V Day

Such a deceiving title haha. I'm not celebrating Valentine's Day. I probably won't even remember today if Charlotte's school didn't ask the parents to prepare 21 V day cards for her classmates. My V day memories in the past all revolve around my girl friends. I think that's one plus points about being in a girl school. We get to celebrate on this particular day even if we don't have another half. We don't care about boys last time. We were so happy celebrating it among ourselves hah. We just called it friendship day and gave each other gifts like flowers, chocolates etc. anything that couples give each other. Those were the happiest and best times. In fact, I don't remember much of the celebrations after getting a partner. I'm too lazy to think hard about it anyway. Probably just dinner, flowers and gifts.

After having a kid, dinner flowers and gifts became even more of a past. I know many couples still celebrate this day. We on the other hand don't even go for dates. Some of the friends I made here were shocked to hear it. But I think it is perfectly fine. As long as Charlotte is behaving and happy, I'm happy she's around me.

I'm still not over the disturbing fact that is to come. I'm trying to suppress the thought but it's so hard! Der has been asking me what's up. It is something that I can't say it out and even if I do, what can he do? Must as well shut up about it and hopefully the feeling will go away (I doubt hah). It's not like I hate my mil but I just don't want conflict and unhappiness esp when my hormones are all going crazy after I deliver. I'll probably be even harder to get along at that period of time. I remember even screaming at my own mother at home during my previous confinement. Well, it may seem rude but this is the way I was growing up. I speak my mind and always end up quarrelling with my mum 90% of the time we are together. That's why I like being overseas. Doing things my own way without judgement and it is possible even though my mum always think we can't survive without her. I think I did perfectly fine and I'm happy with my own freedom. I know this will not be forever but I'm really enjoying being away while it last.

Ending this post with a random posey pic of Ms Charlotte.

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...

Happy Chinese New Year!

JetSaver Light Challenge - Penang Trip

A very big Thank You to Jetstar and JetSaver Light! We had an AWESOME trip. Not only was it a cultural and stomach full filling trip filled with nothing but one of the very best food :), we also experienced the affable nature of the people in Penang and most importantly, we made many friends to keep :) Below was the itinerary that got us selected. And we're proud to say that we completed everything mentioned and accomplished even more. Wednesday, 1st July  marks JetSaver Light inaugural flight to Penang and also our, team 4's (GO! Go! team 4!!), inaugural trip to Penang on Jetstar with a budget of SGD60. After the initial briefing and collecting of our SGD60 which we converted to  RM144 , we were all ready and excited to jet off. Checking out the duty free at terminal 1 before boarding . Upon our arrival at Penang, we were warmly welcomed by a group of local performers . A surprising start to the trip. A photo taken together with 2 of the performers outside Penang International...
