At Work

I know I haven't been updating this for more than a week now.. in case you were wondering what happened. Well we've moved to our new place at Water Gardens and being a brand new place, there is no internet yet.. we have been waiting for more than a week now. Life without internet is just... so... boring.


Found this cute work illustration on the net. Don't get the wrong idea of my work mentality tho! Work is fine, just started learning and it's a great feeling to knock off on the dot everyday!! (woohoo~ hope this can continue.) I know this is like the most envied statement. Ever. Esp to friends back home. hehe.. was talking to WH and he said Spore office is likened to a 'slave distribution centre'.. hmm well I'd like to think that I have escaped then! *whew*
In a nutshell, we have been settling down at our new place. My air shipment of 11 boxes have arrived *yay* and soon realised there is not enough storage space *boohoo* so ahem a lot of things are now stored.. well.. under my bed! haha ok will discuss with our landlady to provide more cupboards, etc. Cooking is very limited coz most sauces are in Cynthia's shipment *sailing sailing home* apparently just reached the port here yesterday.


Guess what last Wed evening I actually bumped into my long time NTU friend May!! We were at Canada Place, wanting to meet Kwee Lin and then lo and behold I saw this girl staring at me in shock and waving at me at the same time. I think both of us just couldn't believe it. We have not met up for like 3 years in Spore and then we bump into each other in London?! Wow how coincidental is that. Must be God. We met up for dinner, and then on sat, we went Borough Market in the morning, bought some yummy food and went Regent Park for our picnic. Sun was out, and people were just sunbathing in the park. We lazed on the grass.. it was just such a lazy afternoon. Then like kids we queued up for ice cream (super yummy) and were very happy after that. After we decided to stop lazing, we walked down to Oxford Street and did some window shopping in M&S, followed by an al fresco Italian dinner. See the things you could do when you have superb weather? And now the sun sets only about 8, 9pm and I love it.


Oh next monday is another bank holiday and we are going Norway for 4 days! yippee always wanted to go see the fjords in Norway (and the midnight sun AND the northen lights!) so ok fjords first. Will be flying to Oslo, and then taking train across the country to Bergen, staying overnight at a guest house in Flam, and do some cruise to see the majestic fjords. The sights must be breathtaking. Apparently this Norway-in-a-nutshell is a popular package. We can't wait. Norway, here we come!!


okies, will update my blog once internet is up and this is pending British Telecom's efficiency. That said, O2 is really very efficient. Our modem has arrived last night, goody!
Look out, pictures coming soon!

Murder Mystery Dinner Party

Two Saturdays ago we were invited to the Kim's for a themed dinner, specifically a Murder Mystery dinner party.  What is that, you might ask.  It was our first time attending such a dinner too, and so how it works is: a group of people attend a dinner party.  Each is assigned a role and will be given a script to read that night.  The aim of the party is to identify a murderer in the midst of us by the end of the night.  The hosts would work off a dinner game set (they got it off Amazon) and it comes with proper invites, setting/ scene, table name cards, scripts and even a suggested menu.  Clearly RX is an Agatha Christie fan. Two weeks beforehand, we received our invites in the postbox, telling us what roles we each have been assigned and the suggested attire (and props if necessary).  Interesting yes? The dinner was to start at 7pm and we were to have 8 people that night.  It's all very mysterious… Our invitation cards assigned K the...

Cooking mee pok dry | bak chor and fishball noodles

When I touched down at Changi airport a few weeks ago, I was very hungry and K suggested grabbing a quick bite at the food court.  I immediately went for the queue at the bak chor (minced pork) noodles stall.  This one dish is very local and we simply can't find it here.  London's Chinatown has a few Malaysian restaurants with fried kway teow, chicken rice, laksa, etc but there is no authentic fishball noodles or minced pork noodles. When my friend Corinne shared this link last week, I was intrigued and I didn't know K was too.  He suggested going to the Asian supermarket on Sunday to get the necessary ingredients.  We found Dodo fishballs from Singapore here - what a win!  Unfortunately the mee pok (yellow, flat noodles) is of a darker shade here and tastes slightly different (maybe a different type of wheat?).  We found fishcakes too. http://delishar.com/2015/12/fishball-noodles-mee-pok-tah.html This is a healthier version of the hawker center'...

Memories made at Danson Park

I can't believe I still have readers to this dormant blog!  Thank you for coming back again :) In case you didn't know, our little family of four actually flew back to the UK together for the first time last November.  For me, I've been back twice with Izzy, and poor Gabriel kept asking when could he go back to London.  Finally K said we should take the trip together and also drive around northern France, our fav area to visit.  Well fav, in that it is very easy to get to from the UK and we have really grown to like the more rural parts of Brittany. I grabbed the chance to contact Joanne, who took some photos of the kids previously.  In fact I think she has seen my kids grow up, from taking Christmas photos to family photos. We were pressed for time and I had to do some convincing for K to agree to do this shoot... looking at the photos, glad i insisted on doing it.  More to document kids growing up well.. and us growing old  I plan to blog more about ...
