Planner 2026 - Weekly Spreads

"artifying" the weekly spreads too since there's ample time and enthusiasm on my part... this 4 part layout works wonderfully for me since Jan this year so i'm just gonna continue with it... 


[ 2nd June ]

took inspiration from another Grant Wood's masterpiece; Young Corn for the remaining two weeklies of Feb... 




[ 1st June ]

no fanciful inspiration for Jan's weekly spread inspired by Jackson Pollock drip painting technique... 






[ 29th May ]
abit 跑边主题 for February... by right, the focus should be on Grant Wood's American Gothic but as i had added Addam's family gothic element into Feb's monthly spread, this T1W5 weekly spread focused on the gothic tree which i had so much fun sketching instead... 😂😂😂


made amend in T1W6 weekly spread with the Carpenter-Gothic house and pitchfork in Grant Wood's American Gothic  but i just had to add Cousin Itt & Thing from Addam's family in too... 😁😁😁

23rd May (Fri)

its successful marketing video lured us to Dong Qu for our meet-up!!! We were seated up at level 5 in the vip attic, an exclusive cozy corner just for the 3 of us and Ken who came later... 😍😍😍 


三位有点恐怖的美女 caught on cctv... heee


18th May (Sun)

it was on my to-do list to get a new phone since last month as i wanted a better camera phone for my up-coming Poland & Germany trip... 


saw this ad on Friday and immediately surf Shopee to see if this phone is available. The lite version in the 400 series is!!! And cost only $285 after all the voucher discount... it also comes in a really sweet marrs green that i like... 😍😍😍 


dont understand the specs so went youtube to watch its reviews!!! Sound and looks good enough for me... i like that it's lighter & thinner, has a bigger screen, takes nicer pics with the depth that i prefer and has the AI eraser feature that my current 3.5 years old Realme 7, which has 2 cracks now, no have!!! 


Well, i'm a proud owner of another XZ endorsed product... 

my new pretty Honor 400 Lite arrived today!!!...

 with a charger head which i was told is no longer a norm to come together with a new phone and 一对容易不见的 ear-piece... 😅😅😅



17th May (Sat)

had fun organising earrings on my new earring holder today!!! 


14th May (Wed)

having to work 😓

having to wake up at 6am to go to work 😓😓

having to brave through the thunderstorm at 6.30am to go to work 😓😓😓

having to endure 脚湿湿  for braving through the thunderstorm at 6.30am to go to work 😓😓😓😓


was seriously contemplating to summon all my ailments, discomforts, triggers & excuses just so that i could avoid all the 😓😓😓😓 then it struck me that i could avoid the rain totally by taking bus 147 or 165 from behind home sweet home to the interchange instead of the usual route that involves crossing the road rain or shine... 


What a revelation after staying in this place for 14 years!!! 



10th May (Sat)

a warm & humid morning of dances, taking pics with pika-pika, songs and colouring with the residents... 


蔡妈咪's day dinner @ Kin Kao Mai where everyone enjoyed the food lots... had chose this place as i tot 蔡妈咪 would enjoy the 老歌 歌台, instead the oldies reminded her of dad and she teared... 😭😭😭... i'm an ID-zero-one-T too!!! 

To Snowie: 
Happi 14th Hatchday... thank you for being with me for yet another year... continue to stay healthy please!!!

To Brownie:
小胖, 妈咪想你!!!



4th May (Sun)


😍😍😍



3rd May (Sat)

caught me by surprise when PAP candidate Darryl David and his team of entourage came to '拉票' on Monday night... first time seeing my MP face to face in my 14 years staying in this estate because i wasnt given enough 'lead time' to be not at home.... feel awkward having to make hi-bye small talks like these... 😅😅😅

4th time on PO duty... thankful for the more humane break time this round that made the 14.5 hours of work more bearable... 



2nd May (Fri)

celebrating two consecutive days of hamster walk walk with calories at tenderbest... 😂😂😂
