2nd half of May - settling down in reality

 16/05/2023

Send Luis in Pulau Tekong.
Waiting to board the ferry.
Ferry terminal to Pulau Tekong which is accessible for NS men only.  It's an opportunity for us to visit for this once only.
It's a rainy day.
So here we were.
Took many photos of this camp on an island.

We get to see a showroom of his bunk.
The bus drove us from point to point to see different exhibits.
Pledge ceremony.
Had lunch with precious boy at the canteen.
Then was time to say goodbye.
Seaview was surprisingly nice here.

That kid also left a mess for me.

Matcha with cinnamon rolls from IKEA.

Purposely went to eat nasi padang at Jewel's food court.
 
This was from the same stall where some peasant ate and complained to the media.
She should just cook her own meals.

Bought $2 slim water bottle from Muji.

Waited for my sis to drive the helper over.  Helper going home, so while my sis had to rush back for some matter, I watched over her to make sure she checked in and send her into the departure hall.
We had melon from Donki while sitting at the Rain Vortex.

After sending helper off, saw a fleet of Emirates crew, memories of flights with them came back, especially their A380 business class.

Love these shoes so much but always worried to dirty it.
My piles got bad and it was a real pain in the ass.  I still went ahead and the pain got worst.  I turned really green and the cinema manager came with warm water and asked if I want to cancel the tix and would do a refund for me.  I was really touched, thanked him and said I would be fine.

Shaw Balestier was more spacious and prettier than Shaw Jewel.

I slowly got better after sitting down.  Enjoyed the movie too.
