The day it snowed so much in London

Before I post my "even more meetups" in Singapore, I'm now back in my London home comfortably snug in my duvet with 3 layers of clothes and socks... and guess what? It's never snowed so much since we came!!

when it just started... looks like rain but it's snow with very strong winds

I read that this week's gonna be freezing (once again), apparently a cold wave from Russia and BBC weather forecasted it to be light snow so I thought it might change and wouldn't snow afterall. Boy was I wrong.. it snowed in the afternoon after lunch and then intermittenly throughout and by dinner time, we were shocked when we looked out of the window.




after an hour or so? the slow buildup begins...




By dinner time...





everywhere white!

So nice!! A blanket of thick white snow even on our balcony.. and some people are out snapping pictures! We are lazy (and even more imptly, don't want to appear overly enthu haha) so just took some thru our windows and balcony doors.

I always think snow somehow makes up for the cold we endure during winter. Cynthia said I am supposed to bring some sunshine back from Singapore but seems like I've brought lots of snow instead?!

Weather forecast for tomorrow is heavy snow.. we are seriously wondering how it will be like tomorrow morning when we wake up. Maybe we have to trudge thru the snow to work and I heard there is usually no Tube service when it snows heavily! omg... ironic for me coz I want both!

Right after typing the above like an excited gal, we saw this article on the BBC. No joke, this is the coldest winter in 13 years and it seems like more snow is expected. It's February now... isn't winter supposed to be over soon? I thought that after my 2 weeks break, temperatures would not be as cold but I think I am wrong once again!

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'...

Our Seoul Adventure (Part 1)

Gosh life has been non-stop since coming back from Seoul.  Work has been very busy, and then Izzy had stomach flu and I was a bit under the weather too.  With this, one month just zoomed passed. Been meaning to continue our Seoul adventure. Day One To be honest we had a rocky start on the first day.  Our 2am flight was delayed till 3am and we were super groggy when we got on the plane.  Kids were sleeping and we had to wake them up.  The stewardess served us food at 4am and we had no appetite whatsoever.  Made worse by the turbulence which scared us so much.  I think in total we each slept about 4h that night.  So thankful that our kids love traveling and did not whine, but i did feel like i floated out of that plane into Incheon airport.  My original plan for Day One was to explore the palace area, have the famous ginseng chicken soup, and then visit the Bukchon hanok village.  Followed by a nice Korean BBQ for dinner.  The mo...
