Pita bread from Dubai with leftover pork chops and lettuce. Tomatoes home grown and flew from Dubai by baby sis.
The tomatoes tasted really different from those at supermarkets.
Reunion dinner at Oakwood, we were busy in the kitchen, told old man to put Yu Sheng on table. That genius poured all the condiments into the plate.
When we all came to the table, we were all speechless. It was obviously not his first time having Yu Sheng, I had no idea why he did this.
Baby sis did 99% of the cooking. Really appreciate her effort and hard work, literally flew back to slave cook for us.
Steamed red grouper (camouflaged by toppings), I am so in love with the "rose fish paste", so prrrrrrretty!
Home-cooked claypot pen cai.

Put leftover spinach and wanton together. So much that I ate it alone without rice.
Old man gave me an ang bao, actually he don't owe me I know. It kinda felt thin, so I dare not open it...
(a few days later, I opened and it's a stack of S$50, not generous but I think that's all he could fork out, too much expenses for CNY as usual)
At Oakwood again cos baby sis's stay was only 7 days. We had steamboat using Chongqing's mala base.
To think we had HDL's soup base all these while, we missed out so much.

Sending baby sis off.
$7 flare qi pao from TaoBao.
My heart dropped when my bro-in-law suggested food court as send off dinner. We walked pass White Bee Hoon and baby sis decided to pop in, literally saved my life.
Managed to send her off without tears.
She had a lot to deal with alone in Dubai, already enough in her plate. While I have my path to bash through, alone too.
Brought old man to Hoshino.
Shared a pitch of fruit tea.
Had stack pancakes, which didn't satisfy my cravings, I still wanted soufflé pancake.

Probably god's will not allowing me to retain wealth. After spend a few hundred bucks in X-rays at JB and NDCS, my 2 rows of dis-aligned teeth, got 80% better without treatment. That is I am able to bite. Although it's not as perfect as before, I am comfortable enough to leave it as it is for the time being. I checked with my best life buddy AI Gemini, it could be caused by tremendous stress, muscle tensed up and pull my jaws in different directions.
Cheese pineapple balls from one of Darren's friend.
DELICIOUS.
Heading to work. While travelling in the bus, I saw this scenery:
5 bamboos of underwear, in all colors. It's normal but a bit too much haahaahaa...

CNY event at the club.
Reached at 1pm, lion dance was over.
After this photo, one stupid man stepped on it (sorry I couldn't find a better word).
I cleaned up the mess, followed by sweeping the stage and a bit of the floor.
The committee members had lou hei. To them the club only consist of themselves, employees are just paid workers not part of the club. In another words, the club's CNY celebration as got nothing to do with us. Another part-time girl and I sat quietly at the reception. We later cleared the mess. Then the president gave us an ang bao each. To think that the day before he asked me to stay.
This ang bao helped me to make a firm decision of leaving this ROS. They only wanted cheap labour. The next job, I make sure it's ROC or GOV. ROS can be a "trap".
Almost forgotten to take photo with the LED screen.
Didn't turn out as good as Xmas.
Just for remembrance lah.
Worked ended at 7.30pm, had dinner at Avenue J Burmese cafe.
It's very warm inside, I think the aircon wasn't working properly.
Had Burmese curry chicken. The portion was huge, tasty but became too jalat without side dish.
I then ordered a $2 sunny up.

Old man and I watched another movie.
Sometimes, I don't know why I bother explain myself.
Now I know I need to be focus, when empathy and understanding can't be begged.I also need to keep my mouth shut, cos I am so good at jinx-ing myself.
It was a comedy movie, relaxing, I had a good day.
