Happy Full Month Baby Shana

I recalled it was only a couple of weeks back when we visited my cousin Ka Yun and Florence when they welcomed their 2nd Princess; Baby Shana at Mount A.

Today, we are here at Canaan Church to celebrate her full month. Initially, the party was held at their humble home but due to haze, they decided to shift the celebration at the church they attends.

It was a great event where friends and family gathering to celebrate this wonderful gift from God. Faith has lots of fun hanging around with her cousin Zoe and the church friends.

Shana, may the good Lord always bless and shower you with His Love and Blessings.

Gathering With The Rambutans

One of our friends, Rena who is currently teaching at an international school in Jakarta is back home for a holiday. I can’t recall when the last time we met… I guessed it was many years back.

I am happy that after days of planning, we finally managed to have a dinner gathering at our favourite Italian Restaurant, La Pizzaiola. I was on ½ day leave to spend time with Faith before I headed out to the rest.

While we waited for the rest to turn up, we decided to start off with the starters like egg plants, burratina with parma ham etc… it was really great to catch up with friends whom I have not met for ages.

We then ordered our mains and pizzas after the rest arrived and we chatted the night away. Everyone enjoyed the good food as most were first timers. We were so into many topics that we actually forgot about the time… it was pretty late and we decided to adjourn to another place for desserts.

As we drove down towards town, there was a heavy traffic and we finally decided to settle at Shangri-La lobby lounge since it was quite on the way. We realized it was a fine place to sit and chat with lounge singer. We ordered our drinks and continued with our topics and some sharing of ghost stories…

Time passed so fast and by the time we realized, it was already past midnight. Some of us were so tired that we left for home but the rest of the five heroines continued their journey to Jalan Kayu for prata supper.

Lunch At GOTO

Today is Minowa-san’s last day with MC and he kindly invited Linda & me to lunch with him. I am truly honoured to have lunch with him as I believed I will definitely miss him. It was such pleasure working with him for a good 5 years before my 2 years plus nightmare began to haunt me.


We left slightly early for lunch with the permission granted by my new boss. He is very understanding and gladly allowed me to leave early for lunch. I was really happy and looking forward to lunch at GOTO again.

This time, there was another patron when we arrived at the restaurant compared to the previous time when we were their only customers. They have different set menus everyday depending on the chef and the good thing about it is; you get to try out different dishes each time you visit.

The set menu today was great too starting off with the super fresh sashimi which was truly yummy especially the squid which melts in your mouth. I couldn’t recall the names of the other dishes as there was no menu given to us. The waitress will only inform us the dish when it was served and obviously I have forgotten about it…

Thank you very much Minowa-san for the wonderful and delicious lunch and I do sincerely wish you all the best in your new company. This will not be the last time we will meet and I believed we will keep close contact with you for you are no longer our boss but a very good friend.

Hello Kitty Craze

I remembered there was a Hello Kitty craze many years back when McDonald’s came up with the stuffed toys when you buy their value meals. Back then, it was a total sell-out weekly when different pairs of Hello Kitty were put up. I recalled reports on many people fought over it due to jumping of queues and some even went across the border to get their missing CATS…

This year, apart from the Haze, the Hello Kitty craze is back again. This time, it was the fairy tale theme where it’s almost a to-die-for collection for collectors of course. For me, I bought it for the fun of it for Faith as she somehow developed the love for this Cat!

Though I did not managed to collect all of them but at least a few was good enough. When it came to the last week where collectors believed that the ‘black cat’ is a collector’s item, everyone went mad. There were reports of people started to queue up for this stuffed toy before mid-night and started to buy their meals at the struck of twelve.

I instructed hubby to get it when he buys the breakfast at the drive-in but he failed as many outlets were already sold-out by 1am. It was quite disappointing but we weren’t that crazy to queue overnight. Thanks to Linda who managed to get it for me when our dear tea-lady Eunice called her early this morning to inform her that she will be late as she was at Mac… Linda immediately asked her if it’s alright to get her a meal with the stuffed toy and YES, they made it!

I was really happy and really appreciated their effort of going through this to get our little girl her black cat… Seeing her happy and full of smiles when I showed her after I got home was definitely worth it…

Thank you Eunice & Leng for getting this Black Cat for Faith! HUGS!!

Haze Daze…

The haze is really getting on many Singaporean’s nerves as the PSI readings continued to climb. Today, the reading went up to 401 which is considered ‘dangerous’ but both our company and government did not take much action except for updating the PSI readings hourly…

When my three dear friends went out to get lunch, they had to wear their mask due to the strong burning smell. Our neighbour Indonesia is still not doing much to stop the forest fire and we have to suffer… even our little Faith had to wear a mask when head out to send my mum to the doctor…

When will this Haze Daze ends….

Haze 社会

The Haze is getting bad each day and the PSI reading is climbing up faster than ever. I was shocked by the PSI reading today as it climbed up to 200 at lunch time. The whole skyline at our office pantry turned to a scene where you found buildings disappeared…

When we headed out to get our lunch, even a short distance from office to the food court was such a pain due to the strong burning smell. I was really upset about the haze and why people in Indonesia can be so irresponsible on their action.

The haze got so bad that I turned to wearing mask though I do not feel comfortable breathing. I guess we only can pray for rain...

Haze Is Back

We have been having clear sky for the past couple of years and this year, the Haze came back to haunt us.

The PSI readings was climbing up as the hour passed and at lunch time today, the PSI went up to 107 reaching the unhealthy range. It wasn’t the highest so; guess nothing to worry about….
Hoping for a clearer day tomorrow…
