Christmas Countdown in Berlin

Christmas started early for us this year as we headed to Berlin to soak up the festive mood at the various Christmas markets.
The Gendarmentmarket was the best of the various markets we went. There were choir carolling,  performances on stage etc. But food wise, they were generally the same for all the markets. Sausages predominates!

Of course these markets were not the most entertaining place for a 1 year old toddler. But Charlotte did enjoyed looking at the lightings everywhere and having junk food! Fries were her favourite! Feeling guilty for feeding her junk, we tried our best to visit some proper eating places so that Charlotte can at least have a proper meal. Pasta was the best bet whenever we travel.

We visited a kindercafe when in Berlin. Not only did the place entertained her, she enjoyed her food as well.

Berlin is considered a kid's friendly destination. We did managed to find something to entertain Charlotte whenever we were on the move. Like a random trampoline area.
We managed to visit the Berlin Wall memorial when the little one was taking a nap too. Travelling with a toddler means only 1 activity a day. It is impossible to do too much in a day.

As we forgo our stroller for this trip, the carrier was my best friend. Charlotte sure did gave me a good workout during this trip. But I think it made moving around much easier. We moved around mainly on public transports and it was a breeze. Derrick was a good navigator.

Waiting for our bus to arrive.
Our hotel was also a good choice. We had a pool where Charlotte could go take a dip in the mornings before we headed out.
4 days in Berlin just flew past with us visiting Christmas markets and allowing Charlotte to have as much play time as possible whenever she was awake. I guess she enjoyed herself as much as we did (it was also very tiring for us everyday when we returned to the hotel. This is the reality of traveling with a kid).

Bye Berlin!

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...

Having the Chills

If you, Derrick is ever reading this, I would suggest you close this page. It's my right to type whatever I want. I won't mince my words because this is my space. I hardly feel unwell and this not the best time to fall sick. Yet I'm having the chills. Whenever my boob hurts, I will start to get the chills and a little temperature. It had to come at the time when i'm feeling totally not in the mood to do anything. I think I should swallow a few more pills. What I had isn't enough. Guess feeling down really brings down one's immune system. We just got news that we will be moving back to Singapore and the first thing that came to my mind is F*** I've to face her. That fake face (literally fake. No amount of make up helps la. old means old. draw what draw) who pretends she doesn't care or even when we talk face to face she says no no it's ok. PUI! Der will be unhappy reading this but i blame it on him for making the situation like this. No amount of ...
