On This Day - (26th July) #Reminders from FB#

26th July 2025

Just coz I needed to use up the pandan leaves.
Peach gum dessert again 😄




26th July 2025

Flower for the home. Hydrangea

Coz I'm missing Japan 🤣





26th July 2025

Girls all time fav.

Aw...! miss Japan. I want to go back!!



Che-che loves her ramen


Lil’ one loves her soba

Then throwback to the time I went to a place where they serve the freshest soba with all the good water they so claimed. Recorded with their permission, only in restaurants they serve nice nice. Aricia, be thankful that your mummy didn't serve your soba from the pot.



So cute this boy. Saw me filming then flip the container for me


With the bestest soba. I'm not a soba fan but this is really very very nice. Lil' one will love this for sure.

Needless to say, I bought a few packs of fresher soba home for her.

I love this small town I went to. Really quiet, friendly people.


After that need to pour the sobayu into the tsuyu to drink. But I couldn't drink all coz I had greedily ordered a soba ice-cream too 😂.

With the fresh soba at home, I was able to introduce her sobayu. The usual packed dried soba we buy doesn't have any nutrients coming out in the water.



26th July 2025

jiang xi dong until I buy back my parfume. Should I bubble wrap this?😂




26th July 2025

I know this is my fav perfume but it's too overpowering inside the toilet 🤣.  Let's see how many days will the smell linger inside here. I even scrubbed the floor with Dettol, I can't smell Dettol. 


26th July 2021

The contractual agreement that is one sided.

To che-che's whims n fancies.

But then they swooped toys between them prior, lil' one's Duffy is on che-che's bed, che-che claimed the small giraffe toy ehh...where did it go?) was hers not lil' one and what else?!

As long as you don't nip off my flowers can

J. I'm watching 👀 you birdy.




26th July 2014

A gift for daddy..






26th July 2014

She bugged che-che to buy her a present 2 months in advance. And she chose a loom set. (Huh? Hv the kit already..)

She slowly picked up looming. Put one rubber band, talk 5 sentences, loop one time, talk again, loop the other side, talk I-lost-count-number-of-sentences.

Finish one, show off and talk again. Haiz! At the rate she's going she talks more than she looms. My eyeballs just roll when she goes about doing that.

Her first loom after xxx minutes. Oops! My eyeballs dropped from eye socket liao!





26th July 2013

Bumped into Che-Che's good friend's mom in the morning. Asked if her dau is looking forward to tmrw's NE Show. Her reply is "no, but it seems like she's looking forward to snacking there." Haha! My girl also made me buy snacks, looks like a few of them are buying to share. Hmm.... Things they'll do together.




26th July 2013


Y do kids like to take off their shoes or slippers while eating? I had always thought it was only my girls bad habit. Now I realized majority of kids do that



26th July 2010 

Bakes

Opera slice cake class on 25th July. Time away from the kids.



Chef dismantling my cake, which was a little hard coz' my one is very tall (if only I'm tall too!). Packed and ... can't wait to show it to the kids. Just nice, today's 25th - can celebrate che-che turning 7 yrs 8 mths ( we haven't done this for quite some time already).



My uneven and superbly thick cake - coz' I'm so greedy

I put alot of buttercreaM and chocolate ganache.

Hahaha! Actually I'm still not that good in coating buttercream.

My cake tak balance - got white got brown. Haha!



Apparently the cake was slanted during the transportation home. Sigh…... otherwise the cake is shiok-li-cious!!

(greedy lor! put so much ganache until can slip - hahaha! Actually put on carseat so slanted lah!)

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

25th July 2025

Thank you beautiful ladies (you know who you are) for the meetup.

Thanks for the treat 🙎🏻‍♀️ and thanks 💁🏻‍♀️ for paying for

my dinner.

Safe travels and take care my two lovely friends. #nvrseeeachotherforyears#

#lasttimewewereteensnowwearecalledaunties#


* was a meetup with S who flew back for a break from DXB and E, both my sec school classmates.


25th July 2025

I want to cry 😭. Now my bathroom smells like a Chanel boutique. Picked up the glass fragments and cleaned up the floor, I think I will leave the plastic bag in the yard area for the time being.

25th July 2022

I wonder what's his thoughts were as he swallowed the water. 🤢 🤮 

can't even eat anything from the indian stations' hotels at all. So many times I have to drop by the airport clinic upon arrival or clinic near home on my off day, usually too sick that doc wants to give me MC but I decline (yah, even tho I may have a horrible rostered flight coming up I won't get the MC)

So I always end up bringing 2 huge bottles of water for drinking and another for washing my hands and contact lens container. And bring a loaf of bread with me. I'll either spread Nutella from home or bring the choc chip bread. Thank goodness, it's usually a nightstop only. If it's longer nightstops, I will eat so much bread looking like しょくぱんまん

EX- station I'll never eat any meals catered onboard, l'll usually eat biscuits not even instant noodles!

Drinks on board, I'll go for the canned drinks brought up EX-SIN.

Maybe coz my stomach is really sensitive. I started doing that in my first going to second year of flying when I noticed the bouts of food poisoning from outside food n hotel food.




25th July 2017

Good idea. But it won't really work on the girls. One is so tall the other is so short.😬




25th July 2016

Did this last night, in my opinion it's thumbs down 👎 but che-che likes it. The portion for frosting n peanut butter is really little.



25th July 2016

My really really super ugly bread. Suppose to try Rilakkumma but I can't seem to melt the white cooking choco n melting the compound choco will only lead to wastage.





25th July 2014

Oh man....

..she's so tired that she .....

SNORED?!?!




25th July 2013

Kids do the darnest thing.

Girls keep bugging us for new coins when we get them. Y are they collecting them when it's what we're currently using.

When I said they should be keeping our old notes n coins instead

… I wished I kept my mouth shut!



25th July 2013


My lazy style version of chicken katsu-don

25th July 2012


我们又被骗吗?All clear as told by doc, no problem

Confirmed I'm the first one out. 🤣

In the first place, I don't even think I'd even take my time out just to grab the application form





24th July 2025

Just because I bought green apple to make rojak, I end up having to deal with the remaining apples. So i decided to make my fav fruit combo (green apple, carrot and starfruit) i usually drink from drink stalls.

And now that I bought carrots and starfruit, I think | will have to drink that tomorrow and maybe the next day.

#cansupermarketsjustselllooseitems#






Usually for my viva juicer, I cut more than 3 apples and 2 star fruits. But I forgot this doesn't extract the fiber so ...



I end up with a huge batch of "I still can see unchopped carrots 🤣 fruit juice.

Haha! My agar-ration is wrong.



This cup and the metal huge cup. I'm so full now 🤣. And then I wonder why I need to make trouble for self to cut, to soak in salt water, blend and then I need to wash Ms Thermie when I can just munch the fruits and 🥕 like that.

Need to munch 3x, mouth will be tired, ok I'm convinced blending them is easier




24th July 2025




哈哈

Very interesting to watch these videos.

Something abt the amt of clothings for a 7 day trip....eh..... they'll be shocked if they see what | pack for a 18-19 days trip.

Haughed when it came to the part where customs sneak check luggages, if they ever open ours they'll be shock to see the amount of snacks. Can't remember which flight but the girls were carrying lots of gummies (maybe it was Japan?) in their haversack and once from Germany where Aricia Ting haversack was filled with her fav Haribo. The security person just burst out laughing. One toy and many many Haribosssssss.   





24th July 2017

Verdict: Torturous 1hr sitting in clinic hearing kids screaming and crying. Ok, so now I think I'm appreciative of lil' one's 1hr of constant yakking.



24th July 2017


Piano examiner looks friendly. I hope he'll be friendlier and generous with his grading.



24th July 2012


Study table too cram already, so little girl gets promoted to own table behind me so easier for me to supervise. Problem is - she likes to push the table forward; Che-Che likes to move her chair towards me, I'm stuck in one corner



24th July 2011


God bless your soul, father-in-law.



24th July 2011


Oh my! Che-che will miss school on Wednesday. She has been looking forward to her Learning Journey.

Double heartbreak! The girls already had to miss a friend's birthday party this afternoon.
