Ger is on hols till end of the year. While we have already planned the usual camps for them (they had just came back from their scuba/ archery/ bowling camps), I hope we won’t tear out too much of our hair out the rest of the time. LOL. I don’t believe in spoonfeeding entertainment or activities to fill out her day (after all she is quite independent and already has a plan of what she is going to do). She remembered that the quota of borrowed books is doubled to …

We went for an evening walk at Henderson Waves last weekend. It is better to go in the early morning when there are less mozzies and not so damn hot. The scenery is beautiful though. Most importantly, FOC ok.

I love how the kids make their own entertainment. LOL.

And of course there were idiots who don’t know how to read signs and insist on smoking and polluting the air. Common sense to know not to smoke in places where people take relaxing walks right? Apparently not.

I was so inspired by Walter’s self help tips “From Excess to Austerity” that I came up with my own little guide based on our own practices-

Eating at home. From the time my girls were babies till they were old enough to eat ‘outside food’, I have been cooking for them. Ever since Big took over the cooking (unlike me who had to cook out of necessity and duty, he loves to cook), I no longer have to wake up at 6am in the morning to put the herbs and …

We went to 东风发 at Maxwell Food Centre for chicken rice (forget 天天, it’s over-hyped). After dinner, we decided to take a sightseeing stroll at Temple Street and Chinatown.
We saw miniatures of lion dance props, Chinese paintings, calligraphy and drawn fans, jade jewellery, cheongsams, embroidered shoes - a whole condensed world of the Chinese culture. I was sorely tempted to get a pair of the exquisitely embroidered cloth shoes but where on earth would I wear them to? LOL.

I come from a pure Cantonese family where my maternal and paternal parents are Cantonese. One side of the family being Cantonese is quite enough for most but in my case, I got the double whammy.
Being Cantonese, I believe, is a whole culture in itself. The particular attention paid to our family traditions, wedding customs and cuisine, and not to mention our idiosyncrasies, make us a very unique dialect group. In this aspect, I think the Cantonese are not unlike the Peranakans - …

We bought Crayola sets for the children to doodle while I played at being Nigella again.

I used some yogurt in this batch. The taste is slightly tangy and the texture is light.

Love the colour!

For the girls - a layer of Hazelnut cream and then an explosion of colours. I wish I had captured Gean’s face on camera when I gave it to her. She practically squealed with delight.

For Big and the girls. Yes, the girls polished off two cupcakes each! As supper.
I am planning …

I was on leave today and we decided to chill at Sentosa beach and go via cable car! As usual, we are blessed with good weather whenever we go on family outings.

Boarding at Mount Faber

Thankfully we all do not suffer from motion sickness and were able to enjoy the scenery without discomfort. It was a tad warm though.

The scenery!

We went to Coastes at Siloso Beach. It’s under the Emerald Hill group so we had the fabulous ICB pizza (prawns and tomato pesto!) and their famous grilled chicken wings. …

We brought the kids to Hort Park on Saturday and the weather was glorious, to say the least.

Beautiful bed of green to lie on

Reminds me of rice terrains

Nice application of recycling

I love this pic! Big really captured the moment

A happy one together.

Flowers in the glasshouse.. Gorgeous!

Beautiful blooms of flowers everywhere.

The older I get, the more I enjoy Saturday mornings. Perhaps it’s the quiet solitude that comes with being the first to rise, or maybe it’s the unbounded joy of not having to be at work. Either way, the first few …
