Happy 2018!

Happy New Year! First came Christmas, then New Year Day just flew passed. I also finally passed my driving test here in LA. I never thought I could pass as Der was always saying how lousy I was. But I managed to! Well at least I am legal to drive now. So when the time comes, I could if I needed to.

Christmas was spent with a group of Singaporeans. It felt good to know other fellow Singaporeans in a foreign country. Feels like I am back in Singapore again when I am surrounded by people who speak in the same accent as me.

 Unlike Moscow, the Singaporean community here is not as closely knitted. There are just too many Singaporeans here and the place is too big. We all do not live very close by. Hopefully friendships will blossom and I will make new Singaporean friends like the friends I made in Moscow.

New Year eve was not a very exciting day. We spent the last 3 days of 2017 in Las Vegas (it'll be a separate entry) and when we got back, the kiddo fell sick followed by the adults. We spent New Year's eve and New Year's day chilling at home. But I did managed to hit the gym twice because Der was nursing a fever at home. Thus I had someone to watch over Charlotte while she naps. I was pretty happy about it. Felt good to be able to do some real running again.

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...
