ah...the other love which I miss dearly, The Straits Times. It is always a joy to have it greet me first thing in the morning!
Singapore, the food paradise
Each time when we are home, we must eat our local food. You will never understand the craving for home food until you are out of home!
Pork Congee with raw fish. It was superb! In fact, the best in town
Char Kway Teow (Fried rice noodles). If you are keen to know more, check out this site char kway teow
O-chian (Oyster omelette) The dish consists of an omelette with small oysters. Edible starch is mixed into the egg batter, fry together. A little spicy and sour chilli dip makes the dish speechlessly good
There were alot more to eat but... the mouth is willing but the tummy is weak!

Someone shut out the sun
We are now back in Singapore for the Spring festival or the Chinese New Year! We thought we have left the cold behind in SH and could enjoy some sunshine but alas, it has been raining non-stop for the past three days. Ths kids are dying to have some sun and do some swimming. Yes, yours truly also need to do some work, knowing it will be non-stop chompping down all the new year goodies in the days to come!
Well,rain or shine, we are still going to enjoy ourselves!

Baby teeth no more
My unusual collections
The bottle on your left contains Ann's baby teeth. So far, she has lost top two and bottom two. Yes, it is that time of her life. Teething period. Adult teeth replacing all her baby teeth. In fact, I must comment that Ann kept her teeth in perfect condition. Since she turned three, her twice a year visit to the dentist has been very faithful. The bottle on your right, of course, contains Kai's baby teeth. As you can see, he has almost replaced all his baby teeth. He will be turning 11 in two months time, it is about time to lose them all. My baby who kept me awake both day and night, will soon become a teenager.
Oh yes, both bottles even have records on which day their first tooth dropped off!
Told you, I am a sentimental freak. I have even framed up their baby booties, I have kept their dried up, wrinkled umbilical cord stump with the date recording when it fell off!
With each tooth falling off comes a fresh new wrinkle!

No, I wasn't dreaming...
I have this habit of looking out of my window once I get out of bed in the morning. Yes, even in Singapore, I love to do it. Looking at the early morning heartland activities is something which not many of us have the chance to enjoy.
This morning, as usual, I woke up and looked out of my window.
Was I dreaming? Was I back in Macungie, PA?
This was what greeted me this morning? This is Shanghai!
The amazing thing about the Chinese is that, come rain, sun, snow or hail, their activities go on. I remember when I was in USA, during the winter months, there were no bikers or cyclists. The town was almost empty
That's a whole lot of snow in a city which hardly see snow
Kids were dismissed early today and the school will be closed tomorrow due to the bad weather. Yes, it was bad. The car almost crashed onto a van in front as the road was too slippery...all so familiar...
