Some updates

Some recent happenings:

I am on twitter, having been inspired by the grand dame Elizabeth Taylor herself. So far, I am following David Garrett (part his agent perhaps) anyway, its nice to know the latest happenings like the new cd Classical Romance which boasts of many of my favourite composers : Rachmaninoff, Mendelssohn, D'vorak etc.

I had lunch with "Uncle Eugene" with rachel of course. Eugene was my vocal leader in the FCBC worship team for many years. He's now a worship leader at his church and works in Trumpet Praise Parkway branch. Still the same old uncle except getting near sighted. After the quick lunch, I pondered the possibility of a ex FC worship team gathering in my place. Who should I invite?? How many will turn up??? Should it be a thanksgiving thingy or Christmas event?????? Thankfully Yan loves gatherings as well, so we'll decide later. Boy, I can party all day type. I can play violin and read all day too......as long as there is good coffee to accompany me. Coffee relaxes me even more. I love to start the day with a nice cuppa. Though I rarely need the afternoon fix unless I am shopping of course, just to relax further and make that day extra special.

Just cooked stir fry beef with onions and leek and sambal kang kong with ingredients costing only $3.58. Shockingly cheap from Giant supermarket, my kid's choice today but the queuing almost killed me.....more than 10mins and my lower back ached a bit since I had forgotten to wear the posture correcting Fitflops. Conclusion, I must live near Cold storage, where the fresh ingredients and speedy service sans the DIY weighing beckons me daily. How much will my family save????? we take the bus and cab to parkway almost daily. Its about 5 bus-stops away. Siglap centre is nearer but its so small and old a mall. Then marine terrace its worst!!!! I am just not the wet market and mama convenience shop type. The last time I tried to buy something from the wet market, it was a headache since I do not bargain and I missed the convenience of price tags and use by dates.

Yan thinks we should move to Holland area. It has everything, banks, eateries and shopping and all the beautiful landed and non landed apartments. In 3 years time, new creation church will relocate to One North, buena vista area, in the west and going to church and town will be so much easier. I, on the other hand, prays that by then, our family is ready for overseas living. I am so wanting to live in Europe, particularly London and Paris where everything from the weather, the food, the entertainment, the scenery, the people, the languages, the history, the culture, the museums is drawing my heart.
