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

19th Aug 2024

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 - (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.

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. 🤣





18th Aug 2019

18th Aug 2017

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...

You should see the way these two "puppies" fight. Very funny


The place where she sat.. can easily mistaken it's lil' one's birthday




The group photo where nobody's looking. Haha!

Don't they start young?

I wanted to be: Miss Universe (coz it was held in Singapore. But I'm too short!!)

I was in relationship with: my mummy (and still is)

My best friend was: Hui Fang

My biggest fear was: Cockroaches (still am fearful)

So how about you when you were 12?
