#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 :)

NFC celebration at Sentosa Palawan beach- and 4D Magix

Quick the balloons are falling, someone help Mummy!!

Earlier, our NFC Pledge has won us seven tickets to Sentosa's 4D Magix.
So we head to Sentosa's Palawan beach last Saturday afternoon, with our cousins.

We thought everybody would be at Universal Studios (since long weekend USS tickets were sold out). Instead, we were left wondering whether every family (and tourists) had responded to NFC's mobilisation @ Palawan :p

Please read the instruction before you enter 4D realm.
Our tickets is for Pirates !

We all know 3D needs a pair of special lens, which allows the cinematic object to jump out of the screen before you. This 4D technology adds the sensual touch.
(ie your chair will rock, you can experience water mist, and wind)

Now, throw in DTS6.1 surround system.
It is too cool !!!

Video : Introduction before we pop into theather.


**Spoiler alert, skip this video if you have not been to 4D Pirates before **
Video : you get Spiders, Bees, bats, and all sorts of crabs


If image is blur, please wear your 3D specs keke

We thought Kang looks cool in his "sunglass".
But halfway through, he got spook by the Bees and Bats :p

After our movie, we head back to Palawan beach.
NFC has line up Fun activities with families in mind.

Look at Mummy, her biceps beef up after she toiled to bring Wen Xin's stroller across the sand dunes. Our princess was effortlessly soaking in the sight and sounds :p

Who cares when Mummy and Daddy are sweating?

By the time we arrive around 4pm, Palawan was relatively empty.
Our hosts were all tanned, but they still gave us good service and big SMiles :)

Video : Carnival, we notice NFC ambassadors were all tanned, and sweating


Wonder how many kiddos got their Happy Balloons from our uncle Clown?
We see reverse bungee in the background too, but nobody was game.

Bouncing Castle again. This seems to be standard fare, around any funfares.
Wei and Kang dash through the obstacles.

Sorry Yi, you have to grow taller a bit, before you can attempt these vigorous sports :)
So, Yi end up disturbing a doggie..



or kicking sand into Mummy and Daddy's sandals. Cheeky boy.



We spent almost 2 hour on the beach.
Before we head back to Vivo for Dinner.

Video : we need to survive Train squeeze first :p


Thank you NFC and Nuffnang, for this fun fill Saturday.
Our families did have fun, roaming around.
Weather was warm, but smiles are aplenty :)

** special dedication to all NFC related crew for making this event meaningful!
