6 Sep 2024 – Happy Birthdays May and Olai
Tue: neighbour has started renovation works, the noise is too much to stay in my 4-walls and they are only doing minor works. Just imagine what it was like when all my interior walls(except for one!) and floor were hacked away 25yrs ago! hate to be any of my neighbours then!!
IKEA/TampinesS$176 – the free shuttle from Bedok goes every hour starting starting at 11.00hrs but did not want to deal with the crowd there in addition that the smaller shuttles are unable to sometimes fit everyone. Being a SeniorCitizen, there is no extra charges on bus fares for 2transfers Bus196-BedokInterC-Bus168 to TampinesAve10 crossing overhead bridge to discover a new bus stop in front of IKEA where Bus296 goes to TampinesInterC.

Gravlaks+veggie brunch and managed to check out some of the new things. Had enough around the time when the free shuttle went, tried my luck and got on the 14.45hrs back to BedokInterC connecting with Bus196.
Too tired to go out again despite Les’s fresh seafood catch but do appreciate the invite. Made my own Gravlaks with dill bought from Mustafa yesterday, hopefully enough treats gotten from IKEA too.
Wed: today StElisabeth in Tromsø/Norway is a hotel, but in 1978 it was a hospital with a maternity ward. Was there 46yrs ago today and as quoted in the poster – With screams and tears the greatest joy is born – pix downloaded. Happy 46Bday to my dearest 2ndBorn May. Adorable toddle&teenager and just as adorable today when&where it is permissible for mothers&grandmothers to say&think that their offsprings are the best – hahaha!

Enjoying the welcoming morning rains to relief the past few days of intense heat and also thank goodness for no reno-work ongoing at the neighbour’s today. Glad to be chilling in my own 4-walls with thoughts of my flock after the past 2days being on the hectic side.
Thu: tkx for yummy WontonMee brunch@BukitMerahView to mark the day that the youngest #6 of my flock is now a teenager – looking much forward to celebrating later in the month. Strange to no longer have elementary school grandchildren! Happy Birthday Olai
Oct2022: AirZone@CitySqMall was a great success for #6 but mormor was walking up&down the escalators this time round after learning from the last round with grandnieces,Devon&Eliot in Jan2022 that walking on these nets was not a good idea at this stage in life!! Glad to be able to use up the last of the 4tickets.
Jan2021: World’s 1st indoor-atrium-net-playground opened in 2018 and have been wanting to try this playground that span over levels 2-6@CitySquareMall. With nets connecting one level to the next and slides to get down it was no problems getting up&down holding on to the nets on both sides. Yes, did enquire about the age limit and with Les’s clinic just around the corner@FarrerPkMedicalCentre, it should be OK incase of emergency – hahaha!
Finally an excuse to play here, tkx to grandneices Devon&Eliot who are such a spot, but not easy to take pix trying to balance when there are 12others moving about (max 15). https://airzone.sg/
To be&stay in&on this playground, I had to look forward or upward and NOT down. And like life, live your moments looking forward&upward! And when I was down, it was not easy to get up again to look for Wally lol – surrounded by balls pix credit tkx to one of the younger crews who could stand and take this pix!

2021: AIRZONE-Indoor-Atrium-Net-Playground suspended over 3-storeys.
Fri: PekingDuck+++dinner at ImperialTreasure SuperPekingDuckRestaurant/Paragon. Theresa is the only one I know of who manages to get the chef to serve the remainder duck with glass-noodle and it is just as delicious as with noodles.
Most scrumptious BakedCrab on the shell, Braised-Abalone/Sea-cucumber/Broccoli, Sweet&SourPork + champagn&wine and dessert – what feast for the palate, thank you. My contribution was Gravlaks as a starter.
