Sons all went out.  We had a talk.  Just to find out the reason why he never apologize - he said he never do wrong.  His point of view was that I was a trouble maker.  Money was all he talked about, I suddenly realized he was afraid that I was running after his money.  He forgotten that I used to earn more than him.  If I am a money digger, I marry him a pauper?

Now my only wish in life is to divorce him.

Bought by Darren and I have been drinking this on alternate days.  I hate the taste but my bowels is saved.  To the extend that I am almost free from medication.

Last night I dreamt in the morning (didn't manage to get proper sleep at night):

Was river watching with my husband.  The water level was rising very quickly, so we had to leave.  As usual, he was much faster than me, I couldn't catch up with him and finally lost the sight of him in a school.  I looked for him around the school, outside the school, in the carpark.  I ran into a few men that looked like him.  I tried to call or massage him, but my phone wouldn't work...

I lost him in both the dream and reality...

伤心归伤心，still had to eat.

Last packet of Sydney pasta.

Rainbow Day-G seemed to be telling me there's hope in life.

I dreamt of ex-husband again.  He walked towards me slowly with a painful expression.  Heart pain was for real, and he got closer, I saw so much redness and wounds on his body, he collapsed onto me, I woke up with tears.

Did I hurt him?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It says online that it take someone to miss me so much that he is able to come into my dream.  He is so heartless and selfish, miss me for what?  I don't know why I had to cry again.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

08/08/2025

Haiz... no energy to cry already.  God is trying to save my pocket, one day I will get my Zoa.

I fell forward outside the toilet, banged on my right knee and elbow.  Thank god for watching over me, didn't hit my head.

It was so painful that I started laughing, cos all the emo-ness was instantly transferred to my knee and elbow.

But at night I was crying again.  Saw this phrase online:

分手不代表感情结束，是感情的另一个方式。 I had to close the door and cried again.  That dragon didn't even know I miss him so much...

So I had a painful day, physically and emotionally.

Since separation under the same roof, I stopped buying groceries, trying to save every dollar till I get a job.  Good thing that the house has abundance of almost everything.   I still get to drink Starbucks but it was bitter, haiz...

Meet up with Vivian over dinner.

She wasn't happy with her job, it was a bitchy environment.  So she is joining me in "jobless group".  Back in China, her 90yo mother fell down, broke her leg.  She had her set of problem to solve.  But she said I am in a worst plight lolxx...  I never expect myself to be in this plight either hur hur hur haiz...

Shu Liu Xiang 蜀留香，inexpensive, hidden gem behind busy NorthPoint Mall.

My rare occasion eating with a friend, she is such nice person, hope to make my effort to be closely in touch with her.

Some sweet glazed potato which was so yummy. 

Mild spicy fish was good too.

It's sad that my sis rejected my help with her shifting house.  I know she always felt obligated to look after me whenever I was in UAE (she's never convinced that I can take care of myself lolxx...).  

Anyways, not a bad thing, I continue with my job hunting though all my resumes sunk.  Demoralizing, no help and no hope at the moment.  The least I can do now is to stay alive.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

14/08/2025

I had thought of working in a cruise ship but I may not be good for the physical demand.  Thought of working in Dubai or Sydney, just my wishful thoughts, can't bare to dump my father solely to my kid sis...

I opened up the can of horse meat to put into fried rice.  It tasted like beef, not a fan, our first and last try.

I had this palm size big fat Pingu sat beside my PC for quite a few days.

But it was only this day I realized a tear drop on it's right cheek.  Looked so pitiful that I teared also, haiz... sign of depression I know, whatever...

Couldn't sleep well these few nights, having headaches in mornings, trying to break this vicious cycle.  My ex-company's HR could actually message me to ask which are my available work days for Sep.  The manager also created a group chat for work and added me.  I never seen a company running this way in my entire life, never been more glad to resign.

Saw this online, too funny.  如果把你的一生拍成电影，片名会是什么？ A genius came out with this title:

Fml X100 waahaahaa...

Not any better here, the world is so big, but there's no place for me, rentals are so expensive...

I cooked dinner for my sons, their father had a fixed routine of having dinner with colleagues/friends every Tues and Fri.

Mapo tofu from Lee Kim Kee was so saltish.

I must be out of mind to msg him, I just dropped a wave emoji and he replied... my life buoy.

From then, I stopped crying, I am the happiest sinner ever.  I know it's not going last but I don't care.

Fantastic 4, merch pop-up outside Isetan Scotts.

They didn't have mouse-pad, too bad.

Had lunch with another promoter selling hair products.

Had Mcdonald's prawn with chilli crab sauce.  Within an hour, realized she was sick in the brain, so was her beloved husband.  Both of them were 打散工, no stable income but hired a maid to take care of their daughter who was already 7 years old.  She said she did all the housework to proof to her husband that she didn't need a maid.  But her husband needed the maid as a lover wtf...

Later in late noon I was running fever.   I requested him to drove me back.  He came to pick me up, feeling a bit touched when I saw he brought a bottle of mineral water and panadol.  Then he said Darren told him to bring these.  EQ don't exist in him.

Probably gave him the wrong signal, I shouldn't be doing this again if I really want a divorce.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

20/07/2025

Had Twyst pasta.  This was my last day of work which I didn't know until the next day.

The company found out about my hair, they requested me dye to natural color which I didn't want to comply, so I decided to leave and they decided to let me go instantly.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

24/07/2025

Had lunch near Tampines North Polyclinic, the PRC worker clueless about the CDC voucher, so I paid cash.  (Anyway the vouchers are life saving being jobless.  I am feeding on existing oatmeal and instant noodles for lunch.  He still buys dinner for me using CDC as well.  Once I get a job, I will settle on my own.  The cut will be cleaner and I will have a straighter spine).

It's luke warm, urrrgggg...

The reason was to get a cream for my swollen eye and cough syrup.

Wasted trip cos the doc only prescribed pharmacy eye drops, haiz... The cough syrup tasted like poison but a few dose was good enough to kill it.

Literally bo lang with aircon.

The automated medicine dispenser worked in sloth speed, it will improve, one day.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

27/07/2025

I'm trying to stay in as much as possible.  He bought my favorite cube loaf from Lavender bakery.

He can be really nice to me, if he is willing to, unfortunately not most of the time.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

28/07/2025

So hungry after Fantastic 4 movie.

Dinner with my 2 sons, they are all I have.  But I try not to bother them too much.

Let me try to remember this meal as long as I can...

Fixed Day-G into the cradle, my night light now.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

29/07/2025

I love the texture of the pasta bought from Sydney, should had gotten more!

One packet was good for Luis and me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

30/07/2025

FUN FACT - Saizeriya gives double the portion for take-away compared to dine-in.

11 - 16 Jul 2025

11/07/2025

Need to show off the earrings I bought at The Rocks Markets.

French designer living in Sydney.

I thought they looked like leaf veins, Luis said it looked like floating seaweed.

And finally, a friend told me it's more like coral.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

12/07/2025

SUNBITES, must buy.  Not sure if it's available only in Sydney or other cities of Australia too.

Another day working in Scotts, not knowing it's my last few days.

Lunch at Wisma food court, chicken pot not really nice.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

13/07/2025

Another day at work, Indonesian nasi padang at Wisma food court.

Singapore style, nothing Indonesian about it, but still good (and expensive).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

15/07/2025

Finally 2 sons were home.  The Squid Game giant instant noodles from Donki was still to much for 3 of us.

So I kept 1 disc in the fridge.  Was ok, not wow.

JB trip with Darren and CaiCai.  I was trying to spend more time with her, she was leaving for studies to Melbourne soon.

It was 20mins drive from check-point or longer to Capyba Cafe.

 Non-expensive due to our strong currency.

Some fruit juice nice but barely 150ml.

Nice tornado egg and curry, according to the children chicken cutlet not so but reasonable for the price.

Chilli smoked duck pasta, not bad.

My homecooked teriyaki chicken with rice lolxx...

Chocolate pudding in capybara mold, where were the eyes?

After the meal we went to the 2nd floor where the farm animals were.

Finally close up, zero distant with 2 capybaras.  SO CUTE!!!  For the moment I didn't care I have a husband or not, I had CAPYBARA omg...

Also alpaca.  I realize I love animals with blur expressions on face, same species as me lolxx...

CaiCai crazy over the 2 baby goats.

Atas wool sheeps.

The 2 babies.

Darren giving the cabybara a spa belly rub.

After that we went Sutera Mall.  CaiCai wanted to buy dried cuttlefish (we later found out KSL has one outlet also).  But this was a good stop.

We found one bakery nicer than Lavender.

Had Chagee for the first time in JB.  Always long queue in City Square.

Then Maco Cafe's crepe cake was WOW WOW WOW!!!  Lady M pales in comparison.

This was Hokkaido Milk crepe cake, crazy delicious.

Spend some time in TTWN Bear but we were too broke to buy anything.

Found 3 scary enormous arapaima gigas fish here, my gosh...

They were probably 1.5m long each.

Headed to KSL for massage as the one in Sutera Mall was a bit ex.  Even handphone screen protectors was very expensive here, why huh?

We found this big massage parlor called D'Asia.

I had a foot massage.

Dinner at You Kee XO.  Walked pass so many times, but first time eating here.  We should had earlier, it was not bad!

Meat platter came a bit small, so I ordered another plate of roast duck.

Bubbling claypot tofu.

Saw at a random shop selling Demon Slayer t-shirts.

I am nuts over Nezuko, but the material was too thick and the cutting looked really weird.

Better things will coming along, hope by then I am gained earning power, I am tired of crying.
