She is the third cat I fostered and still I couldn’t hold back the waterworks when it was time to say goodbye. I wonder when it will ever get easy to to see them go.

Simple joys

2 most lovely things happened when we got back from Switzerland. When I went to get our mail from our neighbours, they passed me a whole stack of books! The secondhand kind with the money-can’t-buy old book smell. Hours of reading joy await! The second thing is HK has finally cooled down! It perpetually feels [...]
It’s been 2 months…

since I arrived and I have: found an apartment, furnished an apartment, zipped back to Singapore, hosted 2 friends, fostered 2 cats (pics below!), started volunteer work. There is much pain that comes with relocation but it’s really quite fun rebuilding your life with new experiences and people.
And before I know it, it’s back to [...]

I was asked the other day how long I am married for. I told her “3 years” and she looked really surprised. I thought it was because I looked young to her (always a good thing). But she said it’s because when I talked about my husband, I had a twinkle in my eyes reserved [...]
Tea for Two

It was such a lovely way to while away a wet afternoon. I know coffee is more popular in NY but I am always mad about tea. Since the city empties out during the July 4th weekend, it seems like the perfect time to try the otherwise highly sought-after Lady Mendl’s. Lady Mendl’s is really [...]

Yups, Ken and I are in Alaska! I got it into my head that I wanted to see glaciers and Alaskan huskies and that was how we ended up here. Ken had grander ideas of wildlife and mountains. Alaska is so painfully beautiful that we know that our photographs will hardly capture it all. Even [...]

I realised that drinking cheap wine in cheap plastic cups is still a decadent experience once it is done on a beautiful spring weekday afternoon under a cherry blossom tree in Central Park. The 3 of us, jobless and childless wives, didn’t even mind the cherry blossom petals falling all over our strawberries, cheese dips, [...]

I know this is a rather tall statement, but somehow, I know my life will be a little better if I have this:

I know I am not young anymore when I actually took this long to get over the trips back to Singapore and then DC. Granted that I am in no hurry to recover. I realise that I stop rushing through life anymore since, unlike before, my life does not just begin on weekends or public [...]
Speed up Spring

A huge plus of not working is never having to deal with Monday blues. Mondays, now, are really quite wonderful. I start off every Monday morning, bright and early, with the kitties at the cat shelter. Every week, the other volunteers and I, as we clean/feed/play with the cats, talk about how wonderful some of [...]
