deflated

As time draws near for the big move, I feel like things are becoming more than what I can handle for now. After overcoming the fact that my life's gonna be affected by friends going home for good, and settling the fact in that I need to move on with my life, at the same time with this house moving thing coming up… I think I am pushing myself beyond bounderies to do things which I never thought I really would do.. like being really independent (which I totally wasn't before). And also with what I have been busy with the past month… searching for a new place, rushing from viewings to viewings in between my lunch hours and after work; and now that most things are settled, I need to do a lot of (annoying) administrative stuff like calling to arrange for water, electricity, British Telecom land line, Broadband service, council tax, etc. Not to mention change in postal address with my bank, company, etc. and what nots. There are a thousand and one things to do and I am seriously getting stressed by it :( I am very thankful for Liandi and hubby who volunteered to help to move some stuff this weekend but the fact is that I am doing this very much alone if u get what I mean.

sigh, I just want this month to pass by quickly and I can get settled down to my new place. I feel terribly sad at leaving my current place but yet I have no choice but to move out… I hope in time to come, I will love my new place as much, and also grow to love my extended period of me time. Wish me luck peeps. I really do need it at this moment in time.

Hello lovely,

I understand that it's a very daunting process to move into a new place - especially as your friends all seem to go back home at the same time.

Why don't you set up a forwarding address with the Post Office (think it's about £26 for 6 months) which means that you can change addresses one at a time and it's not that bad if you forget one. I always do that, peace of mind and all. Am around this Saturday and can help you if you want. I'm quite good at carrying stuff, have done it so many times myself. ;)

It'll be all worth-while once the hard stuff is over. Living on your own is such a nice thing and it'll help you be even more independant going forward. Let me know if I can help you at all - and if it's just happy thoughts! :)

Lots of love, you can do it!!!

Sabrina

P.S.: Had a Sally Lunn bun on Saturday and was thinking of you... xx

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 ...
