Mervyn Hoe: My Daily Happenings

This year, I feel Christmas is special as we managed to celebrate it as a family, going to church service, munching together and enjoying the sceneries together. It's simple yet heart warming. We went to the morning service and it was candle light service. The whole seating arena was fully filled with people. Thank God we managed to have seats for ourselves. Family picture of us. The children prefer to sit at the aisle. The church members starting to spread the candle light from the stage area and passed it on to every people in the church! Finally we got the candle lighted too! Jesus shines light upon our lives! Josh made sure that our candle lights was always lit. Eve and Kate Our three babies Couple pic. Nice? Happy Kate with her candle stick Happy Gwen! Me with Gwen Getting my children to hold the candle really needs constant supervision. There were three instances whereby they held the candle slanted and nearly bur...

Today is Christmas Eve and I have decided to bring my children out to Esplanade. Kate needs her afternoon nap, hence Eve stayed at home with her, while I brought the other two to Esplanade. The bus ride was so comfortable that he slept! Josh slept on the bus seat!  We reached Esplanade and it's snack time. We went to Toast Box to get some bread and milo to fill our empty stomach. Josh and Gwen ate them hungrily. Look at the milo trail at Gwen's chin! Seldom we actually go out to eat snack at Toast Box.

Gwen's lovely smile!  We sat by the river and the view was relaxing. Not much crowd and we just took out paper and drew the surrounding. I managed to get Josh to 'touch' MBS! Lovely? Josh and MBS!  Group picture Gwen had her stint at grabbing the MB...

It's indeed a feat to bring three children out. It's even amazing when you are eating in a restaurant with 7 children! And there are only 6 adults. The number of children outbeat the adults! How cool is that? We went to Paradize Inn at Marina Square to have an impromptu gathering as there was a Mid-Autumn Festival at Esplanade. We invited one family, and thereafter, invited more and more, and became 13 of us! It's a fun gathering and I was the photographer! Find that my photography skills are getting better and better! (SELF PRAISE) 3 generations. Josh looks like a big boy! Charlotte and Kate. They are both so cute and adorable! What a great group picture and managed to get all the children's smiling faces inside! Love it! This is the only picture with myself inside on the outing that day. Josh waiting for the food to come, and he's self entertaining by himself. They are cousins and hopefully we ...
