Hill Street Fire Station

Aunty Su-En invited us to join her & Josh for an outing to the Hill Street fire station this weekend. It is one of Singapore's oldest functioning fire station, having begun its life in 1909.

The open house at the fire station takes place every (other?) Saturday morning, and is well-organised. Enough of things to do to keep the little ones engrossed.

Josh was rather reclusive that morning, which is unusual behaviour for him, since he is a die-hard fan of fire engines and fire men, as little boys are apt to be. I suppose even 2-year olds have their moods.

Josh warmed up towards the end for a photo with Sophie

Chinese New Year 2009

Chinese New Year came and went more than 2 weeks ago. It was chocked-full of activities and food, as usual.

One of the highlights was seeing Chris & KM and their new precious, Kieran. Was it just 4 months ago when I bid them goodbye in London? (Actually, it is, because immediately after I left, Chris had a show and baby Kieran showed up two days after. I admit I am guilty for allowing her to walk and stand around with me the whole day...)

The second highlight was meeting up with Tim & YP, who had disappeared from our radar for god-knows how long. Great to spend some time getting to know Krysta, who is now a proper, gentle young lady.

The gang, with the addition of one baby and several toddlers in tow...

Once in a while, you will find the silly teenagers bursting out of these aunties...

Gong Hei Fatt Choy, everyone!
