On This Day - (19th July) #Reminders from FB#

19th July 2025

19/7/25

Was craving for cheng ting on Thursday but remembered I have peach gum at home and decided to cook instead. If can tahan tahan until today to cook means I could infact go without it. I can't say about chocolates, i dont think I can tahan that long.

Soaked the peach gum before I left home ysta. Aiyah!

Pity I couldn't cook for K and LL ystd coz I have to clean the peach gum. Ah nia take a long time to clean. (However I think I can't clean too as it didn't puff up that much when i checked on the two bowls when i arrived home with them.)

Cooked two portions - one for the girls to bring to bro tomorrow, another portion for us.




19th July 2025

My girls never grow up 😂

The toys have evolved 🤣. Che-che's first Leapfrog toy was a magnetic alphabet thing which i stuck on the fridge. She puts in a letter and presses on it.

They will read out the letter and the sound. She would always move her body like a pendulum, standing on one foot each time and the other sticking out 45deg.

Look at the Leapfrog toys now - coffee maker, soft serve dispenser and many more.

Her cheapo cashier toy only had numbers she told me.

While che-che was talking to me abt her cashier toy i spotted baby Aricia playing with a baby toy 😂 !

18/7/25

Finally met up with Karina after so so many years.

Was happy to know that she's staying so close to me now, along the same street.

It's never easy to maintain friendship within thr cabin crew as people come and go but it just did for us. We lost touch along the way coz all of us were busy with our own lives but somehow this friendship stands the test of time. I am so grateful for these beautiful ladies. We had so much to catch up on with Karina.Coz they don't update their FB as much as I do 🤣 so I have lesser things to update about myself.

We talked over dinner, then a drink and finally when Luckin gave us a hint and turned off their lights I buay paiseh asked if they wanted to come over to my house. Familiar and so comfortable with them (we used to go to each other's room) that i didn't mind them seeing my messy house as I was WIP with re-lining shoe shelf, scanning stuffs to throw, changing the dehumidifier beads as I tidy each cabinets.

House is really messy now. At one point we stood in the yard and talked with the bras and panties in our view 🤣. Anyway we chatted until 3am, I didn't know we chatted until that early in the morning we just had so much to talk about.

Hopefully our next meeting won't be a long wait.

Thank you for the lovely time!



Now all in our 50s but in our hearts and minds we were still stuck in our 20s





Footnote written in 2026 :

It's been a year K and LL. We should meet up again.



19th July 2024

Guess who was onboard my flight? I should be the most difficult passenger and ding dong ding dong her. "I want teh o siu dai, milo dinosaur with exactly 100 grains of sugar" Haha!



Chatted at the door area, before meal service. Nice to catch up with her. I haven't met her for many years.



She kindly packed some biz class snacks for her, tho I told her she only wants the EY's nuts. "She likes these? So cheap."- pointing to the nuts and gave a funny look.

Still she cannot beat the previous flight where the LSS packed a lot a lot of popcorns for us.



Footnote written in 2026 :

She only likes EY mixed nuts so you know what to do when we meet 😉



19th July 2024

Honestly .... I'm sick and tired of らめん, so it's fried rice. But I miss my mee siam and mee rebus 😂





19th July 2023

After a long break from cooking (not that I miss or like cooking 😂), it's back to using my under utilised Ms Thermie in a new kitchen.

18th July -

Sent che-che's luggage for wheel replacement. I was shocked when the person before us wheel replacement would take her 4-6wks. Fortunately for us, we'll be able to collect it next week.




The rubber thing came off in the train station. Che-che ran to stop me from walking and went back to retrieve the rubber. Haha! I was trying to imagine her in a Mr

Bean scene running after a running wheel.



Ppl infront and behind us have PPS luggage tag, she has her Harry Potter's luggage tag 🪄


Footnote written in 2026 : 

Those people around me said they just took out their luggage for their travel, meaning they haven't travelled since the pandemic. Wah...I think they not travelling for 3 years is 太久了.😂 They can tahan such a long time.


19th July 2022

Haven't brought mom out for lunch for a long time.

Huge portion, can pack for their dinner. My lunch is little coz nothing much I can eat here.



Che-chef's huge cake. Omg! I took a really small piece to try n now having a headache ... seriously!




19th July 2021

Another failed sunflower 🌻 attempt. Bought new seeds from shop in GBB. Will try again when I'm over and done with grieving 😭



19th July 2021


Haven't been here a long time.

Dale Chihuly display

Never went into the art museum in Seattle so stepped in here to see abit of his works.




19th July 2017

OMG! The girls are still doing dunno what math project? This is past her bedtime. Waiting n rotting outside her friend's house. Might as well don't go back home since close to school. She can save the 15-20mins journey to school the next day.

But...those girls...taking bus home after that?

Won't their parents worry?



19th July 2012


Half ready for school next year. Must get white blouse for her.


Footnote written in 2016 :

4 years later, she's gone from size 26 to now 30. I thought she'll never grow 😬. Current pinafore tends to drop at the shoulder, she hates it (says she can't run much coz she gets so frustrated having to stop to pull it up. Good way to make her stop running amok) But knows she can't wear previous size coz it's short even after untacking.


Footnote written in 2024 : 

Heehee! There's no stopping. Cute lah this girl... run around like siao charboh

18th July 2024

If only I have a longer time here listening to the sound of nature. It's nice to しんりんよく.

Must ask big boss for longer leave, mini boss #2 for approval 😂. If this trip was longer, lil' one's lip would pout until drop on the floor.




Same same pic but playing around with the long exposure function and abit colour editing. Yucks! I'm really so lousy in doing these editing stuffs.



18th July 2021

"In view of the updated Calibrated Easing of SMM for sports and physical exercise dated 17 Jul 2021, we will be suspending our classes from 19 Jul - 8 Aug

2021."

All the chee kor peks lah! U happy happy make whole Singapore not happy.



18th July 2021


Something new i learnt. I was about to scold who keep wetting the leaves 😬

"You won't see a flood of water being released, just a droplet or two on the tips. This will fall off or evaporate, and you won't see it happen again until conditions are once again right."

Does this mean the condition is not suitable in the toilet? Should I bring it out for a day to ☀️ tan? Or perhaps put under the disco (grow) lights?





18th July 2017

Wilma Cheng, teach Fitz n Leia do this



18th July 2015
*friend Richard tagged me for this post*


18th July 2014

It's a sad news to wake up to.

RIP to all onboard.

At the same time, my prayers for my flying ex-colleagues to be kept safe.



18th July 2013


Waiting for 9.59pm. Missed so many of their concerts coz of my timing or didnt know abt it until last minute.

So, now well-informed I'm getting ready.



18th July 2013


Apart from the size that differentiates the different primary level kids, u can tell them apart today.

Doesn't apply to all tho)

Lower pri - very keen to don traditional costume

Mid pri - some wear; some shy

Upper pri - "I'm crazy if I'm seen in one. " They start to roll their eyes n say "what's so nice abt this??"

They forgot they used to be vy enthusiastic abt it.



18th July 2013


Cutie nonya.

(Ah doh! Still can wear the same kebaya 2 yrs later?!?!)



18th July 2013

She lost one kerosang!!!!! Argh!!!!

And true to what I thought so, older girl said majority of the girls wore sarong kebaya.



18th July 2012


Arrrr! Mei-mei's Chanel die die already. Days ago, I noticed it wasn't drinking any water but was eating.

Seems tired all the time coz normally I'd see a small lil nose sticking out of the cage when l'm near. I force-fed it with water n then noticed it had the same skin problem as Gucci used to hv, put medication for Chanel. Every now n then feed water.

Today, force feed water n walked away. Half an hr later, wants to clean cage n put medication I noticed its not breathing anymore.

Wonder how mei-mei's reaction would be.

It's too soon, Chanel was such a cute lil hamster.

I love this song, somehow I can only relate to a gondolier singing this while 🚣‍♀️ not in a concert hall

Was looking for a video in YouTube and came across this Barbie 12 dancing princess clip. Oh my! The girls used to watch the Barbie Princess movies on DVD.

Can't really rmbr but was this che-che's favourite one then?

All I rmbr was the girls were twirling and dancing in the house. They were so adorable then altho I must admit that lil' one kept twirling around each time so much that she gets dizzy , stop laughing and pause, standing wobbily, start laughing and then continue twirling around again.





17th July 2025

First time I wind down the window and scolded a male cyclist. He can ride without looking and he has a young child with him. And bugger still can smile like he didn't know he was that close to an accident.

#%^*!!


17th July 2021

I should answer this on behalf of che-che

Mama Mia 🏖️

She would always re-play what she had recorded.

That usual place where she will sit - the armrest - and then she'll start singing  🎤.If it so happened there was a replay on cable, she'll run out from her room and sit herself down at the armrest and sing again.

Goodbye ice cream maker, you've only worked 4 or 5 times in your short life.

Now thinking if I should buy it again.

#rip#


17th July 2017

Fed up! Been a faithful Epson user since and this is the first time I'm encountering this. Mind you, I haven't been printing much with this printer. If I were to compare with the previous printers that survived all my flashcards printing, this printer has been given the TLC treatment.

Does this mean that products are getting lousier?



17th July 2015

Seriously? This kind of book can make it to the shelves? Do they ever vet through?

Huge appetite man!




17th July 2014

#15 - She told teacher her fav fruit juice is apple juice from Swensens. She even drew the same cup as Swensens use.


17th July 2013

Lil' one can't wait for tmrw (I mean today). She's going to try out at the ballet school. She's so excited, kept saying she has to buy the costume, she's going to ask her new friends how much is the costume etc...

The teacher n guy gasped when they heard what I said "3 years!! N u didn't let her try till now? ... But she's one persistent girl".

Makes me like a bad mummy.



17th July 2013

She looks so cute!! I hope my chorlor girl will walk and sit with poise after learning ballet


Footnote written in 2016 : Still chor-lor. Likes to sit with one leg on chair - kopitiam style. Haiz!




17th July 2013

Cham liao! Is there a Rent-a-shower or rent-a-bed facility around the East? Shower for lil' one; bed for me to collapse in exhaustion. my taxi-ah-lao lifestyle is back.

Tchr wants to give her 1-1 on Tuesdays so she can catch up with the rest of the class. Can't go back home from Mon to Wed.

Positive note: tchr said she was so happy and smiling all the time. Tried but can't catch up.

Well, as long as she's happy....


Footnote written in 2025 :

I'm just glad that those taxi-ah-lao & marking assessment books/exam papers days are over. #ihavearedpeninthecaralso#

Now is a different phase. Currently both working, ok lil' one on internship, you think can relax even more right? No...I was caught at last minute when che-che told me she's WFH today. And I was hoping I could grab lunch together with my Fight-Do fighters, end up I had to pack her lunch and go back home asap.

Becoz of that, I had to do my grocery run before class.

I need to cook their lunch and lil' one's dinner for tmrw tonight. Tell them to settle themselves and they're not enthusiastic abt it. Can i starve my girls?

I haven't pumped petrol yet, means less driving around now coz I refuse to send lil' one to/from work.

But poor gal has to wake up early to take a bus and comes home zombie-looking no energy no life in her 🤣. So it means chauffeuring has cut down for now until year-end. Yippee!




17th July 2013


Don't understand y some idiots open car door macam like their door made of gold, need so much strength to open. Literally slam into my car door.
