Belt Presentation Ceremony

It was an exciting Sunday (Oct 2, 2011) for us as Jules has just completed his first Aikido grading and we were full of anticipation on the belt colour he would be awarded. It was in this mood that we made our way to his school located at Tan Boon Liat Building.

Monthly Highlights

It has been ages since I last updated my blog and thought it was about time I posted an entry, especially when this was meant to be kind of an online journal. Since I am so awfully backdated, a monthly highlight should easily bring me up to date, so here goes …

Camp @ Underwater World Singapore

In an adventurous attempt, 3 families decided to participate in a 2 day 1 night camp organized by the Boys’ Brigade at the Underwater World Singapore. The kids were very excited, naturally, but the mommies and daddies were the brave ones as they had not camped in this manner for close to 20 years …!

The LPN Art School

This afternoon (June 6, 2011), Jules wanted to do some art & craft after his haircut at Junior League and so I brought him to the LPN Art School at Suntec Level 3. Suddenly remembering that our family will be out of town during Father’s Day, I got Jules to do an “advanced” Father’s Day gift for Papa.

After going through the assortment of on-the-spot craft workshops available @ $30 per child, Jules finally settled on canvas painting. It was a first for him … and for me too!

APNReceipt for $30!

He started by doing a draft of the picture he wanted to paint on the canvas – a family portrait with a smurf-looking house complete with furniture, sun (in glasses!), clouds and tree!

Thereafter, under the guidance of the art instructor, he proceeded to paint on the canvas and topped off with some clay craft as the finishing touches. Voila, the picture was finally done after about an hour’s of hard work! It was a job well done!
