It was ‘aww-inducing’ to watch 3-month old Joey gurgling and cooing happily to Zibin’s voice…until one comes close enough to hear what it was that Uncle Zibin was saying to the chubby little bundle of joy. “Have you got a pot-belly? Ooh…have you got a pot-belly? Have you got a pot-belly?”

159 Reunion
It was Sin Teck’s son, Althan’s 1st birthday yesterday. (Sin Teck was one of Zibin’s 6 housemates at 159 Beverley St. back in their Toronto glory-days) And so, it turned out to be a kind of reunion for those guys…albeit with babies and kids screaming in the background, balloons popping etc. It was fun to […]
My Heart's In Two Places…Again
I feel it again. The Toronto-tug. The last time I was aware of this feeling was May 29 (when I made my “T.O. Gal” blog post). This time though, I’m feeling it while in Singapore. Kind of unsettling…maybe because I don’t know what to make of it. Since the day I arrived, people have been […]

Good Enough To Eat
Was at the renovated Cold Storage Jelita briefly with my mom today. Beautiful new lay-out, bright, spacious…and the capsicums looked so colourful I couldn’t resist taking a photo. :)
Halim Family Reunion
Today was the 28th anniversary of my maternal grandpa’s passing. Every year, my mom’s family flies in to Singapore from various corners of the world (Indonesia, Malaysia, U.S., Canada, Hong Kong) at this time to visit my grandpa’s grave and to have a reunion. I have fond memories of these gatherings, especially since I had […]

The Apprentice (Baker)
One of the first thing John told me after he picked me up at the airport on Sunday was that our maid, Sol, has been baking bread. Well, buns to be precise…ham and cheese, ground beef, banana and cheese etc. She had baked a fresh batch for me to try, and they were delicious. So, […]
