12/07/2026

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 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.

19/07/2026

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.

3/7/2026

July was endless work with 西北风.  The toughest part is not the work but the commute.

Morning at bus stop, having a quick bite.  Even a bird wanted to steal from me.

 2hrs training... 4hrs commute, so I was out the whole but nothing much was achieved.

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

04/07/2026

Seminar at Copthorne Hotel.

They shared Nirvana's corporate ladder.
At that point of time I wasn't even a SA.  So instead of feeling motivated, I felt these got nothing to do with me.  It's a like bird kept telling me how good it was to fly, but I didn't have wings to begin with.

I was told there would be refreshment so I came empty stomach, then didn't have enough.  Apparently they short order, whatever.   I head to Chinatown.

Invited old man, he didn't want to, I went ahead alone.

Huge garlic prawns on vermicelli.
One dish was boring, but couldn't order others, portion too huge.

Free with a 小红书 review.

Not fantastic, but at least got another dish to nibble.

I ordered a plain porridge.

Ate till burst.

They had free dessert, so I took a bit.

There was an urn migration from Mandai, came to view the proccess and procedure.

Then I had a quick walk in Nirvana, the photos don't do the place justice.
.
.
.
.
Royal Suite looked amazing with security locks at each column, later I found out each column stores 4 urns.

Then old man came to pick me up since he was at Chinese Garden.  While he was at the carpark, he saw Winnie, then he talked rubbish to ppl haiz...

We went Jurong Point for a quick lunch.

Always happy to see our resident cat.

After a couple of hours of rest at home, family outing to MBS.

Kumar's Talk Show using Culture Pass.  We topped up a little, all good.

Had dinner at Suntec, everywhere was crowded, we settled for Sanook Kitchen with available table.
All decent, for once I didn't take any photo of the food.

We bought dessert to eat otw home.

A friend invited me to media tasting at Vivo City.

Truffle cheese dip.

So good... they didn't really need media boosting.

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

08/07/2026

Seminar at Centre 42 (somewhere near Bencoleen)
I thought the building was very cute.
I love her seminars, very inspiring.

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

09/07/2026

出门出到怕.

BurgerKing's, not nice.
I ate half for breakfast another half for lunch.

Watching and trying to absorb the proccess and procedure of 安灵.
Totally delicious looking, but these were for the deceased.

The long commute and cost incurred was stressing me out.  This shouldn't be another pit, I hope.

I actually give myself up to end of 2026... if I can't sustain, I will have to find another way out...

Brunch.

My look was deteriorating

I agreed to come before I looked at the venue, it was Bukit Batok, too late to back out.

Swatow chinese restaurant at Bukit Batok.

Desmond Lim was very convincing.

Food was ok, I low-key not comfortable sharing a table with strangers.

I ate the fish head till my heart's contend.

It ended around 9pm and I had to take a cab back.  Cos if I took public transport, I could miss the last bus home.

First visit to 天灵总道堂 at Kembangan.
This was supposed to be my "playground" since Nirvana was literally Journey to the West for me.
The place is managed by Nirvana, so they had the same luxurious fittings.

What's most impressive was their ancestors pedestals.
The traditional display was always in stairs.  Over here it's on a full wall totally unblocked.

The early buys gotten 24k gold decors.

Gold pineapples!

I hope one day, I will close some deals here.

Lepak area.

Origin of pedestals.

Photoshoot at columbarium haahaahaa... never in my wildest dream.
I could decide with I like better apple or pineapple.

After the temple, back to Tampines, bought a Zoa t-shirt.
Too cute.

Ta bao Chongqing noodles for the kids.

My arms broke, so heavy...

My kids didn't like their beef noodles, mine was ok but not as good as I wished.

I was out so much that my house turned into a rubbish dump, looking a the mess day in day out, totally helpless, I didn't how to feel any more...
