On This Day - (19th Aug) #Reminders from FB#

19th Aug 2025

I didn't forget the dough but I had to do housework first. That is the problem I face whenever I wanted to bake bread, always have 1001 other things | to do. By the time I wanted to bake, it was close to prepping dinner. Baked a few to try out this new recipe in between cooking dinner.




Something is wrong with my weighing machine that I winged it and anyhow pull out any amount I wanted.

Obviously I didn't use my brain when I did the butter. 😂

Thought I wanted to do the same as the bread that che-che likes.
#oiauntyyouthinkthisischeese# 🤭

Coz it melted n dirtied the whole tray 🤣. Maybe nextround I should put in a muffin tray.

The mini choc chips made it look like a messy porcupine.



Trying them out


Both not bad but my opinion don't matter. It's the two fussy girls' opinions that matters.

I left 4 for them and che-che finished all the butter bread, she left only 1 choc chip for lil' one. I didn't tell her that is with butter topping but she knew.

おばあちゃん is so cute 😊 







19th Aug 2025

Taking a short rest in between


If only tulips can last as long as roses 😅


Freesias not exactly that nice looking now but in order to prolong the $20.50 for so little freesias 😂 usage.


Done! 

Coincidentally my Spotify is playing this now as I'm taking a break from housework

Still in the music-y Miss Saigon tunes this morning so I started counting the number of musicals I've watched so far. 23. Not that many actually, can be more. Musicals like Les Miserables, Phantom and Miss Saigon watched it at least 2-3x

There are just so many musicals now, but I still prefer the old old classics. Let me finish all the classics before I go into the new ones. Any classic musical I've missed out?




Every musical is just so nice in their own way. Fast beat, slow beat, jazz, raising flags, giraffes walking in, jumping around too much, the sexy ladies with gueh-mo, scary cats with that thick make up that just come up behind you.


I laughed, I cried, I sing sang sung to the lyrics.

Then there's the "I totally had no idea what the musical was about even until now 😂.

All musicals stand out in their way but i believed I've said this before about one that stood out, the one that still left me in high adoration - Chang and Eng. No offence to my music friends here but I mean... I went to Broadway and West-end so I had that expectation. And I wasn't expecting much of a Singaporean production but oh I was so so wrong. [lt's just like watching football matches and you see them score goals so fast, watch in Singapore they run and run but score only 1 goal.]

Imagine if I hadn't made the choice to watch Chang & Eng I would have missed out so much. I still have the CDs but for the tunes I can't find any scores so have to play by hearing. If you hear me, bring back Chang & Eng.




Next one booked in June, few days after returning from New York

😂. Saw this there but didn't have the chance.


This is one I would love to watch but they're no longer in Broadway. 😭 The songs are so comically nice. Mel Brooks what do you expect. Coz I can't watch the musical, I watched the movie instead.

Please bring back The Producers

Our little nottie girl is back!! 





19th Aug 2020

Few days ago, lil’ one commented this year end would be the boring-est holiday ever! And what can she do for that “so many weeks” school hols. 

She was so looking forward to her Disneyland and the many stargazing 🔭 opportunities in NPs. (I also will miss the 🔭, last year it was cloudy where we went so I lugged the lenses n tripod there for nothing. Che-che would also miss going to her playground - Griffith - 3rd time in 4yrs if we could be there this yr)

So I suggested that I could get her a tent and let her sleep in our PES, since there are 🌲 🌳 and the “waterfall”, we hv that nature feel  🦟 🐜 🐀 here. Or we can go for many trails in Singapore, I didn’t even manage to complete the one in Sentosa myself so we can go and there are so many more to go around in Singapore. 

And yet she continued sulking. Look girl, you’re not the only one sulking.

ENTRY 1 : 

One day I was scolding the two girls n threatened I'd buy them a cane each. "purple cane for you (looking at Che-che) and pink one for you (looking at lil' one)." turned to look at Che-Che n continued scolding. I heard a voice "but I don't like pink colour. I also like purple colour." and that innocent pouty girl looked at me. 

Wah...how to get angry?!

ENTRY 2 : 

As u all know lil' one likes to talk, n her speech is clear. One day she suddenly speaking in tongues n sobbing. We all rushed out to see her ....a fly crawled on her leg for quite some time and she was so scared n nobody around her at that time at that time. 

I know it's bad but we really laugh at her.

ENTRY 3 :

This is how self-motivated lil' one is. It's vy late alr n we just got back home, still she had to grab a book to do while sitting on the throne. Wah...臭臭!

Tell her to stop doing work, she still continue.

On This Day - (1st Aug) #Reminders from FB#

1st Aug 2025

Day 07: crossing my fingers eyes and toes the hydrangea is still doing well.

This is the only flower I have to bring to pong pong 🚿daily, the reason why hydrangeas bloom so beautifully during 梅雨





1st Aug 2023

一眨眼就是八月了!Where did the beginning of 2023 go? Time really flew by, before I know it it'll be 2025.


Footnote written in 2026 : 

Hello! It’s 2026 now. 😩



1st Aug 2023


太离谱了吧!

Price increase. Everything also increase, my size also increase, money never increase only.





1st Aug 2022

有点希望 right? My adenium plant, I've been waiting for the last 3-4 mths when it came with only leaves.

Tho this can never beat the record of my first adenium plant which was flower-less for a year right?

The only happy thing I can look forward to.

My 🌻 s? Failed attempt for the dunno how many times. I need ☀️ , strong ☀️ !! Maybe I should just go to the nursery and buy the sunflower plants.




1st Aug 22

Honestly I don't sympathise with these people who brings in food into Australia without declaring. So I'm thinking why Subway needs to reimburse the lady?

Just for PR sake?

Not sure about now, but I remembered there are constant reminders in the airport if you have any food, fruits in your bag, if yes please discard it or something to that extent. All the way from the gate to the immigration counters, still not enough warning?

Signages in Oz stations, NZ and a few other places.

That's why I never dare bring in any food into Australia.




1st Aug 22

Yesterday lil' one saw me with a cotton bud and asked me why am I cleaning the plants. 🤣

Ah girl ah....your mummy is doing some RA act to the plants lah! I'm not so siao to clean my plants right?

Let's hope this works. This is the 3rd and last pod that only has flowers. The other 2 pods mati at the leafy stage. I wish I can have small little tommies, just like the ones we came home to in Jan



The ones that greeted us when we came home. But the rests all mati coz no more 💦 in the holder.



1st Aug 22

Keeping it simple

Happy Monday, everyone!





1st Aug 16

Was searching up on how to repel crawlies on plants.

This is what I found :

"Aphids: Cedarwood, hyssop, peppermint, spearmint, orange, cedarwood"

The funniest thing is I found small aphids on my mint plant.

This was taken on 30th July. I decided to grab my SLR and tried all sorts of dunno what things to get this, instead of the blobs I normally get. I still couldn't get the clouds in which were visible to naked eyes.

I'm happy with the outcome of the pics tho!

This evening, I was hoping to catch the blue moon but alas wrong timing. Ah mat was chauffeuring and I kept looking in the sky but saw nothing, maybe it was above the car? Or behind? Next one in May 2019, by then mei-mei would be in Sec1. Maybe I'll be more free to sit and wait?

Anyway in order to look for that full moon, I looked in the same direction (which is next to the gym.

Residents exercising must be thinking I'm taking pics of them) today, it was not in my favour. However when we left home at 9.10ish it was so clear but we had to rush to airport. I thought I could get a pic today after we got back home, but clouds just blocked it. Sigh….....

Argh!

Haven’t been able to stargaze for so long, it’s always so cloudy when I happen to walk out into the PES so I kinda gave up. 

Imagine my excitement when I read the article today. But it’s between 2am and 5.30am 😒, lao-niang need my sleep lah! Tomorrow going to fight as much as I can in class coz I’ve already missed two Fight-Do classes 🤭. I wonder if my penthouse neighbour will be able to see it.

So I’m thinking… I used to say that I wasn’t able to go to dark spots for all these spottings last time coz I have to do my motherly chauffeuring duties the next day but now I don’t do much so what’s stopping me? Maybe the only fear or worry I will have is whether I’ll bump into any hantu 👻 coz nobody to accompany me.

On this day - 16th June #Reminders from FB#

16th June 2025

On TV is this guy who came back to Japan again for his food hunt. I'm so amazed he can go to three different places in a span of 4hrs, he can eat so much!

* edit : and then he continued more food hunt after that. Basically the trip is for solely eating.



16th June 2025

For years I've been saying I want to eat in Doutor, no one obliged me. It's just simple bread toast but want to eat means I want to eat 😂

Finally, I got the chance. Nothing fantastic but oh well ...once is enough.

16th June 2017

Sigh.....phone dead. My brain is dead. What was I suppose to do tmrw??!?!? 

The most dreaded thing that can ever happen to me! Notes, schedules and some recent photos/ contacts. ARGH! 😭
Temporary using lil' one's phone coz she dropped my previous old phone n spoilt it! No more spare phone at home with mini SIM card.
Hate this!


16th June 2016

After reading so many stories about ppl getting calls from DHL and police. I believe I was also one of them.

Nope! I didn't pick up the calls. I don't pick up unfamiliar numbers at all.

I was checking the number of times they called when I accidentally press call back. Stopped the call 2secs later, so didn't get to hear if it really rings.





16th June 2013

Deprived masak masak childhood huh?





16th June 2013

My silly lil' one wrote this telling us what she saw in the Zoo. Haha! 


Footnote written in 2022 : 🤣🤣 观音菩萨 in Sensoji 不灵 leh.

None of her prayers is answered. No top scholar, never grow tall, never become pretty, only put on a little weight.

Maybe coz she spoke in English when she prayed.

Shò Kannon Bosatsu can only understand 日本語 lah! 


16th June 2011

I've a sheep and a donkey at home.
Che-che always like to say "like that meh?". So I call her my sheep
Mei-mei likes to say "oh! yah hor!" I mimicked her by going "yah hor, hee hor!". She's my little donkey. 

16th June 2010

Ah doh! One of the things I wanted to do this school hols is to re-organise the children's things from their wardrobe - other stuffs over to their room. Discard some stuffs and ............I totally forgot about it!!!
