1 MoRe WeEk TO gO...

14 Feb 2016- Valentine's Day... went for a little walk around the neighbourhood but ended up getting lost instead, then had to make our way back to Boon Keng marketplace, went to check out the hawker centre there, 'dabao' chai tau kway home for lunch, and then pretty much slacked the whole day, and then had fishball noodles for dinner, home-cooked, it was not very nice actually... and then prisy suggested that we watch this korean movie called Beauty Inside, and it was actually quite a good and touching movie, I actually cried during the movie... yup, sad...

15 Feb 2016- went out early in the morning, for our health screening at Novena medical practice, gross, had to manually collect a stool sample, to put it nicely... after that, walked around Novena and Square 2 shopping centre, did not find anything exciting, ended up eating Burger King... after that, made our way to the National Museum... HOt!!! and then met up with Huimin and co for dinner at PS, had this wanton noodles... and then went for room escape game at Peace Centre called Lost.sg... and the game was called ALcatrez... we were watching this video as an intro to the game and it turned out that we were watching the wrong video after it finished... Highlarious! the game was sooo good, but really difficult, we actually failed to escape even after 90mins... definitely recommend! 

16 Feb 2016- went to Toa PAyoh with Nainai and Papa to eat lunch at one of the hawker stores, ate this grilled fish, the fish was not bad, but the fries were too hard and they poured this sauce which was not very nice... then went to NTUC to buy some stuff for home... went to meet up with Silvana and Elain for dinner at Maxwell food centre... ate chai tau kway again, and drank soya bean milk... after that, went to eat at this dessert place and the food turned out to be really good actually... 

17 Feb 2016- went for lunch at the chicken rice place again at Seah St, this time with Michelle's friend ANdrea... this is our 3rd time eating there already... bought a blouse from one of my favourite clothing stores called Mu, but I think they changed the management already, but still selling quirky clothing... and then after that, we went to PS, walked for abit, bought more stuff, and then headed home... went to ZhenZhen's house in the evening and I actually arrived earlier than her, and her daughter's pretty cute, babysat her for awhile, then ate home cooked food, and met her husband for the first time ever, and he is very chatty... very passionate about his job and politics... I pretty much just sat there and listened and nodded along... forgot to take a pic with her daughter :(

18 Feb 2016- went for lunch at this korean place called Yoogane, not very nice at all actually... and then after that, made our way to ktv at Teo Heng at Hotel Rendezvous... HOT!!! after that, slowly walked to orchard central, went to check out this cake place called Lady M, quite nice actually... the place was pretty packed... and then walked around orchard central, 313 and the new shopping centre orchard gateway... and then slowly walked to tangs plaza to meet up with mum... bought this new pandan cake mould, and then went to eat at swensen's at ION... stupid signage was so misleading that we got lost... 

19 Feb 2016- was meant to go Redhill for breakfast this am, but woke up to a rainy day :( 

To be continued...

HappY ChiNeSE nEw YEAr...

6 Feb 2016- of course it had to rain on the day we had to catch the train to the airport... went to give auntie and co a lift to the station, luckily the rain eased a little, which meant that hyungie was able to be cleaned before we left, had quite a difficult time dragging our luggages from home to the train station even though it was only like a 5mins walk usually... got to the airport really early, had lunch, the flight was alright, crying babies, some mild turbulence, and we had to circle around for awhile before we could land... queued for approx 30mins for my fishball noodles, that was how good the food was... and welcome humidity! gross! unloaded the luggages and went to bed...

7 Feb 2016- walked to boon keng market to see if they were still selling the prawn rolls... no luck, most places were already preparing to close by noon... and it was raining... had our reunion dinner at home with ah ma... 

8 Feb 2016- chinese new year... busy busy since morning, preparing and cleaning up... drama in the function room... and of course, it was pretty hot that day too... despite the multiple fans and air con... it was pretty packed that day, with extended family coming along as well... found out that pearlyn and ernest are getting married this year too... and then went to visit ah ma's house... 

9 Feb 2016- went for lunch at swensen's at nex... had the 49ers burger and this dirt pot milo dinosaur dessert ice cream... yummy! most of the shops remained close so nothing very much happening... 

10 Feb 2016- went to collect my IC at Immigration, then met up with pongie to go eat chicken rice at this authentic store opposite Raffles Hotel... yummy! then we went to watch the Monkey King 2, sooo much better than the first one, I even had tears in my eyes towards the end... definitely would like to download and watch again... after that, papa and co joined us for dinner and we went to check out old school delights at upper thomson road... it was not bad actually, I shared mee siam and laksa with mum, and the milo dinosaur was pretty good... 

11 Feb 2016- went to vivocity for lunch, had chai tau kway at the foodcourt and tu tu... and then went to the trick eye museum with auntie and co... it was once-off for me... after that, took nainai back home, and then went out for dinner (korean bbq) at buona vista with Mel... the food was good, but too expensive... she is getting married in July but again, cannot attend...

12 Feb 2016- went back for more chicken rice at swee kee... then walked around bugis village, and then walked to guan yin temple, fu lu shou to buy suan mei, then bought a pair of joggers at OG, then we caught a train to Holland Village for the 2am dessert bar... not my type of food and very expensive... after that, came home, changed and took a Uber vehicle to bugis village again for our room escape... it was at Xcape, the first game was called Chamber of Secrets... did not really grasp the concept of the clues... crawling involved in this one... pretty similar to the ones we played before... and then Michelle suggested we play another game, so we quickly had Long John Silver's for dinner, and played the Whispers of the Dead... the clues were pretty tricky in this one... but no crawling involved... and we managed to solve both rooms... after that, went for drinks at the Long Bar at Raffles Hotel... the decor was unique, and you can throw the shells of the nuts on the ground... ordered this cocktail drink but not very nice... ended up drinking water actually... we actually left earlier than the rest cos we were both exhausted and hot... 

13 Feb 2016- family lunch at this fancy chinese restuarant called Ban Heng at Orchard Central... think we went overboard with the ordering of the food cos it was buffet style, but the service was pretty crap, and the food was only ok, though they did have my fried fish dish... after that, went home for abit and then caught a train to punggol to visit piyo's house with Inthu... got onto the wrong LRT... her house is actually quite nice interiorly... did not really get to play with her son, cos he was asleep by the time he got home... had pizza for dinner but not very nice, and then dunno what I was thinking, she suggested that we have a bit of lepat, and I did not even think that she may not have rice, so I ended up eating pure lepat, it was vomit and headache inducing for me... it was BAD! and it was pretty hot at her house as well, despite the fan... had to go buy some chocolate at NTUC to wash the taste away, pretty traumatised by lepat now... otherwise, piyo still the same, met her husband as well... seems nice...

24 HOurs MoRe...

Finally! start of my 3 week holidays, after looking forward to this for what felt like ages... anyway, last day of work was pretty anti-climatic, so quiet and boring, as opposed to a mad rush to finish everything and do handovers like previously... alas, did not end up getting any of the jobs I applied for, not even an interview... man, either I am really sucky or people out there are just way better than me... 

anyway, starting to dread the flight now already, cross my fingers and toes that the flight will be a smooth sailing one... did not even lose any weight before going back home :(

wound wise, glad to report that it is now slowly healing, which was so much better than oozing blood and pus like before... but will have to continue applying this silicone gel thing every day... definitely still going to swim when we are at marina bay sands though regardless... just realised that my swimming goggles broke... 

nothing much else to report... looking forward to going home, the food, meeting up with the girls...
