Letter to Reiko #163 Our Family Nature Times

Hi Ko!!

We went longkang fishing again, this time with Alex, Clara and Anthony. You had a lot of fun playing with Clara jie.


And you were so happy about the fish that you were very excited in feeding them.



Such a serene sight right? Really loved it. :)



You and Kor were fighting about whose branch was longer.. haa


But the next moment can be extremely loving to each other!


We also went to Sentosa after that. It was a nice hot day! You and Kor had lotsa fun playing and digging in the sand before you eventually went to the foam party. Mummy didn't take much of the foam photos of you though cos it was just too wet.


Enjoying having a fun tattoo!


We also went to Labrador Nature Reserve during the next weekend.



And also blew bubbles! It was just nice and quiet time together. :)


You and your funny pose!



How nice to see this sight everyday for the people who live here right? Reminds me of our Cape Town... That said, I don't hear you saying you want to go to Cape Town anymore... hee.. well but indeed those are the memories that will definitely last Mummy for a lifetime!


We settled for a nice and fulfilling lunch after our super long walk!



Mummy hope you have lots of fun growing up ya.. You are growing more fiesty but also more loving and independent.. sometimes you are at the stage in which you said you are a big girl but at other times, still the "youngest in the family" - so you don't know how to do many things yet. Mummy is often amused by the things you say... :)

Letter to Immanuel #163 Our Family Nature Adventures

Hi Imm!!

2 weekends ago, we went with your godbro Alex to some Longkang fishing!! It was our second time doing this and you really loved it. You got to be pretty fast with it too.. :) During the first time, the fishes died pretty quickly but since we had company it was nice to spend some time waddling in the water again.. good weather too!


A pic with our loot!


I think you were tired that day already.. after an outing of fun.. haha


Oh yes that week Mummy also took off and we went to trek at Sungei Buloh... love the nature there!



We also climbed up this dome like structure to have a better view of things.



But at the end of the day, also could be very loving!


That very same day, we also went to Sentosa as there was a funfest there... free entry!! Whilst queuing to go in to a waterplay area, the guy went around to do tattoos for the children... I was thinking that it was such a good idea.. occupy and distract the children.:)


You collected a bucket of sand and went to collect water numerous times to put into the bucket as we did not allow you to bring the sand in. You always had such funny ideas.. hehe..


The following weekend, we went to Labrador Nature Reserve. These 2 weeks were indeed filled with lots of nature! :) Mummy just wants all of us to be super duper healthy!


After walking for quite a bit, we settled down for a picnic! Yumz!


We walked by many nice houses... is also a nice and serene place with yachts... Mummy was reminded of Cape Town where we had a nice water area in front of the housing area. We really missed Cape Town right?


After the long walk to Vivo, we settled for nice lunch at Yoshinoya!


Recently, you shared with Mummy a pic you did in school.. 5 loaves and 2 fish and told Mummy abt the story. It was nice seeing you grow in faith and you would tell me how much you loved God :) School has been doing a lot of good work in you! Since it was nearing Easter, you would also tell me about the disciple that betrays Jesus and lots of other stories.. :)


Imm, in this entry is more about perseverance as we trek along the paths. Mummy and daddy will ask you to jiayou each time you feel tired. This is what family is about right? Cheering each other on when the going gets tough. Mummy hopes to be strong enough each time to give you encouragement as we journey on in life too. Cliche as it may sound but how real.. when the going gets tough, the tough gets going!

Letter to Immanuel #162 Safra Playground and Simplest Moments

Hi Imm!

We went to Toa Payoh safra again to play cos you requested for it. These days, you have lots of ideas and would think of storylines to play with Ko. Like you would tell Ko, "Imagine that we have only each other, we are lost, imagine we have no daddy and mummy ook? Pretend we are doing this... or that..." :) And Ko will just follow you.. hahaa.. so even a seemingly boring playground is filled with adventure :)

Letter to Reiko #162 Playground Moments

Hi Ko!!

2 weekends ago, we went to Safra again.. once in a while, it is just nice to go to an indoor playground and Daddy Mummy can relax too! Nowadays Imm will come up with games and ideas to make the playground seemed like an adventure and you would just listen to him... It is sure fun watching both of you these days, thinking more of new ideas to play and also inevitably end up quarreling most of the time.. haha

Letter to Reiko #161 Fun with God Siblings

Hi Ko!!
