Mummy's birthday 2017

We celebrated my birthday in 2 events,  firstly having dim sum on a Saturday prior to the actual day.  We had it at Peony Jade Keppel Club and the dim sum buffet was delightful. Ethan didn't eat much of the dim sum as usual but he had a fair share of their delicious fried rice. Needless to say,  3 of us had a super full lunch.

We were so hungry during the first round and forgot to take the steamed dim sum pictures.. Here's the fried selection we ordered

Braised duck wings for me as usual

So hard to snap a proper pic

After desserts which was so nice as well.. Lil Ethan was full of smiles

My actual birthday fell on a mid week,  and happened that it's my working day.  So we had decided to take dinner at Waterway Point since Caden has not completed his homework for the day and DTF can serve fast. Good dinner as usual and kids were happy since they get to play our phones in between.

I opted for small cake for pragmatic reasons

One of the gifts I wasn't expecting..  The last bouquet was given 16 years ago and the choice of flowers did not change after all these years 😂😂😂

Best of the June holidays - 2017

We both made efforts to bring the kids out to various places in the last 4 weeks of June holidays and here's what we have covered

1) National Gallery

Spot the boy

'Admiring' at a painting that was worth more than a million dollars

Standing on the top of a pillar

Making funny expressions while queuing to get into an exhibition gallery

Fun!

Took us about 40 minutes to get into the exhibition which lasted only 8 minutes

2) Army Open House 

 3) Argentina vs Singapore soccer match

Not disappointed when Messi eventually didn't play

Good view from their seats

4) Wild Wild Wet

5) cycling at Coney Island 

Can't hang out at the beach as there were too many wild monkeys surrounding humans waiting to be fed

There were some bracket fungi on the logs

This school holidays seemed to pass very quickly, the boys have had their share of fun and relief from the school work load this month. I think very soon, we will all get stressed up over the upcoming Prelims and PSLE timelines and hopefully my dear son can start to step up his gear to work alot harder.
