2021

We are officially in 2021. Funny how time actually passes really quickly when we are just staying home and not doing much everyday. With the whole covid situation still going on in LA we did not travel in 2020. We did a couple of road trips but most of the time was spent at home. Our daily routine is to bring the kids out to release all their energy. Let mason take a nap in the afternoon and stay home thereafter.  Fortunately Charlotte goes to school (with a lot of days off due to Covid). It might seems boring but maybe I'm getting quite comfortable with the situation, I don't mind this routine. However I still hope I get to travel more and visit more places since I'm here which is the whole point of being overseas.

Our usual park day almost everyday if the sis is not in school. I love this rainbow t shirt my girl friends got for them.

Some fun things we did was to visit a pumpkin patch. Mason had a blast for his first experience. I personally love pumpkin patches too. It is cool to see so many pumpkins of all different sizes everywhere.



We managed to go trick or treating. Another blast! hah I think Halloween is probably Charlotte's favourite. We went to Little Tokyo on Halloween day as there was a free trick or treating event. It was really fun walking around and getting candies. Unfortunately, we did not get to dress up as a family of 4 again. Mason was an impromptu Superman. We remembered we had a cape and just decided to pin it on his back haha.


Social distancing way of getting our candies.
At the end of the walk, we got to spin a wheel for some prizes and lucky Charlotte won us a food voucher worth $40. We had a good dinner with that $. We ended the night with a walk around our neighbourhood for more candies!
It's been so long since I last blogged, I'm getting tired. Maybe more on the next post. Good night!

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...
