Just passing on this information.
Tasmin would LOVE it. She’s always going on and on about going ice-skating, but the only rink open now is in Kallang and sooooo faaaaar…
Please note that I’m not part of this group (yet!) so I’ve only got the same details below. Please call them if you need more info. I’ve left the number at the bottom.
Ice skate at Singapore’s first artificial outdoor rink
A first in Singapore, Stamford American International School (SAIS) and the Singapore Ice Hockey Association (SIHA) are jointly installing a temporary, synthetic ice rink on the SAIS campus for the sports community and public to try out.
The ‘ice’ consists of interlocking squares of white plastic, which has been sprayed with a mixture of silicone and water to allow normal ice skates to slide across the surface.
Interested members of the public are welcome to visit SAIS to experience the best of ice skating without the chill. Due to limited capacity of half-hour slots spread over two weekends, pre-registration is required and is confirmed on a first-come-first-served basis.
Event details
Dates for trial: 13, 14, 20, 21 February 2010
Time: 2.00 – 4.00 pm, at half hour slots each
* 2.00 – 2.30 pm; 2.30 – 3.00 pm; 3.00 – 3.30 pm; 3.30 – 4.00 pm
Fee: $10 per half hour slot, inclusive of skate rental.
* Do note that skaters are advised to bring their own gloves for safety reasons.

In the midst of the madness that is Christmas, and then a week later, the start of a new school year, the Augustins are moving house.

I am freaking out.
I alternate between “aiyah just let the movers come and pack everything lah” to “gosh we can save so much if we pack ourselves” and “why do we have so much clutter?? throwthrowthrow!!”
So no open house this time, not til Chinese New Year.

First weekday of the school holiday. Feels funny. Like a weekend.
@JoeAugustin Poor guy. I'm sorry. We waited 4.E.V.A for another parent to finish ranting to the instructor b4 we finally could interrupt.
We finally opened our xBox (yes the one from Blogout'09) and the kids have been playing Kungfu Panda and Indiana Jones ALL. DAY.
Lots of excited shrieking "go there! come here! punch them!! PUNCH!!" and plenty of giggling. That's my fav sound in the whole world.
@ncvbxfgf Can! You say when lah ok?

After partying late last night and going to bed without eating supper (achievement!), I've woken up HUNGRY!!
It's 8.32pm. Anyone in the Cantonment area with a jumper cable with time to come help jump start our car pls?
8:36pm Oh wait. Get this. A neighbour is LENDING us a spare car battery! He deals with 2nd goods. Oh dear. The spare he had doesn't have enough juice :( So nice of him to try. He's gone to get a bigger one.
(We were stopping everyone and anyone we saw, which were so few)
Another neighbour just told Joe that he can't find his cable so offered to drive him to the nearest petrol station & back.
Thanks for all the help tweeples :) It's 9.22pm and we're fixed. Joe bought a new cable & jump started our car. Sounds of sweet engine.

- @drew_crothers Wow that's sad and twisty. Sorry for your loss :(
- Lauren "But I'm not tired! I'm not tired. I'm really not. I'm not tiredzzzzzzzzzz.." Guess she was.
- 40mins to bus to Tas sch, walk in & get her and bus back. Not bad. Bt Timah traffic is heavy, but keeps moving.
- Quite pissed that our nice, big working nailclipper got ruined by misuse. It got used to cut guitar strings/wires instead of pliers.
- Pretty! RT @nadnut: Trying out my blue contacts pic.gd/3a4f4a

- RT @JoeAugustin: Not a big fan of the Mac tonight. One of the Macs in the house was killing the entire network. And my peeps NEED the net!
- Good morning! Today, I am grateful for a solid 7-hour sleep without aircon.
- Nooo!!! Then wat will I do?? RT @JoeAugustin: OK. Just started my linux journey & already I'm confused! It would seem I am not geek enough.
- @delightt I think my kids do better without aircon too. But we can't leave windows open at night - noise, mosquitoes - so no choice.
- Had a zag food day today - KFC lunch & Jap cheese cake for tea. We were good & ate only veggies & rice for dinner.
