Family 'OBS' - Outdoor-Bonding-Symphony: Dec 08

Hi you adventurous ones out there!

The long-awaited outdoor adventure to Pulau Ubin is finally scheduled in December!

The title of this event is called "Family Outdoor-Bonding-Symphony" (OBS in short), not that we're taking you to do Flying-Fox and all that at the Outward Bound School! For some of us, perhaps we'd always had the impressions that it's just so out of the way to visit Pulau Ubin and all that...

Anyway, I tell you, Pulau Ubin is still so beautiful and well-preserved. We'll also be having guides to bring us around the island and enlighten us on the culture and history etc, mostly in the comfort of an air-conditioned mini van. As we'll be walking on the board walks, i'm not sure if parents want to bring kids younger than 5 years old. We'll discuss further on 6 Dec at the briefing.

This event is open to members from Interactive Parenting Club (IPC) ONLY!
So, register as an IPC member now to enjoy the fun! (Just fill in a form at the CC, or email me for the form!)

There'll be a briefing that you have to attend at Kg Chai Chee CC on 6 Dec (Saturday, 10am - 1 pm... lunch is on the house!), and on 13 December 08 (Sat), we'll set off to Pulau Ubin island in a chartered bus to the jetty.

Itinerary will be disclosed at the briefing. hehe... suspenses leh! (But don't worry, there'll be minimal walking - we've rented vehicles on the island!)

And after the outing to Pulau Ubin, there'll be a 'Outdoor-Bonding-Symphony Flashback' back at the CC on 20 Dec 2008 to watch a video montage of all the photographs taken.

Kids Colouring Contest - Racial Harmony Day

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...
