Last gathering

Last Sunday was our final gathering with our friends in Zurich. I guess we're gonna miss them...

Finally Ah Kin has the courage to invite friends over for a home cook lunch given 6 months of daily practice :)

Lunch menu:
Curry chicken (Prima Premix ;p)
Stew pork with black fungus and mushrooms
Fried prawns
Fried wangbok with carrots and tomatoes (bai cai - the veggie that sweetens the steamboat soup)

I joked that it's a chinese tradition for guests to pack food home if they can't be finished. I guess they are worried they have to pack food home :>
It's a pity that Denes wasn't there with us as he was looked after by his grandpa who was there visiting them for a week.

Hmm...I wonder how he looks like now cos Anna said that because of the day care, he gets sick quite often and there was once he didn't eat much for 5 days. Poor little fella!
Do hope Anna could find a suitable nanny or day care for him. It seems that it isn't easy to look for a day care or nanny here. Most of the schools have waiting list of up to a year! Aren't we thankful that we are spoilt for choice for the number of childcare centres we have in Singapore? Thou not all offer quality care I must say.

And we were just talking about Made In China goods are commonly found here in Switzerland, came the shocking news of the milk contamination saga. Well, not that shocking to me of course.

Well, I think Uncle Tan is feeling kinda attached to this place a month ago and has been taking pictures of the neighbourhood. These are the few night shots of where we stay. Actually it looks quite nice at night huh :)


Our apartment, Zelgstrasse 19




The nearest convenience store, Roli's, that also sells cheap lunches with daily set menues at CHF 7 that comes with a small portion of salat. What is good is, it opens at 6am.

One more day to our departure and we seriously miss this place!

I still have some entries which I haven't had time to upload and post. Well, guess I shall continue when I'm back in Singapore cos some info especially the entry on shopping, would be useful for those who might be keen to visit Switzerland one day. K, gotta go and pack now. Ciao!
