Shower of Blessings in October - my favourite month

31st October (Tue)

the start of daily iron supplement and this appointment @ HGP, that appointment @ KKH... 

nice-y on a day of mild discomfort & 认老 - ing... 😭😭😭

29th October (Sun)

although started to feel discomfort in the afternoon, i still went ahead to meet Angela and her friends for Horror Nights 11 @ USS... 😈😈😈

on the spot Halloween make up... 

we were 25 minutes early at 7.05pm yet we were nowhere near the front stage... we parked ourselves near the screen so that we could still 'watch' the Opening Scaremony... 

conquered 3 out of 5 haunted house, 1 out of 3 scare zones and watched both live performance by 10.10pm before my discomfort 'informed' me that i had enough for the night... bid goodbye to Angela and her friends only to be lured into the 4th haunted house on my own on my way out by the short queue... with Angela's 名言 "They cannot touch you!"... 我已经不怕鬼屋到可以自己一个人进去了!!! 😂😂😂

RWS 的兔兔们s 真的很万能... was dressed for Van Gogh Immersive Exhibition and now dressed for Halloween... 

25th October (Wed)

breakfast from Julia & Evelyn 

然后背着 mx 送的 Junlefont 大包包陪小朋友 VIA 去... 😍😍😍

23rd October (Mon)

an eventful day but i insist on counting my blessings!!!

(1) woke up on the wrong side of the body.... left neck + shoulder ache... blessing to have effective salonpas  @ home sweet home...

(2) upset a colleague with my poor command of English in my remarks... blessing that she didnt stay mad for long, else it would be awkward seh... 

(3) an uncalled for negligence on my part happened... double triple blessing that her adult was so understanding, accepted my apology and in turn comforted me... phew!!! 

(4) in my flustered-ness, i booked a Grab for home when i knew i was heading to National Skin Centre... blessing that driver confirmed destination before driving off... though paid double, i still got to where i was supposed to be at on time to meet up with 蔡妈咪 for her skin biopsy ... 

(5) got off 2 bus stops earlier from my blank then suddenly kanchiong spider mood on the way home from National Skin Centre... blessing was managed to clock steps on a day where i had totally no energy to go for my evening hamster walk... 

shall sleep early tonight to 补补元气 and so that a better tomorrow can come faster... 😂😂😂

22nd October (Sun)

Big Day Out to Singapore Flyer with mwh residents followed by volunteering 后的 tea & cake with mx @ Dal Komm... 

21st October (Sat)

hatchday lunch with lene @ The Blue Ginger, Great World City... 又是一顿 好好吃, 好好吃, 好饱, 好饱 的一餐, so full i suggested that we should walk walk around to 消化消化 after the sumptuous meal... 😂😂😂

this is the last instalment of my 42nd hatchday meet-up... really thankful & blessed to be surrounded by so many so many people who love me and willing to gift me their time to 东家长 西家短 over yummy food... 😘😘😘

20th October (Fri)

+1 蔡三宝 because of logistic then -1 amie due to work commitment and it became hatchday dinner with mcs gals & lala @ Shang Pin Hot Pot, Marina Square ... 吃到有点 food coma, 还被笑 that my eyes were only half-opened, just like Garfield's eyes... 😂😂😂

19th October (Thurs)

被 koped 掉 21/22 盒, 被送 another 五盒s... 😍😍😍

everyone was telling me "HIDE IT"... 

it's so funny that my adult life still consists of hiding food away from people seh... same same but different from yesteryears... it used to be locking tidbits away from the 3As... my 蔡妈咪 had fixed a lock in one of the kitchen cabinets to house the tidbits that could keep me awake & alert in the many many late nights of 临时抱佛脚-ing during the O and A level exams period... 😂😂😂

protecting the box of luv with my life and smuggling it home the next day... 😅😅😅

13th October (Friday)

a day of much luv.... choc from jeo, snack from huifang, prezzie from charis

egg tart from Jackie and snack from JX...

our kiddos set up a photo booth to capture pics for our class's graduation video... filter approved on a day where we went to work barefaced... 😂😂😂

12th October (Thurs)

（1） the act of 吃掉-ing my 21/22 粒s Ritter Sport Yoghurt Choco Cubes 闷出来的... 因为想了一个星期多, 问了很多人s, 还是没想通为什么会有这么 buay paiseh 的人呢???... 不管多好吃, 不管多喜欢, 也不能吃到我只吃到 1/22 粒 of 我的 prezzie 吧? 

（2） 还是是因为 ES's 的 mega luv luv leh??? ES bought me a huge 'cup' of super yummilicious & expensive gummies from Bears & Friends which i mega luv luv and couldnt stop eating till it got too jerlat day after day...

Hatchday dinner @ The Malayan Council with the nies ladies

i'm so 'smart' that i messed up my own hatchday celebration with the nies ladies !!! i had googled for interesting eating venues and 3-of-Cups caught my attention with its in-house tarot reading... we were chatting about fengshui last month during Mab's hatchday lunch so i tot this would be an interesting continuation... glanced through its menu online yet didnt register that all that are available are finger food and alcoholic drinks... no wonder Mab texted that she never knew that i was into drinking... it still didnt register when Laurice said that she wouldnt be driving... 😂😂😂

thinking it was a cool & happening restaurant with aircon, we were dressed prettily in long pants, dresses or wool... horror oh horror 1, we were led to an outdoor table and horror oh horror 2, none of us could find any suitable food &/or drink to order for dinner from its menu that consisted of ONLY 酒 & 下酒菜... 😔😔😔

apologised profusely for my blunder and off we went in search for a suitable venue to eat & chill for the night... 东问问, 西问问, all the indoor seating of nice restaurants in Haji lane were packed... we finally settled for an outdoor seating @ The Malayan Council based on Mab's recommendation... 

i proclaimed that The Malayan Council is THE MOST GENEROUS restaurant in the world !!! We ordered 3 mains, 5 drinks and 2 cakes. They gifted us a side, a bottle of alcohol-free champagne and 2 cakes!!! 😱😱😱

complimentary malayan wings as starters

very yummilicious mains; 

Salmon Ravioli

Butter Chicken Pasta 

Fish and Chips

was caught pleasantly surprise by the complimentary bottle of champagne !?!?!?!... i was like 真的吗?!?!?!  为什么?!?!?! 因为我们是美女s 吗?... heee

A colleague recently shared with me that time is the most precious gift anyone can give to anyone & i totally agree... Thank you for always making time for US...Cheers to 17 + 1 years of friendship!!! Luv you ladies!!!  😘😘😘... 

3rd round of surprise gifting were 2 additional slices of Chocolate Ovomaltine cakes on top of the ondeh ondeh cake and durian cake that we ordered !!! 😍😍😍

the cakes were awesomely sweet !!!! mad luv !!! Worth every calories !!! 

thanks Mab for these prezzies... 😍😍😍

feel so very blessed, very much loved & abit pretty tonight... heee
