Kickstarted the month meeting Shermane and her boys at Super Park on 1st. It has been 3 years since we went. It was awkward as the boys did not talk to lil C and she didn't want to initiate. Luckily she bumped into her ex-4 Care classmates and played together with them for awhile. It was boring after they left as lil C could just watch Jarett play trampoline repeatedly as we mums chatted. We ended with her trying out archery. We went to Saizeriya for dinner and waffles at Dal komn cafe but it was so different when the 2 boys just played on their phones. Eventually lil C also played games on phone. Gosh.. I guess it should be the last time we can meet up with our children. Lil C said the same too. But I was glad to be able to still chat everything under the sun with Shermane, my colleague turned friend of 16 years. We didn't eat much for dinner and ended up cooked noodles dry for us. It was also the World Cup season.
2nd: Collected P6 books and then lunch at Lao Huo Tang. Lil C also knew that the food tasted much better when we dined there. We went Ntuc for groceries and it has been a long while since we went groceries shopping together. Haha.. Hub then went to Kaiye's dad wake with mum. We then had Tenderbest for dinner..
3rd: I went to Dorra again. The weight finally came down slightly. In the evening we went to imperial treasure steamboat at Ion with mum and Bing. Managed to see Xmas lightings and snapped some pics. We also found a Korean theme cafe at Shaw and had tea, bingsu, sweet potato fries and waffles ice-cream for lil C.
4th: hub suggested we go to Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre. There was a Singapo人 exhibition. In the end we chanced upon a live singing and we sat down for awhile while lil C bought handmade rubber bands and key chains from the stalls. As the weather was cloudy, we decided to go to Gardens by the Bay as planned. We went to the cloud forest Avatar and dinner at the foodcourt. We didn't know that we have to buy tickets for the time slot of 6.30pm and in the end couldn't go to the Xmas carnival. What a bumper...
5th: our 14th year anniversary. Lil C and I met hub at Robertson Quay, beasts and butterflies for dinner. Lil C was the only child there. I like the lobster porridge while hub and lil C like the claypot hokkien mee. The fries and chocolate dessert were good too. Happy 14th!👩❤️💋👨
Lil C still can fit in her PE attire and uniform. I move the buckle of the skirt out so that is not so tight. 🙏
8th: we went to river wonders instead of sentosa as hub said the reviews of the VR is not good. We didn't manage to see the bb panda lele. Lil C loves the boat ride and it was the first for hub. But lil C was nervous before it moved. Lol.. Lil C then asked if she could have hot choc at Starbucks. Grown up!! Hub and I shared ppm mocha. Finally tried it after so many years. ♥️ It..
9th: was looking at scgs website and realised I can use leadership for DSA. Shall apply for lil C next year and see how fate can bring her to.. 🙏
I read from the news that santa will be here in SG on 9th and 10th. So excited... We decided to go to MBS to see him. Haha. But no luck.. He was everywhere at the gigantic mall. I suggested to hub we can try JJLin's Miracle coffee. We like the kaya cloud. Kaya with gula melaka coffee.. We went to HDL for early dinner then head to the great bay fiesta carnival as the weather was fine. Lil C initially didn't want to go to a carnival but eventually agreed. We had some issues at the counter as they ran out of entry cards. Hub is not savvy with online ticketing. Luckily I was. Even the credits top up need to do it online then queue up again to top up into the card. It was troublesome.. We started with the flying dumbo. As we flew higher, lil C was afraid... Mummy.. Mummy.. She almost wanted to cry. I was actually scared too, could feel palms sweating. So I had to fly low then high, went up and down. 😆
After that, hub and her played games at the stalls. We were not lucky to win the big prize. Haha. But it was a good experience. Lil C was sooo star struck when I told her jianhao tan and his family were there too. She was afraid to take a pic with them. Haha
10th: we went to ti gong tua and balestier temple to pray for year end. We then met up with R and H to pass her the mightypro. We had Mac lunch with little H then head home. I carried H as she is so poor thing, have to walk so far.
11th Sun: Dorra again but they were short of staff due to C+ and I spent 3 hrs there. Since lil C didn't want to go out for dinner, hub ordered zichar.
12th: Lil C booster shot. All went well. She wanted to eat fried rice like H so I made for her while hub ordered LHT soup and dishes. Glad that she finally likes fried rice. Now I know she prefers savoury so no pumpkin.
Hub came home sniffing on 13th and he said office aircon too cold and was OK when temp was increased and he said he stopped sniffing on 14th. But he came home saying he felt achy. I asked him to test ART and he was initially pek chek. We were all shocked when we saw double lines. He immediately wore mask and went to room. I also asked lil C to go upstairs earlier. In the end, I had insomnia.
15th: my challenge come... Hub found a hotel and insisted to go and stay for a few days. Needed me to take luggage, disposable uw, pack oils etc for him. I had to rush to SS to buy pork, veg and back to cook lunch for him and lil C. Then he left... We first headed to school to collect the ftgp and CCE books then to science centre. I already booked tickets the night before. Rosemary on my scalp is my saviour. I also closed my eyes on our way to science centre. We then had dinner at the new restaurant there then took grab home. I like the spam fries and pizza. When I reached home, I misted the entire house with the spray gun and also changed his bedsheets.
Mum came over for lunch before we headed to see Angeline on Friday, 16th. Dinner at peach garden. First time ordered steamed soon hock without hub. Then we went to return taisui on 17th and Bing rented getgo car to send us there and back. Lil C was excited.. No grab for once. I was glad to have mum with me. We had you yi you mian, fried dumplings for lunch at home. Mum watched her Indian movies while I had my legs on sofa and in the end we both had a short nap. The 3 of us then took shuttle bus to northpoint for lil C guitar lesson then we went shabu sai for dinner. Without hub, we ate slower, a pace that I preferred. Mum bought cakes from chateraise. She shocked me when she said she can walk to the bus interchange on her own. We bade goodbye and lil C and I were worried.. We headed to wait for the shuttle bus but thankfully I checked again and realised the last bus is at 7.38pm.
18th: stay at home after a tiring running here and there from Thurs to Sat. Cooked salmon rice for lunch and dinner. Just lil C and I.
19: our lil adventure started. Went to phs by taxi for her haircut and I did scalp treatment. She felt nauseous as we took cab right after lunch at home. Gin cut her hair real short while I was away for hair wash. But she likes it. As I didn't bring sanitizer, we took train to Somerset and to YL to redeem. Then we took train back to Orchard and had dinner at itacho sushi. After that we went to h & M, fossil to try to find my wallet. I needed to buy a new one and my previous ones zip and strap spoiled. In the end, while she went to toilet, I bought it at Kate spade. Love it!! My best buy this year. Lil C wanted to take the train back as she was afraid of being nauseous again if take taxi. I was glad we did. We even had a short while listening to her songs on YouTube with my earphones.
20th and 21st: learning lab Math Headstart class at seletar mall. I chanced upon amore and had my long deserved massage. Hub suddenly recovered and could fetch us on 21st. I went to Dorra. The lessons went well and the teacher was ok.
22nd is dong zhi. Love the black sugar rose cube as soup base. Hub had random craving for lobster and we went to seafood place at Khatib ns team with mum.
24th: We spent the Xmas Eve at pei House. Food was not nice especially the pizza. We bought choc and vanilla log cakes from nesuto and was yummy
Xmas Dinner spent at pei House again. Better Thai food as it is warm.. But I was worried as the boys were coughing. Even her helper..
26th: went for my mani pedi as they have no slot for dates nearer to cny. I bought lunch from Thomson Plaza and we spent rest of day at home
Met up with Serene and Grace on 28th. Yearly affair, not my favourite though..
We went to visit ah mah on 30th as she was having breathing issues. We then went to Wisma food court for dinner
Walked out to hero zi char at blk 513 to buy dinner. We spent our last day of the year quietly. Watched countdown with hub...
Goodbye 2022. You are a challenging yet fulfilling year. Lil C and I conquered the arduous P5 journey with her stellar results.
2023 here we come! 🙌
