Faith’s Sunday Luncheon Outing With Grandparents

We did not make it to parents in law’s place on Saturday and in order not to deprive them from seeing their grandchild, we planned to do lunch on Sunday instead.



After our Sunday morning mass, we went to Crystal Jade at Great World City for lunch. It was crowded but we did not wait long to be seated. Faith was disappointed that her favourite char siew bao was sold out but was happy to have the ‘love’ bread I made for her.

There were some coin rides right outside the restaurant and since she had been a good girl during our lunch, we allowed her to take the rides. Though it was a mere short hours of bonding sessions with her grandparents, they were certainly happy to see her.

Faith’s New Hair Cut

It has been quite a while since I last trimmed her hair. Usually I will get yelled at after trimming her hair as most thought I did a terrible job… hahhahahahaa..
Anyway, I went ahead to trim her hair today as it was getting too long and she was somehow frustrated during her feeding time. Her fringe was also touching her eyes and that irritates her quite a bit too.

I was quite proud of myself that I had done quite a good job though I am no professionals. I was really glad that Faith was very co-operative in the process and stood still while I trimmed her hair.
After her hair cut, she quickly wanted me to take pictures of her. As promised, I did and am happy that I have my very own ‘in-house’ model!

In the evening, hubby came back earlier than usual from work as he wanted to bring little Faith to SingKids.


When we arrived at Changi Airport Terminal 3, we went straight for dinner as the queues at all the restaurants was long and it was very crowded on a Saturday evening. We queued at Crystal Jade Shanghai for a good 45 minutes before we were given a seat.

Faith seemed to enjoy the food so much that she had half portion of my ramen and followed by finishing up two char siew bao!!
After dinner, we walked pass SingKids and it was over crowded with kids and adults so, we decided to give it a miss this time. Thank God we didn’t tell Faith that we planned to bring her there… or else, she will be really disappointed. We will bring you there again soon darling.

Faith’s New Hobby

It came to my attention that our little Faith began to love taking pictures. It started when I was showing my mum some pictures on my iPhone and she too wanted to check it out and then, saw her pictures in my phone.

She then told me, “Mama, Tabi want to take photo.” At first, I thought that was very spontaneous of her and I took a few pictures. She found it very fun and started to pose with all her ‘friends’ aka her stuffed toys. She did not let me off that easily… before going to bed, she asked me to take some more pictures of her with her toys again.
She seemed enjoy taking pictures so much that she posed differently with each of her stuffed toys. Lastly, it was pretty thoughtful of her to have her pictures taken with us!

Guess I have to put up with her new hobby for a while…

Café Invited Guest

Ever since Alpha ministry was ‘sacked’ by Alpha Committee, we were hoping that someone will take us in and YES, our prayers were answered. Conny approached Mama Em with an invitation to have us sing for her Café.


Café is one of the ministries in BSC and they are mainly organising talks on evangelizations. I was really happy and excited when was told that we are ‘HIRED’ again! It was a 5 weeks course / talks on evangelization and it was indeed interesting. People who attended the talk were mostly Catholics.

Today, it came to the end of the course and in-conjunction with Mission Sunday, they invited 2 speakers to talk about their Catholic Faith. One of the speakers was our ex-minister Mr Lim Boon Heng. He is one very warm gentlemen and it was my first time meeting him in person though I know who he was.

He spoke about his life and how he became a baptized Catholic at the age of 21. His story was really moving and after hearing his story, I was somehow motivated to be a better Catholic though I considered myself as not too bad… haahaa…

After his talk, dinner began. Café Committee prepared light dinner for everyone who attended which was quite a big number. I heard from friends that there were about 240 attendees for the talk. Totally WOW!!! During the break, Mr Lim went around greeting most of us and stopped for a chat or a picture. Such a warm gentlemen.

We had a great time singing for the crowd and listening to the interesting talks by Mr Lim and Ms Andrea Fung.
Thank you Lord for having us back to serve you and your people.

Italian Lunch

La Pizzaiola became one of our favourite hangouts since the first visit… all thanks for my ‘Twin’ who brought us there for dinner.


Brought hubby there on a Sunday afternoon for lunch and he fell into love ever since. The food served here are simply delicious and prices are reasonable. All dishes in the menu are under $20 and you will not regret having to order more coz’ they are so tasty!

Today, we made reservation as we had to take the counter seat as we did not have a reservation. We were given a table this time and little Faith was able to sit happily beside us. We ordered our favourite Parma ham with bufala cheese, squid ink pasta, ravioli and aglio olio pasta with mushroom for Faith. She enjoyed her pasta pretty much which was a relieved to us as we were worried that she might not want to eat at all.

We will be back again soon…

An Enjoyable Saturday

Little Faith will get excited about visiting her grandparents every Saturday as she will be get to play with her cousin Shevaun whom she meets once a week.


Like every Saturdays, we brought her to grandparents’ place and Shevaun was already playing on her own when we arrived. Shevaun too got excited when she saw Faith. They gave each other a hug and started to play their toys together.
Since the girls were playing happily on their own and while helping out my in-law to set up the dinner table, the simple dishes she cooked looked really good and decided to take some pictures to share with you guys.
When we got home after dinner, she was still very active and awake! I played blocks building with her for a while before I chased her to bed. Then she suddenly told me… “mama, Tabi want to take photo…” I knew she wouldn’t go to bed if her request is not granted. She went on and on taking pictures with all her ‘friends’ and finally got tired…
It was indeed a well-spent Saturday with her and I wished every weekend is longer…

Fish Curry Luncheon

I am happy that my darling (Angela) suggested having fish curry for lunch but not the reason why I was excited about… it was her companionship I was happy of. It has been a while we lunched together as she preferred to lunch alone.


As usual, Leng & Jessie went to get a seat at the ‘forever crowded Suntec foodcourt’ and ordered some other dishes other than the fish curry. We had Leng’s ‘MUST HAVE’ sweet & sour pork and vegetables.
It did not take long for our fish curry to be served as darling ordered in advance. We were shocked to see how huge the claypot fish curry turned out to be. We enjoyed the fish curry and our side dishes and found out that there were six pieces of fish in that claypot compared to the previous time. I was thankful that they were fish fan so… we managed to clear the dishes on our table. Steady man!

I believed we will have another round of fish curry luncheon before the foodcourt closes end of this year…
