Roundup Jun26

The highlight of the month .. the year probably ... is our family trip to Osaka. Many, many awesome memories and a treasure trove of photos to remember all the fun! This gave me great motivation to plan for more family holidays! 

A Fishy Business

A fortnight ago the kids went on an excursion with the studycare center to a fish farm and came back with a portable fish tank with 4 fishes each. 阳阳 seems fascinated by them whereas 萱萱 doesn't like it.

Surprisingly Meimei has taken a special interest in the fishes and has been constantly trying to get plants for the tank. We eventually went to a pet shop near our home and bought some. She is like a little kid having something new to play with ... but this time with lots of $$ to fund it. Its a cute side of her I love and adore but need to reel in the expression of it so she doesn't go overboard ;-)

Anyways all of the fishes have died except for one. Hopefully this phase will end soon with its demise!

New AirPods Max 2

Meimei bought me a AirPods Max 2 for our anniversary. I totally forgot about the date and didn't prepare anything to celebrate. Thankfully Meimei's not the type to dwell on this ... or at least she doesn't give me any hard time about it. *kiss!

Kiddos At Kidzania

Meimei and Yeeyee had booked tickets for Kidzania. Unfortunately I had to be in the office for training today so I could only see photos of the fun.

 

Love Letters: Happy Father's Day

萱萱 made me a very nice card for Father's Day.

A Pillow For Dad

There was a handicraft session for the kids today in church to make a gift for Father's Day. 阳阳 made me a nice pillow!

Kids Will Be Kids

 Kiddo nonsense at its best.

Attempting to pick the master bedroom lock with a toothpick?

A Stuck-a-cock

Brought the kids down for some chatek and badminton and somehow 萱萱 managed to get the shuttercock wedged on the pavilion ceiling poles.

It was quite fun watching them try all sorts of methods to attempt to get it down. I eventually helped because they were thinking of climbing the poles .... It took me many tries too but finally managed to use another shuttercock to hit the stuck one down.

 

Osaka Day 8 - One Last Pokemon Run & New Luggage

This morning is a mad rush for last minute shopping. Meimei and I left the kids in the room after breakfast for a quick spin at a nearby Dondonki. I took a street side shot of our hotel. 

We made it back around 10.30am and immediately got the kids for the last Pokemon card run. But that was not the main goal of going to Umeda Daimaru. It was certain that we needed another luggage and there is a Samsonite outlet in the Daimaru store.

My mid size luggage is starting to spoil so it made sense to get a new one at this time. Next we were back at the hotel to get the last bits of packing done. It's all Meimei's credit that we had everything packed.

Then its off for a quick lunch at the Q's mall foodcourt before we left the hotel at 2pm.

I don't have any photos of the flight back. I think it might be photo-fatigue ... there were only a few photos for the last 2 days.

Nonetheless it has been a terrific family holiday! The most awesome one so far and I'm dreaming of more to come!
