ASEAN ladies

Robina and the ladies practised hard for two weeks thru the October holidays to put together this item for the ASEAN Ladies tea gathering at our embassy. This year they got a good dancing teacher Cheng Na, to help train them and choreograph the routine. the difference is telling!

Even the other ASEAN ladies enjoyed the afternoon and commented on the girls' great performance.

Sally sleeping in

Sally usually takes over the bed on weekends after we wake up. she made herself comfortable this morning by wedging herself between two pillows.
She was trying to snooze for another round before her breakfast
Sally weakly acknowledged Robina calling her.

seafood dinner

made a simple dinner with prawns, clams, with basil, zucchini, shallots, onions, garlic and sliced chilli. doused with white wine and baked in oven
a local mackerel fish similar to our Kembong, but slightly bigger. baked on a bed of dill and basil, plus drenched in beer.

Sally's baked salmon dinner (RMB35 or about S$7 per 500grams) was more expensive than our fish (RMB12). but her slab of salmon (about RMB30) should last her for 5 meals...
