"Wining" At Home...

No it is NOT a typo error for WHINING or WINNING....  It is "WINING" as in WINE with the ING....  heehee.... 


my merlot.....

hmmm....  a young drinker??!!

 from left to right  :  honeysuckle tea, merlot red wine and ribena!!!

HAHAHA!!!....  Got tricked right?.... 

Only I drank the red wine...  Daddy cannot take alcohol, so here he is like a baby and drinking only honeysuckle tea!!!.... 

As for Amanda, NO of course she's not a young drinker!!!  She was just drinking RIBENA from a wine glass.....  HOHOHO!!!!! 

*laughs*

Amanda's New Toy... A Table-Tennis Table

At last Amanda has gotten her Table-Tennis Table!!!  Our plan was to get a larger table, but this was out of stock and needed at least 30 days to arrive...  so in the meantime, we made do with the smaller version.....




table-tennis is daddy's favourite sport... and now he's going to "impart" his skills to amanda....  :))

daddy teaching amanda how to serve...





coaching in progess.... haha... like real!  LOL!!!



We are so happy with this piece of new edition to our furniture...  We can now play table-tennis anytime we want in the comfort of our own house... instead of thinking where to go and what time to book the time slot etc...

A simple table can bring so much joy and happiness to our family....  Ahhh.....  We are so easily contented....  *smiles*

Fun At Jamie's Place

Amanda went for a gathering at Jamie's place at The Hillside, Upper Bukit Timah....  She was very excited about this gathering as she will get to meet all her classmates again (though next year, most of them will be in different classes after the Pri 1 streaming).....


amanda's gift for jamie....  (i make it a point to bring along a gift for the host whether it is a birthday party or just a gathering, as i'm sure every kid loves to receive gifts....)


lovely pool of the hillside condo....  i love the serenity...

a group photo with some of the girls before amanda left...

Amanda left slightly earlier whilst the rest of the girls were playing in the pool as we wanted to send Gu Ma and Gu Zhang off at the airport....  Nonetheless, Amanda had a really enjoyable time with girls......  :))


Sweet Memories With Gu Ma and Gu Zhang...

Gu Ma and Gu Zhang stayed over at our house during the last few days of their stay before they returned to New Zealand...

Saturday.....
We went for buffet dinner at Lotus Vegetarian Restaurant on Saturday night... this place was recommended by Gu Ma and Gu Zhang which we thoroughly enjoyed the food!

amanda and gu ma.....


cheers to good health and happiness!!!

the bittergourd queen....  :)

a stoned look on amanda......  by the way, the konnyaku jelly was delicious... amanda didn't quite like it and i ended up finishing all of it....

fresh and juicy!



the mushroom soup was yummy!


accolades received by the restaurant....  not bad!

Sunday.....
Last minute errands and packing for Gu Ma and Gu Zhang whilst Amanda had a gathering at her friend's house....  Later in the evening, all of us went to fetch Amanda from her friend's place and then we headed straight for the airport...


enjoying their last cuppa singapore KOPI before they boarded the plane....

amanda was famished after all the play at her friend's house... hence she asked for a plate of chicken rice....



BON VOYAGE!!!  We hope you've enjoyed your 3 months' holiday..... 

Till we meet again....  either in New Zealand or in Singapore........
