Happy 1st Birthday Charlotte Baby!

Charlotte turns one! Happy Birthday my baby girl!

It was not easy planning a birthday party for a little girl especially when we are overseas. There is so much to do and if it wasn't for daddy, there will not be a party at all. I think Derrick really made full use of his 24 hours when we were back in Singapore to make sure that the party can take place. He has to take care of everything by himself. I am so amazed by how he can do so many things in a day.

I guessed the party turned out pretty well. There was just the right amount of food and the place wasn't as cramped as I thought it would be too. I was very surprised that about 80 people can squeeze into the tiny but empty HDB of ours. It was a pity that the birthday girl was so overwhelmed by the crowd that day though. She was so overwhelmed that she was as clingy as a koala. I had to carry her everywhere and definitely cannot be out of her sight. Thus, it wasn't easy taking her photos that day especially photos of her looking at the camera.

Charlotte's sweet and pretty birthday cake was from Bloomsburybakers and it was a birthday present from her godmama Steffi. Since she is into all things round like balls and balloons, we decided on a balloon as a cake topper. The cake tasted as good as it looked. The top tier was red velvet and the bottom tier was speculoos. Charlotte sure enjoyed her cake.

We managed a few pics before Charlotte went all cranky.


The birthday girl only started to be her happier self after most people left the party and after she changed into her pj.

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 ...

Bigger Issue

Now a bigger issue has risen for us to worry about. Due to unfortunate circumstances, LA seems to be going through an apocalypse. Everyone is told to stay at home. Schools, libraries, malls, everything is closed. No more dine in restaurants, only take out and delivery. Only shops that are open are mainly grocery stores and there are either limited food choices or there are queues to get in so as to ensure "social distancing". This "social distancing" is the in word now. I am not very sure about this term. But the distancing sux. It's so quiet everywhere, I feel like a zombie would appear in front of me any moment.  I just got news that even playgrounds will be closed starting tomorrow. How scary is that? Even though it has been scary going to the playground these days because we always end up being the only family there, at least the kids get to run a round a bit.  It is tough staying home with 2 kids. I feel frustrated and a bit lost. I don't want Ch...
