Doing Well....

Charlotte's 3rd ballet lesson went well! She paid more attention this time and made more effort to follow through the class. But at her age, she is still not able to do most of the movements properly. She cannot even put her legs together to bend up and down. She will just squat down in an unsightly manner, looking like she needs to poop hah. But as long as she tries to follow and does not cry during class, I am satisfied. A parent with a 2 year old kid was surprised that she was able to follow through as she said that her kid does not have the discipline to do so. Hah tell me about it. If the mum was around during Charlotte's 2nd lesson, she would have thought otherwise. Kids are so unpredictable. One day they are good, the next they are just screaming and crying away.

Swimming this week went well too. I made a reminder in my head that I should try to push Charlotte's limit a little. Since she has attended quite a couple of swim classes, it is time i let go a little more. At least Charlotte is now able to strike a pose like she is about to dive in the water (hands straight up above the head, head and body bent) even though the actual dive doesn't look as great as her pose hah. She even made an effort to let go of the side of the pool to swim towards me today. The teacher praised her today and I was happy about it. 3 more swim lessons and we are done with the package. Thereafter, it is time for us to head back to Singapore in June. It will be like summer break for Charlotte. She will have a whole new different routine when we are back in Singapore.

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....
