Surprise Flowers from the Housemate


I haven't been blogging much.. that is because I have been so busy at work that my life for the past month, especially the last two weeks have been just work, home, sleep, work work WORK... the cycle continued.  It was very frustrating and I was just looking forward to that light at the end of the tunnel on Friday 15th June.  June 15th marked the last day in my team and come tomorrow, I would be having a brand new start in another team!  Hurray!

I wasn't looking to move but since the opportunity came up, I decided to take it because as K and all my friends around me said, I haven't been happy in this team ever since I joined anyway.  Deep down, I believed that God heard my prayers (He still does!) and literally delivered me out of the pits.  Like a Joseph in the bible.  I keep joking to my family to "please call me Joseph-ine!"

I remember blogging about it (a depressed post) back in December and saying I wished this season would be over soon and that I can look back to say with conviction "The Lord was with me."  Exactly six months later, I can declare that the Lord has delivered me from my situation!  Hallelujah!  :)  You really don't know how glad am I, and how much I have smiled this weekend.  The thought of leaving the team and moving to something better.  Don't get me wrong - I don't belittle my experience gained in this team for the past one year.  But I truly believe that God has used this short one year as a stepping stone for me to move me to where He wants me to be.  From my previous team, it was not the least possible to move to my new team.  This could be another stepping stone I don't know but I am just glad to be moving along the path He has laid for me.

Saturday morning, I saw some surprise flowers and a card from my housemate Marcia in my room.  She's so sweet, buying me some congratulatory flowers and a card to encourage me.  She has seen how I have been struggling and now she is very happy for me - that my light at the end of the tunnel has come.

Hallelujah, thank you Jesus!

Happy Bel :))

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'...
