Sick week - Myself

I was sick seriously enough after many years. I was feeling unwell, body ache and a fever when I'm back to work after my holiday. The truth was I didnt sleep well on Sunday night because Skyler had an unrest sleep. Nothing more disturbing than this at night. I ended up waking up many times that night just to make him feel assure. (Skyler always has dreamful sleeps, out of 7 days if I am lucky I will get him to sleep peacefully and not whining for 4 nights. It is not night terror just that he has full of dreams.) I proceed with my work after I managed to put him in childcare. Back in office, I felt super tired. I tried taking all the booster I have to keep me going for the day. Once come 4pm, I realised my body ache was getting serious and I knew something was not right. I knocked off as early as 5:30pm hoping I will not be in the human jam. My collick told me I looked terrible that point of time. I went straight to the clinic once I reached my estate and I was running a fev...

Baking Lesson 2

Image
I really enjoyed the baking lesson, although we all only sit and watch Chef Goh making the cakes but there were so much jokes around and yes many aunties attending the class too. I am one of the aunty now. Today we are learning how to make fruit cake or fruit flan. It looks so easy for Chef Goh and seriously it is so delicious. Now I can make cake like this for kids for birthday. Law said the cake taste so fresh and delicious.

PSLE Result release for Julian

Image
The big day is here and we are all anxious. We have our breakfast, then went straight to the school because there is limited parking lots in the HDB estate. The result release supposed to be at 11am but the VP did some brief on the school selection and then the principal came and gave some talks and she started naming all the best behavior, good leadership students etc..  We waited very long, nearly to 12noon then she ended everything she wanted to say and show. The teacher started giving out the result slips.  We are searching for Julian, trying to see his facial expression. I have to task daddy and Janelle to go to him as we are sitting at the back of the hall. When I saw Julian appeared, he doesnt looks good but daddy got to see the result 1st than Janelle. What I saw was Julian breaking into tears? He is not a person who has tears of joy, not for him at this age. What came to my mind was - Did he did badly? Why is he so upset? I told Skyler he had to hug his brother wh...

My 1st baking Class

Image
I was looking for baking class to attend and have the intention to sign up for professional diploma class but I didnt. I chanced upon a banana cake recipe which so many people on the facebook and blog talking about and they all pointing to Chef Richard Goh. I google and then baking class popped up. He taught baking classes in community center and not expansive. I decided to sign up for his class at Cairnhill CC but little did I know I signed up a stage 3 class. After attended his 1st lesson I guess stage 3 is not a big problem for me since I have baking background and understand the baking terms. 1st lesson and we were taught how to make our own log cake for xmas. Why spend $50 for a log cake?

Train to Busan

Image
We brot along 3 luggages and this is the weight in the beginning of our holiday. Last year when we visited Korea, the Korail is still operating from incheon Airport but this yr they stop cos nobody taking so we have to take Arex which is the fast train to Seoul station to change to Korail to Busan. The Arex train is comfortable. Here we reached Seoul station. It was cold outside. Ready to board the train. The staff chose a face to face seat for us so at this angle we are facing the kids. I bot some food at Seoul station to bring up the train so the kids can eat something while travelling. Janelle into BTS, so excited to see a coffee bottle with her idol. We reached Busan around noon time. There are shops n restaurant just below our apartment. Busan is famous for their pork soup and we tried one below our apartment. This is the back alley view. There is a Samyeon market just around the corner. I'm super happy to view the market. I heard autumn is the ...

After trying out the recipe from this chef. I decided to sign up the lesson he conducted. I told Law I wanna sign up and I did it ytd. *applause* If good I wanted to sign up for intermediate and advanced class too.

Korea Korea Korea 2018

Image
Always find anticipating is sweeter and more exciting than the actual moment. Finally we will be flying off for our year end holiday tmr. However the recent re-org in the office has create quite a toll in me. Work scope is 3x more and much heavier and we are suppose to take over the roll in 3 months time. Luckily whoever is handing over to me is my ex-team mates and they promised to assist as much as they can after the transition. Back to the travel preparation. Although it is not the 1st time traveling to Korea but I still find headache doing the planning. So many places I wanted to bring the kids but yet I scare that it will bored them. Shopping I didnt dare to plan too much shopping as it may bored Julian but yet still want Janelle to really enjoy shopping at the sametime. Food I am expecting Julian to be more adventurous with korean food this time. I have so many yummy food I want to bring the kids to try as well. Some will be my 1st time trying too. More people will ...

The Coastal Settlement - a Birthday celebration for friends.

Image
It was my 1st time at Coastal Settlement restaurant which is located at Nevetheron Road. So near to my client sites but yet so inconvenience to reach. It was a birthday celebration for Shawn and Xiangwei. Quite nice and forest places. This finger food is not worth ordering. I think they using the frozen squid. So chewy and no squid taste. Spam fries is like a trend finger food now. Delicious - depends on the brand of spam you getting. What you think this is? At 1st look, I thought this is fried banana right. This is fried portabello mushroom with a truffle taste. Seriously I didnt think it was SO good as claim by my friend. I ordered the Tom Yam seafood pasta. Not as good as I thought.

Red eye days.

Red eye days for Skyler and incase he got rejected by the school. I decided that he should rest a week instead.

Garden by the Bay with new team members

Image
My new Dy head. He asked us not to smile. My young lead just behind my back. Seriously I'm quite scare of him cos he really can nag not stop. Is that RI trail? Surprisingly I began to enjoy working with him. He is very technical guy, very meticulous in his work and bother to explain his thinking. Super hardworking and I started to enjoy chatting with him. (I tried to be the listener in case he rebuke me not stop cos he is too logical thinking guy.) A relaxing afternoon at Garden by the Bay, we pull our lead so he will stop working and relax for a while. Not a good timing to visit GBTB now cos they are changing the season flowers. Such a cute stone sculpture.

Trying this restaurant for the 1st time. I ordered the set meal - salad because I wanna eat clean (as what my sister describe) Sis ordered a chicken dish which is great.
