Christmas

Hey all,

We are definitely not coming back for Christmas. We were planning to but the airfares are 1000euros/person this time. Crazy lah, so we can't spend that kind of money. But should be back for CNY. Will miss you guys for Christmas.

Someone asked in an earlier post if we missed Singapore. Answers as follows:

Miss
1. We miss the chwee-quay at Tiong Bahru Market.
2. Jo misses hugging her nephews.
3. I miss the nice auntie at Cold Storage in Katong Mall. She always gives us a nice hello when we see her.
4. Jo misses the handmade cold soba at Tamon (next to Holy Family Church, Katong).
5. I miss the raw salmon at Tamon. So nice and fresh, so juicy sweeeeeeet.
6. Jo misses real chilli sauce.
7. Surprisingly, Jo misses attending wedding dinners in hotels.
8. I miss the twice monthly Crystal Jade prawn dumpling noodles.
9. Jo misses the kai-kai at Parkway Parade.
10. Jo misses people speaking Singlish.
11. We miss Borders.
12. I miss English.
13. Jo misses Rose Garden.
14. I miss the Friday lan parties. Dearly.

Don't Miss
1. We don't miss the heat and bad air.
2. We don't miss the bad wanton noodles at Joo Chiat.
3. We don't miss msg overload in hawker food.
4. We don't miss the stress.
5. Jo doesn't miss being judged by other people.
6. Jo doesn't miss the chitchat about housing and branded goods.

Missing you all,
Wes

Ha! Finally, someone else who thinks the wanton noodle stores along Joo Chiat Place stinks! I don't know what the hype is all about, they are so bad.

Will send nice thoughts whenever I'm overhead Paris (I was this morning, on the way back from NY).
