On This Day - (24th Dec) #Reminders from FB#

24th Dec 2022
* 🎧 listening to Joe Hisaishi

After returning back, that same day I had to tinker just a little bit on the piano amidst my work. What music? Ghibli lor! Was barely 2 songs but I'm satisfied.

Yesterday, che-che also played the piano, ghibli songs. Then I decided not to be lazy but to turn on the organ and started playing ghibli songs with headphone on. So when can we do a 'messy' duet together?

Can never tire of the songs. As I'm ironing clothes, I need this. Haha!

Really can't wait for his concert next year.

Footnote written in 2023 : Girls Athena Ting, Aricia Ting banned for 5 years. I'm not banned right? Means I can go??



Hello! Nice to see you again after 20 or 21 years!


SQ crew would know this place …. 😉 

Usually it's a 1N flight pattern but the time hubby followed me I had a 3N flight. (The other flight he followed me was a JNB flight.

Feels weird serving your spouse on board, I didn't want to give him a choice 🤣

Fond memories of this place, so I was surprised when hubby booked our hotel here too. But we never got a chance to jalan in CC until our return leg 😂, busy sightseeing lah!



Ehhh..... 🚨

No more Japan trip for the girls for the next 5yrs!





We ate so many bowls of ramen that I don't even crave for mee siam or mee rebus when we got back


Met up with my Japanese girlfriend, Mio. She brought us to this really secluded place to eat. Foreigners wouldn't even know this place existed 🤭



love mapo tofu







Her dunno number what ice-cream.

"Ah girl ah.can you please eat faster or not? Your mummy is cold."













One of our accommodation is this Japanese house. My imagination ran wild, ninjas running along the corridors and throwing their shuriken through the paper door.

It was a fun experience nonetheless. So fun that … there is no heater in the morning, couldn't even shower before

going out. 臭臭



Oh oh!


This was really a "oh no" moment. Snowed heavier after that that we had to turn back coz ...we're not even at our destination. We also have to consider the fact that we had to drive the same route back after that. Wouldn't want to get caught in worst ❄️ condition 







Big sister offering her help


Then I heard her grumbling as she dragged her sister behind her 🤣





Nope! Different castle but they all look so alike



✈️ home

Upon arrival bumped into friend who must have missed me so much that she went to welcome me near the gate 😂😂

So funny


Footnote written in 2023 : Septiani Tan 谢谢您来迎接我 😂

24th Dec 2021

Merry Christmas to our friends and family in every part of the world.

Have a great holiday with your family!

Wishing all a great 2022 ahead!


For the first time we love the sun! Yay! Off to NP



Look at this 2 happy girls!

We had to change plans coz it was raining whales and dinosaurs in NP. Pray for a better weather tmrw when we hit the NP.

Che-che wanted her own luggage bag and her sister has a deal as well.

We came with 2 bags but going back with 4!! Can't travel light anymore, then hubby said next time we need to rent a bigger car.

两个一直笑眯眯尤其姐姐。收获最多

Footnote written in 2021 : Indeed. This time round we looked for a car that has a bigger boot space. But the car is smaller though.

We flew out with 3 luggage bags + 1 food bag.

  1. lil’ one n I shared one with our personal effects n other stuffs (cookpot, plugs, hiking sticks, clothes detergent, scrub, heat pads etc..) we need. That's why my bag is always so heavy with nitty gritty stuffs even tho I travel light with only a few pieces of clothes n hv to keep washing them.
  2. Che-che's used her own bag with only her clothes inside + our must have medication & first aid kit.
  3. The man used lil' one's bag with only his stuffs inside.
  4. cloth bag which we put instant food supplies on the way out, which will be used to put purchases inside.
  5. carry on Naraya bag with our thick winter coats.

All the intense walking around from the start of the hol, calories lost will be over-replaced quickly here. Hee! 

Footnote written in 2023 : I miss these goodies. Aricia Ting misses their eclair


24th Dec 2018

Christmas greetings from our family to yours




24th Dec 2018

Che-che tells me she can't recall she's been to Munich before (she was only 2+?) but the moment we stepped into this church, she told me she somehow has an idea that she's been into this church before, and asked me if we did.

Something she wanted to do was to re-anact her sitting on the floor pic but I have no idea where my clumsy girl tripped that time. We didn't do that in the end coz she'll look ridiculous sitting on a busy walkway.

Footnote written in 2023 : Some memories are vivid; some memories are blurry; some have no memories (Aricia Ting always like to chase pigeons so she never pays attention to sights 🤦🏻‍♀️)


Hmm....too much of Christmas Markets leh...spoil so many pictures that I'd love to take. And I miss my mee-siam and carrot cake. I'm feeling nauseated over bratwurst though I only had like 4-5 small pieces throughout our nights in Germany 🇩🇪
