Photos wil be uploaded soon! ~ thanks for your patience ~
I know you guys were so excited at the beautiful artwork your kids have completed! Congratulations to all winners and every child too! I took many many photos of the children deep in concentration while colouring! I am so impressed with the creativity and efforts of these kids!
Summer had great fun too! It was also a time for her to meet her ex-schoolmates from nursery too! haha...
Don't you agree that the performances by the Kg Chai Chee Chinese Orchestra was indeed captivating?!
Enjoyed the Murukku from the Indians, Tea-Appreciation demo from the Chinese, and the many childhood games and toys (5-stones, chapteh...) that the kids obviously got a thrill from!
It was a great turn-out indeed, with more than a hundred families participating last Sunday at the Kg Chai Chee CC Hall. IPC looks forward to our next gathering on 6th Sep (Sat).... watch out at this blog! hehe...
Family Life Champion Award Ceremony - 29 June '08
On June 29, 2008, People's Association organised a Family Life Champion Award Ceremony, and I (representing Kampong Chai Chee) was honoured to receive the GOLD AWARD - Young Parents category. It was my pleasure to share the award with the student councillors of Bedok Green Secondary School, and Jaslyn, Tiem Hong (co-founder of IPC) and of course, Lynn - my beloved sister, who were invited to share my glory and blessing!
And a BIG thank you to Joan, Selena, Sophia, Yuen Yuen, Lisa, Boon Heng, Daphne and the many fellow-FLCs who had shown me great support and encouragement all this while! I'll strive to do better! Arigato! Xie xie~!
Enjoyed the Hossan Leong show at the ceremony - loved the Barry Manilow repertoire he performed!Gosh, how I missed Copacabana, Mandy, I Write the Songs..... simply added to my joy! What a bonus! hehehe...

Laughter and Humor
One of the great joys of marriage is the time that you, as a couple, spend laughing together and enjoying your sense of humor. Here are the benefits of laughter and humor, and ways to increase laughter in your marriage.
Laughter is a marvelous gift. It releases chemicals in your brain which can enhance your day and reduce your stress.
Additionally, laughter and humor are vital to good health. Laughter is healthy for a marriage, both emotionally and physically.
Benefits of Laughter
· Reduction of stress and tension.
· Stimulation of your immune system.
· An increase of natural painkillers in your blood.
· A decrease in systemic inflammation.
· Reduction of your blood pressure.
· Lifts your spirits.
· Laughter and humor relieve tension, lift spirits, and bring couples closer together.
· Having a sense of humor as a couple can help keep your relationship fresh.
Ways to Increase Laughter in Your Lives
· Be aware of the humorous moments in each day.
· Make it a habit for everyone in your family to share at dinner something funny that happened to them.
· Take delight in comedies on television and at the movies.
· Watch classic funny movies and television shows.
· Share funny jokes and cartoons with each other.
· Create funny Halloween costumes as a couple.
