Hair Cut

Albert will go back to school after almost 2 months of vacation including our Euro trip. So yesterday I sent Alvin and Albert for a hair cut. This was the only 2nd time Albert went to a barber shop. I usually cut his hair but I thought I couldn’t cut because his hair is so thick. I was really hoping that he won’t cry as he’s not used of other people cutting his hair. I’m glad he didn’t. I was surprised that he behaved above my expectations.

After their hair cut we went to the playground and let him play for a while. But it was cloudy so we decided to rush and go back home. But we got caught by the rain so we had to wait at the food court until the rain stopped. At the food court, I met and chatted with a mom and son whom I thought was the same age as Albert. During our chit chat we both discovered that our sons have the same birthday and same year.

The rain stopped after almost 30 minutes. Before we went home, I asked Alvin to buy 4D (a lottery) using Albert’s birthday combination. I checked if we strike but unfortunately, we didn’t. Hahaha!

Junk food weekend

For the first time in our lives (or maybe Albert’s) we ate so much junk food. We ate Doritos, Pringles, cheese balls and cheese rings while watching movies. This was the first time we treated ourselves with so much junk food. Although we don’t eat a lot of junk food, we’re still overweight and not that healthy.

We don’t eat junk often but does it sometimes because it’s yummy and fun!

Father’s day

We celebrated Father’s Day by having a fun bowling. Bowling is Alvin’s favorite sport. He’s been an active member of FBCS (Filipino Bowlers Club of Singapore) from 2004 to 2005 but since we moved to Sengkang, he didn’t find time to play again.

We had lunch at Kenny Rogers at Suntec Mall. After our lunch we went to Toy’s R Us to claim my voucher and used it to buy Hot Wheels cars for Albert’s. We then went to Marina Square to play bowling. Alvin and I played 2 sets while and Albert and Juvy only played one set. It was a fun day. Maybe we’ll play again next month.

Visita Iglesia 2009

Good Friday is holiday here in Singapore and for the first time we thought to visit 7 churches in Singapore. We went with our friends who were on vacation in Singapore and met some old and new friends during the visiting.

We started our first leg at 9am to St Anne Church which is just a walking distance from home. Then we took a bus to the Nativity of Blessed Virgin Mary followed by Immaculate Heart of Virgin Mary and managed to catch a mass. Then we headed to City via MRT. We alighted at Little India station and took another bus to Our Lady of Lourdes. Then we walked thru Queen street to St. Joseph followed by Sts Peter and Paul and lastly to the Cathedral of Good Shepherd. We finished our Visita Iglesia before 3pm.

We reached back home at 5pm. I thought we’re all very tired and I think also because the weather was very hot. All slept and woke-up before dinner.
