What have I been doing?

hmm friends have been asking me what have I been doing since I've been back.. counting back, it's been 5 days! omg.. time flies just like that and it's damn scary... dreading the night I've to fly back and the airport scene again.. oh well, let's just shove that thought to the back of my head...

first two important things are my facial and haircut appointments! I haven't had a facial for the past 9 months and esp after winter and cold weather, my face is super dry and so I was told by the beautician I need to super hydrate my face... and of coz, waiting for months to come back and have my haircut! haha I know that almost everyone I know are ultra reluctant to get a haircut in London coz of the price and so everyone just "tahan" and wait till they go back Singapore, including me!

I went back to office for my "Amoy feast" yesterday. hmm.. I thought I'd be gorging myself crazy but oddly, as much as I was excited over it, my appetite shrunk somehow! I was just plain happy to see the food laid in front of me but my stomach just couldn't take much of the food. I couldn't even finish my fishball noodles! unexplainable and bizzare. Maybe the hot weather has dampened my appetite for food? I just feel so bloated... might be indisgestion... hmm


After our Amoy Feast: with colleagues back home, good to see Wai Lit again after so long. He's also back from HK office for the Chinese New Year

Interesting fact btw... friends always tell me that when I go back SG, I'll find that the MRT trains are much bigger and heehee it is true! The Tube in London is really much smaller with only one row of standing space between the rows of seats but whoa back home, it can easily accomodate 3 rows of standing space! I sound like a mountain tortoise I know, but after squeezing in the crowded London Tube trains for 9 months, I am suddenly very impressed by the (air-conditioned) MRT trains here haha. (even Bishan station is so different now!)

Just tonight I met my buddies Min and Mimi (aka Emily.. I hope she decides on a perm name soon!) and we had some nice Jap food at Sushi Tei. I love Jap food and I really miss places like Sushi Tei and Ichiban Boshi back home. It's not easy to find a cheap and reasonable Jap place in London.. or maybe I haven't come across one.

Jubilee Weekend | Afternoon Tea Party

http://www.thediamondjubilee.org/ Today is the end of the Jubilee celebrations and how better to end it off than to have an afternoon tea party in the company of friends, while watching the celebrations on our TV.  It has been quite an emotional afternoon, in the good sense of course.  I don't think I've ever seen Queen Elizabeth on TV (and heard the national anthem God Save the Queen) more than these 3 days combined, but this Jubilee weekend has made me grew to love and admire this lady.  She is 86 and reminds me so much of my own granny, and her strength is amazing.  Imagine being sworn in as queen at the age of 26.  (I mean, what was I doing when I was 26?)  On Sunday when she and Prince Philip went onboard the Spirit of Chartwell boat to watch the River Pageant, it was cold and windy but they stood throughout the 3 hours event.  It was said she was offered some hot tea and a seat, which she both said no to.  I love my grandma but I have to say I don't think

Sleep, baby sleep

I had an idea to blog about Isabelle's sleep behaviour the other day.  Before having Isabelle, I had not the slightest idea how big the sleep topic is for a baby, and now a toddler.  I merely assumed that babies will sleep, no matter what, right?  Because they are tired right?  No, of course not.  Isabelle showed me how much she could and can fight sleep even when she is tired.  As a new mum, I did not know how to read her sleepy signs, and more often than not, she would be overtired by the time I catch her signs and by then she is cranky and crying.  Oh the tears.  From Isabelle and mummy. The early months Sleep has always been an issue for me when Isabelle was born.  She cried non stop every evening for hours on end, and we had no idea what to do with her.  Colic was the word most used on such babies, and everyone comforted us that this difficult phase would be over within 3 months.  I still remembered uttering "3 months?!" under my breath.  Not 3 weeks?

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 role of Monsieur Bertrand, a f
