Last day of the month!!!!

May Aug be a better month please!

Just cant wait for all the shit to be over and done with!!!

Urgh! 

Tkd grading today! 

 Good luck boys!!!! 

 Great catching up with dear uni mates... Back to our usual haunt - raffles city sushi tei.. And then coffee at o coffee club... But closes so early at 9pm.... So we continued at the macs... 

Yea! 

 Sick and tired of having to sqz in the train.

So... Took the other way to work today. 

The non-stop north-south line (yew tee to raffles pl) , rather than north-south (yew tee to jurong east) and change east-west (jurong east to raffles pl)

Whole journey abt 15mins longer?

But guarantee got seat and can just KO for the next 1hr.

Better than having to change station here and there, wait for train here and there, no place to sit, and gotta stand like mad!!!

Yeah.

Moving forward 就这样.

Till i call it a day. 

Yeah.

End of 颓废几爽的日子....

Yeah, i extended my mc for 2 more days. 

Woke up to a heavy head, tummy ache and backache on mon. 

I knew popping panadols should work, but... Why be so hard on urself right?

So, heeding Rayous's advice, I decided to take mc and just rest at home. 

Menstrual pain has been taken to a whole new level now.

Pain till, dont know isit tummy pain, or back pain. 

Pain till, can only lie on the bed and cannot do anything else liao.

Pain till, like the back is breaking.... Like im going to be paralysed soon. 

Scary. 

I really dont know whats going on. 

Is it back pain? Or tummy pain?

I think it started off with back pain. And the whole episode was made worse worse with the flu and then the menses. 

As to why backpain? Could be the endless housework. Or could be the gym and exercises. Or could just be the pure standing from having to travel back n forth work. Or could be.... Just old age.

Almost KO for past 2days. 颓废, but真的几爽. Eat, sleep, watch tv, eat, sleep..... 什么都不做.... 等着肥死........ 

Haaa....... 

Back to reality and work tmr. 

Sighhhhhhhhhh.

Good luck.

NDP 2023 PreView

As said, we successfully balloted for the ndp preview tickets! 

From my blog, the last time we went, was in 2012!!!!!

Woah! 

Very sunny and hot wor

First time for the boys!! 

And tricia is part of the performing team! 

Really hardwork for the participants... Endless practices and rehearsals... 

Not bad, a good show! But the fireworks not v spectacular leh. 

So so so crowded and so many people!!

And hubb booked a room at swissotel the stamford for us to stay.

Now still waiting for in room order.... 一波多折really.... Ordered mac via grab, waited for quite long, in the end, the order was cancelled. Ordered again via foodpanda, waited a while, and the order was cancelled again!!!

In the end ordered in room dining, but till now, still not here. 

Omg max. 

Anyways, rayous waited till fell asleep liao. 

We shld have all just gone to sleep, really. 

 I realised when im on mc... It will always somehow coincide with the boy not going to school..

How many times liao huh

Wisdom tooth extraction, covid 2nd time, and now this time round!

P6 oral or listening exams, so the lower pri got hbl. Plan was to send him to student care, who knows im on mc, so he happy doesnt have to go student care and wanna stay with me.

Duh

Really disturbing my mc leh.....

Woke up early for his hbl. Lucky he ok to nap in the afternoon... Else my whole day of rest gone. 

Think he also v tired. Now still napping.. Ha

5days of work/school, having to wake up super early, 真的真的好累...

I really wish we could go back to days when i still can wfh.... And can sleep in a little later.

Is it our system problem? Our working hours really too long le isit? 

I always wonder why school must start so early. And the most likely answer is that the parents need to go to work. Imagine if school starts late, parents go to work late, and then also will end work late(r). But daytime only 12hrs, how late u want to end?? 

So everything has to push earlier.

Honestly, if govt wants pple to give birth, they really have to support more. Shorten the working hrs pls!!!!! But at the expense of economy, nobody dares to say anything.. 

Balancing work and children is not an easy feat. 

Mental stress!!! 

七早八早天没亮就出门，天黑了才到家.....

Why like that??

Or maybe i really stay too far from my workplace le. Too much time wasted on travelling..... Which actually could be solved with wfh... Yet.... No more wfh... 

Sigh. 

Perhaps time to 另谋高就 le..

Sian. 

 2days mc.

Must have caught it from the boys.

Aiii.

真是的

Whats with exercising, drinking water, eating vitamins... 

Still kenna sick quite easily leh. 

Sigh

 Im falling sick again.

Lucky not covid. 

Hope i get well soon ok.

Sianx.

VeGeTariaN FoOd

Woah, honestly never thought vegetarian food can be so creative 

Tried out this Su Food at raffles city. 

Only set lunches are served during lunch. Got 4course, 6course or 8course to choose from. We went for the 8 course. Got starters, vinegar drink, appetisers, bread sticks, soup, main course, desserts, drinks.. 

It's really a fusion! Main course got western, korea, italian like pizza spaghetti baked rice etc... 

And is yummy de, just like eating normal non vegetarian food. 

Nice. And great to lunch with my 2 colleagues from yrs back!!! 

2 of the most harmless people around. 

According to my colleague, this su food is the atas vegetarian food. 

The other day we also tried out the more mass market vegetarian food - Greendot 

Yea, not bad leh, also quite nice

Also got mala hotpot which is totally vegetarian. 

V impressed really. 

Oooooh. 

Really a nua wkend. 

Today also stayed home whole day. 

Very unproductive.

Lol

Did a few shopee purchases though. 

Urhh.

 Prolly one of the most slack sat.

RaYous's BdaY

 Took half day leave on the little boy's bday to bring him out celeb abit. 

Went jcube shilifang! Yeaaa! 

Din tried shijian hotpot this time, cuz i wanted mala and a clear broth, while he wanted tomato broth. Then shijian max only 2 soup base... So after deliberating, i decided to go shilifang which can choose more than 2 base! 

Yea, best of 3 worlds!!! Hahahha

Happy us-time =) 

Then walk walk awhile b4 heading home

Cake cutting, wheeeee! 

Happy happy birthday my little man!!! 

 How grateful to have finally reached friday! 

Moody, tired, sian. 

And a rainy morning. 

Sigh

Hubb supposed to send me to work. 

But becuz of the rain, sure will jam like mad. Taking train is honestly more promising than car. 

Counter intuitive right? 

So decided to treat myself better, and have a good warm breakfast 

星期五快乐!!!! 

Done deal with one of the event that i had been bz with.....!

Charity yardsale event!  

Donated 4 of the big soft toys which we got from the arcade, and sold each at $50!!!

Not bad right!! 

One event down, but still got a couple of upcoming events.. 

救命啊!

HapPy BirThDaY RaYous!

Happy birthday, Rayous!! 

祝你:

健康快乐

乖巧伶俐

天天开心!!! 

RaYous's BdaY ParTy

 It's Rayous's bday! 

Advance celebration on friday night at the function room! 

My little man wb 8yo soon!!! 

Actually this celeb was quite impromptu. 

To me, i think the important milestones to celeb wb full mth, 1yo, 3yo, 12yo, 16yo and 21yo.

So for other years, small celeb will do. 

For past yrs, we had been going to staycay to celeb our bdays. But this yr, his actual bday falls on a wkday, so cannot lo. 

Then he himself wanted to throw a bday party. 

Then i ok it, since next yr they will be splitting class liao, may be a good chance to get everyone together and take some pics. And my intention was to invite his whole class, perhaps including the teachers. But then he said he only wanted to invite the boys. Then after that he said he only wanted to invite 3 of them. And then in the end he said he only wanted to invite 1 of them.... Duh...? 

Abit weird right, invite only that 1 friend.... So in the end, i told him not to invite le... Just family members will do. Haha

So that was how it became a mini bash lo. Lol

I read somewhere before, that if we are holding bday parties for our children, to invite everyone in the class, so that no one will feel left out. 

But this rayous was saying that he also not close with everybody, why need to invite everybody? Then he also said 'you want the naughty boys to come and spoil the party mehh?'.... 

Ummmmmmmmm. 

好像也对hor. 

Ya lor. So... Sometimes really v difficult. 请一个，不请一个，不对。请到完，也不对。很难hor. 

Anyways yupx. 

Happy advance bday my little man!!

Being a shopeeshopaholics, i really have bought many things via shopee. 

As mentioned b4, many happy buys, but many failed buys too. 

Most of the times, i will read the reviews. And there was one time, the product i received was totally unacceptable, so i really dont know why got so many good reviews. Their standards so low mehh? 

But now, probably i know liao. 

Ok, so, online, the pics are like these

And i bought before. Very nice, and i liked it very much. One of the most happy buy in fact, and i left a very good review. 

After a long while, i decided to buy a 2nd piece. Same seller hor. 

But this time round, the product is really chuiz. Material is totally different, cutting totally wrong too!

Got a stun when i received this xia. 

So i immediately raised a refund.

The good thing abt shopee is, most of the time they will just refund, no question asked. 

Dont bother to talk to the sellers, quite useless i feel. They will tell u lame things like go to a tailor and get it fixed and they will give u a discount coupon on ur next purchase.. Duh.

So, buying the same thing at different times, will actually get different quality. So perhaps that explained why some reviews were so good, when the product received is chuiz. 

For this case, the buyer who received the 2nd piece, will sure be very puzzled why i left such a good review. Lol

Mm, probably i should ask the seller why the quality so different. It is a very nice skort, i really want to have a 2nd piece of the same good quality. 

Ummmmmmm
