Forever (work) alone....

 Date: 24/10/2021 (Sun)

Thai steam seabass again.  The big fish was only $5, it's as good as those little Thai restaurants, priced at least $18.

Shameless self praise, it was so delicious, I am so proud of myself.....

I had more or less finished the makeover of the bedroom, now I am starting with the master bathroom.

I am the only one deeply affected by the mouldy corners.  I had wanted to renovate it but the work will affect the entire master bedroom, along with it the living room also.  The kitchen renovation a few years back was such a nightmare, I didn't want to go through it again thus I had to endure the eye sore.  Either way, it was painful to me.

I had even bought mould removing gel but some were too stubborn, there were too much areas too cover and it's not cost effective.

 And then one day, I was watching a korean housewife in Youtube, scrapping of mouldy silicon in her bathroom and re-silicon herself!  WOW!!!  If I had know this can be done, I would had done it a few years back!!!

Nobody at home bothers, so I am the only one battling in this project, as always.  It's not completed yet, but every time I shit in the toilet, I will look at the new silicon and smile to myself, I will just grin and grin at the newly applied white silicon as if they are diamonds, it's so so so so SATISFYING.

Will share the pics in time to come.

A non-productive day with ta bao dinner.  This was sooooooo delicious.

Tired and laptop batt flat, will update again tomorrow.

Halloween food came early

Raining season is here, how nice if it's snow instead.

I took out 2 drums sticks bought 2 weeks ago, marinated one and air fried for Luis.  Had a mini shock that I run out of 5 spice powder but the chicken was still good.

Also took out vegan fish, it's so cute looking, it went in the air fryer as well.

PapaVoo and I had the vegan fish, rather bland ginseng chicken soup and cabbage rice.

Went Oakwood to meet up with a cousin which I hadn't seen for the longest time.  She had another new marriage which I think it saved her.  She's so much more cheerful now.

I waited for PapaVoo to fetch me and we went IKEA to grab this.  I told him I needed to catch the offer within the limited period of time.  Actually times like this, the merchants are still trying to create cluster.  With that said, we were in and out of the store in less than 20mins.

The ice-cream machine wasn't cold enough during media launch, now it's great.

Back home, this was my temporary bedside table made of 2 boxes on top of each other.  Finally I could kick them off.

The trolley fitted in nicely into the narrow space.

The top shelf I have my mini diffuser, aircon remote, medical oil and my beloved Pikachu light.

Middle shelf for water bottle, fabric freshener and also body cream, talcum powder, and another remote for the electric fan.

The last shelf is for my little silver slate (laptop).

I am thinking of whether or not to buy a breakfast tray so that I can play with the slate in bed.

Mid night supper, milo with granola, still fat I know urrrgggg......

After supper Pikachu and I were smiling at each other, too pleased with the new trolley.

Angliss delivery came.  I ordered Halloween themed food early and just eat as and when we feel like it.

Cute and surprising delicious, normally overly cute food are quite bad, but these were yum yum yum...

The bread also not bad....

I kept the jars after eating the chocolate mousses.

Dinner I fried bee hoon, forgotten what I cooked for the kids.

Things not looking good for 2022...

 Date: 18/10/2021 (Mon)

Little Ber came, so I cooked, almost everything from Angliss.

We had seafood in a bag and I had added in Jonah crab claws, basically this was eaten by 3 of us as Darren and Luis don't eat seafood.  Till today I am still wondering what went wrong with my upbringing of the boys when both PapaVoo and I loves seafood.

We had penne with IKEA balls, fried chicken and I cleared off the last bit of curly fries.

Brunch was nice, with perfect soft boil eggs + garlic bread toast + coffee.

I lost confidence, we are leading to nowhere....

Tempted to flee to Japan but I can't leave my family alone here.  Then again the most I can stay is only  a month.  2022 will be another year rotting at home.....

I let the kids had more Cystal Jade's spicy mala chicken while I ate the black fungus.  Made some dumplings to go with noodles, fridge no green, but made do.

When the drama I binged featured my house's accessories, heehee...

 Date: 16/10/2021 (Sat)

You wouldn't believe that I crawled out of bed only around 3pm.  I had been binged watching drama again.  I had a tray of coffee, kaya toast and mini swiss rolls.

After hunger was appeased, went back to bed to continue 你是我的荣耀。

热巴 slept with a bear.

I took mine to squeeze onto my single sized bed with me, it's so nice to snuggle with it.

Next scene my pink ribbon cushion was on screen too.  It's normally on the sofa though sometimes I bring it onto the bed to rest my head.

I would be a useless bitch if I didn't cook dinner.   Bought ayam panggang again, but this time there wasn't excess curry paste.

So I did sambal fried rice, it was still good.  That small serving of achar wasn't enough of course.

The beauty of this dinner was that no washing of plates.

Continued to bing, my bear, the exact same bear appeared on screen, wooooooooooot!

Also watched a bit of Youtube.  This was Japan's IKEA, their tray collection.

Food was different too.  When can we go to Japan, when?  When?  WHEN?!?!?  Urrrrgggg....

I didn't make it alive awake before 3pm.  Needed to drink chicken essence to wake up my soul, else I would be in a daze throughout the day.

I forever couldn't find which side to open this little silver slate, so I put a sticker at the side where I should open it, while the old laptop would be RIP under my bed although I didn't transfer all the photos over.  Maybe I should saved important family photos into a drive or something in case the laptop died under my bed....

Here's pano photo of my room.  It's 95% done, what's pending were some walls behind the door and above the wardrobe was not done; I hadn't got a bedside trolley/table yet.  I am still thinking whether to get a headboard cushion.

Basically, half the wall is in cement design, the other half in grey.  The blackout curtain is navy blue, I have dark grey in the master bedroom which I will change over next year.  All these are good backdrops for Luis's photo taking.  The white dream catcher gives the room a little touch of fun.

 At the left most corner you can see part of our wardrobe. Luis's wardrobe is 80% occupied while mine was maxed out, I was just not ready to throw out more.  

Luis is using Nezuko's house as his bedside table, and a big Domo to sleep with.  The big bear is on my bed now but normally it sits on the white containers at the end of my bed.  One container keeps bedsheets and other bottom one keeps books and some Luis's stuffs which we don't use but still can't part with.   I think I want to buy another set of bedsheets, will wait closer to year end.

There's a lot of space, waiting for Covid to be over and the kids can come over to play again.

I cooked for myself late dinner from the leftovers in the chiller, the boys ta bao and settled themselves.

I made porridge from leftover rice and tau pok stir fried with vegan chicken in oyster sauce.  Everything is nice with oyster sauce de.

Darren's friend send us supper lolxx....  I would deal with my weight, after this, next time, lolxx.....

Stayed at home, cook and eat

Brunch, I made pasta meat balls for the kids.

I kept last night's curry and it was so good with prata, ya, prata again, so I had a bit of prata and a bit of pasta, that rhymes, heehee...

If I still didn't clean the vacuum, it's going burst.  The gross accumulated over more than a week or 2 I couldn't remember.  Where did all the dust come from?

Dinner made easy with another pre-cook package.

I also pulled out this vegan chicken and put it in the air fryer as a side dish.

It was weirdly yummy, spicy broth with salted veg and juicy beef shabu, this was crazy.

The roll of plain grey wall paper came with a slight tone difference, but what to do..... I just wanted to get done with it now.

Achar from SHC was crazy yummy.  I should had keep the vinegar and put more veg to soak.

Ta bao dinner and we had some achar.

Had a bit of mini swiss rolls for supper, I didn't put on weight, but I didn't lose also recently.
