Race for Life - Let's Beat Cancer Together

Pics taken on actual day of run at Regent's Park...

All happy and excited before the run

It was a warm and beautiful day, look at the cloudless blue sky.

Me after the run

Chilling out after the run, would be perfect to have a picnic here straight after!

The atmosphere was amazing, girls were all in pink; some dressed up - pink tutus, pink wigs, pink fairies, pink wings - you name it. The most meaningful thing about this run is that every person has a message pinned on their backs saying "I am running for xxx" and somehow reading these messages of people running for their family and loved ones battling with cancer just kept me running thru'out the race. I guess it takes your mind off the fact you are running. It's good and meaningful distraction to have! Definitely will do it again if I have the chance to.

I know I've been rather quiet in updates recently, but before it's too late, just wanna say that I am taking part in tomorrow's Race for Life in Regent's Park! It's gonna be a 5km run/jog/walk (no pressure!) and all funds raised will go to cancer research. Everything's gonna be pink and girly - all for a good cause! So if you are feeling up to it, feel free to browse my donations page (click on the logo on your left) to support me. This page will be opened till 21 July.

Thanks all and happy weekend!

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'...

Our Seoul Adventure (Part 1)

Gosh life has been non-stop since coming back from Seoul.  Work has been very busy, and then Izzy had stomach flu and I was a bit under the weather too.  With this, one month just zoomed passed. Been meaning to continue our Seoul adventure. Day One To be honest we had a rocky start on the first day.  Our 2am flight was delayed till 3am and we were super groggy when we got on the plane.  Kids were sleeping and we had to wake them up.  The stewardess served us food at 4am and we had no appetite whatsoever.  Made worse by the turbulence which scared us so much.  I think in total we each slept about 4h that night.  So thankful that our kids love traveling and did not whine, but i did feel like i floated out of that plane into Incheon airport.  My original plan for Day One was to explore the palace area, have the famous ginseng chicken soup, and then visit the Bukchon hanok village.  Followed by a nice Korean BBQ for dinner.  The mo...
