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 :))

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 ...
