Breakie with Good&Rich rolls.

Found monkey god's head band in cinnamon stick.

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.
Jackie Chan's sentimental movie.

Had fish soup here, my butt couldn't take heaty food liao.
It's new and the workers took forever.

That's my plushie kitty.
Delicious pocket friendly meal.

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.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

18/04/2023

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.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

20/04/2023


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.

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.

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.
