Happy Chinese New Year 2018


Chinese New Year this year is spent here in LA. No Lo Hei and not much of a CNY atmosphere at where we live. Unlike in Moscow where the Singapore community was more closely knitted and we had friends who love to cook!

However, we did made a trip back to Singapore for 3 weeks. We left just before CNY. We could not make it back in time for my brother baby's 1 month celebration but nonetheless Charlotte had fun playing with baby Ava during our time in Singapore. She couldn't stop kissing her the moment she laid eyes on baby Ava.

For this trip back to Singapore, we managed to meet up with a lot of people and had our reunion dinners with all of our family members.

Reunion with friends and Charlotte's god mummies.

The Moscow community also managed to catch up due to Dylan's 21st birthday. I think it was pretty amazing to have everyone coincide and be in Singapore at the same time!
Charlotte managed to catch up with her little cousins and the pictures were simply too cute.

Last but not least, Charlotte's highlight was probably meeting her best friend, Sienna. They grew up together in Moscow and I think that was Charlotte's most memorable part of her life in Moscow - having a friend called Sienna.

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...

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....
