Rediscover Sg Vouchers

The year's coming to an end and me and Kelvin still haven't used our SR vouchers so we decided on the Labrador park walking tour and seafood buffet dinner afterwards.

I have never been to Labrador park - same as Kelvin, although we both used to work so near and I was surprised there were so many people running. The nature reserve was small and the walk was a bit boring aftwards lol. 

When we reached the restaurant I was quite surprised there were so many people there, like in the middle of Labrador park. The buffet was actually quite good, they gave us half a lobster each, they have oysters, scallops, prawns, wagyu beef, hot fried stuff, free flow drinks etc etc. We took a bit too many but we spammed the seafood - that's the main attraction right. 

Also, Kelvin asked me to be the MC for his wedding dinner and I agreed. That will be next July then.

Xmas 2021

This year's Xmas was not to shabby. I went to Jessie's house early to make Danish Xmas rice pudding - inspired by my friend who stayed in Denmark and that was one of his fav things during Xmas.

Rice, milk, double cream, almonds, cherry compote.

It was a success and Lilian had 4 helpings lol. I had some leftovers so I took some for Huang Wei who gave me the pecan pie the other time.

Jessie made vegetarian Lasagna coz Lilian's family is vegetarian. It was really good too but I miss the meats.

And look what Jessie gave me for Xmas!!! LOL when I opened it I was really shocked coz she knew I was eyeing that Thom Browne T-shirt but she gave me socks hahaha. It's cheaper. I also got a scented candle from Lilian and another rose body bath from Jessie. I gave some gummy vitamins for Nikolai and Xmas tree scented candle for Jessie.

Not too bad for Xmas this year.

Bazi reading

I had dinner with Delon the other day and he mentioned his brother went to see a chinese fortune teller - using Ba Zi, and she was quite accurate. So I have been thinking of seeing as well for many years but I just didn't think much about it because I don't know who or where to find one. So I booked an appointment and saw her last weekend.

It was... half accurate and half not. Accurate in telling about my work and career wise, like 2018 was very stressful for me but it turned out better and better, and also she said I have nothing to worry about because I am usually very fortunate and things will always turn out just fine for me. Oh wells, at least I got a reading and kinda gave me a sense of assurance already.

Spiderman: No way home

Spoilers ahead.

So this Spiderman went to watch the latest and newest spiderman movie in IMAX. I couldn't wait because of all the spoilers everywhere but wow! The open secret: all 3 Spiderman together. I was so excited I couldn't breathe and all of them spidermaning together??? It's every Spiderman fan's dream. 

This was the best Spiderman movie in the history of all Spiderman movies. And Andrew Garfield is still the best Spiderman, Tobey was so awkward like he didn't act for many years. Tom was... very kiddish as usual but he was good as well. 

This is really a big turn for MCU Spiderman story, it actually restarted the whole Spiderman story. It's the endgame feeling over again... might need to wait for so long till the next Spiderman movie.

Anyway after that I went for a massage at Natureland and it felt so good. And dinner with the choir peeps while we gave spoilers to Pear and Sida.

weird dreams

I don't know why I've been having weird dreams lately.

Last week I dreamt that I was lifted up to the top of the warehouse by some machine, and I was shouting for help and so scared of falling, and some ninjas came to jump on the containers on the top of the warehouse, and I also jumped but I tumbled backwards and fell from a really tall height and I was thinking - this is it I'm gonna die. And then I woke up.

Just yesterday I also dreamt that I was in bed with my ex-best friend whom I haven't talked to in years??? So weird.

Pre-xmas weekend

Jessie bought a Xmas tree again this year!

This year's tree so much taller and fuller than last year's. She invited Lilian and her babies over for lunch and deco! I love her babies. Leonid is so cute and Nikolai was just super curious and hyper, running around and touching everything.

Kids should be like him, he's super sociable and wants to try everything and so hyper. I was so tired having to play with him, carrying him up and down my shoulders for him to reach the top of the xmas tree.

6.30pm, we went to esplanade for Woon's concert. It was unexpectedly good! The lights changed according to the music and I just love strings and voices harmonizing together. The music was Norwegian folklore which I really adore. Even Jessie said she closed her eyes and it was really good. I gotta get the songs from her. 

Sunday was another round of visiting at Jessie's but this time the kids could entertain themselves and I was just chilling at the dining table and munching on things and talking to my cousins. I was a bit tired from the previous day so decided to tone down. We had dinner and I had this Korean stout beer which was pretty dark but $20, luckily Jessie treated haha.

Xmas day itself is another round. Hahaha I will be so tired.

One week leave!

I had 13 more days of leave to clear before the end of the year so I took a whole week of leave, plus Friday medical checkup.

Friday

I haven't got a medical checkup for 2 years already, I thought it was time just because the year is ending and it's my company benefit for the year so I booked Mt Elizabeth Orchard. The checkup was quite smooth, a lot of tests, the staff were so nice but the breakfast was bad. I went to Tiong Bahru market for lunch and then forty hand for coffee to use my voucher.

I kinda forgot what I did on Sat and Sun but I did went to Queenstown, and also bugis library to borrow comics.

Monday

Gym, and I think I stayed at home. Oh I met Domi at night to consult him on some designs. Luckily he's having school holidays!

Tuesday

Went to Orchard to deposit my poop sample for medical screening, and then had Ma Maison for lunch, walked around for a bit and went home for dinner.

Wednesday

Gym, then met Max the issuer for sushi. Ah I so miss the Izakaya sushi. No pics coz I had too many pics of them.

Thursday

Was supposed to go Sentosa with Domi but it was raining so we changed plans. Honestly Sentosa was just a whatever kinda plan coz I really don't know what to do when I'm on leave. We went to city hall for coffee and Suntec for some furniture shopping, had dinner and then bugis and back home. We agreed it was better than Sentosa.

Friday

Gym, then Delon for dinner. I was craving oysters so we went to oyster bank. The oysters were really fresh and plump and juicy. It was really nice catching up and he's annoying as usual but I learnt a few things from him.
