Yesterday che-che and I were having a convo about the current SSO concert master and then somehow it lead to her asking me “what does Arena Spectacular mean?” I have no idea I thought it was new and more dramatic props or whatever for the Les Mis that I had booked in October (took advantage of the 20% early bird). Went to check and OMG! It’s just the casts standing there one stage with a standing microphone and sing just like in their 10th and 25th Anniversary performance. But I’m sure it will be the same hair raising and tearing performance. I know the lyrics to every song, can I go on the stage and sing? 🤭

Those were the days… musicals at Kallang Theatre. Poor girl had to take bus to and fro. I went with my friend, C. He was a musical fan as well so we watched three musicals in SIN together. 

The second time I brought the girls was on 4th June 2016. Our seats were far off and high 😂. Their second musical and I wasn’t willing to pay so much per ticket especially when lil’ one dozed off on my lap in 2011 during Lion King musical. 

Alas! I thought I was going for the musical in 2026. 

Booked tickets for this today.(15% early bird instead of 20% coz I didn’t sign up for the waitlist and didn’t get the code.🥹) Nevertheless this is yippee news. One more musical to add to my list. This musical has a different kind of theatrical. Think it’s something like Chicago or Six? I didn’t go to Six eventually coz had to stay at home, so passed my ticket to che-che’s friend B. 

Big girl is 23

23rd Nov (Sun)

Went HDL at Plaza Singapura for birthday celebration 

Wah…. first time it’s decorated so nice. Lil’ one is sore that they didn’t do this for her birthday celebration.

24th Nov (Mon)

Came back with small cake. Someone gave her

a mango cake

When I made the transfer the night before her birthday. I notice the time just as I was editing this photo. Should I transfer her $25.11 at either 11.25am/pm?

25th Nov (Tue) HAPPY BIRTHDAY ! 🎂 

She WFH today but I was busy as had to chauffeur lil’ one back to school and then drop by Ikea. Initially wanted to get her a small slice of Daim cake from there but they didn’t have any.

But she didn’t want us to sing birthday song. 😂. So it’s really a quiet day for her

26th Nov (Wed)

She took her birthday leave (last year she took the same date as well) and she didn’t spend with us. Went out with HL. 

We collected the cake for her, one day late coz that’s the earliest day we can collect 😌. Hubby was suppose to collect for his birthday as it’s from the bank, but a few times he did let her choose her birthday cake, that’s coz they share the same birthday month. That was when she wasn’t so fussy over cakes also. 

We waited and waited for her… daddy was so excited to sing for her, his big baby. 

“Happy Birthday to my big baby”. Had to photoshop the people out from lighted candle cake pic coz everyone didn’t look good 😂. 

27th Nov (Thu)

Came home with another cake 🤣, must be from colleague. Tiramisu cake from Swee Heng

That’s fast! In a wink of an eye and she’s 23! 

Minor accident

We had a minor accident near Novena church at 1.26pm. Apparently this ambulance without the blaring siren was going to cut into our lane when the man horned to warn him a few times of our presence. Is it our car is too small that he can’t see us? The driver still continued to cut into our lane, we were on the extreme left lane so there’s no way we can cut into another lane safely. Next minute “BANG!!” and the guy still continued driving, did he intend to do a hit and run? Hubby horned at him and then he stopped the vehicle next to the church. Yah! To receive blessings?

Driver apologized, saying he didn’t see us. Honestly, this gives him no excuse to not pay attention to the traffic while driving especially when he is bringing patients to the hospital. I’m not lashing out at him but don’t you agree that he should always remain alert. If cannot see can hear right?  He claimed he’s rushing an old man to TTSH A&E. I mean what happened if it was a serious accident? We had a scratch to the right side mirror and it was folded in, rather minor actually. He wanted to open the back to proof to us that he has a patient but we waved him off and asked him to go coz …… for what reason I dunno but two of us automatically signalled for him to go. The soft side of us? Perhaps we didn’t want to indirectly cause an old man to get heart attack inside and die with that loud bang. 

Question is - should we have just let the ambulance go? What is right procedure? Should he have horn to ask driver to stop? There wasn’t any blaring siren so or probably wasn’t a serious case, still at that time we waved for him to go first. Then he mentioned something about going to the A&E to find him. We didn’t lah!

Back in the carpark, short journey from accident place. He looked at the thing again and said .. “I think it’s just minor scratch we forget it.” Honestly I was really relieved he had the same thought coz I wanted to suggest to him to forget it (but risked not knowing what response he’ll have. He could have scolded me that re-painting it cost money I don’t work so I don’t feel heartpain etc..) I mentioned to him 我们好人做好事吧！把坏的划走。I hope he understood my point.

What would you do if you were in our situation? 

IKEA photo

Told her I can get more nicer pics when I’m alone. 

Infact for that Korea holiday with her I was able to get some photos of her without two other people rushing me. And she obliged to be a model, tho I tell you none of my family members are natural infront of camera. pfft! 

Since just the two of us and surprisingly Ikea is not crowded at all so spent around 15mins taking pics.

Now these make good Christmas cards, right? So when anyone needs a pic for their holiday cards, please drop by Ikea. 

☹️ 行きたい 😢

Wanted to go again this year but …. I can only daydream. 

It’s all snow again in Murodo. It has more ❄️ white flurry months than ☀️ 🍂 months.

Only 5 days left to the closing season 🥲 

This year, on 27th October, Tateyama gets its first snow more than one week earlier than last year.  

27th October

28th October

I want to go back TY again. I want to see the alps in its full majestic display. Cannot afford to fly to see Swiss alps so I fly to Japan 😂

Wan Yang closed

Saw in the news that Wan Yang has closed. What?!

Parkway outlet is always packed. I don’t make appts for massage, usually do so when I happen to be there for errands and would pop by if I had some time to spare if they could slot me in. The next one that I go is OTH, but I don’t deliberately leave the house just to do massage so only there on Thursdays. But majority of the Thursdays I either need to quickly pack mom’s lunch then go over OR pack Aricia lunch (when she was in Y1)

Muahaha! The last time I went was a year + ago! 

I guess the reason why the sudden  Coz of customers like me who sign up and then don’t go regularly 🤭. 

Left with 10 sessions which I can easily finish in 5 days. Sigh….. will I help to +1 more victim to CASE? 

Why? Why? Why?

I think I should unfollow some Instagram accounts 😅🥲

This keeps popping up food. And I can really taste the food. I miss Joyfull. Can I just make a 7 day trip to Japan?  😂

New routine?

Suddenly felt so energetic (siao!) and decided to start cooking dinner at mid day. Only 3 dishes, okay lah I’m not starving my family (or maybe I am). 

Cooked mapo tofu, stir fry chicken and steam egg and then cleaned up the kitchen. 

It I will reheat dinner and Thermomix when it’s nearing dinner time. Hmm…. Maybe next time I should be doing this. Kinda reminds me of CB where I started cooking dinner after finishing my lunch

🤔

 Why the heck am I in a christmassy mood? 

Nail

20th Nov (Thu)

Passed by a cart in Orchard Central and saw some press on nails in XS size. 买三送一

21st Nov (Fri)

Did nails for her. Took me so long to do this coz it’s my first time doing this

Nice? 

22/11 (Sat)

5 nails dropped after she washed her hair 😂. I made a funny video collage and sent to boss , and she noticed that I was too gentle when it came to buffing the nail.

In no particular order. 🤣 5 nails macam like a beauty pageant with the top 5 finalists.

Checked pics n arrange nails

as for me? I prefer to paint my nails plain
