Nua day with Lavendar bakery's round croissant and Starbucks matcha latte.
My friend "laughed" at me said I eat at home also got 仪式感.  It's quality of life lah lolxx...

Work day.  Had strong intention to save money, so went to Far East Plaza.  Ended up with chicken rice of S$11.  I was so sad.  To add on to the pocket damage, I had S$3.50 of peach gum drink.
My salary half gone.

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

20/09/2024

I carried my "milk bottle" and matching bag to work heehee...

Looking at Scott's supermarket's fruits with unbelievable price lolxx...

Auntie L (her counter opposite me) told me about this restaurant in Shaw Centre.
They were had promo of S$5 porridge.
But I ordered rice rolls also, so that damage was around $15 after the ++.
I told her about the promo, she never went.  From then I realised she only eats in food courts.  So I stopped talking to her about food.  But she would continuously tell me about all the restaurants around Orchard, she went to none lolxx...

Old man's company had gather at Pacific Plaza's KTV.  I joined cos I needed him to drive me back heehee...

Photo of the smaller room, ambience was great.

Stairs in the tunnel.  Heeled mary janes killed my ankles.  I bought a pair of ballerina flats which was slightly better, but I was still in agony dealing with these stairs...

Another attempt to save money.  Luncheon meat + fried pin head mushrooms.
After this, I felt indigestion throughout the day, urrrggg...

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

22/09/2024

Another attempt to save money, spinach veg soup.  Veg tasted like wild grass, egg toppings was 1 tablespoon carefully scooped.  This freaking Food Repulic at Shaw really CMI.
Then a foreign couple joined sat with me, I... ate ASAP wtf.

Saved on food, splurged on coffee, 24 instant pods was a huge damage of $60+, I must be out of my mind lolxx...  Free ice tray but still damage...

Bought supper home from Isetan supermarket with end day sale of 50% off.
It's kid's meal portion not justify for original price.

23/09/2023

Nightmare started from here.

A small counter (which didn't even last for 2 weeks) hidden in their so called Beauty Library.
Wall shelf.
When I went to the washroom, one of the cashier stacks up my prestige products with cleansers like Xmas tree.  I thought it was done by itchy hands children.  So this cashier owned up and said that I should take initiative to do my display.  I didn't want to argue with her since the display would be pull down in 2 days time.

When the cashier forgotten she was a cashier, only.

I couldn't help feeling very miserable working in BHG despite of the closer travel.

The only console I could seek of was food...
Lunch at Josh's Grill.

Lunch crowd clearing off at 2pm, so it was nice and quiet.

I hate it there so much that I couldn't smile.

Warm bread was thoughtful.

Mushroom soup whenever the restaurant didn't have lobster bisque.

I was trying the cut down cost by ordering chicken instead of beef lolxx...
The salad came with rojak sauce which was so special.

I either stood still or floating around in Beauty Library like a ghost.  Ghost revived as human the moment I stepped out of that shitty place where cheap cashiers rules (they are cheap to me not becos of their job title but becos of their behaviours and wicked mind sets).  They behaved like the mall's director.

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

25/09/2024

Stuck here again, no god could save me...

Lunch was a "success", less than $5, though not enjoyable.

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

26/09/2024

Luis arriving from Austrialia in mid night.

Darren and I went to pick him up.  Instead of waiting at the gate, we had Mdonald's waahaahaa...
The poor kid didn't see us welcoming him at the gate and had to pull his own luggage to Mcdonald's to meet up with us.  Nevertheless, he pinched a few bites and was driven home lolxx...

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

27/09/2024

Bullied.

I actually got scolded by a BHG cashier and I was too retarded to scold back.  It was damn stupid of me to get bullied at this age.  Old man say I fierce at home only, outside totally useless lolxx...

A few days later, I told my manager about it and he shoot whatsapp to BHG to lodge a complain on the spot lolxx...  I couldn't believe my manager was so nice.  He didn't doubt me, he didn't say he would investigate the matter.  It made working with the company worth it.

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

28/09/2024

Back at Scotts, felt like heaven, it's winter heaven with aircon blasting with cashiers mending their own job scope and nothing else.

Lunch.

$15+ damage on peppery soup with pork slices noodles.

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

30/09/2024

Father bath day.  My kid sis had been travelling almost every month.
High tea with helper.

PapaVoo came to pick me up.

We landed in Tampines Mall for had dinner.
My mouth was all numbed but freaking yummy.

Slow at updating cos... I booked a flight and was doing the itinerary heeheehee...

I had vowed not to fly for the rest of 2024, but job was as much as I hoped it to be.  Old man also suddenly said he want to clear leave, so... I "un-vowed".

1st half of Sep

 
01/09/2024

Ham and cheese a bit messy.
By the time I woke up, old man just came back from his routine walk every Sunday with Jack Neo's organisation.
Had tea together, talked a bit.

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

02/09/2024

Fried Indonesian pempek, now the pot of oil still there lolxx...

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

03/09/2024

Newly opened Brother Bird croissants in Tampines One.
Very ex, my kids said so so only.  The kids ate everything, didn't get to try a bite, urrrggg...

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

04/09/2024

Went interview.  Had only red court shoes leftover from Clarins.  The heels were gone before I knew it.
Then it started to open mouth.  Had slippers with me was the most clever thing I ever did.

The interview was more like a job introduction, so I was in.  I got the job!

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

06/09/2024

Anyhow search online and found a dinning place for PapaVoo's birthday dinner.
We used to go HDL.  But not sure since when, we went so often that it became a dinning option in normal days.  So we needed a new place for a new experience and special feel.


Food standard slightly better than Jack's Place but quite ex we felt.

2 tablespoons of asparagus was $12.

Nice beef steak.

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

07/09/2024

Visited Darren who's on his short term job.
While the job demanded zero skill, standing whole day was a killer.

Went Oakwood with some durians.

We had chilli crab feast.

Happy Birthday Peter Voo.

08/09/2024

Send Luis off to Australia at T2.
Son's 3 weeks NS assignment.

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

09/09/2024

First day of work at Isetan Scotts.
Water point and washroom were just a few meters away.  We could use the escalators and elevators without passing through security checks.  We could carry handbags (some even had big tote bags) into the sales floor. With literally no restrictions, the best mall I ever worked in.  It was extremely quiet without shoppers.  So I was paid by just sitting down.
The only downside it was very far from home.

Meal at food court was almost $10.

Was wearing a pair of pretty heeled mary janes which send my ankles to hell.

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

10/09/2024

Bought my lucky charm along.

Gentle reminder to myself:
"You are here to work, not to make friends."

One auntie talked to me a lot.  She was friendly but I guess we had generation gap lolxx...  She didn't know what's Michelin though she told me she's a foodie.  She didn't know what's northern lights though she mention she love to travel.
We should just smile and say "hello" and "bye".

Bought a 900ml water bottle for work.  Looked like a giant baby milk bottle, so cute de.

Love the rubber padding at the bottom.

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

11/09/2024

Precious nua day at home after 2 work days in a row.

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

12/09/2024

Ham and cheese again.

Bought durian crepe cake from Wang Lei.  It came in a enormous foam box.

Kept half for old man and myself, the other half told him to give his office pantry to share the calories and cholesterol.
Super sinful, super yummy.

Dinner at Sanook Kitchen, satisfying, just that the fish wasn't too fresh, but still good in the thai lime spicy sauce.

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

13/09/2024

Old man bought a bag of lantern festival old school cookies for his walkathon mates.

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

14/09/2024

Bath father day.  Ta bao to Oakwood.

Nephew and helper enjoyed lunch.  Their first time trying "Eat 3 Bowls".

After lunch and the back breaking bath, went back home.

Dinner we went round market.  Had one of the best zhi char ever.

Savory beancurd.  Softer and smoother than tofu, topped assorted crispy bites.
So delicious, I would be back again.

Sambal veg with prawns.

Even the oyster egg was special with fluffy omelette.

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

15/09/2024

Drove pass rainbow flats with a rare sight of blue sky (for less than a min than it was back to usual grey again).

At Jewel, brought old man to try Ipoh Town Cafe.

Curry noodles... we just preferred laksa.

Coconut pudding.

Nasi lemak was still the best with juicy big fried chicken and sambal so good that we had to pay $1 for extra serving.

The other time NaiXue Tea just opened and there was a long long queue.
Now no queue and there's a promo!
Milk tea was nice like another other brands, the freebie was great haahaahaa...

Proceeded to my purpose of coming to the airport - sunflowers.  Old man glued onto his phone, I almost wanted to send him to his car.  So technically I was alone taking the following photos:

Old man finally caught up with me, after this photo, went back liao.
