24th Week

3 more weeks before I return to Singapore. I have been feeling perfectly normal these days in terms of physical well being. Except that this week, I look like Bao Qing Tian hahaaa. I always have lots of issues regarding my skin and I wonder when will it ever stop. When I'm old and wrinkled? It's not funny but i just cannot help but laugh at myself. I look super sun burnt after using a detoxifying mask on my face. Derrick said since it's summer, I can just tell people I went sun tanning. boohoo... By the way, it's not a cheapo mask that I have used. It's an AESOP mask! I guess it's because my skin is too dry to begin with to handle such a harsh mask. Unlike in Singapore where I am perpetually oil. So i basically call myself Bao Qing Tian this entire week. Fortunately, it's getting better and I can start to party this weekend hahah.

Movements of the baby can be felt more frequently these days. It's quite funny to see the tummy jiggle and wiggle. This happen usually after a meal when I sit down to rest. Its hard to imagine how a life can be growing inside my tummy.

I have yet to purchase any stuff for the baby but I still think I have lots of time to do so. Friends have been giving me tips and lists of things to buy. I'm still hopeful of getting more hand-me-downs. I am really thankful to all the friends that have passed me so many things. Kids stuff are so expensive these days and hand-me-downs can really save us a lot of $. The $ can definitely be put to use when the kid grows up and start to request for things.

Check out my bulging tummy that Derrick has been talking to everyday. This is a magnet that we have printed at a photo booth during the weekend. We had fun playing with the photo booth. It was like a neo print machine except we can print magnets.

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...

Happy Chinese New Year!

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....
