A few weeks ago my grandmother and my aunt flew off to Melbourne for a week long holiday. Also flying out with them was my cousin who would be doing his matriculation studies there at one of the university.

Turning back the clock to more then a decade ago I can still remember the fond memories I had when I was studying at Melbourne University. Going to school by tram and train. It was certainly an experience which I couldn’t have if I was doing my degree here in Singapore.

I really enjoyed myself studying in the Old Arts halls of Melbourne Uni and seeing pictures of it brings back fond memories of sitting outside on the lawns and having lunches with friends.

Living and studying abroad widen my exposure and knowledge about different cultures and lifestyles. I also got the opportunity to bond with people of different backgrounds and nationalities.

It was the place where I met and fell in love with my hubby.We hope to bring the boys there when they are much older so they can enjoy the rich and diverse culture of Melbourne.

Where will you be going this holidays?

TT- Ryan’s 5th Birthday

Dominique Thoughts Baking and Confections, Cake, Lightning McQueen

Time really flies very fast. Ryan is now 5!! This year I had a challenge from him. All the while he has been very interested in Thomas the train and I was planning on making him a train cake for his birthday but at the last minute he asked for a Chocolate fudge Lightning McQueen cake instead. It took me a Saturday morning but I managed to fulfill his wish.

Tomorrow will be Part 2of his birthday celebrations as we will have another cake cutting session in his school.
