So here we are today, tracking down a scoop at the NEX
What does being 51 means? It means I’m officially classified as a quinquagenarian (mouthful to pronounce), joining my brother and sister falling under the same age group. What the #%^*! I’m so bloody old! Somehow in my mind I still think I’m in my late 30s. Denial to the max, I’m not embracing old age at all.
Health wise - bones and muscles changing so I think I need to do some weight training but … I’m quite hesitant to go under the torture from a PT. And they cost $$. And I need to make my way out to a gym when I already have a gym in the condo.
Vision - so I’m blessed that I’m still myopic. No signs of hyperopia
Hair - the whites have been growing out so fast. Wah..I can’t seem to catch up colouring my hair. Thankfully I’ve been a cheapskate since SQ days where I tend to colour my own hair dark brown/black so I shall just continue doing this until I can’t stretch my hands to reach my head.
9th Oct (Fri)
Flowers still looking beautiful
Usually I don’t sompah to 观音菩萨 for my trips except hubby’s solo or family trips. But this time I did for myself during our Japan trip.
Truth is on Day 01 upon arrival in GH I was already blessed but as I prayed for Day 02 I made a promise to her that if she kept us protected, away from floods and landslides and earthquakes I’d pay back everyday of my trip. So I did. Only thing is I don’t usually do one whole week straight lah! I will tell guangyin “today I stop for one day.” Haha! I set the rules.
Yah! It started late for me coz it wasn’t convenient to start. Kinda regretted coz I won’t be able to finish up my 9 days when hubby returns, and then I need to start his 2 weeks. I will finish for sure. 加油！
Now I have steady supply of Myojo vegetarian mushroom flavour noodles at home. I also have a bottle of mushroom vegetarian oyster sauce coz I seem to be ann expert liao and also arrogant coz I tell her when I’ll do 😂, like that also can. Hubby is also used to it, I’ll tell him when I’m on vegetarian then when he goes out to pack lunch for us, he packs vegetarian for me. When he packs I have more choices lor! There’s a stall that sells nice kueychap, horfun near us (I’m just lazy to leave the house)
Day 01 : 23rd Sep (Wed)
Not knowing what to start my sompah with but the vegetarian instant noodles. This time round I made it dry. The soup can be tasteless so I usually either add curry powder or togarashi to spice up the taste. Paired my noodles with mango honey drink
Day 07 : 1st Oct (Thu)
Was so tired. The flu medication didn’t seem to work. Maybe wrong medication? Perhaps I should go and see the doctor? Anyway started a little coughing today so didn’t go for my Fight-Do class.
But had to bring mom n helper out coz I told helper not to cook already + need to check on their fridge. Better get my job done and not delay another day. So many days already and still not recovered, I doubt delaying meeting them a day later will make any difference to me.
Dinner was from Maki-san. I ordered mega size, selected all vegetarian option except teriyaki chicken which I had no other vegetarian option. Took out the chicken and gave it to lil’ one. But I didn’t have much appetite. Was groggy after I took a 1hr nap after returning home from bro’s place & after popping medications.
Had three days of break and resumed on a brand new week. Last two days before I take a day or two of break then re-start the cycle for another 14 days. I’m just grateful for the protection we received.
Day 08 : 5th Oct (Mon)
When the man is back he can always help me pack vegetarian food as he sends Che-che to work. I’m lazy to leave the house so would rather dig out whatever I can find at home.
Day 10 : 7th Oct (Wed)
I didn’t want to go vegetarian today coz it’s my birthday. I wanted to indulge in meat but hubby already bought my vegetarian lunch. I can’t remember what I had for lunch!! Maybe also good to go vegetarian on my birthday lah’
I had to leave the house after lunch to get the lady essential for the helper, who forgot to buy it yesterday. Sigh… I kept asking her to think what else she needs, kept saying “ok mdm. No more mdm.” I wanted to rest at home leh! I already popped a flu medication after my lunch, before helper messaged me. I hope I don’t go sleepy behind the wheels. And this damn whatever flu + headache from big or haze (?) has dragged on for so long already. 够了吧！can stop already? My body is tired for too long.
Packed dinner for the family before buying her thing. Didn’t stay long at bro’s place. I managed to sneak in a 45mins nap.
Dinner - makisan
Ok. That’s it! I’m going to rest a few days before I re-start for another 14 days. Don’t think I’ll have the energy to blog it down anymore.
We're having a drink party? 😂
Footnote written in 2026 :
Can’t really rmbr why there were so many cups of drinks. Reminds me of the time this year when we left the ordering of drinks in CQ to hubby. When che-che & I got back to the hotel, lil’ one exclaimed “guess what? Daddy accidentally ordered double” We had 8 cups of drinks and all struggling to finish them 😂. Worst when we were so greedy that we ordered big cups. 8 BIG cups!!!
Omg! I didn't know Twoset Violin had their concerts in US. One of the venue is near where che-che is 没有机会, can't even go for their last concert coz she has to 读书读书
@ petrol station
Me:..r u queuing for cashier?
Guy : No. I'm thinking
Me: (huh?)
So he was thinking as in thinking (thinking what I dunno), it wasn't him thinking if he was going to queue or not.
Strange answer.
5th Oct 2023
Did these last evening so can pass them to mom today. Added sugar for this batch so not sure if it's too sweet or not. Too sweet not my fault tho I put lesser
Tried to "thin out" the coconut for this second batch coz I felt it was too thick the first batch.... but oopsy now's too little 🤭
One whole mango for just these 4.
Mom's recipe yields about 800ml of water for one mango, this recipe only 250ml so I think my mango texture is thicker? #soheaty#
Not sure what to do with the extra coconut agar agar so just pour some into the Sumikko mold.

*Minor Crisis*
Wasn't sure how clean my clothes are coz I only noticed the drum not rolling when it was at the last stage so I decided to pop by the 24hrs laundry 400m
from me.
I was trying to pry open the detergent cover but nope it doesn't work here. $5 for this wash. And let's see how many rounds I need to put in the dryer later on.
Useless washing machine! My previous one in Panggol house lasted me the whole time I was there & slightly longer, current one since the time we moved here.
5th Oct's order
Spaghetti
This is making me hangry.... I want to eat donuts
The funniest serve.
As it bounces n she tries to serve, ball lodge between the gap. Suddenly heard her "ay? Where did the ball go?" and she turns around to check
The joker.
We all heard the ball bounced, I turned my head towards che-che wanting to see her hit the ball, but no ball. The server, the opponent and the audience all left puzzled
Children's Day in school
Prepared some gifts for the girls in her class.
She volunteered to bring chicken sausage for their class party. Did a check before packing n realised it's not halal.
Luckily, this unhealthy family has some unhealthy ready-to-cook snacks at home. A check was done to verify it's halal. Left with one pack each so ...anyway I heard they had alot of food so this is sufficient.
She lugged heavy bags to school. Was grouching that she might not be able to climb up the stairs etc...and I was already so nervous this morning as there was a jam in KPE due to an accident so asked her to stop complaining.
In the end, had to drop che off first as she has exams today. Lil' one - not so important...but still got booked by prefects!!
Amongst all the Children's Day gifts, this set stands out. Lil' one got a special instruction from a teacher (not teaching her this year) to go over staff room after concert.
Not the norm gift, and she said it's for both girls. She didn't forget che-che. So sweet of her..... I guess in her eyes che-che is still a child. Heehee!
Thank you, Mrs XX!
Buay tahan. Why these kids talk must have the f word? This girl surrounded by boys n talking / studying. She keeps using f word, CB in her sentence. Omg! I'm abt to go over n slap her mouth!!
一个女孩子一开口就.....

*added some photos into the CD party @ GeniusRus album*
Kids before the session
No pics during class. I came back 45 mins later to see my messy girl. She was more interested in licking the batter. Think che-che did most of the job.
They had food and pinata for the kids.
Kids and their goodies.
Goodies + FUN = 2 happy kids
Lunch @ Mcs
Their swiss roll. Top right pic - Aricia's (she tore off the top to eat), big pic - Athena's.
Simple decos came off during the transportation. Box too big for the swiss roll which keeps "rolling". That's why they call it swiss roll.
Goodies
