A surprise getaway

A very unplanned but pleasant weekend getaway surprise as Ian had environmental quiz last last Sat and NE show coming up (what a hectic P5 life) so last weekend was just finally free so we had an unplanned JB nite stay as daddy called last min to swing by JB aft the kids' school and stay a nite to beat the jam on Sat morning and of course the kids were excited as they are always happy to go stay over at hotel. This time we stayed at Swiss Inn JB and it was abit off the city Square but we still walked to our fav banana cake stall and the meldrum street food where we dabao our fav dinner back to feast at the room and daddy was happy with the telecast of world cup at nite altho not sure if it was enough rest with the 2 matches he was catching with.

The kids had good time over tv, homework and food and so glad for such impromptu getaway and look at their goofy smiles which tell it all how much fun they had even tho it was just a nite stay but it beats staying home with their homework and plus mummy's (oooppss)

Ian got an award....no, 2 awards!!!

Ian was just back from his P5 camp which was 27-29 Jun (Wed to Fri) and then we had to send him to the National Environmental Quiz on 30 Jun (Sat) to N an Hua High School where he represented his school to take part in the quiz, was teasing him if he would be kept awake thru the whole session which was 8am to 1pm but he was all geared up for it with his other 2 friends. We requested to pick him up from NHS as it would be easier than to go back ZD to pick him. We saw a lot of school kids there and some were with trophies but we couldn't spot any familiar uniform and finally we saw them coming down with trophies too. They won the team prize 5th placing and we felt it was a HUGE achievement as there were many schools participating.

So requested a shot with his form teacher Mrs Joyce Tan who seemed a lot happier than the 3 boys hahaha guess who won a bigger trophy. Anyway the boys were told to bring back the trophy to school on Tue (as mon was youth day) and could see Ian beaming with joy...what a SURPRISE to us and to him too as the questions were not easy but well done, our son!!!

Expected prize giving to be on Tue but it din and it was on Wed and his Chinese teacher came by to tell him to get ready to go stage and Ian was puzzled as he was wondering how on earth his Chinese teacher knew and who knows he was going up to collect another prize...it was for some yue du Chinese that he had won for his class and yes what a day to remember as his dear sister was going up stage to get the prize too!!!

What a happy occasion for both and addition to his certificate collection...continue the good work!!!
