Social distance breaking up celebrations

 Date: 06/12/2020 (Sun)


Midnite massage after an emo night at airport.

Woke up close to noon as usual, ate left over beef wellington, it still taste good.

I was enjoying my food and the old man could suddenly say he hungry, very irritating.
I made him chicken rice from leftover black pepper chicken.  Thus successfully cleared all leftovers.

Thanks social distancing for breaking up celebrations into pieces.  Little Ber could only come this day.  She bought me a box of brownie.


I was too tired to cook and went for an impromptu movie "Number 1" at PLQ.
Cute little Ber and me, ppl would believe that we are mother and daughter.

It's a Sunday, so everywhere was very crowded, PapaVoo proudly leaded us to this restaurant with a table.

The ramen was average.

PapaVoo had gyudon, nice beef but over cooked onsen egg.

Wasabi dumplings were yummy.
The bill for 4 of us was close to $100.  PapaVoo kow bei.  Eat at home also kow bei, eat outside also kwo bei lolxx.... eat air lah hor, eat air.

We watched the movie after dinner.  Enjoyed it very much.
Singaporeans are so educated but yet extremely conservative and in many aspects lack of understanding.  Anything which they can't understand, they don't bother to find out, just strongly repel or disagree.  Drag Queens doesn't mean the male is ah gua, most of them are straight, it's different from Lady boys in Thailand.  As long as you are not doing illegal trade, animal killings or selling sex, I don't see what's the prob with cross dressing seriously.

11pm liao, have to stop here for now.  Probably not going to hospital tomorrow, may be can blog a little bit then.

The most memorable birthday for me

 

It's difficult to update now cos when you are reading this, my father landed in the hospital (again).  Not too bad considering the previous time was in Jan, we had almost a year of peace.  We have no idea how long the stay is going to be, can be a few days, a few weeks or a few months.

Now my routine is wake up close to noon, make brunch, do housework then go to the hospital for the 5pm visiting slot, back home, bath, do ironing if possible, if not lie on bed play hand phone and repeat for the next day.  Or, wake up, go for the 12pm visiting slot, come back by 4pm, clear fridge or ta bao for dinner.

I'll try to turn on the laptop to update at night, so back dated now....

宝宝 bought this for me as birthday present, heehee... that little girl's 心意。

PapaVoo like a courier between home and Oakwood.  My kid sis's church friend made me a cheese cake and it's so yummy.

It's raining and the 二十四孝 drove our son to work.  It was my first time dropping Darren at the headquarters, I screamed "bye bye" to him and he twitched his face lolxx...

Went SingPost Center in hope to get some things from Daiso.  Only managed to get one more table cloth, the bling decor no where seen.  Had claypot chicken rice, yummy but chicken pieces limited.
It's a weird timing at 4pm.

The older he gets, the more  reckless and clumsy he becomes.  But he gotten the sprain for helping my sis with her luggage lah.... sayang my old man.

Supper at 10pm, else my tummy would roared until I couldn't sleep.

Xmas lunch prepared specially for my baby sis, this time we make sure that she must fly off lolxx...

Luckily went Cold Storage earlier, they took forever to bring out my items.  Then they put everything into a cheapskate plastic bag, haiz.... whatever....

It's difficult to gauge the timing, cook too early I scared food would get cold by the time reach, too late then everybody's waiting.  I decided to start at 4pm, done by 5pm plus.


They came before 5pm, I was so happy, cos could spend more time together.  I got them started with DIY gingerbread house.


I wasn't able to join in could only peep here and there.  They had great fun which was all I asked for.  My food were served and they were still busy lolxx...

It's for the fun of it, I gave them the whole house, not sure how much they could finish eating.  They didn't fix on the chimney, so I ate the few piece and it's quite nice.



The first that came out of the air fryer were these salmon cheese croquette (from Angliss).

Beef wellington was tacky, the outer were cooked, inner was raw.

The black pepper roast chicken and iberico ribs warmed up in the oven quite quickly.

Pre-cut mixed veg packet from NTUC saved a lot of time.  I stir fried it with garlic butter, black pepper and rosemary herbs.

I took out the opera cake (from Angliss) and decor it as a Xmas cake.  My family members die die, weirdly wanted it to double as my birthday cake.  My birthday was on the 4th, over yesterday, so I kept brushing it off but they insisted.  So I found a candle and put it on and let them sing Happy Birthday until they happy lah.
Then hor, something happened and I was too stunned to react.

I only shared this video here, cos no more than 30ppl will see, heehee.....
I was laughing and crying at the same time, they took photos of me and also a family photo with my face distorted with extreme happiness.

This was almost half of Darren's monthly allowance and he gave it to me
T___T
I don't know what to say, suddenly all the shit I had gone through was worth it.
It's still in my wardrobe, will pluck them out one by one if I run out of cash.

After dinner, we send our baby sis off with a lot of tears.
I was worried for her safety, don't know when she can come back next time.

Birthday celeb at Sentosa and VivoCity

 Date: 03/12/2020 (Thurs)


So difficult to get this post done cos the photos didn't save in sequence in my computer, haiz...
Anyway, my sisters jio me out to celebrate my birthday.

VivoCity is lovely, Covid is clearing.  Only F&B and cinemas are hurting with restrictions, anywhere else, nobody gives a damn to social distancing.

Pokemon store says Merry Xmas, so cute de...

My sisters arrived earlier forgetting to inform me, they were all done with lunch.  I quickly get done with mine.


Baby sis made use of her tourist voucher as much as possible before leaving Singapore.  Here we were at Sentosa.


Beyond recognition with face mask and eye mask lolxx...  Had to wear the eye mask so that the 3D goggles doesn't contact our skin directly.

The place is not big, could easily see from one end to the other.  We had 6 rides altogether, screaming and laughing lolxx....



There's no place to sit and rest, we were all tired, thirsty and giddy after 2hours.

Everything was slightly more expensive here.  We went back to VivoCity after grabbing a drink.

We managed to enjoy sunset.....


...... and rainbow.

HDL was full, Beauty Pot was full, some korean BBQ was full, we made do at this pork pork jap restaurant cos got table.

Purposely ordered pork jowl, so that I know what I can do other than char siew.  I think I can do something like this with jap shoyu and sake marinate.

Yummy grilled giant sotong.

Went in Pokemon store for a while with Karsten.  I wanted to buy everything, but never dare to buy a single thing, every time....

After my sisters left, I was on my way to the taxi stand, walked pass NTUC.  I was tired, but I think I might as well try to get what I needed so that I don't have to go out the next day.
It's huge with a little cafe inside.  Gotten some veg needed for the party.

Slit throat cab fare, so I waited for it to drop for about an hour, when it finally did, no cab.  I couldn't take the train cos I had lots of things to carry.  My baby sis gotten one for me, weird.  Maybe they give priority to Gold members??
Back home, sibei tired, but I was dying to see the effect of the lightings.

Looked good enough on the tree.

This was the Xmas gift my baby sis gave our family.
The longer she stay in Singapore, the more money she spend, but I can't bear to see her go and it's so worrying over at that side where ppl thinks Covid is just a atas version of normal flu.


25 - 31 May 2026

25/05/2026 Kinda played out by AI, I walked 1hr around Tanjong Pagar area just to get to the cafe it recommended. Anyway these were areas th...
