Apr - adjusting ourselves in Singapore

 12/04/2024

PapaVoo came to fetch us, we had dinner at Jewel's DianXiaoEr.  Missed chinese food a lot lolxx...
Walked pass Skechers and saw Demon Slayer slippers, didn't see them in Japan.

Despite of the long trip, we came back with very little laundry.  We felt uncomfortably warm, we had to adjust our body back to local weather, torture.

Post-Japan syndrome was really bad, luckily we had some "medicine".
Banana base for milk tasted like magic, braised eggs were norm though, but they were from Japan.

Had coffee bought in Tokyo and short breads bought in Hakone.

These were probably the biggest grapes I ever eaten in my life.  Bought by PapaVoo, super sweet too.

Any how soba for myself with "going to spoil" minced pork.

More goodies from Japan, egg pudding bought from Kusatsu.

Donki at Tampines One.  Memories started to flood in again, I missed Japan so much...
Everything is just different here.  Japan's Donki were very messy, here's neater but I preferred all the weird and interesting items there.

Had dinner at 4Fingers.
Love the tofu salad.

Bought the balls thinking they were mochi.  They turned out to be biscuits with sugar inside, so it was really good with coffee.

Cooked ramen for dinner.  These were more than double the price in Singapore.

Took out my Nizuko chopsticks...

Done!  Yummy sia, no wonder so expensive.  I wonder how's the taste like in the restaurant itself.

My butt loved soft diet.

Pork rack from Angliss not too good.

25/04/2023


Big pizza for brunch.

PapaVoo bought from Wang Lei, as long as he was in mood, I would let him buy whatever he wanted.  Nowadays he didn't watch so much Live liao.

Braised pork rice for dinner.

I brought duckie bag out for once only, then it's stashed away, cos it was too small to put anything else other than a phone and wallet.

Dinner at Soup Restaurant cos we had voucher when we ordered CNY eve meal.
Forgotten was it Darren or Luis ordered oatmeal chicken, not nice.

Steam chicken was forever the best.

Paper bowls finishing...

28/04/2023

Garlic bun from Angliss, choloate mochi tart bought at Haneda Airport.
Life was good with about 2600 photos waiting for me to edit lolxx...  I made a count, I take about 100 photos each day on average.  Sometimes around 80 if it was a shopping day, those with scenery I can hit up to 150 photos.

Dinner had stir fried udon from Wok Hey.

Long dogs = long queue, gave it a miss.
It's horrible on a Sunday, forgotten why I was here.

Old man and I went to coffee shop near IKEA for comfort dinner, no point joining the massive crowd in IKEA Cafe.

April dashed by, I was pretty much stuck at home and the intention of going back to work was always behind me.

Day 23 in Japan - Kusatsu back to Tokyo

09/04/2023
Kusatsu back to Tokyo

Click here for full blog and more pics of Kusatsu:

The next day, we went back to Asakusa for photo shot.  We were very happy with the results, can't wait to show off the photos!

While you are reading this, I had bought air tickets to Thailand leaving in a week's time heehee....

This time excitement was accompanied with a lot of worries cos I bought from Airasia (cos have to fly back with my little sis and niece who joined us at the second part of our tour).  To make the already bad worst, I unknowingly bought from a third party online agent, cos the offical website auto re-direct to this agent.  I can only cross my fingers and wish that nothing screws up, if suay suay the flight overbooked, Darren (my elder son) and I will be the first to get bumped out, I will have nobody to blame except for myself for flying with budget airline.  But if everything is smooth, it will be the best bargain ever cos the air tix was soooooooooo cheap.

Will share more in time to come.

I just recovered from a very bad stomach, so I am now trying to "give birth" to more posts, at least to finish all posts for Japan.

Thanks for staying with me.
