Mini Updates

Wooo it has been such a busy busy week, well ok busier than usual coz it was monthend plus EOD (end of day process). So glad it is one more day to the weekend and hooray! We are going to Scotland for 4 days so it's gonna be another week of 3 working days! Everyone's travelling now that summer has just started. My team mate just came back from a 2 week Spain trip; my manager is going to Egypt, and then my other team mate's going back Turkey for 1.5 weeks.. and then.. boohoo don't remind me, monthend's coming again :( Have been knocking off 7+, 8+ (considered late by local standards) and so glad it is still bright when I walk to the train station coz office is almost deserted by that time. Seriously I can't believe it when you compare to Singapore and I am truly appreciative of work life balance here.

And then when I reach home, I am welcomed by nice home cooked food by Cynthia! 3 cheers to that! Her cooking's not bad and this week, the highlight was her fav sesame oil chicken (our whole living + kitchen area was smelling of sesame oil the whole night haha but it was delicious) and tonight we just had yummy chicken herbal soup. (yes the slow cooker is really a life saver like what we were told.) Just throw everything in before going to work and when u come home, tada!! You have nice soup, a great comfort food esp when we miss our home cooked food.

Meanwhile, we gotta start packing warm clothing for Scotland. Pray for good weather, so we can take awesome pics again, like Norway.

Till then, take care everyone~ will update next week with more photos!

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 ...
