My short note:

I've been missing from the 'blogosphere action' lately, thus have not been able to visit your blogs regularly. I miss catching up on all of your latest mouth-watering posts but I have a good reason!! Yes, I do!! My hub and I will be moving into our new nest in around 2-3 weeks' time and it is out of Singapore!! Sob!!!! Yup, we will be leaving this vibrant city after living here for a decade and will be relocating back to the cultural melting-pot city of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I'm already missing Singapore and all my friends here! I have only 3 days left here :(, which I plan to utilize by hitting the shopping streets of Singapore from shop to shop and from dawn to dusk!! I guess for now I have to take comfort by knowing that by road, Singapore is a mere 4-5 hours away from Kuala Lumpur and 3 hours away from Melaka (my hometown), so I'm really, really thankful for that! I guess Singapore will always, always, always be our awesome 2nd home!

Anyway, in the past few weeks, I've been occupied with clearing, throwing, packing, moving, traveling between Singapore and KL, renovating, fixing, furniture and household hunting, spending and more spending!! Despite leaving Singapore with a heavy heart, I do look forward to more baking and cooking fun in my new kitchen which I have been taking my own sweet time in planning it for almost a year!! Finally, it will come to fruition soon.

So till I post again closer to Christmas from my new kitchen, have fun preparing for the yuletide season and all the best, everyone!


Last but not least, I'd like to thank one of my very wonderful and talented blog friends, Anncoo, for sharing this Appreciation Awards with me and the rest of her blog friends too.





Cheers!
