Local Scenes
I just uploaded a whole lot of photos we’ve been taking over the past two weeks. James sent his com in for servicing so I haven’t been able to upload photos/blog properly.
Here are some of the scenes from our daily life in Singapore that we miss much:-
The good ole kueh (cake) shop that serves local breakfast/tea and snacks.
Fresh seafood in the air-conditioned supermarket
Papa asking Sophie if she wants to eat frogs for lunch. Frog legs is a delicacy for Cantonese. It is used in stir fries or in congee.
We attended Dr and Mrs Maak’s (4th Principal of Singapore Bible College) 80th birthday dinner and they served the traditional birthday buns. Haven’t seen those in ages. It’s plain buns with sweet filling. This peach bun is served when older people celebrate their birthdays and it symbolises longevity.
Family reunions at the Hawker Centre with pink plastic table covers. Ooo the salty egg crabs were so good at this Ghim Moh stall.
Swimming at anytime of the day. Sophie insisted on swimming so Nyet found Em (Em’s 11)’s old clothes for Sophie to wear and in she went!
View from The Pinnacle@The Duxton, one of the newest local subsidized housing developments. It is 50 storeys tall, right next to Chinatown/CBD area. We were only at 25 storeys taking this picture.
