To The Library

I am trying to cultivate reading interest in both Anthea and Anders. So with this mission in mind, i have been bringing 2 of them to the Community Library once a month to borrow books.

We have been going to the Bishan Community Library, it is newly opened and the part i like most about this new library is that it has a very BIG Section for children. Most of the books are very very new. We usually borrowed fairy tales so that i can read to anthea and anders before their bedtimes. Anthea loves to listen to the story, as for anders, he will usually read the story after me. So it is like a parrot...and anthea always find him very disturbing...hee : P

So far, we had read the follow fairytales:
a) Goldilock and the 3 Bears
b) Cinderella
c) Sleeping Beauty
d) Imaginary Creatures

The one we just borrow on Wednesday is a collections of many fairytales. So i can read 1 story a night. Hopefully, they will grow to love reading like Daddy. As for me, probably, i am too lazy to touch any book.

OLD STUFF
For the last week, i have been throwing away some old stuff and kept some of the unused stuff - 2 Highchairs. At present moment, the 2 A's junior is not using it, so i will "cold-storaged" them for the time being, till their cousin arrives.

EXERCISE

Currently i am doing lunch time exercise at the Toa Payoh Community Club Gym, twice a week. This routine will be ending soon because the gym will be closing end December 2006. What a pity as i have really enjoyed myself this one year. Now, i must start to source for other venue or sport to do during lunch. I find working out during lunch is very healthy and this regime had been very useful for me.

DINNER @ 253

On Tuesday, we went to 253 for lao pa's western meals - Mashed potatoes, Lamp chops, sausages, boiled vegetables and soup. It was a very delicous meal and the children enjoyed themselves very much at ah gong/ah po house because of Ribena,Yakult and Bananas.

CLASS PHOTO

This week, Anthea's childcare gave out their class photo and i must said, it's getting better each year. Their school concert is taking place this Saturday but i did not register anthea's participation, so this year she will not be performing.



Daddy smses "Dear,Tiberias is 14deg in the morng,cold. Work is more hectic in the airfield,like SA life. Small town, nothing much. Do my own laundry all the way. Last 3 wks burst. Send love to kids."
