For New Year's Eve, we had lots to celebrate. Tonight, over at KC's family get-together dinner, Theresa triumphantly produced her very own Singapore-style chicken curry, much to everyone's delight. After 32 years, she had suddenly discovered her innate culinary talents. In concocting her pièce de résistance, she took advice from everyone around her, including multi-racial (Maly-Indian-Chinese) tips for her secret recipe :-)
Since 4 months ago, after firing the maid and revamping the kitchen, she has been tinkering around with different recipes. Daryl, Yihan & myself were willing subjects and unanimously declared her curry to be our favourite dish! Daryl next added much cause for jubilation by announcing his official engagement to his beloved Yihan. She happily showed everyone her uniquely designed diamond ring, modelled after Theresa's engagement ring. Way back in 1982, it was specially created by grandma & grandpa's personal jeweller to bless our marriage, 3 decades and counting.
Good news to round it all up was Daryl & Yihan's successful bid for government-subsidised housing after a lucky first-try ! Somehow they had the good fortune of securing a high-floor, brand-new apartment nearby, currently being built right next to the MRT (mass rapid transit) train & bus station. In order to qualify for a bid in the first instance, Daryl showed his foresight by starting his job in insurance/financial planning more than one year ago, while doing part-time university studies. Bravo!
