Not me, it's my 3G 8G iPhone. I have been grumbling to P about the limited space in my iPhone and that I'm running out of space to store more songs, videos and photos. He must have been sick of hearing all my naggings and suggested I sell my iPhone away. He did all the work of taking pictures of my phone and posting the sale on ebay.
I didn't have much hope of closing the deal actually thinking who would want to pay S$450 (or more) for an old iPhone with limited memory space. It took 5 days for the bids to go up and guess what? At the end of 5th day, the deal was closed at S$502.50! My old iPhone was sold!
With the money I received from the sale, I paid an extra of S$6 for another iPhone, a 3Gs 32G. What a superb deal!
Grandparents' Day 2009
We celebrated Grandparents' Day with a fun-filled 1.7km walk from Chinese Garden to Science Centre Singapore this morning. Those who participated in the event were of course none other than grandparents in the family (i.e. my mum and dad), P and I and the 2 kids.
Grandparents' Day is celebrated on the fourth Sunday of November every year. The annual event is organised by the Council for Third Age, an independent organisation that promotes active ageing in Singapore.
If not for my sister who works at C3A, I don't even know we have an official day named and dedicated specially for Grandparents in Singapore.
It was a good workout for everyone. Shannon was truly amazing as she walked the same distance with us. Worried that she might be tired, I wanted to carry her but she refused to let anyone carry and insisted on walking all the way.
With concession rates to IMAX movies on this day for the Grandparents' event, we caught a show "Under the Sea" at Singapore Omni-Theatre. I never failed to enjoy the experience of watching IMAX shows with its dome screen and surround sound systems.

My Sister's Getting Wiser!
We had a small family dinner today to celebrate my sister's birthday. Such family times and gatherings together mean a lot to me, especially now that we all have our own families and living apart and busy with work and 1001 other things....
Can't tell you how old my sister is, else you would know how old I am.
My dear sister, don't worry, you are not getting older, just a little wiser.....

Primary One Orientation
Today was orientation day at Rachel's new school for both parents and new students. Rachel will start her primary one on 4 January 2010. We reached the school at 9am sharp and paid S$10 for an orientation package which consists of information materials on:
- Code of Conduct
- School bookshop, uniform supplier and transport
- FAQs on start date of new year, school hours, proper attire, school fees etc
- Things to bring on 1st day of school
- How can parents help lighten the child's school bag
- Mother Tongue Language
- 2010 Primary 1 Booklist
- 'Joy of Reading' booklet
- 'Healthy Living for Children' booklet
- Report Book
- Stationery
- Name Tag
We were asked to complete and hand in some forms on the spot. The orientation lasted for about 2 hours. As we were leaving the school, we saw that the queue for uniforms and text books were really long. I had to come back another day to buy these and will do it on one of my leave days in the next couple of weeks.
The Jungle Book
It's Play time but not the usual ones! We went to watch "The Jungle Book" today. It was a great performance put up by the Singapore Repertory Theatre's The Little Company. It was much better than I expected from my experience of watching "The Boy Who Cried Wolf". I felt like a kid again, singing, clapping and doing actions along with the actors and actresses.
Rachel enjoyed herself too and told me she wanted to go for another play (Bear and Chicken get ready for school) showing next year as advertised on the jungle book brochure. Shannon missed the fun as she fell asleep half way through the performance because the show time was near to nap time.
I love bringing the children to concerts and theatre shows as I feel this is one way to cultivate their interests in music and arts and build up their creativity and self expression.
