25 Apr 2024 – Welcome Linda&Alfred+Family
Mon: appreciations with tkx for these share of #4 at her high-school-track. 1stBorn@ 2004Governor’sCupHalfMarathon,SC/USA. Good to see them being active&healthy with their outdoor activities.
These red kiwis are really sweet, hopefully not adulterated&manipulated making them unhealthy to consume but will be careful with any produce from China! Do not usually buy any produce from China but was curious about this and doubtful if I will buy them again!
Happy Earth Day – nice catch up with AileenK for early lunch@PP BasementFoodCourt where they have one of my favourite StuffedTauPokRojakSauce 羅惹醬豆卜 and CenturyOldEgg+Ginger.
So sorry to hear of her mother’s(88) passing – condolences to her and the family. Time really flies and its been nearly 2yrs since she&Alan moved to Saudi, soon their time is over there and will be returning back here to SIN to be nearer their only(at the moment)grand-daughter who will soon be 2.
Tue: it’s a morning appt@SGH with Bfast@EvertonPk. Do like that the minced-meat noodles here@ChaoYuan served in real chinaware and is also rather good.
A short walk in this area when time permits – do enjoy checking out what is new and sometimes the contrast of new&old can be quite interesting.
Would usually prefer to take bus196 to NeilRd and then walking across NewBridgeRd&EuTongSenSt-HospitalDr going thru’ OutramCommunityHospital and today someone was practicing a good run with one of Mozart’s sonatas. A slight detour&longer walk is better than dealing with crowds on the shuttle that is unavoidable when@SGH-Blk3 but good that the shuttle is available for those less mobile. All’s well with the lungs and hopefully will stay that way – next appt here will be in Nov.
Metaphysical speculation is about as pointless as a discussion on the meaning of one’s lungs. They’re for breathing – PD James
Wed: sports bras from Decathlon have been a good support for the breast in all my hikes&walks and it’s time for a new one. The overhead bridge over MountbattenRd gives a good view towards the SportsStadium+skyline of this area in one direction and the GeylangRiver by the GeylangParkConnector in the other direction.
Mood was for GuzmanYGomez/I12Katong – decent TexMex, an Australian(have thought it to be a US-chain!) multinational casual-dining&fast-food chain – favourite from them being their mini bowl with grilled chicken+Guacamole&PicoDeGallo.
Thu: welcome to the Tay family from LA/USA back to SIN, now with 2additions – Zachary&Charlize who are as cute as can be and active as any 2yrs should be. Nice to meet with Alfred’s siblings and Harold – has been 10yrs ago since we last met! Thanks to them for taking time to catch up despite to their tight schedule. Appreciations for a good variety of PeranakanFood@SpicesCafe/ConcordeHotel – first experience here and highly recommended.
A taste of BabyOctopus,Jellyfish,KuihPaiTee,Rojak were perfect starters – satay was OK, on the dry-side.
Tasting 10 more dishes ending with a small bowl of Laksa which was scrumptious especially when able to choose just a strand of noodles while piling the prawns&raw cockles on. Good dessert selection with Chendol and to top it all, DurianPuree (perfect time to start the durian season)where even the kids had at least 5servings each, no kidding! A short walk with Linda&Candice who have never been to TekkaMarket/LittleIndia. Safe journeys onward to them who will be heading on their cruise after the weekend.
