busy bel

I've been so busy that I have barely time to blog this past week! I have been wanting to blog about how I celebrated my birthday and before I had time to sit down and blog about it, it's Hillsong Conference 2009 at the ExCel Centre which I was so excited about because Pastor Prince is one of the guest speakers. At the same time, there was a big project roll out at work which I was in charge of and there were loads of testing on top of my daily PnL work. AND also at the same time, I had guests over for a week! All these in the same week!! Oh man, can you imagine. I was busy Bel.

But really thank God that it's all over now and I can sit down and have a cup of tea, enjoy some me-time... whoop!

I still don't have time to sort out some photos which I took but in short, I had a really wonderful birthday. It was like a buildup since Ceilidh dancing night on Friday. I met up with 3 different groups of people and had loads of yummy food on Saturday, Sunday and Monday!! Will blog about that definitely.

Hillsong Conference 2009 was awesome. It was much better than last year's. Perhaps last year I went pretty much alone but this year I had company so that makes a world of difference. Sarah and some of her ministry friends were full-on; they attended the whole conference from 7-10 Oct and they even booked some rooms in a nearby B&B to be close to ExCel. I couldn't take time of work due to the project so could only attend the night sessions but was happy enough. We all experienced our God-moments and the atmosphere throughout was amazing. I haven't been that excited over church for a long time but the day which Pastor Prince was supposed to preach, I seriously couldn't concentrate on my work in office! It's like attending NCC in London!

And lastly... the bigger event coming up is... I am going home for 2 weeks!! (I didn't even have time to feel excited about it!) So I think I need to set my priorities right by packing my luggage instead of sitting here blogging away... haha so I think I will only manage to blog when I am in Singapore. (Altho I wonder if it is possible with all my meet ups, etc... omg it's a seriously busy October month for me!)

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
