Lincoln Chew reading Chinese book by himself

Award winning design for Harvard House tent for Sports Day

Hi grandchildren,

Some comments in your grandpa's Form 5 Facebook group by grandpa's classmate/form mate reminded grandpa of the tent for school sports day in 1966 which grandpa designed and help build and which won first price. Grandpa had a big photo of that but unfortunately it has been lost. So the next best thing to do is to try to reconstruct it from memory using AutoCAD R14, an old CAD software which grandpa used many many years ago.

Those straight lines that formed parabolic "line" filling up the space in the facade were created using rafia strings. There should have been no blank space, would redo if I remember. Have forgotten how to change the background color to white and the lines to be black, so here it is:

Phonics and Lewis Chew reading short story

Lewis Chew's mother has done a good job of bringing up Lewis by reading to him at a young age and letting him get phonics lessons. Lewis Chew at 5 years can now read short stories as demonstrated by the video below:



I have also noticed Lewis can read the tabs and links and knows which one to click when I let him play some online educational games during their visit last Christmas holidays.

Lincoln Chew dancing at Hui Yong's wedding dinner

We were at Hui Yong's wedding dinner at the Palace of the Golden Horse recently. The food was really good and the red wine was free flowing but the best was at the end when all the children went on stage to dance to the music.

The one who shined was 4 year old Lincoln Chew, especially towards the end. He is that little fellow with checkered shirt. He was a real natural:

Lewis writes "I love mummy" in Chinese

One should not be ashamed to cry especially when one is still very young. So Lewis should not be ashamed for crying when he was spanked by his mummy for misbehaving while eating his dinner.

Instead, Grandpa is very proud that he knows when he is wrong and knows how to make amends. Grandpa is extra proud that at a young 5 year old, he can write "I love mummy" in Chinese.

Here is a photo of his writing in Chinese:
