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.....

Mooncake Festival
It was a fun-filled day for the kids today. We were at the carnival this afternoon and headed for my mum's place in the evening for dinner. Today was also the actual day for mooncake festival (or lantern festival as some called it). My mum had even prepared paper lanterns and sparklers for the children to play after dinner.
Children's Day
We brought the kids to West Coast Park for a belated Children's Day celebration. That was not the original plan. We had wanted to bring them for a bicycle ride and kite flying. When we reached the park, we realised there was a carnival going on in celebration of Children's Day. It was a perfect coincidence as Rachel had fallen ill 2 days ago and had missed the Children's Day celebration in her school.
Elysia is One!
My little niece Elysia turns one today! My sister and brother-in-law held a BIG birthday celebration for her. There were lots of people, lots of balloons, lots of food and lots of children! The function room where the party was held could almost burst!
We had a great time. It was another day of fun time for the kids again!

Shannon turns 2!
Shannon turns 2 on August 11! We held a small family celebration 2 days earlier to celebrate Shannon's birthday, belated birthday for my mum and Singapore's 44th birthday.
Shannon is already joining in the fun that her sister and cousins are having. She wants a share of everything that the older children do. I'm glad she has a group of cousins and sister of close age group to play and grow up with.
Bronson's 4th Birthday Celebration
Today is my little nephew, Bronson, 4th birthday celebration. My sis-in-law held the celebration at my sister's new place by organizing a bbq (a housewarming cum birthday celebration).

The kids are the happiest of all!
Birthday Celebration
I was really fortunate this year to have 3 birthday celebrations: one with my parents and sister's family (1 week advance), one on the actual day with my beloved family and one with 2 very good and close friends of mine since school days.

Party Time
We had a small celebration for Rachel's 6th birthday at home with our immediate family members. There was plenty of yummi-licious food,
prepared by both of Rachel's grandmothers. After everyone gobbled the food (and almost parts of the plates...), the kids got changed for a swim. The weather was just perfect... hot and sunny. As you can see, they were more eager to go for swimming than to eat the cake.

I attended a F1 Race!
How I wish it was real!
Nah...it was my Company's annual meeting event where they shared the Company's results for last year and plans for this year, followed by teambuilding activities and the day was ended off with a Gala dinner. The theme this year was F1 Race for the meeting and F1 Glam for the Gala dinner.
This is my first work experience in a Sales & Marketing environment with S&M people. I must say they are a real bunch of creative, fun-loving, daring, spontaneous, sporting people. They have all kinds of ideas and can do all sorts of funny stuff. What was worth a praise was that the organising committee planned, organize and execute the entire event in-house without engaging any event company, from all the logistics work of sourcing for venue to indoor props design and making, the scripts, skits, speeches, costumes, company results and future plans presented in such a way that synchronized with the F1 theme, show hosting etc etc. So much good work and great effort!
The energy level was really high throughout the whole day. I had a good time too! I think they are all charged up and ready to race off for a better year of achievement! Congratulations for achieving the S$50M milestone!
