RE: How many of your gifts / decorations were made in China?

At Raffles Hotel, all of our crockeries were Royal Doulton

But MiMi used to collect Wedgewood, only them mugs coz that was the only thing I could afford!

RE: How many of your gifts / decorations were made in China?

Biff!! You really want them hand-painted chamberpots?? It’s a collectors’ item here, them vintage enamel ones.

I’ve been looking at some of them but don’t wanna start collecting them coz I’ve already started to collect vintage hand-painted enamel trays of all sizes! And MiMi is so very broke now...

RE: How many of your gifts / decorations were made in China?

People in China, both Chinese and expats don’t really wanna talk bad about China, Biff.

You don’t wanna mess around with the Chinese government

You can criticise and talk bad about other people’s government, just not the Chinese government, especially while you’re in China!

Anyway, my maternal great-grandparents came to Malaya in the early 30’s to flee from the persecution for being Christians.

RE: Uninvited Holiday Guests

That’s Amin in yellow and at this moment he’s my handyman.

When I get to the US, Art will be my ‘handyman’ Arty is good with his hands

RE: Uninvited Holiday Guests

Don’t be so choosy, Catfoot, wanting only female lodgers

Biff, Aquaman was alright but my son didn’t really enjoy it.

I miss those superheroes movies where there were less CGI in them. Remember Superman with Christopher Reeve and Margot Kidder?

Anyway, I like these 2 songs in Aquaman though.

Molly, I’m in love with an Irish myself

But he’s not a thoroughbred or purebred. More of a half-breed mutt!

Art is so gonna kill me now

RE: Uninvited Holiday Guests

My Arty and my Bangladeshi handyman. He fixes everything in the house besides feeding the cat when I’m away. He has the key to my house and yes, I trust him that much.

RE: Uninvited Holiday Guests

Catfioooooot!

When I go for a long period of holiday, I’d get my Bangladeshi handyman to feed my cat.

If it’s just for a couple of days, I’d get the student tenants above my house to feed the cat.

Ooohhhh what a lovely friend she is!


Was telling Art just yesterday that on his next Asia trip, he gotta visit Singapore so that I could show him around my previous working place...The Raffles Hotel

They have a suite named after Rudyard Kipling. Oh! Abd there’s a Somerset Maugham Suite too!

We would need to head over to Long Bar after that and have its famous ‘Singapore Sling’.

RE: Happy Kwanzaa

The Chinese celebrate what?!?!?



Merry Christmas anyway!

RE: LIFE HAS CHANGED

Merry Christmas, Wen

RE: It's A Festivus - For The Rest Of Us! || From '14

Will do just that, Mic

RE: It's A Festivus - For The Rest Of Us! || From '14

I remember this blog!!

And I miss Wallops1964 on the blogs

Well, at least I still communicate with her, off CS, periodically. She’s one of the nicest and genuine lady I ever have the fortune to get to know from the blogs.

RE: The Very Clean Teapot

Yup, the colour has probably been faked.

Fake just like MiMi

MiMi’s getting ready to go out and have breakfast with my girlfriends. It’s nice to be back in my hometown...nice to be pampered by my girlfriends...

Good night, Molly

RE: The Very Clean Teapot

Let me know of the result

RE: The Very Clean Teapot

On a more serious note, Molly....

If you ever EVER, come across a Family Mart ( Japanese convenient store franchise chain ) anywhere in the world, please please please give the Matcha ice-cream a try?


Personal record- 3 of these at one go!

RE: The Very Clean Teapot

Why of course not!!

RE: The Very Clean Teapot

Molly

I’ve been drinking pu-er my whole life and the pounds haven’t really gone anywhere

Oolong sounds like ‘blur’ or ‘unfocused’ in Cantonese

RE: New camera up-grade needed...........

Hans

Can’t wait to see your pics on here.....

Of course, only after you got all your settings right

RE: The Very Clean Teapot

These are our favourite teas. We’d also normally order them when we dined in a Chinese restaurant. We’d choose only one type of tea, according to our ‘taste’ or ‘mood’ on that day



This my personal favourite version of a light tea


My late grandpa’s favourite. He had always preferred dark tea.


My son’s favourite


Another personal favourite of mine.




The whole family all-time fav!






Molly, as you can see, there’s no green tea in the list

But MiMi loves loves loves Japanese matcha ( green tea ) ice-cream!!
