1st day without maid...

We survived our first day without our trustworthy domestic helper!!!
Ying Hong cried at the airport, bidding her beloved Auntie goodbye at the departure area.
She was keen to help with Laundry and dishes in the evening, turning out her dad's pants to dig out coins, paper, etc before putting into the washing machine.. and said it was fun doing household stuff.. so proud of her.
These few days she will be spending her day in mum's place, with her hamsters tagging along (mum freaking out!).. haa.. what holiday fun for her.
And then soon we will be off to our holiday in Japan!!! yippie!

Sumptious movie.. Julie & Julia

Just watched "Julie & Julia" (dvd of course, and technically I have not "watched" cos I am still watching it now) . It's so enjoyable and inspiring.. 2 women who were hard working, passionate and determined, gave all their heart to doing something --- cooking --- and were rewarded in the most deserving ways, and proved that with a will, everything is possible.
That's the way to live...

Changes..

I am so lucky to have a wise and loving mum. She is so right about one thing.. we often ask for commitment before we willingly commit. How many of us can love unconditionally and give selflessly out of love.
From now.. will just stop asking for commitment from others. Will let go, and just focus on how to grow myself into a better version of me.
Am glad mum was able to join Yinghong and myself for tea just before we started shopping at "Tampines One". YingHong was so happy to see "popo". And of course, she was delighted with her macarons, and the raisin bread.

New discoveries!!!

Thanks to Alicia and Joyce, explored 2 F&B outlets and they are both superb!
KPO (Killiney Post Office) is super cool.. love the ambience, and food! An ideal chill-out place.
"District 10" cafe also have surprisingly good quality food.. yummy! Ying Hong loved her Spaghetti Carbonara. Will definitely return..
