The boys are Singaporean just like Daddy

As the boys grew, its time to prepare them to move to Singapore and begin their education there. CJ is 3+ and the twins 2+. I have submitted applications to the Singapore Consulate General Office in Hong Kong for Singapore citizenship for the boys some 10 months ago and was finally asked to bring the boys to the office to collect their passports. It would be a long term plan for the boys to study in Singapore in order that they can be better prepared to take on challenges later on in life and I am adamant that they be brought to Singapore for their education believing that this is the best thing we can do for our boys.

To bring the 3 boys, Chu and her mom together would have cost me a bomb and so I waited eagerly for Cebu Pacific to offer discounted fares for May and eventually got to book 5 tickets for them to come to Hong Kong on the 14th ~ 20th May.

So on the 15th May 2009, CJ, Johannes and Justin became Singapore citizens.

The plan was to let them continue their childhood in Cebu until they are at least 5 and 4 years old while I continue working in Hong Kong. Chu would register early childhood playgroup classes and kindergarten for them so that they can attend classes in English and learn to play and work with other kids. Then we would all move back to Singapore and continue kindergarten there and eventually to register for primary classes for the children. I would then move back to work in Singapore and to settle down to take care of our children as a family unit united together at last.

Meanwhile another issue is pending. I have submitted application to the Consulate General Office to get Chu's ban from landing in Singapore waived and I hope to get this done before the big move.
