Mama and apple came visiting

Where have we been? Busy? Well, we had Emily's grandmother and grandaunt visiting us from Singapore. And the little girl simply adores the 2 of them. I guess she's really missing out on family love. Just this thought alone, makes us feel like moving back to Singapore, so that she can be with family.

Here's Emily calling mama for grandma and yi po for grandmother, although we all think it sounds like Apple.

New dishwashing liquid

We hand wash our dishes at our house and one of the rules my husband sets on me, is that no cheap dishwashing liquid that doesn't remove pasta stains or oil stains. Well, there was that 1 time, i bought a cheap house brand dishwashing liquid and after several washes, the stains still remain. Hence the rule of dishwashing liquid was set.

Anyway, I received this bottle of Palmolive Fresh Sponge dishwashing liquid as a trial. And i was delighted. It smells good, and really removes stains well. On top of that, it removes any odors from your scrub sponge. woohoo. love it.

It's finally warm enough

You know it's finally warm when we can sit outside and have fun with bubbles with the little one.

My 5th year in USA

Time flies and Free cone day at Ben & Jerry marks my 5th year anniversary in the USA. It's our 6th time participating in this event, and it's the first time it rained.

I kind of make it a point to go for this event every year, not because it's free ice cream. More importantly to me, it's an anniversary to me, of me being in USA. And to think time flew by so fast, and i'm coming onto my 6th year here.


Derrick and Emily enjoying the icecream in the cold rain.


Yup, the rain finally looks like it's going to stop.

This was us in 2007

Emily loving Macdonald's hashbrown

It's rare that we have breakfast at Macdonald's and for some reason, Emily decided she doesn't want pancakes or muffin. Luckily she found that she liked hashbrown now, and that she could talk her way to get daddy to feed her instead of feeding herself with the hashbrown.

Mother and daughter

This is a typical weekend. Me trying to catch some time on the laptop while the little one sneak up to you, determined to steal the laptop away from you and have all your full attention.

Isn't it odd to snow in March?
