Meeting People (edited)

Yesterday, I brought the girls to Paragon to eat Fish and Chips at Fish & Co. Lavigne eats most local food but not Louisa. She always tells me, 'I want to eat angmo food'. We were early so they played upstairs at the play area. That was when we bumped into Jet Li, his wife(?) and his daughters playing there too. I think when one tries hard to hide his identity, the more he will be recognised. How many people will be shopping at malls wearing shades and caps? Both he and his wife were wearing them.

Then today, I had lunch with my parents at IMM and did some shopping at Daiso. I was pushing Lavigne in her stroller and she was singing and making up stories while I shopped. I noticed this lady with a young boy looking at us on a few occasions. Perhaps Lavigne was attracting the attention with her not-so-soft voice, I had thought.

While waiting for my parents outside the store, I saw the lady again. This time, she walked towards me and told me she wasn't trying to pry but asked me if I am Roslyn and that I live in UK. At that point, I was sure she's one of my readers here. I tried hard to recall if I know her. So I asked through which blog did she get to know about mine? I think she said it's from her sister's or friend's link's to another person's link to mine. I didn't really get the picture. Anyway, thank you for coming up to say 'hello'. To any other readers out there, if you bump into me somewhere, please feel free to come to me to say 'hi'. It's nice to know you read my blog.

Update (5th Jan):

I met up with a 'blogging friend', Joan, today. A few days back, she posted on her blog saying that she's giving away some books. I couldn't believe it when I saw the titles. 'Confessions of a Shopaholics' and 'The Baby Group'. I've always been a big fan of the Shopaholics series. Coincidentally, I was reading an old copy of Her World the night before and had come across a review of the book by Rowan Coleman. I had read her other book 'The Accidental Mother' so am interested in reading this one. Anyway, I've always been drawn to novels such as these, including the two Yummy Mummy books eversince I became a mum myself. Luck was on my side when I was one of the firsts to respond to Joan's giveaway. I'd always seen the photos of her and her cute baby, Clare on her blog. So it was really nice to finally see them in the flesh. Thanks again for the books, Joan. The Shopaholic book is hilarious!

Update (8th Jan):
A Singaporean lady left a message here and I made a wonderful discovery that her sister actually lives just a stone's throw away from my place. Like myself, she's very keen to get to know more Singaporeans living in UK so it's nice we found each other. Soon, I'll be able to hold a gathering for Singaporeans after knowing quite a few in the past year.
