Back Home!

It's been 3 days since I came back, it's a great feeling altho it seemed surreal initially. A part of me couldn't believe I'm back and yet the other part felt the familiarity of the surroundings. Of course my family was thrilled to see me and I was too.

Right after touching down, my bro and his gf came to fetch me from the airport and I had my first Mac meal heehee before going home to surprise everyone. After settling down, I took a shower and got ready to attend Boon Hui's wedding. Wow she was a really pretty bride that night and her gowns were so unique and lovely. It was quite an agonizing dinner though coz it was a 9 course dinner and I was so ready to sleep by the time we were served dish #4.

 

With the beautiful bride.  Lucky Jade with the ladies from our table

Sunday - woohoo church service! It's grrreat to be back in my own church after 9 months. Nothing much has changed, the queue is still as long, the praise and worship's still as awesome. Met up with some friends in between services.


lunch after church svc: the don't-know-where-to-start look

At night, it was "Crab Attack Night" with my girlies! Cindy suggested this cheesy named place in Serangoon called Crab Party but despite the name, it was quite yummy so we ain't complaining!

Love to be in t-shirt and shorts again
Finally Monday I had my first home cooked meal which was lunch cooked by my dear grandmother. This dear old lady was too excited to whip up something nice and she happily dished out.... chicken cutlet with mashed potato and baked beans. I gasped when I saw it... "Western food???" omg shouldn't it be something chinese??! We had a good laugh coz she said she was too excited and forgot I just came back from a western country which obviously I am already sick of such food... *roll eyes* She's so cute isn't she?!

My grandma's version of western food for me.  On a Chinese plate. hehe

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 ...
