Regular bits amid the busy move

Despite all the moving hassle, we still had some family time. Some pictures in about one month before and one after.

Found while packing: Sito's secondary school music project work - Zelda!


We didn't have time to go through everything we packed but those we eventually dumped, we took pictures. A lot of memorabilia that we brought with us are still in their own boxes hiding above wardrobes...

His toy is taller than him!


Ok, now dissemble and pack them into a box! I think their toys took up as many boxes as our books...

Our last time at this playground :(


It's near the coffeeshop at Gangsa/Petir. We walked there with much complaints from Kai. But he got use to it after a while. The prata there was nice even though the maths was weird - five pratas for $5.10?!

Chanced upon BPP mall event - the kids had some fun :)


We miss this mall! So convenient to get to the library and Popular and Redman etc. But I'm ok to not have Ichiban every week haha!

Yang on his way to release his beetle that he raised from a mealworm from school


Kai brought mealworms back from school but they all died... At least this time, one survived. I'm not a fan of beetles but it was a happy moment for Yang and for me to see him so happy :)

Don't ask me why we have so many ice cream sticks!


They wanted details on the parts so we labelled the picture together on Meitu. 

Sito convinced them to try kaiten sushi while I was away cleaning...


And they liked it! All those years staying right above one and we had this just once! Now no more easily accessible kaiten sushi....

Let's see how the ice melts...


We must have Captain Kim one more time before we left BP. We said this was our farewell dinner... But they kids are now still asking for it. Well, there's I Am Kim at Clementi... Celebrate end of exams then!

On another cleaning day, I found them enjoying ramen and karaage


Another place we miss - yummy and such good value. Yang and Yu also like the free flow hardboiled eggs. Yang had three one time; I had to stop him from getting a fourth!

Back at Yee Cheong Yuen


Kai was chatting with Papa while Yang and Yu were chatting away. I was the camera mama as usual, and probably still nursing an ulcer. This time, I had ulcers lasting over a month! Sito figured it was moving stress.

We mostly ate at places within walking distance, as far as Star Vista. When we finally cleared most of the stuff, we started going further out on weekends. First was Clementi - to check out a tuition centre and get specs. Then it was Bishan - for the library. 

What's he laughing at?


Kai's funny expression!


We decided to try Tan Jai Sam Gor. The portions were huge! While we found it yummy, the kids didn't like it as much. But we promised ice cream if they finished as much as they could. We didn't expect that Kai could finish the bowl. Yang was quite ok with the food but he couldn't finish. Yu was whining throughout *.*

The kids found Monopoly Deal while unpacking


I was reading on the sofa when a head popped up!


Now they have their own sofa - no more less fighting!


For some reason, Kai ferried his brothers around one day...


So strong!


Yang is not light anymore. They're all growing so fast... But we haven't got down to getting a new wall decal to measure their height.. Should get that one day soon...

There was a family gathering to mark my Ah Ma's death anniversary so we all went; we missed the one for Ah Gong as we were in Legoland. I realised they were the only kids in their generation that day. 

This time, they were in the house for a long time as it was raining and the playground was wet. They even got familiar with another "uncle" - had to teach them the proper address *.*

Reading while waiting for lunch


Arm wrestling with LY 表舅


Then it became thumb wrestling...


After the first month, we managed to settle down more as the dust settled and the term break ended. Gosh, term break was hard! But more on that later...

It's a rare day that I could sit here with Sito to just write. I shall write more :)
