Pepper!

This post is dedicated to hubby and my dearest little Pepper. For friends and family who have yet to have a glimpse of him. ;)

He was this small, only 2 months old, (that was 4 months ago) when we first got him from a small suburb called Bulleen, south-east of Melbourne, approximately a 45-minutes drive.

This was how he looked like, after a few weeks, having been settled into Southbank, at about 3 months old.

Super cute, eh?

Shall upload recent pictures of him at 6 months old now when I do have the photos in the camera. ;)

No more Saint Cinnamon

I'm utterly devastated. The Saint Cinnamon outlet in Melbourne Central closed down! No more cinnamon rolls for tea. And I've loved those rolls ever since I was a kid. They used to have them in SG, in Wisma and Causeway Point. But they all closed down. Can't fault it. It's not something Asians can appreciate. But I was definitely heartbroken when it disappeared from sight in SG.

And now it's disappearing from Melbourne as well!

Look at them. Aren't they absolutely tempting? I miss them already.

Weather is such a biaatch! Or not.

Honestly, I can't decide if I want to bitch that. That, being Melbourne's weather. While it does give inconvenience when you're outside (you can be clothed in a thick jacket and realised it's an overkill when you walk the streets or you can be freezing your butt off when you realised the sunny sun doesn't do any credit against the chilly Antarctic wind), it's a great welcome from the hot and humid weather I can't stand in SG.

Although to be fair, as much as I abhor the fiery sun with temperatures of over 30 degrees all year round and the super duper high levels of humidity back in SG, it gives me a sense of consistency. Of which I can certainly say there is none here in Melbourne at all. Wikipedia has a phrase to summarise Melbourne's climate - "four seasons in one day". How apt.

And to Janfy: Winter is gone and Spring has come. But wear thick still.

First Posting

My dear friends should be aware that I've moved to Melbourne now. And have already been here for a couple of months. I've decided to start with a brand new blog, instead of reusing the old one I had ages ago and cannot even remember the url anymore. Gold fish memory, I know...

MM LKY envisioned Singapore to be a garden city back in the days when he was still PM. It was his brainchild. On the other hand, Melbourne has often been referred to as Australia's garden city. In fact, the state of Victoria which Melbourne is in was once known as the Garden State. Somehow, it just feels so appropriate to name this blog Garden Cities. I am living into two garden cities, after all.

With all the time in the world now, excluding the time taken up for house work and of course, my dear little PugZu - Pepper, oh, and if I do not get obsessed with my NDS Lite, I certainly will update regularly. :D
