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

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'...

Memories made at Danson Park

I can't believe I still have readers to this dormant blog!  Thank you for coming back again :) In case you didn't know, our little family of four actually flew back to the UK together for the first time last November.  For me, I've been back twice with Izzy, and poor Gabriel kept asking when could he go back to London.  Finally K said we should take the trip together and also drive around northern France, our fav area to visit.  Well fav, in that it is very easy to get to from the UK and we have really grown to like the more rural parts of Brittany. I grabbed the chance to contact Joanne, who took some photos of the kids previously.  In fact I think she has seen my kids grow up, from taking Christmas photos to family photos. We were pressed for time and I had to do some convincing for K to agree to do this shoot... looking at the photos, glad i insisted on doing it.  More to document kids growing up well.. and us growing old  I plan to blog more about ...
