Ada yang tak kena ?

Came across this video and felt something is wrong and asked brother to reconfirm what I feel are mistakes.

  1. she didn't check ABC. Which many also commented it seizure not cardiac arrest.
  2. maybe she watch too much emergency room or hospital dramas but who would stride over the body like that? Usually the body is across you. But I mean I also thought that perhaps sometimes nurses/doctors may need to jump on a moving trolley and perform compression while staff wheel patient into room. Got such scenerio or not? Maybe I watch too much emergency room shows 😂? But wait! I think SQ also have to do in such way if passenger along the aisle. But hor…. I’m honestly not going to stride over a passenger with the kebaya slit revealing my panty. Free show for pax sitting around. 
  3. Even so, I feel her legs weren't even firmly on ground. No stability. Bouncing up and down.
  4. hand position is wrong. All her fingers touch the chest. I can't make out from video if her fingers were interlocked. But the first 2 compression, noticed she moved, so she wasn’t steady at all. 

Was it a moment of trying to act she knows coz she watched it on TV? She saw people press press so just anyhow follow? Just like how some people who never learn swimming just copy what others do and will say draw a big watermelon infront of you when trying to swim breaststroke.

I may be wrong in my observation, so will appreciate if any medical personnel here can correct me if l'm wrong.


I've said a few times that I wanted to learn how to use the AED. Coz in SQ only the senior crew (then) can handle it. I also wanted to refresh my CPR techniques. All I know is that compression-ventilation ratio that I was taught (15:2) has been changed to 30:2 since I dunno when.

My condo conducted that for residents before but I didn't go coz had something on. Anyway, when I saw the pictures they posted, I noticed at least 1-2 ppl had whole hand on the dummy. Was there any correction done? I'm really not sure.

Yah, now I need to find exactly where the AED is located in our compound if there is one. So my point is, if you dunno CPR please stand aside.

Don't sukat sukat do and break the ribs. Then again, it's good if at least someone in the family learns. If I need CPR at home, honestly speaking nobody will help me 😅.

So far my family has only been briefed on how to use the fire extinguisher at home. Yup! Another must have at home. Hopefully no need for it.






So proud of myself

I’m so proud of myself. I managed to install a new toilet seat cover in the common toilet. Yay! 

Took me 15 minutes just to figure out one side, lots of talking to myself too. No instruction manual at all but some common sense on how to secure the latch. Tho I did made 2 mistakes until the third time I figured how the angle of the spare parts should be. 
Wasn’t easy to reach the two sides too. The shower screen is in the way on the left; the wall and toilet paper holder is in the way on the right. 


At least now it’s secured and won’t move around. 

I wanted to fix the manual bidet as well but it doesn’t look that easy so will ask the pro to help me next time



Do I need this?

Came across this app in App store and found it so hilariously funny. Do I even need this? 


For someone who sleeps a lot in the plane. Eat sleep pee walk and the cycle continues. Only drink water, no tea or coffee. Ok maybe the occasional coke or sprite when I needed something carbonated. 

Reminded me when S asked me was my flight bumpy. I gave her that ‘why r u asking me this question?’ look. I slept thru 🤣🤣. I love turbulence when I’m sleeping. I slept more than I was awake during that long flight.

Graduated - *late post*

We're so proud of this girl.

She surprised us with her excellent results so all I can say is "at least she made daddy's hard earned money worth it".

Now she has to move onto her next journey to 去赚钱. 😜

Congratulations my 赤ちゃん number 1. #finalyear#



Graduation ceremony in the US is so loud and happening.

They had this thing where we can leave messages. I did mine in a haste as it was only 15mins to commencement.

I cannot be writing 'daddy, mum, Aricia, ah yi, da gu gu, gu zhang, Mama, Dua gu etc...' I wouldn't be able to send my message out in time. Maybe won't have time to project the message out.

One message wrote "what's for dinner tonight?" -that was so funny.

Everyone cheered for their graduand, I also cannot lose out. People around me were in huge groups of more than 6. So when this two people next to me started cheering everyone around us laughed and said they're loud. When it came to Che-che's turn... must give credits to SQ evacuation training

9. They too said my

cheer is really loud, louder than the 2 of them

Most importantly at least one of us is there for her ceremony.

* I even commented to mom.👩 From primary to secondary and then JC I've been seeing blue school uniform. I thought l'll have a break from blue. Then turns out uni convo gown is also blue!




So I didn't know she's allowed to join the ceremony in

SIN too. She had 2 ceremonies. This time her daddy, duagu and mama is able to attend.

Poor lil' one has to be in school so couldn't go.

Audience in SIN is conservative and ceremony is not 隆重.




* realised the video made all the pics too small, repost with just pics *

Out of her clique of 8 ppl, 5 have graduated. Not sure if they will be able to have a group photo next time when the remaining 3 graduates. They will have to rent their gowns if they want, Che-che has to buy hers that's why we chose to wear that for the commencement, save

money on rental.




“Who ate my food?”

Poor che-che. She has her snacks suddenly disappearing at home 🤣. 

She saw this Biscoff in NTUC and wanted to try. The first pack, she only ate 2 pieces and then the rest “suddenly disappeared”. Lil’ one was sitting at the dining table and she smiled. 

The second pack she bought, she ate one and the next day “why my biscoff is not here anymore?” Again that small guilty girl looked on. 

This is the third pack and she hasn’t opened yet coz … history may repeat itself again. So what is she going to do with this? Frame it up? Open 5years later to see what’s left? 


Yakun and Mister Donut had a collaboration for the National Day. We passed by one Mister Donut prior to lil’ one’s therapy on 30th Aug so bought some. I bought 2 Kopi pon de ring as she wanted to try one. 
The next day I thought she had eaten hers, took the last one and ate. I let the man try it, he just mentioned “I tried a little already.” so I thought maybe Che-che offered him, confirmed she has eaten it. Happily I ate the chewy donuts. Few hours later, she came out and opened the box and exclaimed “who ate my Yakun donut??!”, then saw the paper wrapper evidence left in the trash bag. House was noisy with us speaking in our chorlor loud voice “I thought you ate already, so I ate.” Turned to look at the man and corrected him  “you ate the whole donut, it wasn’t a little.” But I mean it’s okay, we weren’t going to kill each other just for the donuts. 

5th Sep - she bought the donuts after meeting her friend in Tampines. I told her to get the non chocolate for daddy as he doesn’t like chocolate. Fortunately they still had the collaboration on so she managed to get her kopi pon ring. I told her to finish it first if she didn’t want anyone else to eat it. Eventually her kopi ring is safe in her stomach BUT the next day….“who ate my one and only strawberry pon ring?!” 
Haha! Why is she so unlucky getting her food snitched so many times?  
* it was hubby who ate it. Huh? He never liked any form of chocolate what. 






Huh?

HELLO?! I said I forgot password and reset and you keep asking me for my old password. I leave blank for obvious reason and still can say it's invalid.

If I remembered my old password, will I want to reset it?

DUH!




Next milestone - she's got a job

Not disclosing where but after her job- hunt in June (?), I'm so glad the last 3 months of worry (mainly it's me I think) is finally over. 终于可以放心了。

When did she start her job hunt?
I think she started her job hunt in early June or maybe slightly later since we only arrived back in Singapore end of May.

I must admit I was pretty worried on how long she would take to find a job since the job market is not that favourable to job hunters now. Many jobs now are in contract basis. Gone are the days when jobs are on permanent basis, and you basically leave when you want to leave.  

Funny girl
So in the beginning she applied for anything and almost everything from part-time to intern to full-time. Of course ideally is to secure a full time job but the job market is saturated. The part-time jobs asked if she can work full-time, but those are jobs she didn’t really want. Internship offers came but she was at the same time waiting for the full-time job news if she was selected. She wasn’t successful but she also turned down the intern offer. 

Most hilarious thing #1 was she applied for a job in daddy’s company and she put his name as referral. Muahaha! We told her she can’t do that coz there’ll be a conflict of interest. Hubby found out when he had to go through a list of applicants and saw his daughter’s name. 🤣

Hilarious thing #2 - she applied for online shopper in NTUC and asked me what kind of job is that. She don’t even know. Asked her why is she fighting for jobs with all the old aunties like me? 

Hilarious thing #3 - she and her SIN uni friend were so bored at our home and they both applied for cabin crew. I’m not sure how the whole interview works now BUT she was selected to go for the next stage but her friend wasn’t Her friend is better looking lor …. So I really wonder how they sieve the candidates. Nope! She is not interested in being a cabinet crew. Kowtowing to passengers with a nice friendly smile is not her thing. Moreover she told me “I don’t want to serve others. I want other people to serve me.” 🤣🤣🤣



On 23rd July when she was in Penang with her US Uni friends, she sent this message to me. She had a good laugh

Oh! She did apply for pilot in SQ (she has always wanted to be a pilot) but they replied to her they don’t need any at the moment. Will she apply again next time? She burst out laughing when she told me she also applied for ATC but they replied with a “they have better qualified applicants”. Ouch! Tactless reply. Then she asked me what does Air Traffic Controller do? Why need better qualification? Muahaha! She don’t even know what she is applying?! “Precision, someone who is alert of all the ongoing at the moment, minutes before and what’s coming up. To prevent aircraft’s from going into each others’ path.”  

I really have no idea what her path will be like. Guess she has no idea herself too so will take the time to discover herself. 


One holiday after another

When we got back from US, she went to BKK with 2 of her SIN uni friends, she tagged on my last minute FUK trip and then went PEN with her US uni friends. So at a point I was a little upset that she hasn’t started earning but kept spending money. But yah, I get the point from her and friend, S, that she should travel before she start work. Anyway…

Offer
So I’m glad when on the 5th Sep (Thu) at close to 3pm, she messaged to inform that she was offered a job. 感恩观世音菩萨. 
Friends all got job offer after 6 months of looking around, so I should be glad she got hers in 3 months. Or maybe it’s a “she just happen to be there when they needed staff”

Starting job on
For the record, she chose to start work on 23rd Sep, she only have last 2 weeks of freedom when she made the choice on start-date . 

Onward to her next milestone. The 可爱小冬菇头 is finally earning her own $$. 

What to buy?
Asked so many times if she needed to get work clothes but she keeps waving me off. Coz if want to do I need to hurriedly bring her to get clothes before I leave for Korea. Hubby initially thought I was overtly anxious and mentioned that “nowadays work place also casual”. True, there’s no need for suits (but I still like them coz it looks more professional looking.) but she’s a T-shirt and shorts person so she do not have enough work clothes. 

* edited : 
On 14/9 hubby asked her if she needed to get shoes. See! we’re even more kancheong then her. She just don’t care. Sigh…. 算了吧!我可以省了这笔钱。

Prepared angpow for her with the amount $388 - 愿她工作升了又发发发. However you want to interpret the 2 gold coins but I didn’t have anymore $2 note 🤣. 
On the eve of my flight (15th Sep), gave it to her together with daddy’s wishes for her.

Kiehl’s status - continue or not?

I do get a little confused exactly when is the expiry of my  Black Diamond membership. So when I received this, I thought ok my membership is still valid for another year from I dunno which month, maybe it’s Sep. 

Went to collect it today at Tampines Mall’s branch. And I chose this as my welcome gift. (Why did I get my welcome gift so late? I really have no idea. I thought I did receive a welcome gift early this year? Ehh…anyway my memory is failing me. Or maybe I collect my welcome gift late every year? 🤣)
Was then told if I want to renew for another year, I have to spend $252.20 before 8th Sep. Huh? So I haven’t spent so much this qualifying year, only spent $347.80. Which honestly, can be done easily when I purchase masks. But …. Now the huge problem is I buy them over the years to qualify as Black Diamond or to make up a few more dollars to get the XXX amount voucher to offset the other items. (Sometimes in a visit, I can have my bill split up). All these purchasing I end up with so many stuffs at home.  + our trips to US where the price is OMG! so cheap, I end up with even more stuffs at home. 



My points at the moment. If I don’t spend $252.20, I’ll be downgraded to Ruby 😄. Wah….quite 残忍. Usually people downgrade one level down, I downgrade double level. 






Unlikely I will make that extra purchase lah! I just came back from US with some items. Downgrade 就 downgrade 吧! Che-Che also made use of Black Friday sale where Kiehl’s price is macam like buying cheap things from Watsons like that. She bought huge bottles of calendula face wash. 
Then 有时买给她们, they also don’t use any moisturiser or serum. I’ll need to take all the boxes out to stock-take again. Perhaps should just finish whatever we have at home before I buy. For all you know, I may even be downgraded to the basic member tier for the next 2 years? 🤭

“mom!”

Life360 told me Che-che has arrived home at 10.19pm but where was she? 

@ 10.23pm I received a SOS call “mom! help me park the car.” 🤣 Like that also can. The car was in a sharp angle, I saw the predicament she was in, if she reversed further the right side mirror will smack the pillar. If she had moved the car to the left, she would hit the car who parked very close to the border of his yellow box. If she moved the car straight forward she would hit the car opposite 😂. Never mind 老娘 parked the car in less than 3mins. I also dunno how to explain the way to manoeuvre the car, so you see the new way of teaching students in backside parking is not helpful especially when you have people not parking a proper distance from the border of their parking lot. 

I am reminded of the time I got my licence. I had to call dad to come down and park the car for me, and he was laughing and grouching “you mean every time I need to come down and help you park the car?” 

Simple dinner

I should really get back to planning meal menu and be more hardworking hor? Afterall I’ve been tagging some recipes from the internet, tho I must admit most times it’s nice to watch the cooking videos BUT not cook it 😅. 懒惰的人是这样的!

I needed to clear the tofus today, wanted to cook last week or was it last last week but was too lazy. Most times I think of perspiring out in the stuffy kitchen and then cleaning up the kitchen, washing and drying the dishes already tire me out. 

Mesdames et Messieurs, 
puis-je présenter votre dîner

lil’ one’s favourite 麻婆豆腐, her another favourite egg tofu which she said it tastes different today. That’s because I use a different brand oyster sauce and I minced the minced pork into a paste-like texture. The last dish is vegetables with lots of fresh shiitake mushroom fried with my sukiyaki keto sauce (haha! weird mix but coz I had the egg tofu with oyster sauce + sesame sauce so didn’t want everything to taste the same)I didn’t like the vegetables dish coz dunno what bitter veggie hubby bought 😂

I finished cooking 2 dishes at 4 and left it on the cleaned stove and cleaned kitchen top. Did the egg tofu steaming with the rice at 5+, dried the crockeries that I didn’t need anymore and showered. Rested a while before warming up the dishes minutes prior. Dinner served at 6.20++pm





Hassle free herbal drink

Time to boil chrysanthemum, infact two days in a row. Previously in April I boiled with the chrysanthemum in the mixing  bowl, it was so leychey to scoop out and sift the flowers bit by bit. Then pour into the container through a filter to remove black sendiments. 

For these 2 days, I tried with the chrysanthemum and everything else (except rock sugar) in the simmering basket. Saved a step for me. Basically all I need to do is to squeeze out the excess liquid from the flowers and herbs into the mixing bowl, use a sieve to pour the drink into a measuring cup with spout to catch small little petals. Thankfully it’s not a lot, coz basically majority are stuck in the simmering basket. After that use the filter as the last round of sendiments separation into the containers. I can infact skip the sieve if I want to and just pour into the measuring up from the mixing bowl. Anyway, the filter would be able to get rid of everything. 

A faster process definitely. Just need to experiment if splash guard would help coz I did experience splatters of water coming out from the sides of Ms Thermie’s measuring cup.

Review of powerbanks

I use powerbanks regularly even when at home. I use them especially more when I’m sleeping and need to charge my phone. Not having a power socket next to me is very troublesome (no way am I going to put extension plug in the room). 

I always have 2 powerbanks with me. Since last year or maybe the year before, I had both the Romoss and a champagne slim charger. I lost the slim charger in Suntec together with my recently purchased fast charging Philips cable with thick protection (when I went for the Boy n The Heron movie with che-che). Seriously I don’t know how I can lose it, it wasn’t on the cinema hall floor and not in the toilet. I did check the toilet before I left the cubicle. Must have dropped into the child seat thingy. Sigh..whatever!  Anyway, I was going to change the powerbank so no love lost on that. I like to use the slim charger when I travel or when I’m out and about. 


I like this Romoss charger as it has the LED display on powerbank life. It’s fast charging like champagny. Both didn’t come cheap. If only they have a slimmer version of this Romoss with whatever specs I need, I would have bought another. Ratings : 9.5/10


With champagny gone, I was looking for slim power banks. Must be slim and good power, not those will mati after a 3hr charge. Couldn’t find any in Challenger. Romoss didn’t have anything I was looking for, suddenly there was a huge stock and varieties of Valore’s powerbanks. 
Finally found  this RosyG in Shoppee, perhaps the price would have set the alarm bells right? It’s slim - what I wanted. But when I got it, it feels like some cheapo dunno from which jungle Chinese factory with no QC. I can’t even turn off the charger when I’m done charging. The button is a small little thing jutting out on the top, looks like it’s designed by some kindergarten kid. There’s a blue light at the top that supposedly indicate the lifespan BUT from Day 01 I couldn’t even see the blue light coming from which dots. They all litted up 🤦🏻‍♀️. I was quite forgiving about this flaw, anyway once battery 🪫 then I’ll re-charge lor! And usually I just needed it for outside use. I usually don’t stay out that long outside. It did serve its purpose for a while until I noticed it depletes out so fast. I can barely charge my phone on a fully charged power bank. It gets hot too so I’m kindda worried if it’ll start a fire 🔥. For the price I paid, it’s inevitable that it’s the short lived powerbank of all the powerbanks I have. No need to bury and give the respect, I’ll just throw it down the proper lithium battery disposal bin. 

Ratings : 3/10. I give a bit of points coz it served me for a short while before it started to heat up. 


I do receive emails from Nitecore as I purchased a spotlight torchlight from them before (I never got a chance to use it at all. It’s always so cold in the NParks to try it out. With dunno how many lumens, I would definitely be able to see the drop off and prevent a fall from the cliff 😂. 
Anyway, one day I noticed they have this slim power bank with atas shell in their email. 
I brought this for my May and July holidays. Although this doesn’t have the LED display, it can be indicated by the blue light on the top on its lifespan. And the blue light is very clear. 

Ratings : 10/10. ❤️❤️❤️ With this price I paid, it had better be a perfect 10. I just ordered another one more and will junk RosyG away. Will be bringing 2 portable batteries with me for my next trip.

Interesting

I didn’t know they have this stone wash slab in Mexico. So was the pioneer invention that spurred on with the wooden scrubbing board? 


Last year I came across in Taobao a table top with a washing corner prior to the mini renovation. I thought it’ll be so cool to have one in my toilet above my washing machine so we can do whatever small little handwashing there instead of doing it in the toilet and then transferring dripping wet towels to the laundry room to spin dry the towels. 
If I had a bigger room, I would do a proper laundry room. I’ll have this built-in and some in-built laundry baskets for dirty clothes etc.. can only daydream coz we will never have that much space in our home. No, actually I think if I had used the yard area behind where the washing machine is supposed to be, I’m able to do a sink there. But it’ll look cluttered behind. 

Out of curiosity this year I went to check the price. Woah! Selling in Shoppee for $700 when it’s RMB 700 in Taobao 

Think this is some stone? Look at the price difference!



Happy

Since Che-che was going to get the new なにわ CDs, I tagged into her Rakuten (something like vpost) cart. 

I have no idea if the number of crockeries I bought previously was enough, so ordered extras. 


These are what I bought during our July trip. I’ve been wanting to get it for a long time, so finally caved in. 


This sakura Totoro tableware came in Feb 2023 according to a third party website but somehow I had a feeling I saw this in our Taiwan 2022 trip. 

I love its simplicity compared to other designs I saw before. Read more about this range HERE. 

These are examples of the other designs which didn’t make me want to take a second look. Too many designs on it; too complicated.

These are sold in Singapore. Thankfully they do not carry the items I bought. 😜


My items arrived today after having placed order on 9th Aug. We delayed the shipment anyway so it had nothing to do with their slow service. 
Had to keep everything into the cabinets quickly. So basically ordered 2 plates, 2 bowls, 1 of each design of the lacquer like bowls, 2 small plates as saucers for the cups and a new snack bowl. All for ¥16900 + 1690 (tax) = ¥18590



They are really very careful with their packing.
Actually it’s no surprise how attentive the Japanese are. When I first bought the items in Dazaifu, they packed my items in bubble wrap. 
I paid for extra cushion packing in Rakuten. 



Collecting dust only

Last year while in the process of the mini reno, I came across some interior designing. Nowadays the theme is the nice japandi. My type of theme as I don’t like dark colours in the house. However there were some that has the fluted design which I don’t like. Tho it looks better than this panel in my dining area, I hate the cleaning. Gotta make sure small tiny spots are cleaned and it’s not easy. I’ve seen lizards crawling into that space and so I’m also frightened to clean it sticking my fingers in there not knowing that I was going to accidentally touch a lizzie or not. 

Why can’t they give me a flat surface? 


Weird thing in the dining area. Why can’t they just do one whole piece with mirror and then a side border. It’s so out of the blue with this dark coloured wood, not the same as the shoe rack





I'm a weirdo

I thrive under pressure, I think. Haha! With only 2 weeks to departure I'm beginning to panic. 

The study lofi music didn't have any influence on me BUT the moment I had Christmas fireplace music on, it's research and type type type type. I do get a little distracted sometimes but it's very minimal. 

I was hoping to finish the last 2 tourist spots on Sunday afternoon and get it printed out together with some forms I need to fill up for mom. But no... looks like I can't print out on Sunday. I just researched and then get so distracted over other things. Weather was uncomfortably hot, I was sitting infront of the fan but still didn't motivate me even with lofi music beats that claims - ''might boost your mood, which might help motivate you to focus on the task at hand.'' Bullshit lor!   

I moved to the room in the night with the aircon on. However with the position of our aircon in the room, it's blowing my left ear and left side of the face which can get really cold. 

So now armed with hubby's headset playing this : 


Accompanied by Totoro and my lavender essential oil to calm my mind. My mind is in a whirl now. 

My blanket covering my head, shoulder and arms in an uncomfortable Ikea foldable chair (we should change to an office chair man!) which makes my butt hurt. Maybe that will motivate me to finish work fast. *wink* I'm doing what I need to do. I think I will be able to plan everything by 3hours. Anyway I have been sleeping at ungodly 3+ am or sometimes 5+am getting more distracted than anything. Sigh..... too many worries (not related to holiday) on my mind.

Left with booking the hanbok rental on her birthday for photography. And confirmation on sky capsule tickets in Busan. I should be done. Then it's only left with packing. But I think I should be able to have it printed out tomorrow night and close all the tabs which had been left idling in my laptop for days. 28 tabs at the moment. I have't shut down the laptop for more than a week already. Then once that's done, I'd need to clear more phone storage space. iMOVIES!

You know what I'm doing now with the music and blanket over my head just reminds me of the days I was studying in the hotel room during my flying days. At least the table in the hotel room is usually larger that I can put my drinks and snacks next to me. If the chair gets uncomfortable, I'd usually grab a pillow and sit on it. Moreover I don't get that easily distracted last time, maybe now coz' sometimes I see things around the house that needs to be done so I tend to put the planning or computer work aside. Anyway, time to head back to planning.    

** edited - I went to bed at 5.31am just when I heard a pet rooster crowing with a “zou shan this is your wake up call”

Sigh…..

Just don’t understand why some people can ask the silliest  questions. Did they expect people to spoon feed them information? Find lah! If you can find the time to type into FB, you might as well look for answers yourself? It’s the type into search engine time, researching for travels in foreign countries has never been so easy. 


Fish! Why the liner “anyone found a solution”? Can’t you just call your airline first? They must have dealt with this many times to advise you what to do. Or just find some other solutions yourself, unfortunately in situations like this there will be extra cost. We have no choice but to suck it up and swipe our card if need be. This is the reason why I usually buy a few more extra days of my SIM card for unforeseen delays. But I’m blessed 观音菩萨 has been watching me in all my travels


Excuse me! Know something called Google map? or rather if you’ve done your research well, you should know that Google map doesn’t work in Korea. You need to download Naver maps. Which means if one wants everything to chop chop fit nicely in their travel plans, they would have done all their research prior to leaving their country. 
Afterall most people usually plan their holiday at least half a year before, more than enough time for you to do your research. Planning for holidays has never been so easy with the access to tons of information from the internet, from YouTube videos now. 
I must talk about last time - last time I had to go to the library to borrow books to do my planning. If the guidebook has so little pictures, I can’t even visualise the place. At least now I can always do a street view on Google Map to recognise places, so easier for me to guide the family along. 


Oh! Did I mention I always get so pissed when people keep asking where to get Suica card, where else to get the card etc..? No Suica card will die meh? Yes. I get it that it’s easier to travel with the card, one don’t need to queue to buy tickets all the time. But if all fails, then no choice hv to buy tickets everytime you take the train or bus lah! Are you going to stay in your hotel throughout your stay then? Or walk? 

But this takes the cake. How the heck we know how much you’re going to travel?! If you know you won’t go to Japan that often to keep in your card or phone then don’t top up so much. It’s common sense right? Or if you want to save the hassle of topping up all the time, then clear the remaining amount in the conbinis or shops that accept Suica card for payment. We may travel to Japan more often coz of its proximity to us but still I only have ¥3815 in my card which is not a lot. 



Check with your hotel! Make use of the free wifi to search for answers. Readers may not reply your questions that fast, I’m sure you’ll get your answers from the staffs there faster. 


Ok, auntie finish gossiping liao. Time to end this blog  entry 😂.
