Here in Los Angeles, LA

After a long 20 hours flight, with 1 transit in Narita airport, we finally arrived in LA. The flight was seriously too long especially when travelling with a toddler in the economy class. My butt started to ache during the second half of the flight. Charlotte was lying on my lap and my movement was restricted.

I also totally underestimated the memory of a 2 year old toddler. The moment Charlotte got on to the plane, she requested for me to make her seat into a bed. So she actually remembered her experience in business class from the previous trip. I was surprised but had to tell her apologetically that this seat was not able to do so. She whined a little then asked for a cup of orange juice (sound like a total spoiled brat).

In any case, we survived the flight. But now, the jet lag is the next torturing part. Charlotte is experiencing a horrible jet lag. She woke up at 2am and only went to bed at 8.30am. So she's still sleeping now at 3pm in the afternoon. I foresee another sleepless night for me. Shouldn't kids get over jet lag faster than adults? I think I'm over it due to the little sleep I have. I think I can just concuss the night away now.

Our first night in LA was spent in the nearest supermarket. Charlotte loved the trolleys there hah. Cheap thrill. Guess it will be another night out for us again due to Charlotte's current sleeping routine.

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...
