Craziest things I have done during this haze period

1) Air purifiers


I been googling on the functions of air purifiers and was convinced that I should invest on one given our cough history and the current hazardous conditions. I went asking for air purifiers yesterday afternoon,  after having kept myself in the house for the last  2 days. To my surprise, stores like courts, harvey norman and best denki confirmed to me that air purifiers were completely sold out islandwide. To my other surprise,  best denki called me at 7pm last night and told me stocks came back in. We went down to compass point and bought 2 of these - it was not the model that I have placed my order but I took them nonetheless. 

2) Gui Lin Gao
 We love eu yang sang gui lin gao so I stock them up to combat the adverse hot climate

3) Face masks
I ended up queuing for face masks tonight when I chanced upon the fact that there are stocks available in the mall the boys are having their lessons. It took me 45 mins and  the pharmacy could only sell me 2 n95 (duck shape) + 10 pieces surgical masks!

4) crazy image
I got stared by many in my office area when I was one of the rare ones who started wearing face masks on Tues in town area.

5) windows
Because both ethan and myself came down with fever on tues, we couldn't turn on the aircon for the past few nights and yet I persisted in closing almost completely shut for the past few nights.

Wonder what other crazy things I will do next. I am reacting this way, all in the name of motherhood. .

Tim Ho Wan

As we had a late breakfast this Sunday morning (term break week for Berries), we decided to try Tim Ho Wan at Plaza Sing for our lunch after piano lesson at 12 plus.

By the time we reach P.S, never did I expect that we spent almost 1.5 hours queuing to get into this restaurant to try out the all famous Michelin star dim sum menu..

The food was nice, but limited range.. nonetheless, though we ordered about 11 sets of dim sum, they were sufficient to keep us full till 7plus this evening..

Given the time needed to get into this restaurant, it is highly unlikely we will come back next time, unless the waiting time reduced to less than half an hour..

(the boys were waiting for their 2nd round of serving by playing with our gadgets)
 

Movie outing - City Square Mall - 7th Jun 2013

I decided to bring my boys out for a movie trip on my scheduled off last Friday to catch 'Epic' at City Square mall. It was our first time visiting this cinema (as vivo was way too far for me to travel to and fro via public transport).

The boys enjoyed the show (as usual, with popcorns) and hang out at Metro toys section for almost an hour.. I took a snapshot of Caden with the Monsters.inc characters:
 
 
When I have a chance, will change his facebook profile pic with this..

2013 LSK sports day - 19th May

We were invited to the annual LSK sports day to give some support for our dear son. He has been keeping the to-do tasks quite secretive and we were not able to fish out what he needs to do on that day.

We made it a point to reach the school earlier this year. But the crowd control traffic officer did not quite manage the queue and we ended up sitting on the second row despite being just within the top 20 range in the queue.

Anyways, I managed to get a clear view from my seat and here's what I could capture using my Note II:

Partner bounced the ball
 
He dribbled for a distance and bounced back to the next in queue
He entered into the next station and used a bat to hit the target which was hung on a rod
 

 
And he got it in his first attempt
He jumped over a hurdle like obstacle:
 
He then had to balance himself with a balancing board

And lastly did a hula loop with his partner
 
The sports day event ended quite early that day as there was a fund raising event scheduled. Back in his classroom, the children were doing some fund raising activities for St. Luke Hospital

With his mini-me friends..

We went round the classroom and saw our dear son being nominated by 3 classmates as their best friends


 
 It's quite a refreshing sight for us to know that he's well-liked by his classmates. We will have one last trip back in this school at the end of the year for his graduation ceremony and year end concert.
