Happy 2019!

And just like that, we bid farewell to 2018. No count downs or late night parties. Just staying in our LA home with a sleeping toddler in the bedroom and watching The Marvelous Mrs Maisel. Even the fireworks were seen over the television haha. Sounds sad if you compare to the teen years where partying outside is the norm. But gone were those days. I'm happy staying in, in my PJ as long as I've peace and quiet.

I presume 2019 will be a hectic year as the little boy in my tummy will be out in April. With another addition to the family, I believe the year will just go pass without even me noticing. Days with Charlotte as a baby went by as a blur. Looking at her now, I always wonder how did she get so tall and has a mind of her own now? She is becoming quite a handful these days. Everyone is always deceived by this innocent looking face of hers.
Anyhow, the first day of 2019 was a good start. We hosted a gathering for our friends. This was the second time we hosted. The first was on 2018 Thanks Giving. We did a steam boat. It was good food and good fun!
We do enjoy hosting just that the process of getting there takes time as we are kinda lazy and indecisive at times. I'm glad we did. We had a Nasi Lemak feast on the first day of 2019. My first time cooking for so many people. The food turned out well and everyone enjoyed the lunch. I'm happy that we finished everything, leaving no leftovers!
The kids had a good time playing together and of course arguing at times. They even had a little yoga session or more like yoga video watching after lunch hah.
It will be a while before we see everyone again. Everyone will be busy with CNY and heading back to Singapore to catch up with families. Same with us. We will be heading back mid of Jan till the end of the month. Till the next time we all gather 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...

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....
