Mid-year hols 2012

So the kids had their mid-year break during the last week of May and the first week of June. Sis no.1 and no.4 plus kids came back from Singapore for a week, so it was full team (17 grandkids) in action!!

Sis no.2 had gone to China with hubby and friends, and Kung Kung went to Europe for a pilgrimage. So Sis no3 and I were the only ones around to welcome the Singapore gang, and after that even Sis no.3 had to go for a short work trip to KK! So it was just me and the Singapore sisters tending the whole brood of 17 (just for a few days until everyone came back)! Think 3 mother hens with 17 littles chickies running amok all around! Lol!

To be fair, some of the bigger chickies didn't need tending, just throw them an iPad.... ;) In fact, the older ones can now help with the smaller ones... when left with no other choice, that is!!!


Anyway, the whole gang decided to surprise Kung Kung at the airport when he got back from Europe. They made a 'Welcome Home' sign and waited outside the arrivals gate! People were amused to see them and some even stopped to take photos.


Anyway, here are some photos of the things they did over the holiday...



Sis no.2's kids came to sleepover for 4 nights while mummy and daddy were in China! It was fun for everyone to have their BFFs over, and so cute to have little Adam toddling around the house.

Ohhhhh.... fek!




Playing on the road like we used to! Though we played "mata liak chat" (police catch thieves), whereas now they play "fire and ice"! :)



All 17 kids plus another 2 of the neighbour's kids!


The trusty ol' swing where we used to do our acrobatics!! :) It seemed so much bigger then!


There was a lovely family (Mum's side) gathering to celebrate Ee Poh's birthday.


And of course... bowling...


Solomon brought his own set!


There was of course Ethan, Amelie and Amanda's birthday celebration...

We actually didn't go out much, mostly the kids enjoyed each other's company playing at home. It is also getting harder to bring out the whole, ever-growing gang!

Before we knew it, the week was over and it was time to say goodbye! :(


The usual havoc at the airport!

See you guys again at Christmas?? ;)
