This was Richie’s first time traveling overseas without us. He joined his school’s trip to Cambodia, spending 5 days and 4 nights there.
It was a wonderful experience, especially meeting students from a local school in Cambodia. He also got to learn traditional dances, create local arts and crafts, and visit the genocide museum.
We sent him off at the airport early Sunday morning and welcomed him back on Thursday afternoon.
We thank God for His protection, provision, and for keeping Richie in good health throughout the trip.
This week is a fruitful week for Richie. He attended the one week camp "I am gifted" by Adam Khoo.
It started from Monday, 27 November 2023 at 9 am and ended Friday 1 Dec 2023 at 10pm. It's not stay in programme but the programme is quite packed which is 12 hours every day.
However, Richie enjoyed it much, he was able to make new friends even use his power of influence. By the end of the course, he had so much clarity on what he's supposed to do, what's his priority in life, study technique and self motivation and self esteem.
He learnt that life is suck, what you are gonna do about it ? Don't take everything for granted and to love and respect parents because they love their kids and want to give the best to their kids.
Papa and mama attended the graduation ceremony and when Richie stood up and gave testimony and said sorry and thank you to us, it touched our heart so much that our happy tears were overflowing.
We saw he became so much mature than before. This is just a beginning and hopefully he improved on his study and became "life coach" to his siblings and friends.
He looked up to his coach, name Zaccheus who was just one year older than him but looked so much mature. He's catholic and altar server also.
Sunday fun day, thanks to kids' godparents, we were able to have family fun day at Wild Wild Wet. The weather was perfect, cloudy and not too hot, it's not crowded and we could play all the water attractions.
Some are meant for adrenaline junkies like free fall and torpedo which mama avoided but papa and Tromson tried it.
We spent around 5 hours there and everyone had a great time together.
We closed the day with dining at ramen, perfect for cold night.
This March school holiday we have no plan except going for a swim and visiting yacht and Ola beach on Friday.
Mama brought the kids to Raffles Marina as we were invited for mama's friend's birthday party there. The kids were swimming happily in the pool then after that followed mama to see different type of yachts.
