Fell of the Bed. Head bruised!!

 Last night, my granddaughter fell off the bed and was bruised on the forehead and both sides of the head.  It broke our hearts.  She was left on the bed by her father, our 2nd son.  He goes into the toilet to wash his hands and she falls.


We are furious with him as he does not understand the baby is growing fast and will be able to move.  Only yesterday morning we sent the videos of the baby starting to crawl.  Hopefully, he learns his lesson and watches her like a hawk.


This morning my granddaughter was quiet and clingy.  Seems like she is still recovering from the shock.  We were too and did not make her laugh as usual.  By afternoon, she warms up and we also relaxed and started to make her laugh happily.

Manga Craze

 Recently, I have been escaping to manga comics in Youtube.  The storyline is pretty standard.  Office worker, no university degree make good.  Girlfriend stolen by boss or colleague.  Then after a few years, the guy became rich or had a successful company.  The ex-girlfriend and her current boyfriend will make disparaging remarks. The the protagonist will be revealed as the CEO or successful games producer.  The girlfriend will change their mind and want the protagonist back but another girl will be telling the ex off.


The plot of the manga comics is very simple and the themes are all similar.  Watching them is a brain dead activity.  An entertaining way of passing time for now.  Once I am tired of my manga craze, I will have to seek new avenue to past time.

Nyonya Resturant Sinpopo in Tangs

 Today there is a one for one deal in Sinpopo.  So we will go check it out.  The food in Sinpopo is quite nice but pricey.  So if there is a deal, we will take since it is better value.  I like the resturant as there is a nursing room nearby.  So it is convenient to spend time there with my granddaughter.  Just order one item.  If it is drink, cost is about $10.  Any food item will cost about $20.  It is like paying rental for the ambience and I can just enjoy the company of my sweetheart.  The nursing room nearby makes it stress free.

Chinese New Year Upon Us

 In 2 days, it will be CNY eve.  I am still thinking of dinner plans.  My wife commanded that we do steamboat.  So now I have to get the items.  I loved the fishballs and beancurd skin.  However, my wife believes in real fish and real meat (instead of meatballs).  My plan is to buy fresh food from Geylang Serai market.  The seafood there is fresh and at a good price.  My fridge and freezer are all cluttered up with stuff.  So we will have to clear up the fridge to store the new year groceries.

Now I have 2 married sons.  This year the dinner will be bigger.  Instead of our usual 5, we have 7 adults and a baby.  My family has grown and shrunk.  The married boys are out of the house.  So usually only 3 sleep in the home, my wife, granddaughter, and I.  On weekends, our baby boy is home replacing our granddaughter.

We are empty nester:(
