Finally, all the hard work has paid off. Tromson received an award for his remarkable progress, which has truly motivated him to work even harder, especially as he prepares for the PSLE this year.
His determination and positive attitude are evident, particularly after school, where his focus and drive really shine through.
Last Sunday, we attended a pre-Mass service followed by the Sunday Mass together to give thanks.
Keep up the great work, Tromson! We believe in you and are so proud of you!

Last Thursday, September 12, 2024, was a truly memorable day for our family.
By God's grace, we had the incredible privilege of attending the Papal Mass. Papa and koko Richie even had the honor of serving during the Mass—papa as a Communion Minister and kook Richie as an Altar Server.
Being just a few meters away from the Pope, especially witnessing him bless the little children and people with disabilities, was an emotional experience for me. I couldn't hold back my tears.
I felt the profound, unconditional love of God and witnessed the essence of what humanity truly needs.
Attending the Papal Mass felt like a glimpse of Heaven, with God on His throne, surrounded by Angels and Saints, while the rest of us worshipped Him. In that moment, there was no judgment based on race or worldly success; we were all equal in God's eyes.
Though we couldn't choose our seats, we embraced our place with deep gratitude.
Much like in Jesus' time, people came for various reasons—to see the Pope up close, some for selfies to share on social media, others to experience God's love more intimately. Only God truly knows each person's heart.
For my family and me, while we did hope to capture a close-up picture with the Pope as a keepsake, the real gift was the love and joy we experienced there.
One key message that we will always remember is:
"Without love, all are nothing."
Tromson is turning 11 and is entering puberty, a time when hormones and emotions start to intensify, and he's beginning to assert his independence and challenge boundaries.
He's developing his own perspective and is more inclined to argue when asked to do things. It's a normal part of growing up, and we're hoping this phase will be brief.
Today, we celebrated his birthday with a hike at Bukit Timah in the morning, followed by lunch at HaiDiLao and a Minions movie at the cinema. It was a fulfilling day!
Happy Birthday, Tromson! May God bless you and guide you always.
Tromson has been selected to join Overseas Immersion Program to Bangkok together with another 29 student leaders.
They visited local Thai school in Bangkok and embraced culture experiences visiting temple and grand palace and watching Thai musical shows.
We are very proud of him as he's very independent who can take care of himself and others.
It's really a great experience for him, well done Tromson !
Our last day at Labuan Bajo.
