Mom of 3rd Culture Kids

I’m excited! A friend of mine has bought a small scale for me. This is to be used for my baking endeavors. She just couldn’t believe that I ‘survived’ baking without using a scale. I told her my secret and that’s converting the weight in grams into cups by the use of Mr. Google Search. LOL! I’m looking forward to see my new scale, I’m not sure if it will look like those analytical balances that I see in the internet.

With the new scale, I can use my other recipe books with ease…

We’ve been looking for a new place to rent for a few months now. Well, not seriously though but we can’t help but be curious of the price and see the interiors of a house whenever we see a  ’For Rent’ sign. Our desire to move out from this house was borne out from our kids who wanted to run around in a yard since our present house doesn’t have a yard.

A  month back we saw this house with a big yard. Our kids love the big yard and we thought that the house looks neat. It was quite pricey for us but anyways, we asked the caretaker if we could take a look inside. The house looked nice from the outside but the interior is rather a bit worn out. We saw that there were still the old furniture left by the previous owner. My daughter was even fascinated by the dressing table that looked like a Horchow furniture. The house was really not that bad given we can repaint it and make a few improvements but I was a bit turned off by the fact that it doesn’t have a proper kitchen. It’s like the kitchen is a part of the living room and it’s very small. As a frustrated baker, I want to have a proper kitchen.

All in all we felt that the house isn’t worth the price. Maybe even if our ‘desired’ price is given to us, it won’t still be worth it. So as of now, we stay in our present house until such time where we have to  move someplace else.

Last week, we went for ‘lunch out’ with kids who are studying at the center. It was actually their last day of the summer workshop, so we decided to do something fun for them. So, we took them for lunch at KFC at Siam Nakarin. The kids were so excited and happy to be in KFC and at the same time spend more time with their classmates.

My daughter and son also enjoyed that afternoon and as they said, they wish that the afternoon would not end. But it did and they sadly bid good bye to their Thai friends. Till the next summer workshop!
