overjoyed.

Family Day at Mayland Wetlands

We were blessed with lovely weather during our 2 weeks in Perth, it was hot, but lovely and dry. A nice change from Humid Singapore.

For only $5 entrance fee for Adult, $3 for kids, we enjoyed unlimited miniature pony ride, face painting and free milo drink.

Strawberries Picking

We spent a lovely sunny morning in Perth to visit the Strawberries Farm, the boys get to try their hands on picking their own strawberries. Ernest really enjoyed himself, picking with utmost attention and doing it all by himself.

The Strawberries were so wonderfully sweet, you can not get them in Singapore. We get to eat them as we pick. But the ones that we take home were expensive $10/kg while other farms are selling at $3/kg.

Nevertheless, it is not something that they can do everyday.
