Surprised 26th Birthday Party for the Twins



Miao and Family have been planning for our twin's birthday party since 2 weeks back. It was supposed to be a secret... but knowing my family that shares everything under the sun... it was really a tough job for Miao to keep it as a secret. Anyway, it was supposed to be a small gathering just the youngsters but end up the whole family was involved... haha the whole story was really amusing....
It all started out as Miao supposed to fetch me at 3 plus and we would go to ECP for blading... but he was very late (he insisted that his parents used the car... so we have to wait for the car to come back before we can leave). When he finally came at 540pm... he said that the weather forecast said that ECP was raining... so we would go to Pasir Ris Park instead. All went well until I was in the carpark where I met Darren... Was shocked to see him there... but all fell into place when he asked me where is the BBQ pit.... Hahah!! It was really a joke.... so you see...the surprise was a BBQ party with all my family members.... The plan was for us to blade pass them and then SURPRISE! Haha but too bad at the very last moment the whole secret gave way! HAHAHAH!
Well, we had a great time BBQing... Thanks Aunt Lili and Aunt Kim for all the preparations of the food... Thanks Hanjie for the cake and Thanks ALL the cousins for the "SURPRISE PRESENT" Woooah!! It was really a fantastic present... take a look at the photo later.... EFFORT MAN! It was a very nice surprise... soo happy to have all the family members there to celebrate together... luckily the weather was kind too... the rain stopped just in time... Thanks to Miao for planning it... He took leave to prepare all the stuff leh.... GREAT JOB! :)

Teacher's Day Dinner 08 - Livelyhood

We had our Teacher's Day dinner at Bliz Restaurant in Expo this year. It was a busy busy day in school where there was a mad rush of lessons, collection of gifts from children and performance for the teachers. For the past few days I was very very busy with the lucky draw gifts... wrapping them, labelling them and then finally loading them to be sent over to Expo for the dinner... Tough job man!
We were all dressed for the occasion in different occupation... See the photos then you will see the creativity of all our colleagues haha! There were many many doctors - some surgeon, gynae etc etc, we have Oscar Best Actress... CSI Agent.... Farmer... Pilot... Hairdresser... even Ballerina... Anyway the highlight of the night was the grand entrance by the Staff Welfare staff ( i.e. us) by serving the first dish to our colleagues. You know we were quite "Porfessional". We borrowed the vest from the restaurant and then even follow the whole sequence of having the music and lights off etc... it was super funny and all the colleagues were amused by us. Raf and Yanhan also came back to help us with the MCing... Luckily they were there... Yanhan really livened the whole night with his lame but funny jokes...
Played the Angel and Mortal Game...My angels were Uncle Lee and Mrs Thenna... Really loved their gifts... nice food and cute stuff... will keep it in school for all to see... Wishing all the teachers in the world a Happy Happy Teachers' Day!

Backdate to ET's Farewell

Can't really remember the day we did the farewell for Eileen. But it should be before 10 Aug, sometime in Jul. Anyway her "gang" of frens organised the farewell for her and called many colleagues to the party at Civil Service Club in Changi. We had a fun BBQ... poem recital for her... cake cutting session for Xuanyin (cos its her bday)... and many many photo taking sessions with ET before she leaves for Hong Kong International School. She will be there for 3 year and we are all going to miss her... Wishing her all the best there! Remember to keep in touch....

A Weekend of Family Bonding



Luo is back from China Shanghai... he went there for internship at Uncle Mia Kuang's office... Decided to go for KTV finally (it was pushed back since Jul, if I dun remember wrongly). Wanted to go to this Chinatown $10 Family KTV... but it was totally full house... so we made do for Partyworld just across the road.
We had a good time laughing at Luo who had similar singing techniques as Zai Zai (that F4 guy) haha! They really sounded the same... seriously, with pitch there but not really there... if you noe what I mean... Had a fantastic time singing Gu Ju Ji's very very long medley of songs which was really quite difficult to sing as there is no warning when the new song starts...
Went to Yijia's place later that night to support Team Singapore's Table Tennis girls in trying to get the GOLD medal for Singapore. They fell under the strong China team... but I guess they had done their best and deserves our cheers. The Chiang, Loh and Png family also gave CK a surprise by getting a cake for him... it was Mango cake... not a favourite among the kids... end up the adults took double share... fattening man!
A day with the family... Had a great time together... Always treasure our great family ties... Luo leaving for US again this Friday. Wishing Luo all the best in New York this time... have fun doing Masters... and yah... come home soon! :)

Miao's 28th Birthday Presents - Effort Man!

It was Miao's birthday tomorrow. But we both decided to celebrate it yesterday. The surprise for him was the Gundam that I bought for him. But this time different. I even build the Gundam for him... not bad for a beginner cos I finished it (with my sis help) in 2 days. Pls take a look at the pictures... You will be impressed haha! *ok I am abit proud... fine!*
Of cos it was not very well-done cos he told me last night that he had finished "repairing" the Gundam... some sides up-side down. Haha! Fine! I am not very good at this kind of things... have problem visualising the sides... Anyway, I am glad he loves it and it is up on the shelf with the rest of his collections.
Also got him an orange polo tee... he was overwhelmed by the colour, saying that it will be a perfect shirt to be kept till Chinese New Year to be worn... haiz!
Well, we had dinner at Raffles City Shukoda (eh... not sure if this is the correct spelling) Its a Jap Mache-like restaurant.... not bad the food! It was a simple celebration but I guess it's the thought that counts... Happy 28th Birthday Miao! (You are old man already! Wahahah~)

Little Breaks in the month of August
August came and it is now almost the middle of the month. In the beginning of the month we celebrated National Day. It was a Friday, we had half day so went out with a bunch of colleagues for Taiwan porridge, pool, bowling and special food at Mrs Chow's place. So great to have some time to mingle with those friends in school. We hardly had time in school... It was holiday in lieu on Monday. Did nothing except to relax at home and get ready for the new week. The following week was short too. Only had 2 days of school. Hurriedly went through the important things in the syllabus, returned all the books to my children for CA2 revision... then came the 2 days holiday for PSLE oral. Not a holiday for me as I have to go out of school to test the children from other school. It was a great experience. Getting to know other schools' teachers and their pupils. I was worried about the complicated procedures to look out for but glad that all went well. Worked half day for both days. Had a little break and spent some time to make something for Miao... His bday coming.... surprise surpise!!
