We successfully celebrated Chloe’s 6th birthday at the bowling alley with the help of family and friends who attended the party. Chloe had a blast - the weather wasn’t the best - but it could have been worst.

Quite a few people came - and those who didn’t .. didn’t even call to say they weren’t coming - even though they had say they were - but no worries we still had a good time.

Chloe’s cake - she chose it herself and a friend’s sister made the awesome cake for her. Thank you .. Crystal..!!!

And this year.. it was special because Aunt Helena was in town - so was able to attend her birthday party.

So PB’s first cousin got married a few days ago. When i first met them.. they were still kids in school. But i’ll have to say .. the twins are awesome kids.. and grew up to be awesome adults. I bet her parents are proud of her.. and when the pastor asked “who gives her hand in marriage” - her father replied, ” her mother and I” .. I wanna cry..!! I love weddings.. donch you ..??

Do you see what my lil’ brat is wearing on her neck..?? she calls it her “key” .. because she heard me and PB talking about me .. getting a key for my pictures and movies. And now she insist on wearing it… how geeky is that..? I can’t wait for her to grow a little older.. to bring her home to Singapore.. during Christmas.. i bet she would be so fascinated by all those digital signage on all the streets around town.. and in Orchard Road especially. But i also know that things changed a lot since i left .. and I can’t wait till i get home .. i really missed home.

I have many friends in the States that I keep in touch with constantly but I have a really bad habit of not carrying my little telephone book around with me. Of course those are the times when I want or need to call them. I kinda remember the numbers but most times I’m not sure or get them mixed up, so what better way then to use an online phone book search to make sure that the phone number really matches. It’s pretty easy to use and goes by the state they are in and it’s absolutely free.

Once upon a time.. i would never think of eating leftovers.. because my mother didn’t encouraged it.. when we were young. She said.. it gave us wind in the tummy.. thus making us sick. Well.. we also didn’t have a microwave then.. when we were young.

But these days.. i would meticulously picked out all the meat.. that chloe doesn’t wanna eat.. and put it in a container.. and eat them with my instant noodles..

Once upon a time.. i eat sushi everyday.. ! you can ask my God-daughter, Enna & Sandy.. they both can vouch for me.. coz’ Enna got her first job in this japanese restaurant that i frequent.. because i eat there everyday. And i bring Sandy for company for my meals..

But these days.. i eat only frozen sushi.. and bad (lousy, sub-standard) frozen sushi for the record.
