Rainy days can be Sunny too !

Just look at our two young ones, Yi and Xin.
Slight drizzle but Daddy brought them downstairs to have some Umbrella fun :p (sing to Rihana's Um-bre-lla Um-Bre-lla)



Simple task like sharing and sometimes bickering over the umbrella, brought a tickle to Daddy's otherwise gloomy day. But the kids' photos are so bright and sunny ! (Looney and Gang helps)



Video : Who would think a small rain + brolly would bring so much Smiles !


So remember, rainy days does not need to be indoor-days (or gloomy for that matter), just look at our kids' SMILEs !!


**disclaimer : kids will instinctively step on puddles big and small, so Beware !

Filming Sengkang Babies

Remember how we enjoy playing DadsForLife's card game?
We are one of the families featured in Dads4Life's 2nd anniversary video.

Not sure how the video will turn out, but we sure had fun throughout the filming process. The lightings, reflector, microphone, the props look hugh and serious, but the kids were more interested to disturb the crew.


Camera action ! More photos at SengkangBabies Fanpage.


The whole process lasted almost 3 hours, with a few NGs keke.

One good thing which came out from the shoot, we had to clear our hall first. Suddenly, we got so much space to roam, at least for a few more days :p



To my friends and fellow Daddies, see you at DadsForLife luncheon next week :)

**updated 2011Nov23 - Video is out :)

Washing car is dirty, but FUN !

Daddy mention our car is dirty, and we volunteer our cleaning services again.
You might still remember how much fun we had last time :)


Fun is cheap. 20Cents, Sweat, and with lots of laughter.
Just do not expect car to be clean :p

IMAGINE ! Our kids get to shower our car !! Cool !


It looks Fun, but the boys' perspiration is real..


Daddy can see us hardworking kids. Sometimes they even use the same cloth
to wipe the Dirty tyre and rim, before applying on car body again ooops !

If you kids are washing cars, ask them to avoid the wheel :p


Well, at least the windows are clean, and Daddy can see some nice reflections.


Mummy came down to inspect our car, we hope she is happy. Boon Xin will be able to join us soon keke.


Video : Car washing fun



Thank you kids, car washing sure looks cute with your help.


Kids taking a well deserve rest. Daddy also had fun with his photography :)

We won a Camera and an iPod :)

Mummy's department got a photo cum story competition, we won First and Third prize hooray ! Boon Kang will get to play with our new Nikon camera in Taiwan :)


First prize is a Nikon coolpix 5100 and Third prize is an Ipod shuffle :)
(Daddy would be overwhelm if we win a Nikon D5100 keke)



=======================////=========================
Here is our entries, no prize for guessing which cute pic won First prize :)

#2 Siblings (Blood is thicker than water)

We hope our little ones will standby for their siblings throughout.
The Chinese got an idiom "Blood is thicker than water".

Siblings are for life.
We embed attributes in our kids from young, to take care and trust each other.
When siblings work together, there will be less family tension and conflict.

When siblings start to look after each other, we hope they will grow up to be responsible adults.
When parents delegate household activities to kids (sweeping, washing, gardening),
we want the kids to enjoy working together as a Team.

When kids are looking after themselves, when they love and respect each other, siblings can pull a family together.
As a Team, siblings will be strong, and can face any challenges together.

Above vision belongs to Mummy and Daddy, which we hope to achieve.
When the kids are happy, their smiles are the only reward we parents need, and the only motivation to make us better parents.

… Meanwhile, back to the present, kids are still fighting over toys and remote control and iPhones :)


=======================////=========================



#1 Family (our cool activities)

We are one red-hot family!
When our kids wear Red and march out, people stare at us.
How did the parents managed to rein the active kids together?

Ever since the kids were young, we involve them in all our activities.
It can be a simple outdoor picnic, or a short holiday abroad.
We believe this is the best way for our family to bond and become stronger.

Through family activities, we are transferring family values to our kids.
Hopefully, kids pick up "empathy", "sharing", "independence", and become more confident.
When they see Mummy and Daddy loving and respecting each other, we hope kids will grow up to respect their partners too.

Outdoor activities makes our kids more robust, and less prone to illness.
Meanwhile, parents get to hone our parenting skills, and we can only improve as our experience grows.

So, getting together as a Family is not only Fun, but educational !!
Our kids only has one childhood, we wish to make it memorable.
This is Daddy and Mummy's Promise.

The camera freebie was a GorillaPod, and Daddy is having fun twisting the tripod around for his camera .


Thank you to the Uncles and Aunties and Kor Kor and Jie Jie who voted for us :)

GE 2011 breaking news, our favourite Party is....

... In GE 2011, we will only contest for a SMC. No prize for guessing where SengKang-Babies is contesting. We know a lot of children can identify with our manifesto.



More About Party SengKangBabies

Our little MP :
- Lee Boon Yee
- 4 years old
- Cheerful, playful, know how to act cute


Our Manifesto :
- all children shall have fun
- to build more playgrounds in your neighbourhood
- no more homework and tuition

On 07May, look for our logo, vote Lee Boon Yee into Parliament. Daddy cannot trust the two smaller kids, as they only like logos with "Stars" haha.



We are currently still negotiating with the Elections-Department whether juvenile candidates can get pro-rated deposit, maybe we pay 10%, ie $1600
(that is still a lot of milk powder !)

On a side note, our kids say they like the Bear ( from red-party) who give sweets. Maybe the other parties will start asking their mascots to give sweets and balloons too.


With your support, in 2016, we hope to assemble all our babies to take on a GRC.
If Voting is based on cute factor, we will be a force to reckon with.

Signing off,
Chief Editor Daddy Andy


... disclaimer...
Above post is only meant to trigger your smile, as we understand elections can be very tense and stressful. We are not to be held liable when you cannot find our party-logo on 07May :p

Defensive Driving course by FootWorks

Some call it Defensive driving, others call it Advanced driving.
Objective is still the same, to allow the driver to get intimate with his ride, and understand how the car behaves during "emergency". Students go through drills to train themselves to react "instinctively" to incidence.

Briefing session for the day. Courses, meal time, and toilet location :p
Organised by FootWorks, the itinerary includes :

1) Shalom - you try to cruise zig zag through obstacles
2) Emergency Brake - understand what is ABS, and application
3) E-brake and swerve - try to avoid impending collision
4) Handbrake Turn - how to swing your car around, Fast!
5) Reverse flick (J turn) - opposite of HandBrake Turn


At Kranji Turf club, cars from all made and drive came for the full day course.

Navigate the Shalom at speed. You have minimum reaction time during swerving intervals!


Instructor show us how easy it is to execute a Handbrake turn. Just hard-right and pull up your handbrake (sounds so simple right)

But how to do a Footbrake turn?
( some MPV comes with Footbrake, instead of Handbrake! )



Waiting in line. Ok, next.

Daddy found an old acquaintance with his GTI :)


Some people think advanced-driving means we want to drive faster and be reckless, because the stunts drills look dangerous! Daddy will recommend this course to friends for the following reasons :

- to discover our weak areas and brush up
- to identify bad driving techniques or seating postures which has been cultivated over years. It is definitely not cool to press your chest 15cm from the steering wheel !

- different cars handle differently. Advanced Driving allows us to understand our cars better. Adrenaline is pumped up during drills, but we are all learning how to handle our cars better.

- most importantly, we "feel" how our car behaves during out-of-control situations. We can train our reflexes to react instinctively during an emergency!

- that extra 1 or 2 seconds can save lives!!


Topless action woohoo!

Are you ready for reverse flick?


Starlet and Forrester does it with gusto (read one wheel in the air!)

Sounds simple, just reverse till 50kmh and do a hard right turn. Your front and butt should have flick 180 degrees.
myspace graphic is done on Gickr.com


Suddenly it rains, but we shall carry on.

A little time trial. We are supposed to combine all the tricks we learn today.
Timing will be taken, to add to the pressure.

Video : how teacher does it


Video : How newbies does it



Video : Daddy had fun with screeching wheels and smelly rubber. Shiok !
The drive looks slow, but Daddy was sweating in the cabin, and there are no time to ponder over your mistakes :p



Now, when can Daddy parallel park in style?


For more information, do drop Chris an email --> niknat@singnet.com.sg
Footworks is also organizing a lot of road trips to Malaysia!
