Wow! The same lady who grilled Hegseth.

10th July 2025

They gave 2 bottles of this collagen + royal jelly drink free with the recent 🍯 purchase. Not sure if I'll be pwetty after this or diabetic 🤣, it's so sweet! I had to drink two glasses of water to cleanse my palate.

Tomorrow l'll drink this again coz cannot let it go to waste 😆

10th July 2025

Someone, can't rmbr who, told me she always play walking/running trails when on threadmill. So I've been doing that for years whenever 1 am on the threadmill. Thanks to her suggestion, it doesn't make the walk or jog that boring, I even put the cycling ones when i go 'cycling' but ....my right knee usually cries in pain quite fast so I usually don't cycle or jog long, walk will do.

This view not that nice

This one much better. Now I need fan blowing at me to make it cooling. Better still, if I'm there in person 😉 coz

this is one of the trails I want to do in 🇨🇭

10th July 2023

Sightseeing in the heat is no joke, sightseeing in the rain is so troublesome

10th July 2023

My おみくじ says I will be super rich this year 😜

10th July 2021

Things that make me happy 😆 

New books arrived + one of che-che's book

That's it. Suppose to be doing things on the laptop but that can wait. Lemme play the 🎹 first.

10th July 2021

Weeks later when they've grown up a bit I took out 5 stalks of lavender from che-che's pot

and re-pot this. Gifting this to lil' one's tutor. The kind lady who gifted me a syngonium for Mother's Day.

She's really good with her fingers. She has experimented with my "going to discard click n grow basil n mint pods coz looks like dying soon" and revived them. They're doing so well under her tender loving care.

I'm not that creative enough to know how to make the pot nice so umm…..... it's a plain pot for her 😂 Hope she likes it.

What's left in che-che's pot

10th July 2015

Phew! Finally time to sit down and have my lunch.

难得. I don't have to leave midway while mei-mei is dancing to pick che-che up from school n then back to PP today - plus point. Which always leave me with neither-here-nor-there timing. Can grocery shop slowly today.

Minus point - I need to hang myself around here till che-che's dismissed from VJC at 8.30pm.

10th July 2014

Serious?!?!? She can still wear this 5 years later?!

10th July 2012

今天才终于做这些 suppose to be 云吞 but wrapped in

水饺 style。现在等两只豚鼠来批评。

On This Day - (9th July) #Reminders from FB#

9th July 2025

7th July (Mon)

Met up with S after | last met her in May (didn't wait 19yrs 😉). We stopped to smell the roses (literally) but I can only smell my perfume.

It was a great 5hrs of stopping to smell the roses with her. Over the years I've been so caught up with the family that I didn't have much time to meet up with friends, she included. I'm just glad we can still pick up where we left off, still as humourous as ever.

Thanks for the wonderful friendship and for many more years to come!

9th July 2024

Went into DIY shop in PP and told boss I'm looking for something called "be-leh-tik" and then I burst out laughing what's the actual name coz I used to hear my dad say "kyok hor wa be leh tik" (pass me the be leh tik in dialect)

Boss replied me "coz I'm in the same generation as your dad so I understand. It's black tape." Haha! Now it makes sense.😂😂

*edit* for some reason I always reach for whatever colour I see in the toolbox, it isn't always black.

Sometimes I get the colour correct; sometimes maybe the colour didn't matter coz will cover up. So he don't correct me. For the times when he need the correct colour after 1 passed to him the wrong colour, he'll tell me "pek sek", "ang sek", "ng sek". So I always thought it was pek sek be leh tik, ang sek be leh tik ….

9th July 2021

So interesting

9th July 2021

Finally changed the fake plants in the toilet, we had it in the toilet for 6 years!

Che-che said she wanted to choose the plants for the toilet. While I'm concerned about the height, didn't want too tall so it can slide under the same spot BUT she didn't want, said I allowed to let her choose what she wants.

As long as she don't ask me to hang plants in the toilets can already.

I like this though. I'm glad it's fake coz if it's real, it'll die within a year. And this will last an eternity

Changed to real monstera. Crossing my fingers it will thrive under my care. And I'd love to propagate this one day

The common toilet's old orchid

And the new real sansevieria. A reminder to self - must remember to move the pot when I need to open the cabinet.

Initially she chose this plant (only it's slightly shorter) and I said can't fit in the toilet.

Incase you want the name of this plant, it is cycas revoluta.

9th July 2021

Must talk about her lavenders. Growing well so far.

Still a long way more before we can see the flowers

The transplanted ones are doing well too!

9th July 2021

Che-che n I came home to see this! 2 boxes of greens. Locally grown greens sent over by hub's colleague.

Do check out their website : https://urbantiller.sg

Really too much veggies. So I gave to mom quite a lot of veggies, sent it over to her within 1hr, so it still remains a little fresh.

Can see all the greens on the dining table.

Coincidentally che-che and I came home with 2 pots of monstera n sansevieria. Now my house is too green

So beautiful. Need to do something with them. But I can't pot and put them outside unless I have no intention of consuming them.

So nice! Got coriander seed! I want to put this plant (hopefully I can do it) in my click n grow. Coz I had 3 failed attempts using their coriander pods.

Really headache thinking what n how to transfer the 8 mini temporary containers. And to where?!

Think just put it back n leave it under the disco lights with her lavenders. I'm going to procrastinate.

9th July 2021

Girls watching their NZ video.

They were so so cute

Altho they do fight, in some portion of the video I noticed how che-che would carry her sister and take care of her. But kids r kids, sometimes she also don't give in to her.

9th July 2020

In 2008 -> can't rmbr why che-che sent a letter to her sister. She declared her love for her sister (now?).

Wondering if the thing below the rainbow is an animal or human?

9th July 2016

Practicing piano after practicing her ballet

9th July 2012

Thanks Mag for the "glasses". She's been wearing this & happy that she has what Che-Che has too.

9th July 2012

Treatz is now closed. Shucks! Was craving for Mee Rebus.. Anyone knows where to find good Mee Rebus in Marine Parade?

9th July 2012

Lunch out with mei-mei

9th July 2011

Silly girl insist on wearing her new goggles for lunch.

A very late lunch.

9th July 2011

Lil' girl finally 'saw light' in her mental arithmetic n doing much faster now.

And now that she's doing faster, the term is ending.

Haha! Signing her up the next term.

Used to dread abacus n nd lots of encouragement/ scoldings from me. Persistence pays off! Both of us are really happy.

9th July 2010

The coolest way to cool down in this hot weather is to drink my effervesent Vit C in ice water, take a nice cold shower and stay in the aircon room. (Hub gonna freak out with the next utilities bill - hee!)

Power of music

 A soothing music in a nice air-conditioned room to make my ironing less dull

Miss this place

Instagram is not helping me, always stirring my weak heart

7/7/2025: #gbtb - Roses Romance and Jurassic Experience

Killing 2 birds with 1 stone.. Having a wonderful fellowship with long-time-no-see- friend Lily ..and visiting the beautiful flowers that both of us are so passionate about..catching up was totally not enough even though we had 5 hours of yakking . we need another session hor!!...

I must say the #cloudforest #JurassicExperience walk was really good with realistic huge robotic dinosaurs ...even a short presentation skit of introducing Blue . Hats off to the brains behind this adventure !!

Totally breathtaking! 🤩

S, time for our yearly meet. We're just like the cowherd and weaver girl like that

Don’t come to Singapore 😂

7th July 2023

Heard it coming, got camera ready and ...

What?! I really just got the back part of the train.

7th July 2020

Went to pack lil' one's and hubby's dinner at their fav fishball noodle stall in MTerrace. And hubby's instruction was to show the girls' face so they know the order. But I didn't, only che-che was with me, I didn't want to delay time longer as lil' one ended school late. So I really didn't know what was hubby's order, the assistant was a different lady. So told me it's #6. But after some time, a lady walked out of the stall from behind and I think she saw che-che (coz she wasn't standing close to me) and then she clarified "your husband's order is #4 right? The cook bend down to look at us and I must tell her the 大牌名字. I told them my hubby bring the 2 girls for breakfast in the morning, then they said they know

“小只妹妹".I replied them，”对！还有大只的姐姐".One big and one small, how not to forget them? And they know the order better than me coz they super fussy lor！#熟客#

7th July 2020

YES!! Very happy to receive this message. Before I start rolling into the studio next week, I think I should go and warm up my fat-muscle in relaxed mode this week.

good idea? But then I may end up sleeping

in longer

Pls have mercy on me, Dawn.

7th July 2020

Grandpa came by to see his grandkids. And he told me he's a better cook now, after CB. Yah, I told him I felt my skills was a little better too after CB. (Tho at the ending part, I was more like heck lah, just fry whatever shit I can find in the fridge. I was getting so tired. My poor family also dunno what they're eating lor!)

But his next few sentences really made me laugh.

"I can cook rice now but got burnt."

"I can cook 三辰肉 but got burnt."

" I fry garlic but turn black."

"I can cook porridge but got burnt."

Wah...he's more jialat than me. At least my porridge didn't burn.

7th July 2011

Omg! I just gave Che-Che a wrong answer...

Chinese HW. Cham lah!

Footnote written in 2022 : 

Hopeless mother.

So bad that lil' one even suan me now, you sure you can read the words?

Lil' one kindda lost confidence in me so much so that last night so happened that I corrected her intonation for a word, and she didn't believe me. She checked the dictionary and mother is correct afterall 😏. I told

her "although your mother's Chinese is not as good as yours but it doesn't mean that I'm really that lousy k?” 

7th July 2011

I have a personal reason for asking if everyone could put this as their status for 1 hour. I'm pretty sure I know the names of those who will. Think of Someone you know who has or has had cancer, or someone you lost from Cancer. My wish is that in 2011 they will find a cure. Will you post this for at least one hour in honor of those who have fought or are fighting cancer? I hope to see it in your status.
