Time spent with Caleb

This week, since it was still school holidays, I tried to spend as much time with Caleb. Brought him to the park early in the mornings after my breakfast to play.





Managed to catch the NBA Finals live on my computer..so exciting especially since Lakers won closing in the gap against Boston 3-2 (from 3-1). But as what most predicted, on Wednesday, Boston finally won beating Lakers 4-2 especially since it was played in Boston.

Anyway, Boston really deserves to win as they played much better!



As usual, Caleb will be keeping himself busy in the house.


It seems for now that he loves to read books...especially those that he can touch and feel..



On Tues night, my family and I, together with our relatives had dinner with one very close neighbour whom used to play with my dad and his siblings from young. He has migrated to Sydney and is in Singapore for some conference. He and his brothers are all doctors. When I went Australia with my family in 2003, we visited his whole big family.

This picture was taken then.



Now this little boy whom was on my lap, has grown really big...as his father showed me his recent picture in his camera. How time flies. He is now 10 years old..



Anyway, we had dinner together on Tues night at Joo Chiat Road.



The food was delicious! (except for the disappointing roast chicken)

We ordered a pear, white fungus, almond soup for starters..



The claypot fish with beancurd skin, mushrooms etc was awesome!





Pork ribs was succulent and tasty..



As for dessert, it was individual portion. I ordered for myself almond paste, while CT had mango sago with pomelo.





After that, the head chef brought out for us a complimentary agar agar dessert. I found out that it was osmanthus flower(gui hua) with wolfberries which made it so fragrant! After some researching, you can actually get the dried flowers from medical halls and even the osmanthus sugar from Chinatown.





Caleb had his share of rice, while sitting with us.



Had an enjoyable dinner. Will def hope to come back to Joo Chiat again for its numerous eating places!

Too bad this restaurant will be closing down soon this month as they chef going back to China. Anyway, Singapore will def not run out of good places to eat!
