Our day

Initial plan was to pick lil’ one up from school and send her to the centre for her psychological assessment tests. But just the other day mom and bro bought her some clothes from United Square and I need to do an exchange (they underestimated her size 🤣). Do it today since I’m already out of the house 

For the first time ever! I managed to park on this level! For 4-5 years when the girls were in TLL here, I can only park on the 5th level. I can’t believe it actually took me a while to orientate myself here and out of the lift in mall

She wanted the Redhill fishball soup. I do like the springy noodles and sauce

Exchanging clothes

“Do you miss your TLL here?” 

When lil’ one was in P5 I switched her over to TLL Marine Parade

June 2022 was the last time she came here

While she was in the room, I took a nap outside. After the tests are done, I just wanted to go home immediately. Was out for 5-6 hours today and old body cannot take it. 

On This Day - (16th July) #Reminders from FB#

16th July 2025

Katsudon is the easiest one dish meal to cook, but I end up with additional dishes I need to wash 🤣. Just coz both girls end work at different time, and I want to clean up the kitchen asap. Had to plate them individually as the sauce might soak thru into the rice and they always ask for additional sauce so need a bowl of sauce.

Their food don't look that appetising coz no onion, no spring onion. Mine is worst coz I have no meat and I basically just fried the last egg we have at home and that's all I'm having for dinner

I cheated on che-che's "meat" coz she had leftover chicken cutlet from her lunch she packed yesterday at work, so instead of frying a new pork katsudon for her, l heated up her cutlet and then add to the katsudon sauce n egg. When you don't have a donburi pan, you just make do with what you have at home 🤣 Cover from my

saucepan is so much bigger than this round pan for frying eggs and making pancake.

Lil' one's the pork I bought yesterday at CS Taka I tweaked the sauce recipe again, coz the last time I cooked | felt it was too salty but the girls love it 😛

Bought 3 of these yesterday intending to cook for us today. Not sure if this is nice but I'll cook the remaining 2 for them another day, then it's another meatless meal for me 🤣

16th July 2024

When it's really tasty, girl drinks up the soup ALL THE TIME. The one in NYC is really yucks.

* feeling funny *

Do you feel the same meh.... when you saw something outside and decide to 📸

the stupid bushes or trees block your view, like suddenly 🧐

then you think "nvr mind pulling into the station soon"

Why？为什么老天爷你这样对我！

16th July 2023

Oops! Too many books here. 🤭

Time to move some over to the shelf in bomb shelter

16th July 2010

So happy to be back.

I told instructor I wanted to hug her and kiss her, and also kiss the floor the moment I stepped into the studio.

16th July 2019

* feeling funny *

Was telling the girls about lunar eclipse and lil' one told me not to stay up to watch "later you cannot wake up to send us to school how?"

16th July 2016

"If our body have white dots, is it really skin disease?"

This is what the lil' one typed into Google.

Muahaha! The lil joker.

16th July 2016

It used to be a week thing, now is a 3 day thing.

Uniquely KC.

Che-Che's class won in some competition, so today they had to go back to put up performance for Literature Fest, which had 92 schools going over to the school. She stayed back to help out after their item. Learning experience for her, and she met some ex-primary girls there.

Well done 203!

16th July 2016

Lil' one's taichi practice 👯‍♀️ time. My legs were put to good use, hold down the chair for her. 

16th July 2016

Room too small, she can't roll on the floor. Roll and then go back original position to continue. Then she grouch grouch. This girl is hilarious.

16th July 2011

She had been bugging me to bring her to the pool much earlier.. I didn't allow. 15mins before class is ok coz the girls normally play after class. So was crying while doing abacus. Her tantrum day, trying her luck to negotiate with me.

16th July 2011

The Ambi pur car deodoriser somehow got into my bag. Now my stuffs smell like that. I'm suffering now coz' my thumbdrive (next to me - stuck in USB port) gives out the overwhelming smell.

Efficient!

Applied lil’ one’s passport on Monday afternoon as her passport expires next April. 

Today, Thursday they emailed that it’s done and to arrange for collection

I just hope this passport is valid for 10 years.

See lah see lah! You want to buy a long long jaguar until you cannot park, you cannot move into the lot then must find another one.

My small car is the best, one turn and I'm in and you're still struggling with your car. #kittencarbetterthanjaguar# 😆

15th July 2025

A quick lunch date and speed chat with my dearest friend, then she rushes back home to continue her busy busy work. So paiseh she has to sacrifice her time for me.

And it doesn't stop there so we continue the chats later on via WhatsApp 😂

Thanks for lunch treat dearie!

15th July 2025

What the ?! A year later!

Too kancheong to meet dearest friend Wilma Cheng that the zipper came off while I was zipping up my bag in the car.

After our lunch date, it's off to LV again but different mall, to get it fixed.

As she said, we shall meet again when I'm due to collect my bag. Haha!

15th July 2024

Aunty do what she does best! Last July my buy was compact umbrella. This July an even more compact 雨傘。Muahaha！

Footnote written in 2026 : 

It's a 'ritual thing to buy' in the two summer Japan trips. No umbrella shopping this year for me again.

15th July 2024

* with che-che

She tagged along with me this trip so technically suppose to do what I want to do, see what I want to see, but why did I suggest that she can karaoke 🎤? 😂

15th July 2024

Maybe now that my girls don't need much caring from me, I should go and clean up poo, feed and bathe tamagotchi? 🤣

Footnote written in 2026 : 

She bought me one, in one of her trip. Died so many times, coz I can't take care of it 24/7, I don't live a superbly free tai-tai life. Oh well, at least both girls are hardy enough, I didn't end up killing them / not feeding them.

15th July 2024

Not buying fan, just hide this aisle first

15th July 2023

Cute puppies and kittens near my jap girlfriend's place.

Lil' one's fav Shiba Inu

Footnote written in 2026 :
Last year when the girls did their siblings trip, they met up with my jao girlfriend (Che-che stole my friend 🤣) The girls popped by the pet shop as well.

15th July 2022

Lil' one is here with us mentally

Just COZ ...

Somebody is going to be jealous. Not here physically but in our minds just because >>

they’re playing this song “……🎵 my superstar 🎤.” 

Muahaha! She used to like this song and would sing it out in daddy's 🚗 

15th July 2022

Started reading about 2 weeks ago, got me going until I had things to do and needed to prioritise so I'll do my reading later.

I went back to revising my Japanese a few months back, and stopped coz I've more important things to dO.

I never got to start learning a new language - German since CB. So when can I start?

The only thing I managed was i had a little more practices and played the electone a little better esp those killer G5-3 pieces coz Aunty's level is not that high 🤣 . definitely still room for improvements.

Sigh….... when can have the free time to really do what I want?

Footnote written in 2024:

Can see n hear the difference in che-che last July and this July. She took up a Japanese unit in uni and of course I wouldn't say she's very good or even halfway there but it's not a bad attempt.

She will speak a little more here now and then when

staff彼女 何 言 ，she ends up"huh?Huh?🤣"

Honestly not bad attempt coz her mother will "huh huh huh huh?" more than her - I cannot make it already. So conclusion, I need to immerse myself more aka make more trips to Japan 😂

15th July 2017

A game of badminton with daddy

Making faces at daddy when she won. Then complained when she lost. Haha!

Wow! I didn't know I managed to get this shot of the lil' Tigger

Footnote written in 2023 : 

Aricia Ting the jumping tigger.

It's really strange altho her co-ordination isn't that good (which of course we found out it was due to her eyes problem), BUT she could play badminton 😂 not that badly

15th July 2016

Fridays are "打战” day. Always need to pack dinner for the lil' one. She comes back home later in the night with three bags (ballet, foodbag, tuition).

I gotta carry her heavy schoolbag home! I also 打战

15th July 2011

SCIENCE LESSON - Mealworms experiment Since the last time I posted on this experiment, they've moulted twice. I think I know which one is it today, the outer covering is lighter in colouring.

This is pic of the exoskeleton.

Losing patience over these disgusting mealworms.

Can't wait for them to pupate, which I think will take a long time.

SCIENCE LESSON : Plants

White flowers put in coloured water. We did this in school decades ago before but not my girls. Two colours coz didn't hv enuf bottles. One red and the other purple (which looks like blue)

SCIENCE LESSON: Plants

'continuation from the prior uploaded pic :

Barely 2 hours later, the excited girls ran into the room to tell me that one of the flower has turned pink. Lil' girl said "it's like frangipani"

15th July 2011

Wow! SQ hired a JFSS who's Caucasian and she speaks well. Saw a few girls (in training) with their heavily made- up face. Blue eyeshadow. Bright red lipstick, bright red nail polish. Bun tied so tightly that

eyes become smaller. 想当年.

15th July 2011

Camping scene every Fridays:

Lil' girl doing her school homework after her lunch.

After this, she'll sleep in the car until I drive in to pick up Che-Che.
