Despite of arriving before 9am, my baby sis and I were being "rejected" again by T & T Medical Group.
So we were back at Acoustics Coffee Bar for brunch.
Not sure why they called this pandan tiramisu. It's bread fingers which we later soaked with expresso and pandan cream.
We took a bus to Chinatown to have a S$25 foot massage before going to Bugis to meet a friend.
We found a place to drink and chat a little before dinner.
This friend was my baby sis's classmate, we knew each other for like 30 over years, she's now about 46 years old, a very capable single lady. She just found out that.....
.
.
.
She was adopted.
I told her I understand how she felt. She asked "You really do?". I told her she was being kept from by her 7 brothers (+ 7 sis-in-laws) and the entire neighborhood kampong. That feel sia... I cried with her, then we laughed and smile. And cried again...

| Carrot cake (really a lot of carrot chunks). We drowned all bitterness of life in hotpot, yay. My friend's story was like drama. She is grateful for her foster parents and have no intention look for the biological who abandon her. |

At T2, sending off my sisters who were going to Siem Reap for some volunteer work.
We had light meal at this Cafe O, their nasi lemak looked so good but we had no stomach space.
Chee chiong fun.
They called this plaster prata.
Changi airport was having Hello Kitty and Sanrio all over, not a crazy fan of them but still looked very cute.
I love Changi Airport.
After sending them into the departure gate, I roamed the entire T123 lolxx...
Sibei swee toilet.

Woke up around 11am and saw PapaVoo's msg: half day leave. I said let's go JB, he said ok!
So I grabbed his passport and met him in Woodlands.
Kinda lucky, imagine he knocked off at 1pm, we met up in Woodlands at 1.30pm, by 2pm we were inside JB liao lolxx...
Went City Sq for a quick meal fix, Oriental Cafe had a snake queue, so we went Hock Kee at the upper floor.
I find them both similar, Hock Kee had a much shorter queue.
PapaVoo had dried mee siam.
I had coffee + egg + toast.
Only realised there were little fish biscuits after drinking half of the coffee.
Childhood snack looked so cute now.
We went to this facial at Pelangi called Unico.
They had this little device that detects skin condition - hydration, collagen level etc.
Spend about S$88/pax for cleansing and hydration treatment with machine.
Instant result but they were a bit pushy. Bought "buy 2 get 1 free" bubble cleanser from them.
Then went next door for S$20 1hr foot massage.
Snooze ambience they had.
Went Lavender Cafe which was a few shops away, almost everything was sold out.
It was getting late and we had to get back to City Sq/Komtar area nearer to the check-point.
We had late dinner around 8pm at this 半天妖 grilled fish next to HDL.
We shouldn't had ordered fried-rice as they had free flow Japanese rice at buffet counter. It was good anyway.
Fish so huge, good enough for 4 pax.
They called this butterfly noodles and they were Q and soft at the same time, amazing texture that bounced in mouth. MUST ORDER!.
Total bill was only S$37. Highly recommended.
We walked pass City Sq at 10pm and it was closing. Xmas decors were so nice but we didn't have time to really look at them.

Had to go Eu Yan Sang to get my high blood pills and claimed my 30% birthday voucher. Bought lunch and coffee back, carried until my arms broke lolxx...
My brunch.
PapaVoo kept bringing things home, I didn't know to laugh or cry. I am running out of space to keep things, but some things are just to pretty not to keep.

PapaVoo was my chauffeur, went Oakwood to bath my father.
Then to Decathlon to get walking sticks.

Saw MAMA awards from social media, saw G-Dragon.
My love for him is more than Jay Chou now. He is so good on stage, comparable to Michael Jackson.
PapaVoo brought more things home... omg...

Into JB again by myself. It was a breeze even without train tix. I was running late for dental appointment, so anyhow grabbed a bite in the check-point.
Had my teeth polished and a hole filled at E&E Dental located at Pelangi.
After dental was a mad rush back to City Square.
This round I had time to take photos.
Got Ta-Daa but decided not to spend money.
Went to the top floor to get my nails done. After which I was hungry liao.
Early dinner at Ho Seng Kee.
Had a quiet meal.
Then was a mad rush to buy some medicine, swiss roll and all the nick nots that were cheaper than Singapore.
Made arrangement to spend a night at Oakwood though the cat didn't seem quite approve it.

Left Oakwood after bathing father.
Baby sis flew back from Siem Reap, we had dinner at Jewel.
Old man complained so much at Kantin's price lolxx...
$10 ice coffee.
Smoked duck pasta.
Bamboo chicken set.
We walked up and down Jewel, was difficult to find a place that opens after 10pm.
Ended up in Starbucks with Xmas drinks on high stools which weren't the most comfortable.

Had to wash some winter wear before packing them into the luggage, I hate it.
Laundry can crush me, but it's much better ever since we have a dryer.
Baby sis came over to Tampines, we brought her to this zhi char that sells savory bean curd and then.... it's sold out. We couldn't believe it. Signature dish sold out??!!??
We ordered other dishes, only took photo of the prawn rolls and fish soup.
Flew off on 28 Dec to Hanoi. Will update soon.
