Christmas Tree @ Woodlands

I remembered the first Christmas tree we had was at Sembawang, back then we only have Joey. So this time round at Woodlands, it’s also the first time for Jayne.

Just under $70, we got a nice tree.

Under an hour, the tree was set up.

Where was Jayne? Eye power.

After the tree was set up, it’s time for the most fun thing. Put on the lights and ornaments.

Though Joey did most of the job, she didn’t want to pose for Daddy. But Jayne was all willing.

A special Merry Christmas! No star, no angel. It’s a ribbon!

M…K…

Can you see the what Jayne is holding in her hands? Can you figure out what she is trying to say?

Still don’t know what she is talking about?

It’s a monkey!

Men Just Want To Have Fun

Sponsored Review

Have you ever wonder why ladies spend hundreds of dollars on personal grooming like manicure, pedicure and doing facial? Maybe they have tons of money? Maybe they just want to look good? Or maybe the process is just very comfortable?

Kless received a “toolbox” from Star Asia, containing the leading Korean skincare label, Skin79.

It’s my chance to find out what magic does a tube of BB cream or facial wash has.

Homme Gentle Wash – 2-in-1 cleansing foam and shaving cream thoroughly cleanses while preparing the skin for a less irritating and more confortable shave in one step. Papaya and ivy extracts soothe skin and eliminate excess sebum excretion. Gentle yet nourishing, it refreshes, removes dead skin cells while keeping troubled skin at bay, leaving skin supple and hydrated.

I like cleansing wash that has rich smooth form. It makes me feel like the wash is thorough.

Can you see the smooth nice skin after one wash? Hahaha…

Homme Triple Action Beblesh Balm SPF15 – this BB cream is the answer to men’s five biggest skincare woes:
1. Wrinkle improvement
2. Whitening
3. UV Protection SPF15
4. Conceals pores & blemishes
5. Controls oil

This non-sticky water-based beblesh balm finishes to a naturalno make-up look, concealing skin’s imperfections such as acne, blackheads, and large pores, delays the process of aging, and softens the skin texture.

Final look… Happy and satisfied guy! Will I be hooked on to such activity in future?

If you are interested to find out more about Skin79 products, go on to any Watsons store and pamper yourself.

Behind every successful man, there is a good foundation.

A Long Blog Break

This has to be the longest break I had from blogging. 2 weeks totally engrossed in retreats, finally my life is back to a normal boring mode in Singapore.

The last 2 weeks, the Kuan family was out to Bintan for the staff retreat, then barely back for 48hrs, we are off again to Pulai Springs for our zone retreat. The irony of retreats is I felt like retreating to somewhere quiet and relaxing afterwards. Yet, we had a good time, during the staff retreat it was more of a R&R trip, with quite a bit of time for games like futsal and basketball. During the zone retreat, we were spiritually blessed with our Senior Pastor and Deputy Pastor sharing the WOG and encouraging us. Combining both retreats, this has to be best November for many years.

Here are some photos from the relaxing Bintan Lagoon Resort.

See how Joey was all pumped up for some fun!

Sorry, no photos from Pulai, it was basically a work trip for me…

My Grandma is 88

I missed grandma’s 88th birthday celebration. So the entire Kuan family decided to visit her in JB.

Grandma’s hearing and memory are failing, we have to speak loudly and repeat ourselves many times before she can understands us.

Grandma took care of me when I was young, in fact I lived with her for about 3 years before my younger brother was born. I can still remember Grandma will cook all the nicest Hakka food to make me forget shortly the pain of seeing my mother leave every weekend back to Singapore. Since she fell and injured her leg about 5 years ago, she hardly travels out of her house, except for going to church on Sundays. But she still insisted to walk us out to the main gate. That is how much Grandma loves us.

Before we leave, I had to chance to pray for her. Bless her and thank her for the care and love all these years. All of us need to remember our elders and make time to be with them.

Grandma, I love you!

Hello? Are You Daddy?

Joey is old enough to memorise our mobile numbers. That is extremely important, cos if she is ever lost in a shopping mall or in a crowd (I pray that will never happen), she can approach someone and call us. Neat, right?

Not entirely right…

A recent call conversation from Joey went like this:

Joey: Daddy, I want to talk to Mommy?

Me: Mommy is busy working, do you want to talk to me instead? (that was the beginning of my mistake)

Joey: Daddy, what time will you be back tonight? Are you going to work late? Are you coming home with Mommy? Will you be coming home like usual time?

Me: Yes, we are coming home after work, not working late. What do you want to talk about?

Joey: Daddy, when you come back, remember to…. buy 1 duck rice for Nai Nai, buy 1 duck rice for Mei Mei, buy 1 duck rice for me. Also Nai Nai wants kopi-o, buy 1 kopi-o for her.

Me: (a bit sian liao) okay…

Joey: Must be hot kopi-o ah.. Mr kopi-o…

Me: Who?

Joey: You are Mr kopi-o… Mr kopi-o…

Who taught her to memorise my mobile number??

Wedding – Jacob & Shanti

First of all, congrats to the lovely couple and thanks for inviting me to witness such a beautiful ceremony.

The ceremony was held at Rochester Park @ 1-Caramel.

It was my first time at this particular wine bar, and I must say, I’m very tempted to go back again with a few of my buddies. Too bad, it’s not a place suitable for kids.

Just look at the gorgeous pavilion set up for the ceremony. Really looked like something out of the movies.

I was supposed to be there as a guest, but since I took my camera along, I started to take some photos. I think the other guests must be thinking I am some sort of photographer. A single lenses photographer, hahaa..

Can I say? Wedding photography is not easy at all. I cannot imagine myself to be the main photographer in-charge for a wedding. It is so stressful!

Some shots of the wedding ceremony.

The lovely couple doing the champagne pouring.

Blissful marriage!
