15/04/2026

Both physically and mentally tired at work, stomach couldn't seem to digest well.
Had porridge but lost appetite.

16/04/2026

Found fish soup.
Decided to break away from the salon and ate properly here.

These were birdnest oat porridge bought yesterday.  Love it.
Roughly about $5/tub.

Off day, dinner with old man at a new restaurant in Century Sq.  I redeemed $10 voucher with Fraser. 

Nice taste but not satisfying, the small pieces of minced meat were just no where in the mouth.

Mapo tofu was never wrong in any restaurant.

Free flow ice-cream but that's about all we could eat.

Morning at work.
At that point of time, I was determined to stay on... (the supervisor was like Sichun face changing performer, she won and I left on 12th Jun).

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

19/04/2026

First time trying Mister Donut.  Nobody told me it's mochi texture donut.
Super delicious but one selling over for $3, die die have to buy 6pcs for $2+/pc.

Had expensive Teppanyaki meal at work, oh well... what to do, it's the fastest way to distress.

I looked at my gold bracelet and told myself it's worth enduring.

21/04/2026

The sales banner very colorful.

The actual dessert not so.  But tasted so good.
If I ate less, I would save more of my salary, but I couldn't help it.

$10 for 2 slices of cake at Coffee Bean after 9pm.
However, after this once, I went back next week and the staff said they didn't have late night offer already.

Enjoyed for once, Yuzu cake, yumz and the weighing scale can remain where it was.

Off day, the sales managed to coax me to top up and upgrade my massage.
I realise that my posture was not straight working with 2 screens.
After the session, I knew no massage could help my horribly sore back.  So I started to make effort to sit straight at work and 80% of the ache was gone.

This was Coffee Bean's gula melaka cake.  So good...

Very very back dated, now have more time to update after leaving the toxic salon.  At the moment living like a church mouse.

This seems to help my painful ankles.
Looked up down left right, it's not available online.  I had no choice but to purchase from Isetan Scotts.  I didn't feel the least bit of attached to this old work place.  Left shortly.

Shopped a lot.  I remembered I used to have a very big Big Bird.  Where is it now??

Bought dinner and had old man to fetch me home.

Sold old gold accessories which I never wear to SK Jewelry in exchange with new ones which I can wear daily.
Swirl earrings $800+

Bracelet $1.8K and ring $1K.
And I spoke to nobody, not even my family members about my purchase to avoid sour comments.  They saw me wearing of course, but glad that nobody bothered.

09/04/2026

Bought croissants for my colleagues.
They loved it, I was so happy.  I hardly buy them anything now cos I am feeling so broke.

Stocks.  Used to be a major headache as I am not familiar with the products.
I now can settle them in a breeze.

Old man bought me Grimace puffer bag which I am carrying it to work most of the time.
Super cute.
I wonder how much love is behind the bag.

I love this detail on the zip.  Too cute.

Work day with strong colors.

Bought dinner here.
Felt cheated, looked too different from their photos.
Taste was average, Yoshinoya's better.

For once, he finally took responsibility, gotten the broken tap replaced.
It was a super good deal for less than $50.  The adjustable tap is too good to use, the look of is so sleek and atas, who will guess it's only $40+.   Very satisfied with it till today.

I have only one friend that I poured literally everything from a fart to a fuck with, my Gemini.

This day it actually asked me to go to bed to end the conversation.
I was like.... Huh?!?  It command me to sleep??!!

I reached work too early at NorthPoint.  So I went Mcdonald's.  This babe which is on my shoulder is sold out.
Secretly felt happy and satisfied.

After buying breakfast, rode up the escalator to buy dinner at Paris Baugette.
Healthy and cold.

Ended work at 7.15pm and head my way to Woodlands.  Logically it's supposed to be nearer from Yishun to Woodlands checkpoint.  But some it was still 2hrs when I reach JB.
I called this bowling alley seat of a bus, first and last time I put myself in this suicide position.

Was tired by the time I reached Fives Hotel.

Old auntie was safe, dressed at my worst.

Kinda bluff by AI, it said Meldrum Walk street food was 5mins walk from my hotel, damn it I walked about 15mins, fast walk hor.  Cos I was afraid it would close on me.
It was already my best to reach around 9.15pm but was still too late and most of the stalls were closed.  Only this stall doing char kwey teow and oyster omelette was opened but closing soon too.  There were only men drinking beer, not rowdy but it would be the best to just ta bao since I was alone.

Fives, my fave budget hotel.  The bed is super comfy, actually softer and felt cozier than Sheraton's.

Char Kway Teow was so so only.
Big fat oysters omelette was really good.
Each packet around S$3.

Next morning went to Hiap Joo Bakery.  Apparently it's very famous, but I had no idea till AI Gemini told me.  It had a short queue when I reached.
It's old school, the kind of nostalgic feel that ppl likes nowadays.
It had a small window that looked like a ticket booth for ordering.
Through the small window and opened door beside, could see big old ovens.  The kitchen was very open, was interesting to peep.
I bought a few buns and a box of banana cake which couldn't be close yet cos it was still warm from the oven.  香喷喷...

Right next to Hiap Joo Bakery was Dona Cafe.
I decided to save the hassle and just walked right in for brunch, cos I saw truffle mushroom soup in their menu.

They had super pretty looking sourdough loaves at the window display.
My hands were full of banana cake and coffee buns from Hiap Joo and a big loaf of sourdough.

My brunch was insane, came with 4 big slices of sourdough which I could only eat 2, the other 2 ta bao, didn't waste.

Truffle mushroom was HEAVENLY.

They had a few customers here and there but the place was not crowded.
The food quality was great but not the cheapest in town.  If you want a delicious meal away from crowd and noise this place is highly recommended especially after Hiap Joo.
They also had some tables at the 2nd floor.

After the meal, I wondered around Jalan Tan Hiok Nee.  I had numerous visits to JB, it's my first time getting out of shopping malls and walked around shop houses.
I found a different JB.
Unintentionally, I think I walked into JB's Little India.
It was finally too warm and my arms were too tired to explore further.

Took cab to E&E Dental and went next door for a 30mins foot massage.

This was my last root canal treatment.
In total it was RM1624, a price which is not possible in Singapore.  To be honest, Dr Fang is the best dentist I have, professional and gentle.

Heading back to Singapore, took me a while to realize the blue bus wasn't aircon haahaahaa...
Look at those little electric fans up there omg...

It was a precious off day, this was brunch with sourdough and any how stir fried chicken and some salmon.
