Happy (Belated) Birthday My Love

This is such a past dated post.  I had planned to blog about it after my grandmother's birthday.  And then Mr Lee Kuan Yew passed away which affected us and the nation badly.  I then blogged about my feelings: about Mr Lee, his contributions and how we are reaping the benefits of his leadership.  And if you are following me on Instagram, you would probably know that we then went away for Easter to Normandy in France.

K has not celebrated his birthday back in Singapore for at leat 7 years.  And this year finally he spent it with his family.  It was a simple day really.  As we were in Singapore and eating non stop, we started his birthday celebrations the night before at Ichiban Boshi at Great World City.


On the day of his birthday, we actually spent it at the Comex Fair at Suntec City!  He wanted to check out the latest tech gadgets and suggested going.  Which was a really good choice because it ended up me buying a new toy - my Samsung Tab S!  I saw it the night before at Great World City and with it placed on top of the keyboard I thought it looked so cool.  Long story short, we saw that it was the star buy of this year's Comex Fair and with all the freebies that came with it, it was so hard to say no!

Comex Fair done, we went back to K's place and had a family dinner with his mum, sister, and his brother's family.

Back home after dinner, the kids got really excited about the ice ceam cake which they chose for their uncle.  They played with the little bit of dry ice that came with it and lighted the birthday candles.


Everyone singing in unison.  Since this is a rare occasion - K celebrating his birthday at home, mama Ong actually asked him to pick four lucky numbers :)




Excuse the mush...

Happy birthday my dear hubby.  You are such an amazing person with no ounce of temper nor anger.  You are always generous to the people around you and love your wife selflessly.  You take care of the household, and ensures all bills are paid.  I take care of food and ensure we have happy bellies.  Together I think we make quite a good team?!  I pray that you walk in health and happiness all the days of your life, and may God grant you the desires of your heart.  Love you so much.  Keep smiling. :) 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 ...
