2 Dec 2024 – Hello December

Fri:  TGIF for this last Nov2024Fri – Happy 18Bday to #3 from a lovely cool wet SIN morning. A few more blinks and he will be graduating HighSchool and joining #1@UofSC. What I like most on days like these is having the sidewalks to myself!

Basic health screening for hearing&sightS$2@Blk15MT – a new experience but will probably be the first&last…

Thankful to Gel for getting me to try oysters@Fairprice/PPS$17.50 – nice way to start the festive holiday mood after getting the overseas snailmail out and great for me with hardly any crowds despite it being a Fri.

1st time in a Scoop/PP, delighted to discover that they do have CacaoNibsS$4.90/100gr

Sat: appreciations for gifts&DIY PopiahS$28 薄餅+LaksaS$41 辣 沙 Such fun to be able to make your own Popiah and have only the fillings you wish to eat. FortuneFoods do a decent job with deliveryS$18 for both these set and it is worth the total of S$87 for min stress on me to get all the shopping&preparations.

By choice just had to get more prawns(not enough for me in the sets!)+fresh BeanSprouts,LaksaLeaf,Lettuce. Made Tiramisu for dessert and pleased to see&taste that am still able to do a good one, been a while ago since the last one made! Served most of the food in disposable tableware including BananaLeaf for placemats – min washing up.

One of the best parts of the holiday season is spending time with the special people in your life – Obama

Sun: 1stSunday of Advent – as we enter into the holiday season, remember to stay healthy&safe and take time to give yourself some quiet peaceful moments to get away from the rush&stress, also a reminder to all that we may have different religions, different languages, different colored skin, etc but we all belong to one human race

CCF+Congee-Bfast@MT Market with Helen.

BananaCakeDessert and introducing her to the Chocolate+ThankfulAdventCalendar and figs wrapped with ParmaHam.

Thank you for scrumptious dinner w 6medical doctors – definitely in good hands if medical attention is needed, hahaha! Delighted to meet LeLeAung from Myanmar to discover we have common friends in SierraLeone/Africa and that she is a classmate of YasmineFadluDeen who I babysat in the 1960s, Dublin/Ireland – small world! DeepFriedFlyingFish gets the presentation attention and lived up to its name. My humble starter contribution of a western style smoked salmon…

Being in ImperialTreasureSuperPekingDuck/Paragon, the duck is a must and consumed in 3different ways.

Short walk on OrchardRd to catch the bus36 getting the front seat instead of MRT to get into the mood for this festive holiday month which does not get easier as time goes by.

Mon: stomach needs to rest for a day before more festive foods ahead…
