Dim Sum Dollies - The History of Singapore

We saw their performance on Wed evening and we thoroughly enjoyed it.

I laughed until I cried and I think the attendance that evening was even better than Beauty World, which we saw in Jan 2008 ( not saying that Beauty World is not good in comparison ).

As it was based on the history of Singapore and also recent events locally like Integrated Resort (IR) and F1, we can easily associate with it and the fun made of it.

Jason also enjoyed it though he seems doubtful initially. He is taking History instead of Geography so we urged him to see it with us as it should help him in his studies.

For those of you who missed it, try to catch them the next time round and I bet you will not regret it. Also, please support your local performers.

I am now looking forward to the next concert, We Will Rock You, in early April 2008.

Jack's 1st Birthday Photos

This is a slideshow of photos taken of Jack when he was about 1 year old and Jason, only 4 years old.

That means it is about 10 years ago...!!!

Enjoy it.

Never Too Old To Learn New Stuff

Hi,

Jason was studying for his Social Study test last evening and asked me to do a mock test on him before we slept.

The 2 main topics being tested this morning are Conflicts in Northern Ireland and Conflicts in Sri Lanka.

You know what?

I have been reading news about the Tamil Tigers in Sri Lanka and IRA in UK but I have never looked deep into the causes of their conflicts.

Well, after last night session with Jas, I am now more aware of why the Tamils & Singhalese are fighting with each other. Similarly, for the Protestants and Catholics in UK.

So I think I have learned more than I could have helped Jason in his preparation for his test.

Or we actually killed 2 birds with one stone as the saying goes.....; ie in that short period of time, I learned something and he got his revision done with my help.

Ahhhh...... I am a bit more wiser today and never too old to acquire new knowledge....

The Dog, The Cat & The Rat

It is a great video and if only we humans, irrespective of race, religion, nationalities, etc.... can get along and tolerate each other more these days; the world will be more peaceful and happier today.

Happy Valentine Day!

To my dear Lai Meng,

Love and many more years ahead of us together ......

Daddy Poh

P.S. Look at the 2 photos on how we have grown older together in all these years and many more to come....

Our honeymoon in Phuket in 1986.

Today, in 2008......

Love always.

4th Day of Chinese New Year

We went visiting again today, to my brother-in-law home as he was working shift and we missed him on the first day of CNY.

I am still wearing red but my dear wife in gold. Jas was in black though, more acceptable these days?

---------

So what did we do on 3rd day of CNY?

Well, Jason started having his tuitions again in the morning and in the evening, but he managed to get a few friends together and played street soccer in the late afternoon.

Anyway, back to school tomorrow for Jason.

Lai Meng is still on leave so maybe we will do some post CNY shopping.....ha...ha...ha...

2nd Day of Chinese New Year

We visited the Kuan Yin temple this morning, typical of our CNY schedule. Quite crowded compared to the my visit to the temple on the eve of CNY.

We are dressed more casual smart today.

Lai Meng looks great in her new pair of jeans and blouse. I think we both look much younger in our casual attire.

We were trying to get a complete family photo with our dogs too, Jack and Ruby.

Jack did not co-operate too well as he is always looking for snacks.

Ruby was behaved better as she is always looking for our attention.

Family Photos taken on 1st Day of New Chinese Year

I always request the family to have a photo taken every year on the 1st day of Chinese New Year.

Our housekeeper, Mary Jean Lupas, who has been looking after Jason since he was 4 years old, also join us in the celebrations.

A Very Happy & Properous Chinese Rat Year !

My family & I wish all of you a very Happy & Properous Chinese Rat Year in 2008 !

BTW, my wife & I are not in the rat costumes above...ha...ha.....

Wishing you good Health then Wealth ........

Reunion Lunch for 2008 Chinese New Year

The family decided to hold the reunion gathering today.

It was 'lo hei' followed by a steamboat lunch at my mother-in-law home.

















We arranged one with a catering company too a few years back, for practical reasons.

But this is the first time we have it earlier.

So how is your reunion dinner? Drop me a comment....
