Dinner at Orchard Hotel

Today, Caleb set a record in regurgitating out the most of all his throwing up episodes. He started throwing up on the carpet in the living room and then Vicky quickly carried him to the floor where he threw up so much.

Here is the aftermath..



I heard that after 3 months, they should stop regurgitating. So, I am really looking forward to his less messy affair..or rather, OUR less messy affair since most of the times, he throws up all over us. The good thing is that after regurgitating, he doesnt cry and is less cranky.

These few days since he has learnt how to coo more and more..he has also stayed awake more and more, as if having a lot of things to catch up with us by trying to talk. Sometimes, after he wakes up from his sleep, he just opens his eyes and start "talking"...In the past, he used to wake up from his sleep and cry immediately. Now, different already.



Tonight, went out together with my family for my dad's birthday celebration at Hua Ting. The last celebration at my dad's house was not really a complete one because my mum wasnt with us. She had to go church to facilitate in a bible study group. So tonight, together with my parents, my brother's family and CT and I, went to Orchard Hotel.

It brought us memories of the time we had my wedding there. My brother and Pam also had their wedding dinner in Orchard Hotel few months after mine in 2004. I chose Orchard Hotel because of Hua Ting, which serves good food. I dunno is it because of my expectation but last night's food was very disappointing. I enjoyed the company but not the food. We ordered a double boiled soup a bowl each person, veggies with prawn, US prime beef for each person which was very disappointing because they used a sauce which was over-powering. I love my beef simple-seasoned with only salt. We also had steam cod fish per person which was overcooked and noodles. The noodles was tung hoon with beehoon cooked with black beans, bittergourd and scallops. Very tasty but CT says it tasted quite normal.

I remember when I had my wedding dinner. I made sure my food for the guests was special.I am probably quite particular in food and in serving my guests. So, instead of the usual sharkfins soup which I am against because I love to dive and I wish to treasure this endangered species, I specially ordered ginseng double boiled soup and requested each guest to have one cod fish during my wedding dinner. I also told the chef that night not to overcook it as I hate overcook fish. I was glad the guests gave good reviews that night about the food. I just love feeding people with good food. :)

Anyway, I had fun tonight as Janine amused all of us by her speech. She is just so adorable. Here is my brother, Pamela, Janine and my dad!



After dinner, my mum sent my bro and family back to ACS Barker Rd which is where they stay now. I really feel God's provision for them by giving them this place in ACS where they have free food and lodging, as well as having to enjoy the facilities like tennis court, play ground, swimming pool, table tennis etc etc. God is good.
