Back and Back Again

We went back to Singapore for 3 long weeks and now we are back in LA again! I'm currently sitting in my pj with my face mask on and enjoying the peace and quiet while Charlotte's in school.

3 weeks was a pretty good time but of course with more time I could always do more. Charlotte too had the time of her life. She loves Singapore so much, she is still telling me everyday that she wants to go back to Singapore. The main reasons are... she doesn't need to go to school and she can watch as many television programs as she likes. I hardly control her in Singapore just as long as she is not bothering me. I know it sounds terrible.

For this trip, Charlotte was a total different personality from the previous trips. She is totally not clingy to me at all. In fact, she volunteers to stay at home with my parents and my brother. She thinks going out for lunch or dinners with my friends an I are boring haha. She adores my brother so much because she gets whatever she wants when she is with him. He brings her out to swim, play, eat ice cream and french fries. I think no kid will say no to it. She even said she wants to sleep with him every night!

The lazy duo
Total enjoyment



We did some touristy stuff on this trip like visiting the Singapore Flyer.



We met up with many friends too!




Since it was the month of October, we cannot missed celebrating the little monkey's birthday in advanced. We also celebrated my dad's birthday in Sep and Der's birthday which falls in Oct as well.



With all the fun, Charlotte has been dreading to go to school everyday. She thinks Singapore is more fun than LA now. Wait till we head back for good and reality will hit her hard again.

The Orange Timber

Today was a pretty chill day, walking around, eating and reading my book! It has been a long time since I walked along Blk 85 market. I think the last time was during my sec sch days, on my way back to my grandma house after sch. Since I had breakfast there with my grandma today, I showed der the old sch cake shop where Cham and I bought a huge cream cake (not those fanciful ones we get these days) and finished it all by ourselves under the void deck! Der and I couldn't resist the temptation to buy a slice each :) Strawberry vs blueberry...Only $1.10 each. Those miniture ones that are sold at toast box cost $1.20 and they are only 1/3 the size of this! What a rip off for something nostalgia... Later in the evening, we decided to chill at The Orange Timber @ Tiong Bahru The Orange Timber is a cafe cum art gallery. The plates are bowl used were also meant to be something nostalgia once again... hah However, I use those cutlery at home too. There are like 3 sections to this small cafe

Pending Down My Thoughts for 2021

 10.07pm, 31 Dec 2021.  The year 2021 is coming to an end. The year of Covid. The year we left LA and returned to Singapore for good. It has been 9 months since we got back but I still feel like it happened so recently. One of the Singaporean family we met in LA and hung out very often is in town to visit. Charlotte asked if we can return to LA together. She asked if we are really not going back anymore. We all miss LA a lot. Definitely much more than Moscow even though Moscow is a very memorable place too.  Spent the day at Sentosa, The Luge. Kiddos had a lot of fun despite the heat. I enjoyed myself a lot too and I am missing the times we hung out in LA. Thinking about them going back and us staying behind makes me a little sad. The kids still got along very well even though we have not met for sometime. Hopefully their friendship will remain as they continue to grow up. Recap of 2021 1. I realized I can bake.  2. I love making bread or trying to make food cute. 3. Mason stayed home
