Bel - a baby fan?

I have to admit that I am usually not a baby fan.  A few years ago I had a "memorable" experience having my friends who brought their 9 month old baby to London.  Staying with their baby for almost 2 weeks scared the hell out of me.  The baby cried so much in his high pitched and piercing tone that made me shudder in fear.  Everything revolved around the baby.  Even at night when I washed my hair, I couldn't use the hair dryer to dry my hair because his parents insisted the noise would wake him up and the crying would start again.  I was like "seriously??"  We all had to tiptoe around the house in fear that he would wake up and cry.  I felt like a prisoner in my own home!  And since then, I haven't been too keen on babies.  Especially crying babies - no thanks.  Even K says he thinks I am not a baby person.

And then... I met Sammy who took my breath away.  He is so different from the scary baby I mentioned above!  No crazy crying - at least from the few days I spent with him haha  (And I was allowed to use the hair dryer - hurray!)

How not to love these innocent eyes

He loves the camera and vice versa!



Just woken up.. clapping to the kiddy tune from his toy.

"Yayy!"  Getting ready to go downtown Stuttgart

Making a face here haha this cheeky boy

He found my iPhone and was trying hard to swipe the lock screen.
Heh Sammy you don't have my password!

"I wanna call my friend!"

"Hello hello?"

Our last cuddle at the airport before I boarded the plane
I cannot wait to see him again!

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'...
