ExiT CB PhaSe 2 - 19 JunE 2020

yes, i honestly think phase 2 came too fast liao. but i guess, G probably has no choice either. while we are relatively unscathed, i think many pple out there are really dying.... no job.. no money.... hand stop mouth stop... and how much money can the G keep forking out?? so, continue CB probably is not an option liao... so... yep... since exiting, then jiu embrace the exit ba!! 

woohoo! 

1st day of exit early morning.... already pple cheong to the pool! 

and, though i strongly advocate for everybody to still stay at home and minimize outdoor activities..... hubb and i took PM leave to go out!!! 

OMG.. such hypocrite!!!!!

ok la, initially i really tot we shouldnt go out de. but then, taking the PM leave to take a break and to go do things that we had been longing for just sounded too tempting to forgo!!!!

and so, we 1st went for a massage and then..... steamboat!!! 

finally seeing more pple. haha. 

beauty in the pot!!! i've been craving for you day and night!! really!!!

though they did offer delivery services during the CB period, i felt that the ingredients included in the delivery set meal is just not worth the money. so, been waiting for this day when they reopen and i can eat-in and order what i like. 

and, i've been commenting that their soup base is toooo expensive. even b4 u order anything, 2 soup base only already costed $30! but now, i do understand why their soup base so expensive liao. becuz honestly, what i craved was really the very very nice collagen and mala soup. the ingredients can actually be bought from anywhere, but the soup base really no way to replicate. thats why though we did our own steamboat at home, it was never as satisfying without that yummmmmmyyyyy soup base. 

my 1st seat-in meal since i last had my seat-in meal in early april. LOL

so, yes! 一分钱,一分货. the soup really very nice! 

ahhhhhhh.. really super happy to take the day off and enjoy the long-craved for meal. 

爽!!!!!!!!!!

we went in about 4.40pm, quite empty. but the crowd started to come in after 5pm. wooo. 

after that went to fetch the kids and bought them to what i call the 'once-a-week indulgence - mac! 

takeaway and ate at MIL's house. haa. 

and then sat, took didi for his 3yo polyclinic checkup. after that went westgate to get rayous some shape-cutters which he requested for. wah, the q at popular was long lor, need to q to get in. 

then had lunch at crystal jade. yummmx. 

ok la, to be fair, the mall is still relatively quiet as compared to the past la. in the past, during weekends, definitely more crowded and rowdy than this. 

but good to see things slowly picking up and life slowly going back to normal la. 

that time was really quite sad to see everything going into 死城. 

ok, so hopefully everyone continue to stay safe ok!!

Wah kaox

Exiting CB and entering into phase 2 of the exit liao????

Kaoz... 

Abit too fast le ba?????

Tot will at least kiv 1 or 2mths to ensure stabilisation b4 entering into phase 2???

What's going on?? 

So safe liao meh??? 

No more cases liao mehhh?? 

What's the hurry xia????!

Kaoz! 

MoVinG HouSe - EpisoDe One - OuR Old FlaT

alright... time to blog about our end-to-end moving experience. 

to be honest, i was never involved in the balloting of our 1st flat - our dear old BTO at Boon Lay Avenue.

that time we were still unmarried and balloting for a new flat was almost an 'mission impossible' becuz new launches were really limited back then, and sooo many pple balloting for them. so, u really gotta be super lucky in order to be able to get a number to participate in the ballot.

but, i always knew one thing from the start (all thanks to an old colleague who shared that advice with me) - and that is, to live near to the future caregiver of your child(ren) and that person is none other than my dear MIL. so, living in the west, is unavoidable.

and so, when hubb told me that there was this launch in boonlay, he happily said to apply. honestly i was super chill about it, cuz likely we wont be able to get it. but since he so enthu wanted to try, i just let him lor. there was no discussion on what kind of flat we want, 3rm 4rm or 5rm or location or whatsoever. 

and in the end, we really managed to get a place in the ballot. and to be honest again, i did not participate in the choosing of the unit.  i only wanted to be in high level. that's all. 

hubb practically made all the decisions and i just followed along. and that was how we ended up on the 15th floor of a new BTO flat in Boon Lay. 

yup. 

and cuz i was never involved in the choosing of the location and unit right, so, it's always easy to find faults with the decisions that are not made by you. 

and so, i was nagging and nagging and nagging at hubb all the while we were there. 

LOLL

ok la, actually the flat was not bad la, afterall, it was our 1st and new home right. 

just that, the environment there is a little bit 杂... we and another development were the only new BTOs amid the rest of the very very old flats. so those very old flats really abit 杂.... 

then, it's quite far away from the nearest market.. approx 15mins walk? no bus to take also, can only walk or drive. inconvenient. and worse if i were to compare it to the convenience in living in telok blangah... urgh! 

and then, it was really a very hot unit. weird, cuz when we 1st collected the keys and visited the unit, it was quite windy actually. but after reno and we really moved in, it became a hot unit. literally hot. i remb we had to on the aircon almost every weekends when we were at home. and it doesnt help when we did not install any ceiling fan back then. 

and then, i was always complaining to hubb why he did not take a 5rm unit. most of our peers took 5rms and really much bigger than a 4rms. and hubb's reasoning was that there were more 4rms units than 5rms unit at our development, so, there will be higher chance if we were to choose 4rm than 5rm. also, 4rms are cheaper and will get paid off faster than a 5rm. since it's our 1st house and started off with only 2 of us, we should not get an expensive flat and get ourselves tied down. 

yup. 

full of 大道理s. and i just LL lor. and who knows... he's not totally wrong with the decision....

to be continued......

小屋见大屋  again

Trust mum to always buy these kind of ultra big fruits. 

Impressive ba. 

And... a 双胞胎egg!! 

Lol

Woah. 

With the 2 boys back to school, really can focus better at work leh. 

Less disruptions, less distractions, less worrying. 

And good to know the boys are spending their time much more fruitfully at school. 

Good! 

Haiz

Still tot the boys go back to school, we don't have to shop at fairprice liao, cuz can just pick up whatever we need at the nearby market after dropping them off at school. 

Who knows.... The q at the market is even longer than at fairprice!

Super Omg. 

Things are really no longer the same!!!

Urgggh 

Welcome back to school!! 

Heng ahhh. They were quite happy to go back!! 

No crying, no throwing of din. 

Whoot! 

oh hi uniforms (and masks)! 

good to see u again since we last met in april! 2mths already!! 

haha! 

yeah, originally still cant bear to let these 2 brats go back to school. 

but now, i think im also getting the toil of WFH with children liao. 

honestly, work and children cannot be together. 

u jolly well know you should be working full force, but yet, u cant, cuz every now and then, the children will come to you for something - hungry la, need to go toilet la, wants to play la, come kajiao u la etc etc etc. then in the room working, im also worried if they are ok outside, so once in every while, will have to go out and check on them abit - make sure they drink water la, screens not too close la, not sucking finger la... blah blah. 

on the other hand, u feel super guilty when u want to concentrate on ur work and when the children come and find u, u hushed them away with words like 'im bz, pls go away... im at work, pls go out... keep quiet.... hurry up, i need to work etc etc etc..'

to the extent that this didi said to me 'if you dont want to listen to me, then i wont listen to you too'....... 

omg. that's what i always said to them. and now, he is using my own words on me!  

kaoz.

but yes, why am i hushing them becuz of work? why am i not listening to them becuz of work? why am i neglecting their needs juz cuz i need to work????????

yet, those hours are indeed meant to be at work... 

and not to mention those off-work hours when im still working. 

u see the contradictions and struggles??

so, i guess, it's good to let them go back to school.

their needs will be properly taken care of by the school. they learn, play, spend their time more meaningfully, while we can concentrate on our work without having to feel excessive guilt. 

yep, so boys, back to reality ok! 

no more nua-ing at home and in lala land liao. hohohoho

and things at work are really taking a toil on me. 

everything is wrong. just wrong. 

should really consider if i should stay on, or just take a hiatus for awhile. 

很累, 真的很累. 

perhaps it's really the wfh w children that's making it worse. but.... 

sighhhh...

or perhaps im just a wrong fit in the first place... or probably not in the first place... but now, im definitely a wrong fit. 

haiiiiix. 

很受伤. 

但又能怎样.....??

Am I sooo pretty and outstanding that pple get jealous and just want to sabo me??

Or am I just downright disgusting and 惹人厌that I'm always a target for pple to attack??

What have I done wrong? Why pple always want to attack me????? 

Only 赚口饭吃，why always kenna shooting???

Been trying my best to do my things properly, don't go and kaypo and chap siao pple stuff, ownself take care ownself.

But now what again???

Do they really hate me so much? Yes, I guess so. I hate my own guts too.

Super 委屈。哑巴吃黄连，有苦自己知。

很sian。真的很sian.

Nvm.

What goes round comes round. 

会有报应的。

And to 苦中做乐 and to put on positive thinking, I should be honoured that the whole world is busy becuz of me. 

Again. 

很sian。

What have I done wrong xia.

Been trying my so very best to do things right..

But still.. 

到底踩到谁的尾巴???

Whyyy.

无奈。

Again.

1st day of the new month and kenna shit again....... 

Haix. 

Why.....

Too long never go 拜拜。。。。

Wish me good luck.
