Had dry truffle ramen from Suparakki Ramen.

Somehow not as nice as I thought it would be.

Love this little LifeWork sling bag, but it's full with only one sunglass holder.

This offer for for weekdays till 5pm.
I went at 4.45pm to catch the deal lolxx...
Had tofu claypot with rice.
It could had pass as a vegetarian dish with those little bits of minced pork.

I hate climbing and up down the double decker.
But the view was pretty good.

Till now it's still difficult to gage the timing.  It's a day arriving at work place 15mins too early.
So I queue for this dumpling at Kopitam foodcourt.
I waited and waited till I was almost late for work.  No choice I had to go to the salon first to clock in and ran back to the stall again to collect my dumplings noodle.

I ate half for breakfast and half for lunch a few hours later.
Not bad, but I am still not patient enough to go through the queue and wait again.

On the way to work, sat beside an elderly lady whom I believe was old enough to mother me.
She started talking to me and praise that my skin was so smooth.  Really meh?  (for a long I never look at myself closely in the mirror, ok quite smooth after the CC cushion haahaa...).  Probably back in her mind, she recalled she used to be young too...  Then she told me she was going to Woodlands Metro to buy a hat.  All the way from Tampines??  But perhaps travelling kills time and made her happy.  I love it travelling too but on a bigger radius of outside Singapore.

I have a joke from my work place to share -

I had take-away wonton (in green plastic bowl packaging) yesterday morning for breakfast and lunch in the pantry.  I finished eating and threw it away yesterday.  This morning, another colleague (Christine) bought the same thing and left it untouched at the pantry.  Little Lamb thought I left thrash in the pantry and threw it in the bin.  Christine came back into the pantry and her breakfast was missing.  She thought her bowl of wanton had legs!  The next thing she saw it in the bin.  She screamed: "LITTLE LAAAAAAAAAMB!!"  I was laughing the entire day.  We love our Little Lamb so much, she's about 23 years old, too cute.

Mid day Christine bought us drinks to perk us up to push through a tough busy day.
It's artificial syrup but I appreciate her kindness.

I took this photo, post it on IG to show Yohanes.
.. left I know...

When I was stepping out of the salon, Owl came.  To think that we nearly missed each other.
She told me about her trip to BBK to watch GD's Fan Meet and waiting with me till Darren reached to pick me up.  We went to the airport to fetch old man.

We went to fetch old man with good intentions also to set him a good example of how family members should take care of each other.  I wasn't sure he would reflect on himself but we accidentally chop carrot him an expensive dinner lolxx...

We really "bo hua", small portions not even a full plate, from only one trip to the salad bar haahaa...

Korean ginseng chicken soup with cheese, wow... weird but surprisingly yummy and something new at last!

What cheese pizza they called it?  Anyway it was thin crust and was so good.
We were thinking of ta bao-ing if we couldn't finish, but it was so good, all went in our stomach well.

Back home.  Old man bought very nice fridge magnets from his trip to Shanghai.
I put one in our fridge and kept one for my baby sis.

He bought 2 tubs of snow cream for him.
I appreciated that I wasn't totally out of his mind.  When I pull open the package, was surprised to see
"愿您一路繁花".  That instant, my eyes welled... Nobody knows what I had been through.  I am so in pain in every step and every step is so heavy... (but things are getting better as I see hope and money with EIG).  我也愿一路无痛无伤,无需繁花,只愿无荆棘。。。

Feel so established to finish this blog on my single off day, yeah.

I hardly absorb anything during the training.  Lunch break at Eat Three Bowls again.

One plate of fried chicken chop was too much, 卤肉饭 wasn't authentic already, it's changed to Singapore style, not oily any more, not gluey any more.

The gold color looked so striking against my red uniform.
I hope to wear this red t-shirt till my contract ends.  I don't want the white stiff collar top.  I hope the office don't place the order for a XXL top just for me, I am so fine with t-shirt sia.

Not much responsibility at work yet, also the girls were in the salon, so I ate out at Ban Heng Porridge.

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

I managed to cook fried rice before going to work.  Not sure how I did it, cos now I am so dead everyday lolxx...
The small portion shared with a son and sustained till dinner time.

Although I worked well with the girls but the pantry table was only big enough for 2pax.  Initially I don't how to fit into the work culture, took me a few days to adjust myself.  So now I either eat out or eat after their break.

Dinner ta bao back and had the whole small pantry to myself.
Nice but not my liking, no urge to return.
Basmati rice + eye mayo (too much cream) + beef (so dry) + tofu (this was nice)

Off day to JB.  Felt so lonely, if I had known, I rather stay single.

I was just running out of time, had only 30mins at Keijometo Cafe.
I took these photos quickly while waiting for the food to come.  The surrounding looked better in real.  Photos online looked like a half build deserted factory.
When I returned, food arrived on my table.

Salmon Ochazuke + green latte was about S$16 muaaahaahaa....
Tasted better expected, yummy big time, I have to come back again to try other dishes.

Took another few photos while waiting for Grab cab.

So I was at E&E Dental.
1st treatment was RM600, this 2nd treatment was RM636.  My AI sounded as if root canal was a torture.  But both my treatments were literally painless.

The root canal was about 1.5hrs, I managed to squeeze time to trim my hair.

Ta bao dinner back from Hock Kee.

Office was looking for me, so I talked to my trainer over coffee and butter fish.
Apparently they over heard my conversation with Effa.  I told her a bit of my story at my previous job.  They mistaken me for being unhappy with EIG lolxx...  My bad for being big mouth, I really have to zip up in the office.

I used to love taking the train but now I find the awaiting a bit annoying especially during coming in.

I brought dinner back to Oakwood for the helper and myself.
After dinner I saw this handwritten note on the box.  How many notes are written?  Does people read it the way I do?

Bathe my father, had simple homecooked lunch prepared by helper.
After lunch I had to head back home.  Not much time left to do my own things already.
I used to love being alone, but I felt so lonely.

It's hard not to spend working in NorthPoint.
I dare not stand on the weighing scale.

30/03/2026

I cried my way to work, holding on to memories.
Then tears stopped when I alight.  I had work.

Spend money on dinner.

I was craving for Bibimbap but didn't know they put tuna flakes, I really didn't like it.  Of all meat be it chicken pork of beef, tuna flakes, I hate tuna flakes.
I took Mingo ice-cream on the way out.  The staffs knew I am a worker here.

It's almost the last day of buy 2 get 1 free.
Finishing my Ritual shower oil soon, I bought 3 bottles of essential shower gel for $78.  Good deal.

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

31/03/2026

Why never inform sia, or because I didn't read the email??
Anyway the glass decal was done with 15mins and I took pics, reported to the manager.

I bought brunch.

Then I had chap chye peng for dinner.  The supervisor let me do $30 pantry shopping (small perk given by company).
I bought Peel Fresh (they like I don't like), Hokkaido milk (in glass bottle, bought 2 to try), cup noodles and these crackers.  The crackers are so good, yummy.

It's difficult to find time to blog, but I don't want to give up my diary.  During off days I catch up with some housework (although it's beyond my ability to clean up properly) and my own ironing.  I try to rest my old bones, I am really strained physically, all thanks to the man whom decided to draw clear financial lines with me.

But that said, he had forced to me a plight where I see money and freedom rolling in.  I should be able to fly anywhere to see BigBang.
