Spa Nite

The kids made a stack of "coupons" for us the other day. The 1st coupon they wanted me to use (while Daddy's at Elders' Meeting) was the spa coupon!

While I was showering, they set up the spa ...

and offered excellent "package" service that included a foot bath, 

a foot massage,

+ a 4-hands foot massage when the other therapist, who turned up late for work (in his own words), joined in.

There was also a head massage,

and another 4-hand massage - this time for my back

Such a treat! I love it when the kids stretch their imagination at play, and pamper us in their spa, restaurant and hotel services!

Aaron's 1st karaoke

On Deepavali, we went with the cell to karaoke. It was the kids' first karaoke. Nadine didn't really like it, but Aaron loved it!

Where there were songs that he was familiar with, he'd grab the mic and belt his lungs out!

Days later, he asked if we could go karaoke ok, but just our family! Either the cell was too noisy for him, or he wants to have the mic all to himself!

Throwback - Mooncake Festival 2017

Since we moved to Nouvelle Park, the kids would always play with lanterns and sparklers with our neighbours on Mooncake Festival. But this year, we had a way bigger celebration with the Davids and Gohs.

The kids played with lanterns and sparklers ...

And the adults had mooncakes and tea!

I love my Kampong Nouvelle!

Throwback - Daddy's birthday

We celebrated Daddy's birthday with a dinner at Hungry Heroes. The kids have been wanting to bring Daddy there after we went there for Godma's birthday. The place was novel, but food fell short by Daddy's standard. Thankfully, we had Nadine's homemade birthday cake to cheer him up!

LSK Concert 2017

Last Wednesday was the LSK Concert that all LSK students and parents look forward to every year. This year will be our last as Aaron will be graduating!

I was beaming with pride when Aaron walked up the stage (with a very focused face) to receive his graduation cert.

When Daddy asked him later why he didn't smile or wave to us when he walked pass us, he said, "I had to be very serious!"

The graduation song is always touching, seeing all these kids in their graduation gowns, singing their hearts out to God, and then receiving prayer from SP.

We think Aaron did really well with his class item, giving his all for his last LSK concert. So proud of him!

He was just as serious with the finale items, never once looked at us, as if he was afraid that we would distract him!

And so, my baby boy has graduated from kindergarten, and will start his primary school journey next year! How fast 4 years just passed!

Very grateful for the value-based education he's had at LSK, teaching him to be a loving and compassionate person, to care for people around him, especially the underprivileged, and the earth. While some people may say that LSK does not do enough to prepare the kids for primary school, I think what they've done is way more superior - prepare the kids for life. Would never have exchanged that kind of education for one driven by grades!
