My poor baby

On Tuesday, Luke took Gerald cycling and the poor baby fell down from his bike (the son, not the husband). He got some pretty bad abrasions on his face. My poor baby!!!! His handsome face!!!! I hope it won't leave any scars. Today at church everyone kept asking Gerald what happened to him. I think he answer until he is quite fed-up. Haha. I should have just stuck a notice on him that read "I fell down while riding my bike. It's all Daddy's fault!"

Look at poor Gerald... so heart pain!

Classics in the Park

Had a relaxing evening with the boys in the Botanic Gardens listening to SSO playing classical pieces. The boys had fun blowing bubbles.

2 loving brothers (when they are not fighting over toys).

Happy Gerald.

Picnic at Botanic Gardens

May is a super hot month and it is a good time for picnics. Time for the boys to get close to nature, after being surrounded by concrete most of the time. So when the SSO held a free, open-air concert at the Botanic Gardens, we packed up a lot of stuff and went for a picnic with our cell group.

Let me taste the strawberry!

Mmmm... sausage bun!

It was a great day!

Beach Boys

Not exactly at the beach but just thought the boys looked really cute with the sunglasses. We are just going for a swim at the neighbourhood swimming complex. =)

Easter Sunday

I tried to make Easter fun and relevant for the boys.  Besides going to church and explaining to them the concept of Jesus dying for our sins, we also did some not so Christian things like baking Easter cookies, hot cross buns and painting easter eggs.

Not a bad attempt. =)

Lazy Sundays

The kids are usually bored on Sunday afternoons so I took them to the field nearby to cycle and look at kites. Kite flying is quite the in-thing at the little corner of Singapore where we stay and there are lots of families, from various parts of Singapore who come here to fly their kites. There are big, professional stunt kites to watch too.

Gerald really enjoyed cycling and working off his abundance of energy. Gareth preferred walking and running. The problem is keeping an eye on both of them so they won’t run or cycle onto the road. It wasn’t easy even with 2 adults. =)

Earth Hour 2009

The Seng family decided to participate in Earth Hour 2009 by switching off our lights, air-con, TVs and computers from 8.30pm to 9.30pm on Saturday night. We ordered pizza and had a meal by torch and candlelight. Then we played the guitar and sang children songs with the boys for a while. The 1 hour was over very quickly. We have done our little part to combat global warming and also bonded with the kids.

Me and the boys at 8.30pm. It looks quite bright cos my camera's flash is quite strong. The house is actually pretty dark.

Gareth playing with the torch lamp. He turned it into a strobe light and gave me a headache.

Gerald and Luke enjoying pizza by candlelight.

We realised that we take a lot for granted as at some point of time, I unconsciously reached out my hand and almost pressed the light switch as I went into the kitchen to wash my hands. Gerald had to go to the loo with a torch. He kept asking, "Mummy, can you maybe turn the lights on?" It also struck me how we assume that there will be light when we press the light switch and there will be water when we turn the tap. I was also rushing to finish some work on my laptop before the hour started. How will we function if we run out of fossil fuel to generate electricity one day? Must learn to use less so that we can sustain the earth longer for our children.

Gareth trying to read in the dark. Hope he will always be so hardworking... hee, hee~

The boys also rode on their bikes, crashing into the gate, which has light streaming in from the corridor.

Message from our supportive cell leader. =)


Took the opportunity to brush up some photography skills.

Earth Hour ended for us on the dot as Gareth spilled a cup of coke on the floor at 9.30pm sharp and we had to turn on the lights to clean up the mess!

We'll do it again next year!

Bradshaw's Shadows

I took Gerald to a Children's Festival Performance. It is a shadow show and it was really good. Gerald enjoyed himself and so did I.

Started the day by taking photos with daddy.

Take photo with mummy too as we arrived too early.

The shadows were very life-like and the whole performance was filled with songs, stories and was very interactive. I thoroughly enjoyed myself. =)

6th Wedding Anniversary

It seems not so long ago that we were just married and was busy setting up our own place. In a flash, we have been married for 6 years and have 2 adorable boys. =) Happiness is being with those you love and who loves you back. =D

We celebrated by going out for a buffet meal... yummy!

Look at the array of delicious food. Can guess where we went?

Acutally, both Luke and I are small eaters so we go to buffet very "bo hua". But just go for the ambience and experience. Hee~ Here's to more good years ahead.
