New geek on the block

Yep that is me. The new geek, and more specifically, the iphone geek! I've been putting off signing on a contract here.. but after being laughed by friends for "still holding a dinosaur phone?!", I decided I didn't want no dino phone no more.

And so I finally ordered one on Tuesday! It arrived in the mail (I called to order over the phone) for me on Thursday and I was so excited! The sweet guys in my team were also very excited for me haha bless their hearts. It was like joining some fraternity group. Amit said "and so Belinda, this is how you waste your life away on the iphone. It's all a scam. Welcome to our world." And then they all proceeded eagerly to tell me the useful apps I could download.

Seriously it's such a powerful phone, and some of the apps are just scarily... powerful. Did you know there are a few apps which you can scan the barcodes of whatever products, and it searches on the net telling you the product description and how much is it selling for, and if you want to order it. Yes, scanning of barcodes on your iphone! Even the Tesco app (pardon me for being so "auntie"), it's so cool. You scan the barcode of a certain item using your phone, it identifies it and tells you how much it is, and you can add to your shopping basket, and then arrange for a delivery time. All on your phone. Isn't it brilliant?!

I really do think I will waste my life away on the iphone. A willing victim of the scam.

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'...
