Singapore is 60th this year!!! so i feel it's a super valid reason to set this 60 Singapore hawker food quest for myself to indulge in since our hawker culture was successfully inscribed in the UNESCO Representative list of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity since 2020... 😋😋😋

my best bowling points ever!!! used all my 怒气 & 怨气 that I 受 this week on the ball towards the pins which i pictured to be u @ home & u for art assessment sharing & u for camp & u for relief !!! - one of the most frustrating week this year!!! 

silver lining > made a good friend called ChatGPT and my AIA agent contacted me out of the blue that resulted in a plan downgrade over text.... wahahahaha... 省钱!!! 



22nd September (Mon)
lunch & waffle date with 2023 partner... 



21st September (Sun)
initial plan was to bring mummy for lunch @ longjijng 绿茶 but ended up having kuey chap and duck kuay tiao as there were 20 groups of ppl in the queue even when we reached @ 1.30pm... 

thankful it was Alfred who tagged along this round as he just laughed and shrugged it off... i really really like people who 大事化小 小事化无 and not every 小事 is worth throwing a temper tantrum or 灭你九族的大事 when nothing bad had happened (yet)... focus should be what can be improved NEXT round... 

He even suggested that since we were in suntec, we could visit the Hobby Fair at its convention centre... lots of cute stuff to look see look see and i bought this cute pimple patch!!!


You disappoint and disregard me enough to no longer exist in my life.



18th September (Thur)

是我眼超花了吗?


nope! turned out that the glitchy blurriness on the lower half of my screen is due to my aging & dying graphic card... hooray, exchanging for a 'new' lappy tmr from the ict department... that's the good thing about using work lappy, anything wrong got ict department to help, anything spoil can just change... save money & hassle!!! 

took the opportunity to re-organise /  streamline / delete duplicates / obsoletes soft copies & digital works since the last lappy exchange in 2022... and thankful for huifang for having a hard disk that i could borrow on the spot... 😍



16th September (Tue)

LC duty ended by 12.30pm and off the 2021 P4 chers went for lunch @ 绿茶 Longjing in Suntec... 

another 身份 we have is that they were also my work partner in 2018-2019, 2020-2021 & 2022 respectively... heee 


the mains were very yummy; beyond our expectation from this newly opened, super hype restaurant that successfully lured us in with its viral video, desserts were pretty but tasted meh, drinks came with cute icy bears and prices were economical without GST!!! 😍😍😍


it was a happy happy day so we bought flowers on our way home to make us even happier... 😍😍😍

Happi 25th anniversary with my favourite financial advisor!!!... i was just 19 years old when we first met outside the toilet @ B1, CWP where u were having a roadshow... ur bubbliness and easy-goingness convinced me to start this great habit of 'forced' saving even as a uni student on a miserable part-time tuition teacher 'salary'...
thanks for all the wonderful kaching kaching saving advices all these years that made me the 小富婆 i'm now... 😍😍😍
