Christmas 2013

Wed 25 Dec

Arrived home on time for Christmas lunch at the Club.

After a short shopping trip to Suria which we didn’t return empty-handed (except for Bikia), we decided to eat in as there were plenty of food at home, inclusive of leftover turkey and ham from the Christmas lunch.

At 9.15 PM, it was time for our Skype session with Austin where River showed us her progress.

Then we watched “Jab We Met” (When We Met), downloaded by Bikia (recommended by yours truly) until 1.30 AM. This was the first Bollywood movie I watched back in 2011 and that was when I discovered Shahid Kapoor (see below).

Thur 26 Dec

We were at the airport for Beh Ling’s flight back to Singapore.

Heavy downpour in the afternoon, so we stayed in until 5 PM. Then it was off to the Club where I did my exercise at the gym while Bikia uploaded some photos. 

Fri 27 Dec

Dad’s internet plan has been upgraded, for a lower price, and we now have wifi at home. In the evening, we headed to the aiport to send Bikia off.

Sat 28 Dec

Update from Bikia in Bangkok: No protesters around the main Sukhumvit Road shopping area. Had lunch at the food court and will be going to Wat Arun Temple tomorrow.

Fri 6 Dec

Mum and Dad landed at KLIA after a 9 hours delay at KK airport due to their cancelled flight. As for me, I landed at KLIA at midnight after an hour’s delay departing from Singapore.

Sat 7 Dec

Bikia had lunch with mummy. I went over to Bikia’s condo at 5 PM and we had our chat & woh teih snack before picking up Dad from his meeting venue.

For dinner, we were at Brickfields and decided on having mun fan, ginger chicken, kai lan, steamed egg and coconut water. After that, we headed back for the 9 PM Skype session with Austin 7 AM. It was the River Show for one and a half hours.

Sun 8 Dec

We headed over to Jalan Imbi for bah kut teh breakfast before mum & dad headed to the airport. As for me, it was back to housework and finishing some work.

Singapore Weekend

We decided to have a mini family gathering in Singapore since I was there for several weeks and Abikia could easily cross the border for a short weekend trip.

Fri 18 Oct

Met up with Bikia at 8 PM at Dhoby Ghaut station. After dinner at Plaza Singapura, we strolled along Orchard Road.

Sat 19 Oct

While Bikia headed over to Sentosa Island, it was work for me and Beh Ling. We met up at 4 PM at Orchard. As Beh Ling was hungry, we headed to the food court and had bak chor mee (minced meat noodles) and yong tau foo. Then we headed over to Beh Ling’s condo at River Valley.

In the evening, we walked around Gardens in the Bay and watched the sound and lights show sponsored by OCBC. For dinner, we had Hokkien mee, nasi lemak, fried kuey teow and ice kacang. The Hokkien mee here is totally different from the Hokkien mee that you get in KL.

Sun 20 Oct

After church service, we decided to visit Esplanade. Then it was off to Chinatown for lunch before we headed to Marina Bay Sands. Amazing architecture.

A charming new photo of the royal baby and parents. Prince G has been making headlines and is an unstoppable media sensation...even when he's fast asleep.

Fri 6 Sept 

With 4th aunty is back in Klang since 1 Sept, Bikia met up with aunty and cousins Romina and Felicia. They had a Japanese meal at Mid Valley.

Sat 14 Sept 

As I couldn’t make it for the 6 Sept get-together, I met up with aunty and cousins in Klang. We had dinner with 7th uncle & family at a Japanese restaurant.

And now, some snapshot from River’s hectic schedule. From painting to swimming to smiling for the camera, it’s a busy life for 11 month old River.

Happy smile

The innocent look

Bright & cheerful smile

Bravely setting forth to a brand new world – the other side of the pool. Looks like she's waving goodbye to mum while dad pushes her off on her journey

Busy

Looking pensive. What's on your mind, River ?
