Favourite local fare with Mum as the model... She's my eating partner in Singapore, I'm often the blame for weight gain everytime I go back to Singapore for a visit. =)

A day out with Mum and little B for Japanese food




Look at the Bento box, tempura... Little B looks pretty happy with what she's having...


Mumsy and her soba, I got hungry so I started tasting.. hmm
poor little B..

But nothing beats the home-cooked food that mum makes... shes' the queen, steamed white promfret is my personal favourite.. can't really get that here in Sydney .. I'll really have to search far and wide.



The fantastic spread Mum cooked up. Stir fried vegetables, sambal prawns, steamed promfret, chicken soup and TAU YEW bak. Mmmmmmm






Tau yew bak....









Food glorious food... what am I still doing in Sydney???
Perhaps being away forces the mastery of the skills required to produce such fine cuisine..BUT heeh sorry Little B and lili.. I'm stealing mum for the week..

She's coming this Friday!! Woohoo.. I can't wait..

Dum Dee Dum


Dum Dee Dum


I'm looking through my journal and my ibook while waiting for Johanna, Rena and Honey to come over for dinner.. Just felt like musing..

Musing about God's grace and leading, how close He is and how incredible the Holy Spirit leads us and convicts us of leading a life holy and pleasing to Him. I rejoice because He is in every aspect of my life, concerned about every little detail. Wow.

Watched "Love actually" on Monday. It was described as a feel good movie for Christmas time and yes it makes me feel good and allows me to muse at the writer's different aspects of Love in our world and approaches to Love at different stages, cultures and statuses even!
Love between Husband and wife, between a man and woman speaking two different languages, Love for a sibling, love for a son, Love for a best friend.

Next I LOVE Bridget Jones, maybe cos I relate to her classic statement of which I've mastered imitating,
"But I embarass you and Yes I'll always be a little bit too FAT..."

Her little antics, stupidity, often times foot-in-the mouth statements and yes weight... I can so relate. And yet she finds herself loved by the most dashing, chivalrous, intelligent "he's too good for me" kind of guy.. who loves her 'just as she is.."
Sigh.... That's the girly chick in me. Can't escape that, yes even matured age, post-grad, mummy/careleader me. To have a love who loves you just as you are.. To me, its represented in Christ.. who doesn't mind my silly songs, funny dances, fat legs, chubby face, flabby arms, big mouth.

God defines it best in the famous 1Corinthians13 verse of what Love is, here goes

" Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs, Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. "
- 1Cor13:4-7


The Love of God never fails..
Thank You for protecting me and for the rainbow this afternoon.
Yes the storm has passed.
