27th April (Sun)
tagged along CY for super early journey into JB for petrol, engine oil and grocery shopping @ Giant...
but first breakfast... the 三姐妹 (butter, kaya & peanut butter) toast and fried boneless chicken mee rebus @ Roast & Coffee were both 👍👍👍, the teh could afford to be sweeter though... the icing on the cake was that the cafe was just opposite Hiap Joo Bakery...
friendly staff saw us peeping in at 6.55am and sold me two boxes of their famous banana cake, which many many people had raved to me about, even though the official opening time is at 7.30am...
26th April (Sat)
of sand art, dances & karaoke with the residents
25th April (Fri)

Harlina walked past with two trays of this mango pudding for her kiddos at 8am... "i want", i jokingly said and she laughed.... then i saw this on my table when i returned from class!!! 😍😍😍
catch up with 1 & 2IN and 3 & 4AD partners over lunch @ HDL, Wisma... luv the strawberry yoghurt ice cream the most.... 😂😂😂

24th April (Thur)
dinner @ LeNu, Vivo with Vv before balling our hearts & eyes out for 木木 and her dad, 小马... 😭😭😭
it's a very emotional story where a deaf character was being marginalised and exploited... really a case of being rejected, 环境所逼, 身不由己...
15th April (Tue)
bumped into YK, one of my graduated baobeis, on the way home... one of only 2 who were stuck with me as their FT for their whole 6 years in primary school... so happy to hear that he's now more self - disciplined & motivated in his studies, he's in the basketball school team and he's working towards the business course in poly...
thank you for being well & staying well... 😍😍😍
11th April (Fri)
such a blessing to bump into Miss Wu with an extra doughnut to 施舍 to my 可怜 tummy when i had to stay back to create work unexpectedly...
时间不三不四 after work was completed... had made arrangement to meet xy & vv for dinner so if i would to go home, nua 不到两小时就又得出门了 so decided to stay all the way and used the time to prep for the next few weeks of work instead...
finally 到点出发... google map told me that the train ride to Bugis and the walk to Bugis only differs by 5 minutes... since weather was okay, i was in comfy enough shoes, i walked the 2.2km... 💪💪💪
very yummilicious QQ ramen @ Ume San 100 followed by equally yummilicious dessert @ Yat Ka Yan, fortune centre with my favourite fyp mates, the most knowledgeable people to talk to with regards to the current tax galore situation...
as the night was still young after dessert, we even convened to 24hr xin wang to continue our chits & chats...😍😍😍
7th April (Mon)
thank you sylvia, harlina, an unidentified angel, jen, yanping and swc for feeding me 饱饱 and 甜甜 this hari raya season...
5th April (Sat)
of many many songs, dances & colouring on this super warm & humid morning with and for the residents... then to volunteering 后的甜点 at Torori Tenshi no Warabi-Mochi @ Vivocity with mx, our second dessert date this week!!! 😍😍😍
Asti has been a great help since she joined us last year... mum luvs her and we appreciate her so valid reason to have a nice halal dinner @ Bumbu Restaurant to celebrate Hari Raya with her... 蔡妈咪 luvs the Peranakan deco and was taking in all the sights like a 好奇宝宝...
brought Asti to Sultan Mosque to look see look see, take pics before my ridiculous journey home > so tired was i that i boarded the wrong bus... supposed to take bus 107M towards home sweet home but ended up on bus 100 that took me back at Vivocity... 😅😅😅
2nd April (Wed)
dessert with mx @ Lantine... rave review online (really cannot trust seh) but the souffle literally and figuratively fell flat... didnt seemed like there were 3 layers, more of 2 layers squashed together & not fluffy at all 😖😖😖... had much much better ones at Hoshino & Typhoon
then to dinner @ Genki to enjoy members' discount of 20%.. 😍😍😍
PAM 偷偷摸摸 兵分两路 from work then met up @ city square mall to cab to causeway to enjoy our 2D1N 吃吃 喝喝 shop & massage stayca in JB which was initiated and executed within 2 weeks...
KPI #1 > make spects!!!
5 pairs made in total... my blue lens 老花眼镜 cost S$57.65... silent internal happiness when the staff asked if i was collecting the spects on behalf of someone else when he didnt match my appearance to the age that i was asked to write on the record in order to make my 老花眼镜 😂😂😂
KPI #2 > buy bedsheets
to SOGO @ Mid Valley we went... tip of the day; apply for 5% tax rebate before payment... can consider to apply for SOGO membership to enjoy another $5myr instant rebate too...
KPI #3 > relax with a massage
@ my favourite Bangkok Spa, Taman Sentosa....shiok shiok!!! found out that i 越老越怕死; used to enjoy all the twists & bends & swings & crack here and there by the masseur, now i will request for gentle handling and say no to neck crackling!!!
KPI #4 > enjoy yummy food
dinner @ Oriental Kopi, supper @ 大成渌渌, breakfast @ Uncle 5 Coffee and lunch @ Sushi House... 4 meals only cost us S$35+/- each... 🐦🐦🐦
KPI #5 > Essential Shopping
@ Lotus's Supermarket and Caring Pharmacy... thanks to Youtrip promotion, we earned a total of S$33 cashback on this trip... the cheap thrill of splitting purchases @ SOGO and combining purchases @ Lotus's & Caring added much fun & giggles to this trip... 😂😂😂
first time so excited over a cat cos it's just so pretty & fluffy!!! but there's still the fear of it suddenly scratching / biting me... trauma from Alfred's stray kitten that he picked home from long long ago seh...
a quick hyee - bye to XP's cats then off we went for a dip & swim in the pool... it was such a relaxing hour plus just lazing in the water with no sun, no crowd & no other noise except from our endless chatters... 😂😂😂
beautiful view, cool weather... just the perfect ambiance for a rooftop bbq for 3...
these two did all the cooking but it was also my first time having to help with a bbq set-up & prep cos there was just the 3 of us... 😂😂😂
Happi Hatchday Miss Li
thanks for the company, mini bbq experience and these yummies
morning chit & chat over coffee with 蔡妈咪 then brought shuasumi home... 😍😍😍
thanks 蔡妹妹 for yet another super duper cute glasses holder that i needed for home sweet home after bringing the chickadee one to use in school !!!
30th Mar (Sun)
a day of much self-pampering from head to toes in JB... 😍😍😍
strawberry shortcake style hair treatment with k-gloss... my hair is now so shiny & glossy & smooth that my hair tie has difficulty staying on... also dont know to be satistfied or disappointed with this end result seh... 😂😂😂
met up with Michelle for manicure @ Nail Fashion, Holiday Plaza, a newly discovered nail parlour after our usual one ignored our booking... =S
great service from the 5 manicurists cum bosses @ Nail Fashion not only on our nails but with our tummies too... recommended and helped to order yummy food & drinks from nearby stalls when Mich asked for Grab food recommendation...
my nails are chickadee ready for Easter... with nail hardener + 4 nail art @ 140myr (S$43)... worth it!!! 😍😍😍
enjoyed 1.5 hours traditional thai massage at our favourite Bangkok Spa followed by lok lok @ 大成, next to KSL...
not worth the hype at all...this was the worst lok lok i had... over fried, over oiled?!?!?!... saving grace was the large variety of sauces which Mich insisted on trying out all of them... 😅😅😅
then finally making our way back home close to midnight (again) while enjoying Hari Raya firework along our journey... 🎇🎇🎇
23rd Mar (Sun)
5 out of 5 stars for Ne Zha 2...👍👍👍... 2 hours 20 minutes of laughter & tears over cute & funny characters & dialogue then lunch with Alvin & Wifey @ Crystal Jade... Happi Term 1 Chua Day ...😍😍😍
22nd Mar (Sat)
courtesy of Mab, Joyce and 3 rounds of game making it 5 rounds within 24 hours... i'm gonna declared that it's no longer my favourite game this March & April liao !!!...
Claire was so used to ordering for her family of 5 that consisted of 3 men that she went on an ordering spree for 5 of us too... and with the free flow of side dishes, there was really ALOT ALOT of food till we had to tabao food home!!!
then a super impromptus 2 rounds of our favourite game was executed where Laurice and I won the hatchday girl's money... 😂😂😂

PAL's Pal @ 食尚捞... my first time seeing such a huge variety of hotpot & grill ingredient available for selection on a conveyor belt... so fun!!! i had the $9.90 net set lunch that was super worth it... 😍😍😍
10th Mar (Mon)
just when i gave myself a valid reason (too tired & breatheless from 8 periods of lesson today) to skip today's hamster walk walk, Joyce texted to meet at 7pm for walk walk...
reward for saying " Yes, Let's Go !!!".... choco and sunblock from her Finland Aurora Trip & Korea Beauty Trip respectively... envy max and kam sa ham ni da... 😍😍😍
8th Mar (Sat)
celebrated Yuan's hatchday @ Kin Kao Mai Authentic Thai Restaurant, Grassroots' Club...
was 沾沾自喜-ing that i could 'siam' drinking this round since i was still on medication (occasionally)... 哪知道他们来这出 "Candy 输了, birthday girl 喝"...
就这样, coupled with 一个非常 on form the Ai Ling @ 5-10, 我欠 Yuan 26 mouthfuls of 酒... 😅😅😅... 好愁怎么还, 几时还?!?!?!... next hatchday is mine!!! 完了!!!
food was good... the song so 有年代感 that i wanna bring my mummy there for this year's mother day's dinner... 😂😂😂
7th Mar (Fri)

Happy to see fellow starchamp Prisc @ the workshop and congrats once again for finally having a full team after being a 1-woman dept for the last 2 years !!!
1st Mar (Sat)
of dance, songs, colouring and taking pics with 小黄人 for the residents...
only 3 of us didnt have other appointment thereafter so Bernice, XP and I followed Victor to Tiong Bahru Market for lunch...
it was ALWAYS a frustrating dinner because it was so difficult to get parking lot, so difficult to find a table to seat the chua's family with maid & baby/toddler alfred in tow, so difficult to avoid being splitter splatter by the rain / random dripping water from the zinc roof while slurping down the super yummilicious fried pork intestine porridge...
sadly, the current version was a far cry from the original... disappointing and totally not worth the $8...
& what a coincidence that today is papa chus's hatchday if he's still around...
went back to the chuas and was pleasantly intrigued by this pair of chickens 'patok-ing' along our corridor @ level 2???
according to the 3As, they have been 'nesting' just outside our gate and roaming the corridor since the night before...
