i heart my monkeys!

It has been a pretty eventful three years leading my cell kids, full of joys and heartaches, the bulk of which were caused by my 3 - 4 boys.

We kept them with us when we combined with Alissa and Yue-yi's girls and roped in Boon to help mentor them (he's doing a great job!). They used to be the bane (no pun intended) of my problems. Hahaha! Boon and bane! Funny right? :D

Ok, back to my cell.
Like I was saying, my boys used to be the bane of my problems. They'll not pay attention and talk among themselves or play with their mobiles during cell (they still do). And it used to annoy the hell out of me!

Not until recently did I realize I actually, truly love my monkey clan! My girls are just attentive and sweet and it's hard not to love them. But I have come to love my boys as well, having spent more time lunching with them these days! Of course they still get figety and talk during cell, but they're angels when we're out and I enjoy spending time with them!

We were at Jurong Point's MOS Burger after Dempsey one Sunday and I was just observing my 3 boys and Debb having their own conversation and I couldn't help but smile! I can only imagine what kind of conversations they'll have when they're 18! They're just adorable lah!

Gayle has also risen up to the challenge and signed up for Cell Leaders' Training, eventhough the twins pulled out. Proud of her! :)
Beky and Debb are part of this year's camp comm!
The rest of my girls, Rachel, Beatrice, Jeanette, Joanne and Julia are just bundles of joy to have in the cell! Will cocok them to go for CLT next year!

vicky-for-a week

So Shin and I have been bingeing last Saturday with lunch at Tony Roma's (for her) and Turkish food for me, dinner at Cha Cha Cha's with Tracy and desserts at The Marmalade Pantry with Daphne.

We have thus decided to go on the Vicky-for-a-Week program. Which is basically tofu, steamed vegetables, bread and tuna, and oolong tea (we'd rather drink water...). This is of course also preparation for our chocolate buffet with the Philippines team in aboiut 2 weeks' time. :)

Right. All of you reading this, please call or text us to remind us to eat healthily ya? Thanks!
