Picnic again!


We have been raving about our picnic to Greenwhich Park to May until she decided she wanna go see for herself too, and so Sunday was my second time to this park. We reached at 1030, a bit too early to picnic so we could choose any spot on the sprawling green grass. Many dog owners brought their dogs out and somehow after coming here, I find that I love dogs more and seriously I think they are happier here coz the weather is cooling for them and the many oh-so-beautiful parks.. they just run with joy man.


It was perfect until suddenly we felt droplets falling and before we knew it, it was pouring! We had to swiftly pack up and run up the observatory where the GMT line was.. and then oddly as fast as it came, it went away as fast too. hmm so yea we snapped some pics with that famous line once again.









I left for church service while they went to a local pub for lunch and beer. Oh god the DLR is so bad.. the frequency is so lousy and it travels so slowly too! Today's the first time I arranged to attend service with one of my new friends, Marike but uh oh I was late and couldnt find her in the dim lights so just sat by myself. Today's guest speaker is Bobbie Houston. Would have loved to hear Brian Houston, who is here too but apparently they take turns to preach for the 3 services. oh well, it was good too! After church, met up with another new girl Ariel for a drink and I was very surprised to hear that a lot of people hang out at this particular pub for drinks after service. hmm.. and some connect groups are even held in pubs too! well, culture shock for me.

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 ...
