One of our family’s favourite tea time treat is scones.

The scone is a small British quick bread of Scottish origin, most typically served with clotted cream and raspberry jam. Last Sunday Mummy had a craving, so she whipped out a batch of English buttermilk scones for us. Here’s some snaps of the final outcome.

Daddy is definitely a fan. Look at him devour it!

2 weekends ago, mumsy thought it would be a nice idea to go fish shopping together. Our ponds were looking quite sad after our biggest koi ‘Lao Da’ died. The smaller pond has its ups and downs (in terms of numbers) because the birds keep eating the little guppies up!

I made a quick video below.

Off topic: I think goldfishes are ugly, especially the ones that look like they have brains as a face.

Instead of succumbing to the commercialism of mother’s day, we did what we used to do as kids… Make her breakfast! Jie jie and I make a great tag team.

You’ll spot a Leow when you see one, it’s a family trait.

Lots of love

I’ve heard a lot of stories on the severity of sibling rivalry; the screaming, fist fights, hair pulling, scratches and vulgarities. Me and my sister just never went through all that?! Is that weird? Maybe it’s the age difference? Or maybe it’s the threat of ‘the teng tiao’ that hangs in the back kitchen with the brooms. Dang danggg!!

Anyway, I’ve always had a lot of respect for my sister growing up; she was definitely miss goodie-two-shoes in the family. The one that read more books, didn’t get into too much trouble and did better in school.

Looking back, I couldn’t have asked for a better sister. There’s no one else I’d rather do the egyptian walk around the house with, that was our thang. We’re such goofballs. I’m completely myself around her…

So I’ve wanted to post this draft for the longest time, but wanted to make sure I had the go ahead before doing so. A few weeks back, we celebrated my mum’s birthday as usual with a family dinner at home.
