illegal parking along Sengkang East Way

Every morning, I need to cycle my girl to school at St Anne's church Kindergarten along the Sengkang East Way.. There are many of childcare center.. a lot of parents drop their children along the road side.. but some insensitive parents stop their car and blocking the path way.. Because of that I need to turn out my bicycle to the main road and all cars coming from opposite of me. That's very dangerous for me. Not only me.. I also saw some maids , grandparents have to carry their pram to the main road too. that's too much..convenient yourself but put other peoples in danger. I had wrote a complain letter to LTA department.Hope thing will get better after that.

Mini Basket ball games at 公公house

Image
wow.. 阿公got new toy mini basket ball shooting machine..阿公 want Sabrina take up the challenge "how many ball can she shoot in 1 minus ?" They are having a good time 一老一少 together。 She got impatience over when balls couldn't get in.. and she make a big fuss.. lost her patience ... scolding ball " Stupid ball". I was very angry over her frustration ... immediate I stopped her for playing..and she still continual ... I spanked her legs a few times.... and ask her cool down or else don't play the games. She had been in this manner for the past one month. Think I need to be more firm over her discipline again.
