Happy Birthday my love!!

It is 19th March here in Singapore (just passed midnight) and today is a special day which makes me wish I were back in London. *drumroll* It is K's birthday!!

I was a little sad that I would not be spending his birthday with him today as his birthday and my grandma's birthday are days apart. After some discussion he agreed that I should be home and I can always celebrate with him when I am back.

These 12 days apart I made him agree to send me a selfie everyday (hehe hence what you see above). He is not the super romantic kind of person with sweet mushy texts or calls, so I think a selfie everyday is a good idea. Since we met, I have noticed that he prefers to show his love through practical ways, like driving me everywhere (including shopping which is a miracle lol, though he nags I should probably get serious on getting my driver's licence soon), we take turns to cook meals after work (he is quite a good cook - yay to that!), and he gives good foot rubs (my fav!). From our pre-marriage course, it was clear that his language of love is through acts of service. Whereas mine is through giving gifts! Above all what I appreciate is that he doesn't ever, ever get angry - his temperament is unbelievable I am surprised such a person exists - and so I consider myself a blessed girl :)

Happy birthday dear, and I hope you have an awesome day ahead!! I pray that this new year, God continues to shower you with His unending love, wisdom, favour and divine health. May He open more doors of opportunities for you and prosper you in your ways. May this be your best year yet! Much love, Bel :) xx

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
