Baby Shower


Yesterday I attended a surprise baby shower for one of the girls Beatrice, from my connect group, organised by Liandi. She and Monica spent a lot of effort, right from buying of ALL the presents (there were easily 50 of them and each wrapped up so beautifully in brown paper and sweet pink ribbons), to baking of pink cupcakes and preparing the rest of the food, to the decor. It was beautiful.

It was meant to be a surprise but we ended up waiting for 3h for our guest of honour. So while waiting, all of us were sipping hot tea and having chips while admiring the snow outside (ok maybe just me.. the rest seem not as interested as me haha). Beatrice was held up by something urgent and because there was heavy snow she almost cancelled it since she's very pregnant. Thank God that didn't happen.

I had to rush off before the baby shower ended because Marketa and Sarah were coming over for dinner. I had a sudden idea to rearrange a bit of my furniture, well more of my dining table to a spot nearer to my kitchen. Sarah thinks it's much better... I think it's good for a change.

This is probably the first time I am posting pics of my (tiny) living room.

The table used to be at the right of the coffee table.

Because of the weather, the leather sofa is too cold when you sit on it, so I've used my very-pink towel (which is useless in absorbency) as a sofa throw and used the extra guest pillows as cushion. Looks so girly - I like.

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 ...

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'...
