Playdates, job discussions, and a night out!

Life in Singapore feels rather similar to having my maternity leave with Matilde - lots of playdates, coffee lattee and obviously - kids :-) I have also managed to have job discussions with a few companies, as realizing I cannot stay home full-time, as probably will drive myself insane... or maybe after the summer holiday, I love it so much and simply become a full-on expat wife!! (guess that Porsche dream of Morten will remain a dream then.... ;-)

When first moving in here in Singapore, we hadn't seen the apartment, but trusted our agent as she is also a friend of ours. Unfortunately, we forgot mentioning we would like to have a regular owen; not a gas oven as in Bel-Air, not a conventional oven like in the Happy Valley flat, simply a regular oven - well, we are now stuck with the latter.... Did try to make cup cakes though and they turned out ok, at least from the look of such. Tastewise...not so good....! (but since the cabinets are emptied out on candy, the crunchy and rather tastless cup cakes become a saviour for a sugar desperate mummy....hm....)

 

Hannah has been to a playdate with 4 kids from her future class. It was fun to meet the kids and the moms, and the kids had a good time. The high was when the organizing mom brought out snacks... maybe not from the mummies viewpoint re the outlook of getting the kids to eat dinner in less than an hour went down the drain...

Matilde & I went to the Danish Church playgroup and Matilde loved it, as always when other kids are around! It was +10 kids with mummies/nannies and we sang Danish songs and had snack time. I have signed up for bringing snacks in a few weeks, but after realizing the owen is not what I thought it would be, is not having too high of hopes for the snack outcome...

 




We have been recommended to visit Demsey Hill from several friends so here we go - it was a cozy area with art galleries and furniture shops mixed with restaurangs and a big playground. We went for dinnerat 'Prime Society' with Morten's collegue Soren and family, a friend of Anna-Maria, and a DK collegue, Martin. The food was delicious but I had to ask them to re-heat my beef half-way trough the dinner, as been running with the kids... oh well :-)

Parrots!!

The Danish Consulate of Singapore invited us for a viewing of 'Haevnen' or 'A Better World' in English. I already saw it with the Hong Kong Danish Consulate but it was so good I didn't mind watching it again!
