Twirling At Tea


Glad that schedules managed to be swopped and I found an hour for tea with Y at the start of Lil'Missy's school holidays. It signified the end of her kindergarten years. The next time I see the little girl, she would be in Primary One. They grow up so quickly. It wasn't terribly crowded at Intercontinental Hotel's lobby lounge on a weekday afternoon. Had a nice big sofa and a corner to ourselves where we could kinda play peek-a-boo and talk a little too loudly without annoying anyone else. Heh.

Y and I have learnt to converse in short spurts about topics not involving Lil'Missy. The little girl must be included in conversations. While Y and I discussed about shipping prices via DHL, UPS and FedEx, we also paid attention to the little girl who was telling us about her books, pens and cards.

The little girl pulled me up the stairs to twirl. Okay little ballerina, you're moving on to Grade One soon. Time to work on extending those fingers, curving the elbows and turning out the feet. We must go dancing before Aunty Imp gets too old for pirouettes and arabesque jumps.

Lil'Missy wore 'Marmalade Morning Cheongsam'
from her parents' indie label, Missy Messy.

D: oh no no, not late. I just turn it off rather quickly to prevent spam. comment away anywhere!

hahah, yes, i keep forgetting Wah Lok as a makan venue. quite like it when friends gather or for steamboat. go go! check prices for Oz lobster hor- they tend to kertok you at about S$400 for 1.2kg. The local lobsters are good too. good enough for sashimi even.

Y: WAH. Can. Hehehehe. In THAT design, but DIFFERENT colors. :P

S$400 for 1.2kg?!?! thanks for the tip! will definitely have to remember to check prices first!

D: yea, almost died the last time we didn't check and they gave us a S$350 bill for a >1kg Oz lobster. So we've wised up and ordered local lobsters. Especially not when fresh Boston lobsters at 600grams can be found at restaurants for S$49.
