Czech out my new friends! :)

I have been exposed to the Czech community quite frequently thanks to M. Her brother and 3 friends came over last week while I was away. I met them when I got back, and they left 2 days later.

I have a confession. Can I be totally honest that I wasn't looking forward to having so many guests in the flat, especially there is only one toilet. And after a week of holiday, I just want to nua, do nothing and not talk or entertain people. Unfriendly B I know. But I'm sure you know what I mean right.

However, after meeting them, I felt so bad because they were such a lovely bunch of people! *hangs head low in shame*

Little did I realise they had planned this trip exactly a year ago, and this is M's best friend we are talking about. They literally grew up together since the day they were born, and are closer than sisters. And then there is A, her brother (who has rippling muscles btw lol) and his model quality girlfriend M. She is tall (very tall at 1.82m *gasp*) and slender, I feel really tiny next to her. They invited me to have dinner with them for their last dinner in London (M was the chef du jour). They made every effort to speak English and made me feel very welcomed (yes B had to be made to feel welcome in her own home haha)

The Czech bunch

umm.. n me in my pyjamas! aiyoo I was asked to help them take a pic before I went to bed and M insisted I take one with them too. Now they call me the pacman girl. oh my goodness hahaha!

A parting photo that says "London Expedition 2010"

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
