Happy Birthday Mommy !

Jaslynn and Justin came up with a short birthday song for their Mommy's birthday celebration.

However, things weren't quite cordial during the 1st rehearsal as the members weren't quite in sync with each other.



After sorting out the nitty gritty, things went more smoothly thereafter.

Welcome to the JJ Country Club

Jaslynn and Justin would like to invite all of you to join their newly opened JJ Country Club. They've got lots of toys and games for you to play with. And lots of photos for you to view too !

Not to mention lots of books for your reading enjoyment.

Not forgetting the golf range. Here's a photo of the No.8 hole, a par 2.

全家福 - Happy Family Portrait

Jaslynn went over to her 姑姐's (Aunty) house for sleep over sometime last month. As usual, she would ask for some paper and start drawing.

This time, Jaslynn drew a 全家福 (family portrait).

Where did I go today?

Justin was working on his secret project when he noticed that his sister Jaslynn was not around. Justin turned on his secret spying machine and saw this on his screen.

Do you know where did Jaslynn go today?

Happy Birthday Mar Mar !

Jaslynn drew a lovely card for her 奶奶's (Grandmother) birthday. It was just a simple drawing of a heart on the outside of the card.

Inside the card, she thanked her granny for all the wonderful things her granny has done for her.



We then went to the NUSS' guild house at Suntec City for a sumptuous dinner. The restaurant had a nice interior decor and ambiance.


Wendy ordered the German set dinner. The starter was smoked salmon on cream cheese?


I ordered the oyster shooters for a start. The shooters came in 3 flavours - wasabi, thai chili and 1 more which I couldn't remember.


爷爷 (Grandfather) had the fried hokkien noodles. I think the squid and prawns look very yummy!


The kids shared their favourite hor fun (rice flat noodles).


Wifey had the fried 面线 (rice vermicelli) which also look very appetising.


I had the New Zealand tenderloin (medium done), which came with a glass of Chilean Cabernet Savignon. The last time I had a Chilean red was more than 10 years ago and I had a phobia for Chilean wine ever since.

But this one was quite good. Didn't know it was Chilean until I saw the bottle near the entrance of the restuarant.


Then we were off to the karaoke with our 2 resident talents to start the ball rolling !




Of course, not forgetting the main event !

The cake were made with layers of crepe and chocolate in between.


The 4 Grands !

J1 Assault Rifle with LAM

Our resident scientist / Engineer, Justin, sensing competition, came up with some improvement to his J1 Assault Rifle.

He incorporated a Laser Aiming Module (LAM) into the sniper scope, improving the hit rate to 99.5%.

Here's Justin explaining his latest improvement.

Hearts for Sale !

Seeing that her brother Justin was doing brisk business with his J1 Assault Rifle and All-in-one ice cream maker, Jaslynn decided to come up with some business ideas of her own.


She borrowed from me a ruler and I asked her if she wanted to draw lines. She said no. I wondered what she needed it for. Then I saw her use the ruler to tear pieces of paper into strips. Hmm, still no idea. Then she asked her Mommy for some glue.


Then she showed me a tray full of little paper hearts !



$3 each, she said.


Then she saw her brother improvising his J1 Assault Rifle and she too went into overtime. After about 10 mins, she came back with another tray of paper flowers, made from the little paper hearts she made earlier.



These are $8 each ! I think it's a bargain.

RSAF Open House 2008 (or 2006?)

Went down to the RSAF Open House at Paya Lebar Airbase. The RSAF celebrates her 40th birthday this year.

The open house has the usual static displays, booths, etc. RSAF also has a segment talking about the new structure and the 3G RSAF. There are also C-130 and F15 simulators. You can also be an airman for a day and have your photo taken.

However, the aerial displays featuring simluated attacks by the F16 and Apache attack helicopter seems very familiar. Have I watched it somewhere before?

Looking for us?

Sometimes, when our resident scientist / engineer (Justin) and artist (Jaslynn) go outstation, it can get rather annoying answering phone calls, and enquiries from walk in clients.

So Jaslynn came up with a signage to put on their front door, letting people know if they're in or not.

Save our planet ! Learn from the animals

Sometimes using humour can be a lot more effective in bringing the message across. This time, Animal Planet teamed up with Aardman Animations (creators of Wallace and Gromit) in a series of short animations, using eco-friendly animals, to bring across the message to save our planets.

"The 10x20-30-second clips feature ten short clay animated creatures in their own habitats, demonstrating how we can all make a difference by practicing a greener lifestyle."

I like the cow clip especially. Simply hilarious. Hee Hee.

And of course, Save Our Planet !!!

Have a break, have a hotdog ice cream

Taking a break from tweaking his J1 Assault Rifle, Justin had a sudden craving for ice cream. Not your usual chocolate or strawberry (his favourite) flavours, but flavours like rainbow, hotdog, etc.

Justin couldn't find any of those flavours at the usual mama shops, so he decided to come up with yet another invention of his own. Moreover, his J1 Assault Rifle wasn't getting in as many orders as he was hoping, so he had to think of something else so as to earn some extra pocket money to buy his Ben 10 stuff.

The Justin All-In-One Ice-cream machine.




As Justin is also into a little dancing, he had a little inspiration to inject some slick dance moves while whipping up delicious lip-smacking ice-creams.

The J1 Assault Rifle

Met up recently with our in-house scientist cum engineer Justin over Yakun coffee to see what invention he has come up with lately.

He proudly showed me a prototype J1 Assault Rifle with attached diamond bit drill. Much like those M16 you see that comes attached with a grenade launcher.

But the J1 Assault Rifle is different. This is more suitable for urban combat where you'd be fighting in a concrete jungle. Sometimes your enemy may be hiding behind a wall and you want to be discrete. So you can't use a grenade to blow them up, that'll will attract the rest likes hornets.

So you use the diamond drill bit to drill a hole through the wall. There's a silencer built-in so the noise generated will be kept to a minium. Once a hole is drilled, you can then aim and fire !

But like all Singaporeans, I like to bargain. But Justin is no pushover too. He's very adamant on his price: 2 egg yolk breakfasts for 2 weeks ! Steep !

But I don't have a choice. No one designs weapons like Justin. I agree to his price and he signs the contract. Deal !

Happy 43rd Birthday Singapore !

Jaslynn drew a birthday card for Singapore and would also like to wish her a very Happy 43rd Birthday !!
