Singapore - Mar 2008

I went back to Singapore for a week to run some errands as well as celebrated my mom's birthday. Simon stayed in Miri to work, and I didn't bring Jon coz my schedule was tight.

Here's my family. Dad went to bed already so he's not in the photos

My niece Winnie is attending primary 1 this year, and she has very neat handwriting. She had her hair cut short coz it's very thick and it takes quite a long time to prepare her for school.

I had dinner with mr brother-in-laws, Stanley and Darien, and their girlfriend and wife, respectively, Grace and Ee Chiew. We were so hungry that we wolved down our Japanese dinner at Sushi Tei.

Stanley has his own interior design firm called Design Lab. If you need someone to help with your interior design work, please call him on 9144 3099. Here he is in his office at Jalan Telok, opposte One George Street.
I caught up with Chwee, Wen Tan and Wen Kwek. We had a good time over dinner at Cicada at Portsdown Road.

I had yummy lunch with my mom and bro, aunty, and cousins at a Teochew restaurant at Robertson Quay. Thomas did the honours of ordering and he did an excellent job too!

We had had some cakes from Canele to celebrate my mom's birthday.

I stayed at Chwee and Andy's place coz my bro and family moved back to mom's place and it was bit crammed. In between running errands, I spent some time with the kids.
Sophie's getting prettier and prettier by the year14-month old Sarah can feed herself now. Her fav snack is banana star cereals

On Good Friday, I attended service at Wesley Methodist Church and went for lunch at Hong Lim Market with my small group. I had yummy bar chor mee. Again, I was so hungry that I didn't take any photos.After that we caught up over drinks and toast at some coffee shop at Chinatown Point. I miss chatting with them in person.

On the last day in Singapore, I had to leave early for JB to catch my flight back to Miri. Afraid of the traffic jam at customs, I had to leave even earlier. But coz of that, I could join Chwee and hre family for sunrise service at Baker Road Methodist Church.

All too soon, 5 and a half days passed and it was time to return to Miri. Hope to see all of you again soon!
