It takes a whole family to join a cca

Haha yes, v exciting as our 1st born starts his cca this yr n as parents, we strongly encouraged him to join a sport. Coz the Sch system works that u write ur 3 choices of cca n it depends on Sch how they allocate according to demand n supply. Our boy took a long time to decide tho we knew we would hv to do this sooner or later, it din come easy. He was initially reluctant to choose a sport but we reasoned w him that it's the best time to pick up a new sport. He agreed somehow n so his 1st choice was table tennis, 2nd was basketball n 3rd art club. He's a person who needs company n so 2nd n 3rd choice was Coz he had friend/cousin in the club. Table tennis was sth we cajole him to join Coz we parents enjoyed the sport n it's the most unlikely sport to 'get hurt' Coz he is afraid of rough play haha. 

He was so glad he got into table tennis but he missed the 1st cca day Coz he was on mc so his 2nd cca day he was very very very anxious Coz he din know what to expect. We were so so glad he came home v happy Coz he had a classmate in the same sport (tho only 4 p3 kids were into that cca, yea wonder where else everyone gone to) n he enjoyed playing the game tho he had his 1st try on the bat only. 

It's been a while since he bugged us to play w him n we finally found the bats we bought sometime ago n playing at home on the floor brought much fun to the kids. Tdy we tried scouting for table tennis table to play (yes scout everywhere from void decks to cc to even psa club haha) ended up we found this long seat with metal bar in between to act as net n we played over an hr there haha tho the residents passed us n gave us many funny grins. Who cares when our family had so much fun just playing n picking endless balls Coz the kids can't play yet. Now we know where to expend our energy n work out haha. Here is a wefie we took at where we 'played' table tennis but we really know where to find a proper table n we would post it when we really could play properly 1 day haha look at our pro posts for now

Ian is a mth away from his 9th bday

Yes, so fast our boy is turning 9 n by the time he celebrates his 9th bday he might b in sleepy state haha Coz he would b going for his p3 zoo camp just b4 his day (in a way glad he wasn't going to celebrate his bday at his Sch camp haha) 

This mth had been a sickly mth, we realized this boy hasn't fallen so ill since his Kindy days so when he came down w fever, we really din know what to do. We were Abt to send him to Sch till he told us he felt v hot sigh n then seeing nearby doc din make his fever subside n yet escalated. Gave mei2's ibuprofen but din help Coz din know his dosage n gave too little so went back usual doc n so glad the fever came under control tho he missed 2 days of Sch already n thankfully had cousin to help him get his homework. So far he hasn't fallen so ill to need us to render such help. He got totally was a meal each day for a whole wk. yes, losing weight time but it sure din feel good to have such a sick son. Again had to appreciate good health. So we begin to toss to good health for the new year n sure look fwd to more healthy days n years!

CNY fun

Somehow this yr the kids took really long to recall the usual CNY schedule (even for Ian) just Coz last yr we had a different one i.e. we went sitiawan to celeb. N had to set rules Abt snacking esp for Joann who really dares to snack on all kinds of food! We had 2 rounds of reunion dinners as usual but eve of eve was with Iong family n eve was w Chng family. Just endless feasting starts w CNY. Could see the amt of food prep n had to control on the amount hmm.

This time we went busy visitation on 1st day and some on 2nd day n we are almost done. Guess it was tiring n to tune back to Sch on wed except for Joann who had CNY celeb. It was fun catching up w relatives n glad to b in town for CNY, somehow it's just nice to b home I guess. Some family shots we managed to take
