Dinner with fellow Singaporeans

Yesterday, we invited three of our fellow Singaporeans to our house for dinner. It has been quite some time since we have friends from Singapore in our house. The last time we had them was in last Spring when mommy's good friends, Oranna and Yinshan visited us. Time flies. One year has passed in a twinkling of an eye.
Anyway, these fellow Singaporeans are from the Singapore branch office of daddy's company. Well, it's always nice to chat with our fellow countrymen to keep us updated about the latest developments in Singapore. For one, the population density seems to have increased somewhat as they were complaining about the number of people that they see on the streets nowadays. From our conversations with them, mommy gathered that they seem to love the suburban type of lifestyle here, but of course, they still miss the food in Singapore. On our part, we tried to make them feel at home by preparing food that they can relate to. For one, we treated them to sambal chili sauce, which according to daddy, is like 'liquid gold' since it is difficult to find them here.

We tried taking a picture before we started eating. Poor Sheri! She was in all tears. It seems that our little girl is still suffering from stranger's anxiety. She was so attached to mommy that mommy could not leave her in daddy's arms for a second just to set up the camera.


I guess our little girl just needs some time to warm up. She was perfectly fine after awhile and she gamely took a picture with Auntie Jocelyn and her husband after the dinner.
