Winnie came to be with me.  I like her smile.  She hardly smiles this way.

There's a lot in her, many adults the same...

We sat in Mcdonald's, she taught me how to do sales calculations again and bought me mango ice-cream haahaahaa... I felt like a kid.

My first time guiding a day tour, weeeeeeee...

It was a huge group I was in a small bus, there was another big bus (and we were "warned" not to bring such huge group again haahaahaa...).

The group was huge but I only had 2 guests under my wings.

Group photo at Sembawang Fortune God Temple.

2nd stop Kok Fah Farm.

I super love the free range atas pet chicken.

声势浩大 group photo at the main hall of Nirvana.

I was rather disappointed that my guests were here for a free ride to see their niches and pedestals.  They had expressed their interest in our funeral packages.  But I didn't pin high hopes.

Miracle happened, they called me in the morning.  Appointment was fixed on a day where I was in Batam.

I went Rivervale Plaza, there was nothing, old man picked me up then we went Compass One.

Of everything we end up having Shabu Sai for dinner haahaahaa...

But was good and satisfying.

Then otw home, suddenly he decided to by a funeral package for our family.  Before he changed his mind, I ran down Nirvana the next day.

So we bought a 3D2N funeral package with interest free instalment.

It's totally transferrable, ie. whoever in our family goes first (choy choy choy), will be able to utilize the package.

Pre-planning is very important as it is difficult to make decisions when we are grieving.  Most of the time, people are forced to accept whatever is given, or perhaps rather, it is what it is people just leave things as it is and wait for regrets to come later.  Dispute also arises somehow or rather...

So, it's my funeral, I call shots.  We take charge of our own funeral.  Also not with any tom dick henry, but with Nirvana.

After settling my business, went for seminar at TRIO.

Heng, dinner was provided.

The speaker was very loud, so I had no chance to yawn.

I ate a happy plate of chap chay peng at Blk 800+ Tampines.

I am seldom here cos it's just too warm.

But I had to find out where is a good spot to plant our banner.

Old man bought me a life size GD, I screamed until I cried wtf.

I had colored my hair the same color, time flies and that's already more than a year ago.

Had a training on documentation at Nirvana, then meet-up with Darren for dinner.

Found this newly open restaurant in Lot One.

No wow factor but decent enough and the price was very reasonable, the best part was no need to clear the table ourselves.

Genki sushi at SingPost before watching Spidey.

Quality time with my first born over good food.

Movie a bit boring, but was a relaxing day.

After movies bought dinner back from the food carnival.

This was nice and sinful.

The soft mochi pulled.

Tutu kuey was my late mom's favourite.

She left 28 years, I still miss her.

I finished my Jul diary!

Brought Darren to Nirvana.

Winnie had lunch with us.

Then Winnie went to work, Darren and I walked about.  He found Block A special.

We even explored suites that I never been.  We were seriously going from one columbarium to another.

The aircon was cool, every corner was spotless, comfortable.

Inauspicious, nope.  I have no idea why people feel this way.  In fact I feel very peaceful here.

At this time while drafting this post, I am at home for a couple of days, weirdly miss Nirvana.

几天没去富贵山庄，全身不自在。

At Nirvana, cos I wanna listen to Jacq.  Turned out to be, also a welcoming session for a few local artists.

I believe they don't need to know product knowledge or documentation procedures.  All they needed to do is to bring in their connections.

Envy ppl can earn this way, how about me, why me...  Sometimes my 55yo body protest, but I can only keep quiet...

Lovely group photo here.

It's crazy to have photos taken in a columbarium, but looked so cool.  We were having a fun excursion.

Seriously sibei swee.  Nice place to lepak during weekdays.  Not so for weekends... cos it's near the main lobby, ppl tend to walk pass.

The glass buddha was newly installed, genius.

The Royal Suite (帝王阁) houses celebrities.

I love learning from Jacq though I can never be near, but if that helps me to move forward a little, I'll leech on heehee...

今夜还吹着，我喝着西北风。。。

Had been seeing our resident cat very often cos I went out often (lame).

At a market area, getting folks for our day tour.

It's a genuine free day tour to Sembawang Fortune God Temple + Kok Fah Farm + Nirvana.

The bus wasn't free, half sponsored by Nirvana, the other half by us agents.  Ultimately, of course we hoped to close a deal or 2, else it's ok.  A lot of times, people do not pre-plan and commit on the spot, but months later, sometimes a few years later (if I am still alive).  No matter what it's also good to understand more about funerals and hey Nirvana very swee, worth a visit.

We are having another tour on 13 Sep.  Drop me a message if yourself, your parents, your grandparents, your neighbor, whoever is interested.  Follow me for a local day tour ok?

Another long commute to Nirvana (I think it's just far no matter which part of Singapore you are at haahaahaa...).

Had a simple meal at the canteen.

Saw another nice suite, still not able to finish visiting all the suites.

 Then attended a training course.

In theory I do agree with most things, but in reality and my capability and capacity leh??

Waaaa... I slogged so badly in July...

Attended a interesting course on personality test.

I fit into "I", even my zodiac fitted in, laughed die me.

I am a hopelessly emo person lolxx...

The Nescafe capsules didn't fit in nicely, it decided to explode, then 老娘抹到半死.

Old man good mood treat dinner go go go!

Was looking for the newly opened steamboat, found another China restaurant instead.

We had some meat skewers, good and normal.

Couldn't resist, ordered beer, perfect pairing.

Stone pot fish was the STAR!

Absolutely delicious and flavorful with thick bouncy flesh and skin.  I forgotten what fish this was.

The stir fried cabbage was norm, would do without the next time.

Came all the way to Orchard Road to see GD Merch popup store.

Nothing caught my eyes, left within 5 mins.

Tugged back blood pressure control supplement and Clarins foundation.

Very smooth and moisturizing on my old skin.

The coverage is amazing, covering little freckles, 50% of my dark eye circles and gives a smooth soft satin finish.

After a warm morning at the market area enrolling people to the day tour, my young team member literally dragged me to this Korean restaurant at NEX.

Ginseng honey, cold and shiok, enjoyed the mild bitterness.

Warm and comforting kimchi soup.

After lunch Journey to the West to Nirvana to see the twice yearly urn blessing ceremony.

The curtains were drawn, the statues light up and shine, 满满仪式感.

Little auspicious ornaments to put inside the urn.

This is one of the programme Nirvana arrange for customers and comes along with warm service.

Another day at the market to distribute flyers.  After that had lunch.

Old school 碗糕 was sooooooo delicious.

Also bought 2 packets of broccolini for $2.50/pkt only!

Back home, resident having it's noon nap.

If only I could bring it home, too cute.

Old man bought me out for dinner.

Part of me wanted to eat more, part of me afraid to put on weight.
