TGIF

 Friday's.  I missed this resturant.  They closed down unfortunately.  The other American chains I like are Chilis and Tony Romas.  The Tony Romas across the border do not serve Pork Ribs.  Tony Romas have good potato skins.  Chilis have good ribs too.

I have stopped travelling.  Otherwise, I will go to Friday's in Tokyo and Seoul every time I travel there.  I loves the fajitas in Chilis.  The nice warm pancakes with sizzling beef and chicken topped with sliced onions and bell peppers.  

Reminiscing the good old days...

Rolex Service Center

 Rolex Service Center is between Lucky Plaza and Paragon.  We walked past the place numerous times.  This morning is my first time entering the service center.  My wife bought a new watch and the strap broke.  So she brought it there to get it fixed.  

There is a form to fill and then have to wait for your name to be called.  The lady that attended to us is quite nice.  She has this horrified expression that shows empathy.  She also did not need to see the receipt or warranty card.  This is pretty cool as they treat customers well.  I am quite happy with my wife's experience.

Mall Crawling

 My next door neighbour moved out after we had a protection order from the court for them to stop harassing us.  The new neighbour basically ripped out the whole house.  Last week and this week, it was so noisy with the hacking of the floor and walls.  We have to run to the malls to escape from the noise.

Since parking is expensive, we take public transport to go to the different malls.  Today, we went to Lucky Plaza, Paragon and lunch at the basement of Lucky Plaza.  Yesterday, we were at Waterway Point and CompassOne.

The good thing about mall crawling is the aircon is free as the weather is extremely hot.  Eating out at the mall is quite expensive.  Due to weather, my wife is very resistant to eating at any hawker center.  I am looking forward to the noisy environment stopping and staying at home with my computer!!

Beautiful Monday

 It is usually beautiful Sunday.  I feel Monday is beautiful too.  It is the start of work week.  My little baby is sleeping with grandma.  Baby was awake early.  Her diaper was wet and leaking.  I changed her diaper and made milk for her before sending B3 to NEX where Serangoon MRT station.  I return home quickly as I am worried that baby is up and about disrupting her grandma's beauty sleep.  The good thing is baby is back sleeping.  So sweet!!

Figuring out Dinner for Sunday

 I may roast a big Chicken, 1.4kg from Cold Storage.  It will be easy as I can put it in the oven or use the BBQ stove.  Then I just need to get a salad or boiled vegetables.  The other possibility is to get seafood from Geyland Serai Market and have boiled prawns.  The Cantonese style is simple.  Just boil the prawn and have dark soya sauce dip.

Tiong Bahru Bakery Deal

 On April's Fool Day, Tiong Bahru Bakery(TBB) had a deal.  For every bread purchased, you get a free drink.  We were at Tang's.  B3, our youngest boy was with us and we bought 4 breads.  For every bread purchased, we get a card that allows us to purchase 3 more times the bread with a free drink.  Yesterday, we used up one card and today we also had a drink in TBB Waterway Point.  

We have 5 more breads with free drinks left for April month!

Family Dinner Tomorrow

 B1 cycled home this evening.  B2 was around, so I reminded them of dinner on Sunday.  But B1 wanted dinner tomorrow instead.  I will cook up the 2nd tomahawk with french fries.  Will have to get some green.  I am thinking about whether to get some seafood from Geylang Serai market.


Geyland Serai has the freshest seafood at a fantastic price.

Weighing a baby - 10kg

 I have a bathroom scale which I use to weigh myself every day.  It is a good feedback system.  But I still eat too much.  I am overweight.  Forget about this rant.

When the baby was back, I decided to weigh her.  So I weigh myself.  The scale read 88kg.  There is a decimal point which now I have forgotten.  I then carry her and stand on the scale again.  This time it read 98kg to the same decimal point i.e. 88.7 to 98.7.  So my baby weighs 10.0 kg on April 2, 2024.  She is 11 months now.

Baby will be home today

 We are looking forward to seeing our baby today after a 10-day break.  She was in Japan and had a great time with her parents getting soft toys and enjoying the Japanese cuisine.  She also had pictures taken with sakura in bloom.  Great to see our baby enjoying herself.


Meanwhile, I am looking forward to Sinpopo tomorrow for lunch.  Sinpopo has a member's day every Wednesday.
