On This Day - (25th Aug) #Reminders from FB#

25th Aug 2025

Girlfriend is so generous and kind to send over a streamer she collected from the concert to che-che.

Even took the effort to buy a container to put in the streamer so it doesn't get destroyed.

Nevertheless she has made my girl so happy. Altho she can't go for the concert, she has a momento from the concert.

Thankful to N who knows how to spoil me rotten. She knows I will never decline cookies esp now. Her cookies came at a rightful time when I needed some sweetness.

Love you berry much babe! I truly appreciate your kind gesture and thinking of me.

The cookies are really yummy. Now I know why her bakes can sell so well and mine (if I ever tried) will never sell at all. Hmm....this gives me an 💡. I shall one day pretend go over and volunteer help in baking and then steal her recipes. *evil laughter*

Was wondering why this guy so many hand actions, at first I thought he was quarrelling with someone but no leh.... I see the car next to him at peace with him.

Then I saw him actioning and having dunno what conversation with the guy opposite. Like that can meh? They understand each other??

😂 It was throughout the red light duration. Maybe they were talking about their delivery destinations?

I found it hilarious so just have to take a pic.

Just went into the dirtiest toilet in Changi City Point, Singapore L1 (between Cotton On and Puma) At 9.30am, all cubicles have toilet papers thrown on each cubicle floor and for the weirdest reason there's a strip of toilet paper in every cubicle back shelf (above n behind toilet seat). Some sticky marks (ahem ahem 😯) on the floor, every sanitary bin is overfilled!! Some even have pads sticking out. OMG!

So disgusting! Was so urgent that I just went into the cubicle with the least filled sanitary bin. Floor is sticky, I usually spray sanitizer on the shoe outsoles before keeping them at home but now I need to spray it in the mall before I step into my car.

My idea of when I'm out, I'll run all errands at one go.

Walk fast fast from place to place. Parked at level 5, went all the way down to B1. Start packing lunches and buy whatever I need to buy and move up each level.

List deleted from handphone each time something is done. List is typed in with timing, considering that I know I will start from B1. Makes deleting the list easier for me. Same for groceries, I type according to layout of the supermarket and delete them.

Dropped by hair salon to make appt for next week for lil' one, dropped by Wan Yang to (finally) make appt for my back massage next week since she'll take some time at the hair salon.

All done in 1 1/2hrs. And then I'm left with only 15mins to rest and drink water in the car and then drive off to school.

Some people can eat until they get sore throat.😂

Cleared their shelf of 23 boxes! Not easy to find so….





25th Aug 2020

An amount of $ spent for some assurance. Of course hoping that there's no use for it. But I guess some money just hv to be spent in such ways. #anotheryearidlinginmetalcontainer# #atleastwegothope#



25th Aug 2018

I left in 2002. It wasn't an easy job but it was a job I loved.

This job didn't just teach me to serve, this job taught me safety and first aid. Above all things it taught me life lessons that I couldn't get in any office job, what more the lessons comes internationally 😜. If Ihad a chance, I would do it all over again.

As a mom now, I understand where the stewardess's mom is coming from. She'd worry over the safety of her precious daughter. My mom was always there for me. She waited with me for the cab downstairs and waited for me downstairs patiently even at odd timings for goodness knows how long when I arrived back home and cook something for me while I unpack. I used to think she watched over me like a hawk but now I'm a condor over my girls. She would always lit up joss sticks and pray for my safety, usually asking for my flight time so she knew which joss sticks (long or short) to burn. And believe it or not, I've been kept safe those years. I had a few narrow escapes, things happening in those countries a day or 2 after I touched down in SIN. That's 母爱.

Thanks mummy Irene Ma!

Everytime I arrived back home, she wasn't looking forward to the cream puff from Narita (anyway that shop is no longer there) or 🍎 strudel from Perth (and the list goes on), all she wanted to see was her daughter safe and sound. Food and snacks are just bonus for her.

So before you think about making life difficult and fusing too much over our SQ service and praising other airlines (which honestly I had no idea how those airlines got those awards coz ..I didn't have friendly and helpful staffs around. Worst! I would have died in the plane if I had pressed the attendant call bell. As what we would usually say "Christmas lights in the cabin" Trust me I've seen their Christmas lights illuminated for a long time, probably until CNY then they'll answer you. SQ crew is still faster) think - all those airlines copied our ideas for seats and service. Best thing the crew are not even present in the cabin as often as SQ crew, I wonder how pax voted them to have the friendly cabin crew award. SQ crew stay in the galley, confirm you'll get awards every year.

Treat and respect crew as they are someone else's children just like you are your parents' child. They chose this job for whatever reasons, so don't fuss over little things and then behave so well on other airlines.

If pilot say cannot land means we cannot land, don't throw your tantrum at the cabin crew over your connecting flight. I'm sorry you had to miss your million dollars meeting coz we might be meeting God if pilot tries to land. If run out of your meal choice, be kind. They have no control over the rests of the pax preferences. It's a crew nightmare if they had to deal with one pax who insist on eating that damn chicken. What’s so great about that chicken anyway? 

Go vegan better still! It's good to detox once in a while. Eating simple on board is the best. Anyway I always have no appetite on board so I don't understand how some can eat a huge cow and keep eating. I have my bottle of water and the 3 important things from aircraft I need - pillows, blanket and earpiece and I'm happy.

Almost everyone is a frequent flyer, you would know when they have the drink or meal service. Please go to the toilet before that and not when the crew pushes out the cart then you start walking to the toilet. Everyone seems to have bladder problem onboard SQ but not on other airlines. I'm not joking!

Maybe it's the air freshener [haha! How we ex-crew rmbr the aircraft smell] causing bladder problem?

If the crew seems stuck up and not talking to you during take-off and landing, don't complain. They're just running through in their mind safety drills should any emergency arises. They're the only ones to get you out safely. And this has to be refreshed every year. Re-test when they fail and too bad taken off the next flight until ready to flap their wings. There are cabin crews who have been flying longer than the time I got my driving licence. When I got my driving licence, I didn't have to go back for refresher course yearly. My driving licence more atas looking than the SEP card (crew licence to fly), yet again don't underestimate that ugly looking piece of SEP card. In order to get that piece of paper (which I think my goodie bags tags are better looking) think about the drills they had to go thru yearly - the huge waves they had to swim when they probably hadn't stepped into a calm pool for the longest time; the fire melting their makeup as they fight the fire; seeing the unfaithful dummy who has many lovers kissing and massaging him.

Don't look grumpy infront of crew when you couldn't sleep coz of a baby crying coz they should be the ones to be grumpy - they had a hard time pleasing both sides. They're even more tired than you coz while you were sleeping, they were awake. You can sleep for 8-10hrs but they can only sleep for 2-3hrs as they fly thru the same time zone as you.

Oh! Lastly please don't comment "this stewardess/ steward is late for flight" coz there are days when they are called up at really last minute to cover someone else without time for mental preparation and they gotta report to aircraft straightaway. I got this before, almost wanted to do a Miss Singapore wave to them for the recognition I get ... and halfway through the flight I was still trying to recall what's that CS or LSS in first class name and the rests of the crew. Seems rude but had to stare at their chest first before talking to them (looking at name tag)

Recital in school 


25th Aug 2016

Witnessed a kind action today. I stopped at the traffic lights, just next to me a motorcycle ride up in between my car n the lorry in the next lane. The old man got down from his bike and took a bread out and gave to one of the foreign worker seated in the lorry.

The rests of them smiled, the recipient was grateful.

Now I wonder if he will pinch a small piece and shared the rests with his colleagues. I thought that was really a nice gesture. Whether it's one or two bread, it doesn't matter.

Ps: I highlighted to the girls and then lil' one suggested to give the sotong balls (from OCK) we have. Nah! We didn't, had to drive off already.



25th Aug 2014


Lil' one is going for audition for school Dance Club tomorrow. 👯‍♀️

Pray she'll get in. 



25th Aug 2013


Can u believe it?! My 11 - ehh... still 10yr old is watching Dora and answering questions/ doing prompts to Dora. 🤭



25th Aug 2012


@ PTM: Chinese complains lil' one talks too much in class. Intonation considered not too bad for someone who don't speak the language at home, still can be improved



25th Aug 2011


Two girls were crossing our small carpark, while I was struggling with bags of stuffs behind them. Che-Che started with the habit of raising her hand up to cross, mei-mei followed her n she said "hello" to someone at the same time. We dunno who that guy was, who was taken aback by a polite girl, burst out laughing at her from behind. Did she thot that Athena raised her hand to say hello?

On This Day - (18th Aug) #Reminders from FB#

18th Aug 2025

Four days later and still talking about / thinking what to do with that milk 😂. Must finish that milk before 30th.

#拼命的喝拼命的用##themilkisnotcheap#



While I was having my lunch ..

Bread! Why didn't I think I can make bread. Took out books to refer to recipe


After cooking dinner, I got Ms Thermie to work for the 3rd time today. She's never worked so hard before 🤣. Just play around with the functions with how much I'd usually take to manually knead.


I enjoy making bread coz of the yeasty smell and the manual kneading. Ms Thermie took the workload for me today so I can wash my dishes but she keeps running away 🤣 n had to keep an eye on her just incase she wants to commit suicide. But I hate making bread coz of the time needed for proofing. Now I gotta wait.



18th Aug 2025

Ms Thermie will be busy today. Starting with my roselle drink.

* tagged che-che in this post 

GF messaged me in the morning after the dunno how many concerts she went. I'm sure che-che is very jealous.

Watched other people's YouTube and now I understand how a fan feels when going for any concerts. Again I must reiterate, thank goodness the music I like - the people all mati already. No need me to go fangirl-ling 🤣

Athena Ting you can cut all ties with your godma

Ling Li 😂, go and 认 Aunty M and pray hard she

pass one ticket to you the next time she wins.🤣

Hopefully che-che can get tickets to at least one of their concerts in the near future.





Next 2 pics from other ppl’s YT


I can't believe I'm playing this while doing housework (ok now I'm resting) but yah..... I kindda grew into their music. 😂

Who knows I may be another lao charboh

going after young men. Haha!




18th Aug 2024 

Musical with my best companion.

Prepare to cry (again). I brought tissue paper and peppermint oil just incase my nose turns stuffy from crying.

#myfourthmusicalthisyear#





Excited! 


18th Aug 2024

Aunty hasn't taken a train in ???? 😂

Coz it was a last minute thing to take the train (the carpark entrance at MBS was closed for maintenance and there was no way to make a short cut across 3 lanes to make a U-turn. Thus I proceeded to park in Suntec, not bad an idea coz more food choices there.) I was told can use wallet to pay. Muahaha! I'm that suaku! And I don't even know if my EZ-link has expired or not and what's the value left inside 😂







18th Aug 2022

Argh!!!

I only saw the notice for their concert this morning and wanted to tell che-che n asked if she wants to

go.

Now... doubting her words "they're very popular tickets hard to get" I went in to check. 😏




18th Aug 2022

Never knew my left foot bruise became so bad after the organ chair dropped on my foot yesterday.

So went for my class both legs pai-kah. Right knee in pain after 3rd track, left foot in pain. 🤣

Toilets checked!
Can't believe I actually threw essential oil in the potable toilet coz it smells!
Should I do up a rest roster for the grandchildren?? I'm the only elder here. All thanks to my 2 girls who wanted to 守夜 (all night vigil). Somebody has to stay over with them right? Now I'm having a headache coz have been doing laundry late every night / early morning n simple tidying up and a quick clean house using dry wipes.

Can you spot the moon?





18th Aug 2016

When the girls were chasing after pokemons while I was driving, I was chasing after the big yellow moon.

** pity that I can't get a nice shot with iPhone



18th Aug 2015


Dunno if any mother faces the same problem as I do...

Reading is good, but I even have to ban her from buying any more new books until the school holidays.

Why? She gets so engrossed in her books that she sneaks reading in the night after I send them to bed, she sits on the throne longer. And ...she even has her fav books with her on her bed. I can keep it on the shelf, next morning I see them on the bed again. I suggested that she can sleep with her textbooks and assessment books; hug them to sleep I don't mind.

Better still under her pillow so all stuffs get into her brain. Keke!



18th Aug 2015


Now I know why she keeps insisting I had to buy her a new storybook. She's using her storybook as her Lit text. And she told me "next time if it happens that my Lit text is a book I happen to hy, you must buy it for me!"

I don't think it'll happen again right? She don't read William Shakespeare. Heee... (not sure what the other level texts are anyway)



18th Aug 2015

Throwback to Nov 2008



I lup (love) my cousin. But now we fight all the time...
