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...

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 ...
