Pearl made prawn noodles. Oh so so so good. My contributions would be picking the prawns, plucking the bean sprouts. Lol. Glad our friends loved it. What a success.

To open or not to open is the Coffeeshop owners dilemma.

A) Open for customer: convenience for customer, customer hands kept clean, always perfect, however eggs get cold before toasts are ready, wastage of eggs within shells. However no decentralized plates of empty shells everywhere.

B) Give eggs in hot mug: customers have to time it and might get under/over cooked soft boiled eggs, customers have to dirty hands and in turn dirty dark soy sauce and pepper containers. Lots of decentralized eggs shells and mugs of hot water everywhere and there are mugs to wash too (or do they just rinse it). Only upside is customer can have hot runny eggs when toast arrives.

C) Pour hot water over ready eggs: just less hot water mug, but all pros and cons quite similar to B.

So if you are a coffee shop owner, what would you do? What is the most perfect way? I’m also thinking aircon Coffeeshop eggs get cold faster, outdoor Coffeeshop have annoying birds… so much to think about this Friday morning.

1 Jan and we hosting a few friends for wine and dinner. Initially wanted to order in as we currently don’t have a helper and thought order in and split cost might be simpler.

But Pear being Pearl thought 1st Jan Saturday order and rainy days means lots of room for error, so she felt cooking was easier.

2 Champagnes, Giant Prawns Pasta, Steaks, Cheese and Fruit platter and 7 bottles of Chateau Magdelaine of vintages 90, 94, 99, 00, 02, 03, 04. What a way to start 2022. Ok now we will try to feast less and exercise more and drink less. Lol.

Really nice Sentosa day with the family. Italian lunch, some sun on Tanjong Beach, LOTS of rain, nice traditional Chinese dinner, got Cleo glasses, shopped for some groceries and came home to see Encanto on Disney+ (super nice).

A nice family Christmas dinner at my parent’s place while they are away in Canada for holiday. Together with my brothers and their wives, I think we did alright. Merry Christmas to one and all.

Though the seas will dry up one day and even stone

Though the seas will dry up one day
and even stones will decay
Yet your love and kindness will never change
I know I am treasured by you

These were beautiful lyrics to a song I heard at church on Christmas. This year’s Christmas at our church @cnlsg Centre of New Life is really different. We produced a short film on the life of our dear friend Mel who battled Lupus her whole life. After 2 hip replacements and multiple challenges in her daily life. The story of her life is a story of hope which I’m sure many of us need now. The hope we all have in God. The hope that good will prevail over evil. The hope that life will prevail over death.

A powerful account especially when facing despair and helplessness. In these times, our hope in God can do wonders as he have our best interests at heart.

There is a replay on Sunday morning 26 Dec. Just search for “cnlsg” on YouTube and you should be able to see the live stream starting at 11am.

We participated in our church’s walkathon yesterday In many small groups. All in all we we the church would have covered several legs of the walk our small family covered the first leg from Middle Rd to Havelock Road. Other teams did Havelock Road to Orchard Road, then to Beauty World, Then to Upper Bukit Timah, then to the old NTUC Lifestyle Centre then to Jurong west. These are all places that our church used to worship at. As we approach Christmas and we want to remember that our lives are a walk with God. The walk is not just 32km, but our whole lives. An early Merry Christmas to one and all.
