My 10th Post

Decided to use this title as this is my 10th post in 9 days! wow this is quite serious addiction. My family reads my blog faithfully (I think!) so this a a big HIIII to them *waving* and of coz to my dear friends back home too, you know who you are :)




We are getting the hang of life here and a good indication is that we are starting to have a bit of our own life now and also widening our circle of friends. Last night I met my friend Xiu Li and her friend for dinner while Cynthia went back home to cook; tonight I came back home alone wanting to attempt to cook while Cynthia is at some colleague's farewell drinks.


We are also planning a road trip to Scotland next month! yay~ thanks to her ex-college friend Jian Liang. We are gonna attempt to see the Loch Ness monster (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loch_Ness_Monster) haha. Will be taking an overnight train to Aberdeen and then rent cars to drive along the highlands to Inverness. Just a 4 day short trip. Should be nice, provided NO RAIN.


This weekend's gonna be busy coz we are preparing to move to our permanent place. Sad and happy- sad because we won't have internet connection for about 2 weeks (the guys need to come down to set up land line and broadband), and happy for the obvious reason. We don't have to live out of our suitcases anymore! This place is nice no doubt, but no matter what, it doesn't feel like home. Besides busy moving, we are meeting Kwee Lin before she flies home next week. She wants to go big time shopping at Primark.

** Well, see my enthusiasm for shopping is an all time low now (unbelievable you might say and I agree with you haha!). Simply because things are so ex here, and the clothes they are selling now are the summer-ish kind of clothes: sun dresses, spag tops, shorts, short skirts... seriously how to wear in this weather??!)

BUT I must add something.. Christine just told us where the Burberrys factory outlet is! okay this one I am excited coz she said the things there are really cheap so we have to check that out! Soon! haha

And next Monday is a bank holiday *yippee!* so we are planning to go out of London, to Bath and Stonehenge with Grace. Go see the famous rocks.

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 ...
