The little red dot beckons..


Am heading home for Chinese New Year very soon!  I have started my meet up schedule as usual and I am conscious that I am unable to meet everyone due to time constraints while juggling between family and friends.  Will be meeting a few people whom I had missed last October, and will be missing some friends, secretly hoping I won't offend them when they find out I've been back.  I can only say "Sorry!".  I've since established a group of "core friends" which we will meet up faithfully when I am back in town :)  This trip is a little special because the Queens' Exchange girls will finally meet up as a group with Pris/Steph (and now Sammy) back in Singapore too!  We will be having our little reunion which I am looking forward to!

Strangely I find that I've got a lot of requests this time from friends asking me to help them buy stuff.. over the past few years I have had requests, big and small, some ahem a bit ridiculous which I shall not mention :X heh This is a difficult one because I tend to stuff my luggage full of stuff for my family so most of the time I am unable to help friends (or even friends of friends) get stuff from here.  Hope to get some understanding here if you are one of those reading to whom I've said no to before :)

Colleagues are envying me because right after getting back from Christmas and New Year's, I am gearing up for a two week break!  *secretly smiling to myself* hehe

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

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

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?
