A little comfort for this crazy weather

The weather has been unusually hot the past few days.. making me sweaty and sticky even early in the morning..
Sigh. This is seriously unbearable. What is going on?
Would want to keep the air-con turned on the entire day! But no, I do not want my electric bills to explode, so not worth spending such money!

Feeling a little moody today.. thinking abt the past & some issues that's in my heart stir up certain emotions.. there's too much to write abt this, mayb I'll share it nxt time...

Oh wells, just looking forward to seeing the husband soon as he comes back from work and bring back dinner. :)
& later, a nice drink or even dessert at Coffee Club when I meet up wif my dearest cuz!

For now, just gonna share some photos of the recent comfort food I've been eating... :)

I'm not a big fan of Yan Yan, but particularly like this milk flavoured one.

The sweet vanilla cream tastes like white chocolate dip! Especially if you chill it a little in the fridge - tastes like biscuits with white chocolate ice cream! Heavenly! :)



Nutella Nutella Nutella. Isn't it everyone's favourite spread?

It is no doubt my childhood fave.

Nutella on soft fluffy bread - Such simple comfort.

I nearly devoured the entire loaf of bread with it.

Worried sick

Feeling unusually moody and gloomy today...
I can't really pinpoint why except that my daughter had a projectile puking episode last night after her feed.
It was the first time I see her throw up such a large volume of milk.
It was really scary.
I think she threw up almost her entire feed & I'm seriously worried sick.

Is it because I patted too hard while trying to 'burp' her? Or did she overdrink and was too full?
I really do not know the reason, but she seemed all well and normal after the puking and was her usual self, active & happy.
I know the only thing now is to wait and observe, but I just couldn't help but feel worried.
She is my sweetheart, my darling precious little one...
The image of how she vomited is just constantly stuck at the back of my mind, and thinking abt it sends shivers down my spine.. Help!!

I prayed and can only pray.
I really hope it will not happen again.

Unending Love, Amazing Grace

Felt particularly touched by the lyrics of a worship song that we sang at church today...

The song, "Amazing Grace - My Chains are Gone" by Chris Tomlin, has a particular verse that says "And like a flood, His mercy reigns, UNENDING LOVE, AMAZING GRACE"...

The words Unending Love, Amazing grace, just shouts into my face, & really touched my heart.
Not only is God's love great and perfect, it is UNENDING.

A simple word, yet speaks so much.
A love that will never end, a love that will never change.
Such is the love of God.
Amen.

Joy, Unspeakable Joy

It has been such a long long while since I last blogged..
Looking at my previous posts brought back so much memories :)

Indeed, in the last 1 yr or so, many things have changed and we have all, in one way or other, grown (I hope! ;p)
I guessed the most important and significant change that has occurred in my life, would be that of being pregnant, and then becoming a mother! :)
By the grace of God, our beautiful darling little girl entered our lives in April tis yr, and is now a good 3month old! :)
Watching her grow day by day, just adds so much joy to my life, and I pray that she will always be a constant reminder to me of God's love and grace for me.

As I'm still on maternity leave, and will continue to be on extended leave until my husband finishes his exams (end of this year), I have decided that maybe it's time to come back to blogging! (Esp now that I have so much time at home to do this, Ha).
Not that the life of a full time stay home mummy is that interesting, but I hope my life and the reality of what I share here will be an inspiration and an encouragement for you! :)

And as I think about reviving this blog, I would also like to make this blog a time of thanksgiving for myself to the Lord who has loved and remained faithful to me all this while, blessing me beyond what I could ever ask for.
I pray that I will always remain thankful, always remembering His goodness and grace, never forgetting how far He has brought me.
May this blog always be a reminder to me of who God is, & what He has done for me.

As I write this post, the chorus of Chris Tomlin's Unspeakable Joy' lyrics came to my mind..
So, I shall end off with them:

Joy, Unspeakable Joy
An overflowing well
No tongue can tell
Joy, Unspeakable Joy
Rises in my soul, never lets me go


Indeed, only in Him, there is fullness of Joy.
Amen.

A Beautiful Morning..

Double stack Coconut pancakes from Jones the Grocer

Had a nice breakfast at Jones the Grocer @ Dempsey this morning with a dear friend.. a friend of abt 15 yrs and more to come!

A lovely time of catching up and connecting…  Even though we haven’t met for a while, the feeling of closeness and togetherness remains.. :)

I had a huge fruit scone and vanilla cupcake with raspberry frosting (which I couldn’t finish and had to pack away), while she ordered a double stack coconut pancakes topped with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream and freshly chopped mangoes.

The fruit scone was more like a raisin (only) scone, not exceptionally fantastic, and I thought they could afford to be more generous in their helping of raisins..

The coconut pancakes on the other hand, were fragrant and delectable! I could taste the dessicated coconut in the pancakes, which gives it a slightly crunchy consistency..

Goes really well with the maple syrup, vanilla ice cream and fresh mangoes.. Yumm… :)

(I think I ate more of the pancakes than my friend who was the one who ordered them! Haha.. )

I thought there’s something special about the pancakes served at Jones, they are not the usual fluffy kind, but more cake-like, and much more filling..

If you are those who like the fluffy kind of pancakes, Jones pancakes may not be your cup of tea..

I actually quite like them, thought they go really well with the maple syrup, felt as if im eating a healthy version of a honey flavoured pound cake!  But it’s prob also cos I was in a ‘cakey’ mood today and was craving for something sweet.  :)

Oh well, all in all, what a beautiful morning… :)

What a Lovely Day!

This image is not a representation of the crepe i ate, solely for decorative purpose!

Had a beautiful belated Valentine’s Day celebration yesterday with the husband. Strictly speaking, it was the 15^th day of CNY (Yuan Xiao Jie), which traditionally is the Chinese version of Valentine’s Day. Haha. So, just as well.. :D

Went for a great lunch at the Marche at Somerset 313, it sure was a ‘Crepey’ day for me! :p

Had a smoked salmon savoury Crepe with sautéed mushrooms for my main, while the husband got a Rosti with sausage, and a side of stir-fry vegetables.

But the ‘Star’ of the day was none other than my Mango-Caramel sweet Crepe with double scoop Movenpick ice cream!!!

Oh man, nothing compares to this, it was awesomely delicious!!!!! SUPERB!!!!

My  Panna Cotta and Maple Walnut flavoured ice cream was creamy and smooth, went perfectly well with the fresh mangoes and Crepe drizzled with warm sweet caramel.

Oh man…  Seriously, it was HEAVENLY!!!!!!!

One of the nicest and yummiest dessert I’ve had this year!!!

The Panna Cotta ice cream tasted sooooo good, it was perfect!!!

The Maple walnut was really good too, though I thought it was a tad too sweet for me, but the aroma of the maple syrup and the crunchy walnuts made up for all that! :)

Altogether, it was a fantastic lunch, ending off with a movie date at the Orchard Cineplex.

What a memorable Valentine’s celebration indeed! *cheers!!* :)

My Love - Egg Tarts!

Had this sudden craving for egg tarts! Hee.. my favourite being Bengawan Solo's egg tarts, love their shortcrust pastry, soft and cake-like! *drools* :p
Portuguese egg tarts are quite nice too, but not my favourite..

Sorry i've been too lazy to update my blog the past wk.. spending quite alot of time tending to 'things' at home.. leaking toilet bowl, leaking air-con... Grrrr...
Oh well, looking at these tarts cheered me up!!
Gonna get some soon!
:)
