Caitlin Has Her Cake!

So as you may know Caitlin had to undergo an operation recently, to remove her adenoids and ultimately her tonsils. It seemed like pretty straightforward stuff but her underlying conditions were really a source of concern for us. She did well and was really brave, I think braver then her mum and dad. And being a proud dad i wanted to giver something she would like so instead of books or toys i asked my colleagues wife to make her a nice and simple cake, nothing fancy just a red cake with a lovely chocolate interior. So after dinner on Friday we sent her to her room turned off the lights, lit 4 little candles and brought her out. She was very excited when she saw the cake (cake as you may not be aware is now one of her favourite things). As sweet as the fondant was she ate a huge slice!
I dunno if you can, but the look on her face is poor excitement.

Trying to smile with a huge bit of cake in her mouth.
This little bundle here, is smiley. She loves her big sister , her doggy, her parents and now we know for a fact the beach as well. She laughed out loud every time a waved splashed on her tiny feet. (and boy does she look cute in that hat)

So this was on Saturday.

:)
I had the day off from work on Saturday so we went to the botanical gardens for a lovely picnic. I think everyone had a good time lol i know I did. We went for a very nice walk around the pond and of course Caitlin was thrilled to have her beloved cousin Michael holding her hand much to his embarrassment. We have decided that next time we will find a flat piece of land and maybe bring the frisbee .

Have wheels will travel. YOG

So i went for my first Olympic event, ever. Ok so some people feel its just the Youth Olympics but i tell you what these kids (all under 18) really pushed themselves and gave us a good show. Went with my nephew Philp, My father in law aka the Doo, Sherwin, Lawrence and Arron. I think they all enjoyed themselves as much as i did. One thing that bugged me was the poor attendance, mostly school kids who were bused in. I think if more people in tampines knew this was going on on their door step it would have been a much better crowd. I think in that respect these kids deserved better.

Top 3 of the Mens Jr Finals.
Theis guy, in black and white is my hero, on the second last lap his left foot pedal fell off. He didnt give up, he carried on riding using only 1 pedal. When he came to the hill section and technical areas he carried his bike and ran. He finished 23rd out of 33 starters and was the last to finish on the same lap as the winners. He should be proud of himself.

The weather took its toll on the riders, the heat of the noon day sun made extra hard to race full tilt.
After 7 laps and around 21.7km in the mid day heat, this guy brought the crowd to its feet and a smile to everyones faces.
