Beginning of a new life

I have to officially announce that my new life in London is gonna start this month - MAY 2009.

Reason is that my housemate/ friend/ buddy Cynthia will be going back Singapore end May. Yes big decision for her, big impact for me. I came to know about it after she came back from Singapore in March and it was officially approved on 22 Apr, exactly one year since we came. I have to admit MANY thoughts went thru my mind, at a loss to be precise coz the biggest implication would be on accomodation. I have to either look for someone to replace her, or else move to a one bedroom. Never did something like this before.. n wonder how it would turn out. The only thing I knew I have to do is to pray and trust God. He who has brought me thus far will continue to carry me through. Also one of the challenges was keeping it from my family as I didn't want them to worry for my too much. I just wanted to solve it and let them know once I found my place. I was listening to the sermon of the Feeding of Ten Thousand and pastor shared on how we should rest in Him and continue doing the natural, and God will do the supernatural.

I knew I had no time to worry and so I started calling agents and arranging for house viewings... after about 10 viewings (house no. 7 to be precise - number for perfection!), Praise Jesus, I found my place :) It is really a godsend coz it faces the docklands, 5min from the same massive Tesco, nearest to the station and cheapest (!) among all I've viewed. To top it all, the owner just did renovation throughout so I'm gonna get brand new furniture as well! How awesome is that?!

Yes since I'm now publishing this post, I have told my family about it. Worrying for me is unevitable but I know God will continue to take care of me like He has for the past year. It will be different, yes, and I pray that I will enjoy this new phase of enjoying my own bachelorette pad :)

I thank God for nice friends like Sabrina (who volunteered her place in case I can't find a place in time), Wen (who volunteered help from her and bf to help me move as they have a car and also her place to store my stuff if need be), Yeelin (who volunteered her strength to carry my things), Alicia and JL (also volunteering their help and time just before their families come visit), Ariel who volunteered as my chauffeur), Brigitta who was looking out for me in house hunting, and Kat too even though she's studying for her exams.. I feel so loved! Thanks guys, love ya all :))

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
