Migrating again

Hi! We are moving the blog over to http://supersengs.wordpress.com/ as it can consolidate everything from all our blogs (even from way back in 2005).

Wordpress does not have irritating pop-up ads and allows mummy to blog from her iPhone so you can expect to see more updates regularly.

See you over at our new site! =)

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year from the Seng family!

Gerald's 6th birthday

Updating the post with some photos of Gerald's 6th birthday.

A special dinosaur cake was ordered for his birthday.

Gareth jumping for joy when he saw is Chuggington Train Set Present! =)

Next, he had a celebration with his classmates with a special cake in the shape of a train with candies inside. (You can tell what he loves by now right?)

His special cake... kids are so lucky nowadays.

I took leave to take the cake to school on his birthday. =)

Here is a clip of this friends singing him a birthday song. Can you see how he is thoroughly enjoying the attention?

Lastly, he had a World Cup Birthday party with our cell group since his birthday coincided with the WC season which is only once in 4 years. We had lots of yummy "stadium food" and a soccer field cake this time.

All the yummy food.

Our little baby has grown into a little boy with a big personality with very strong views of his own. May God bless him and guide him and we pray that he will grow in wisdom and stature, in favour with God and men.

Gerald's Yamaha Class Concert

Whenever the children finish 1 textbook in Yamaha JMC, the teacher will hold a class concert just to let the kids perform what they have learnt to their parents.

Here's a compilation clip of Gerald's performance.

Active Locomotive

My little Gareth is super active. He is always running and jumping around. Getting him to stay still and pose for the camera is a very difficult task. Here are some recent pics taken during our church camp. I was training him to pose for the camera.

Trying very hard to stay still.

Weepy from being scolded for jumping around too much.

Laughing at the camera the next moment.

Tinkling the ivories

Gerald has been going to Yamaha for keyboard lessons for almost 1.5 years now. He can play fairly well and I can no longer catch up with him in terms of playing. Now I only know the theory and supervise practice sessions theoretically when in the past, I could demonstrate the right thing to do. Hope he will go on to accomplish some grades in piano after finishing the Yamaha JMC. Here's a video of him practising for his class concert.

Church Camp 2010

The family went to Malaysia's Klana Resort for the annual church camp from 10-13 June. It was a good time of hearing God's Word and pondering the theme, "Thirsting for more of Him". The kids had a great time too. Gerald kept asking to go to "Sunday School" everyday as he really enjoyed the company of his little friends.

Gerald Singing In Church Performance

The kids at church gave a short performance as part of the Parents' Day Service. Gerald is so excited that he could not stop moving!

Praus Cell Retreat

Long time have not blogged due to the busyness of work and life. Here's attaching a slideshow of our cell retreat.

Earth Hour

We decided to take part in Earth Hour as we did in the previous year. Ordered pizza and switched off all the lights. The boys had fun trying to blow out the candles lit around the house. Gerald is more aware of what is happening and he can tell you about why we all should recycle (courtesy of Charlie and Lola). Gareth is still just having fun. He made us sing "Happy Birthday" for almost half an hour cos he associates candles with cake and birthdays.

My camera has powerful flash... the lights in the house are all OFF!

Gerald sweating it out cos the fan was switched off too.

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. =)
