Dear Isabelle | 26 months


Dear Isabelle

You are now 2 years + 2 months old, and more importantly, you are a big sister!  As anyone can imagine, mummy and daddy have our hands full with both of you kiddos but you have eased into your big sister role with much ease.  When you first met Gabriel, you pointed at him and called out "baby brother!"  And when he cried in the hospital crib, you looked worried and said "baby's crying!"  You are talking so so much now baby girl (and yes you will always be our beloved baby girl).  We can have conversations with you and most of the time we understand what you are talking about.  Your childminder keeps telling mummy that you are talking so well, and you often make them smile with your comments.




Big sister

This was a FaceTime screenshot which my aunt took.
So happened both were looking into the camera.


The other evening, mummy and baby Gabriel came to pick you up from the childminder and on the way home, as usual, you were munching on your favourite biscuits.  Mummy told you "Isabelle you are a big sister now to baby Gabriel.." She listened and replied "You are big mommy.  And big daddy!"  Too cute for words.  When Gabriel cries, you will tell mummy "Baby brother's crying!"  And if you spot his milk bottle on the table, you will climb up the chair and try to help by retrieving the bottle for Gabriel.  Sometimes you rush to take a new nappy for me.  You are so full of affection for baby Gabriel, and we are so heartened to see this.  In fact the other morning you wanted to show your love for him by sitting on him!  Luckily mummy saw it in time and managed to whisk you away.






Thank you Izzy for taking on this new role with pure grace and love.  We adore seeing how much you are showering your little brother with affection everyday.

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 ...
