New@MarineCrescent/Terrace Jan2025

22 Jan 2025 – New Washing Machine

Sun: tkx to Elisa for this share – would have considered continuing teaching (my last piano student was in 2000!) if I had students like these playing one of my favourite piano pieces Paganini-Liszt/LaCampanella arranged for 12 hands: (1) Video | Facebook 

Appreciations with tkx to Ivy&Les for delicious early ReunionDinner before Kat takes off. During this LoHeiDinner the most important auspicious sayings –
SafeJourneys 一路平安 to her and
GoodHealth 身体健康+GreatLuck&Prosperity 大吉大利 to all.
Mon: have seen this tree since it was a tiny sapling, ie~20yrs ago. Impresses me how promptly MarinePTC replies to whatever issues addressed to them and how quickly they have taken actions of my concerns&questions since my moved here ~25yrs ago!
In nature, nothing is perfect and everything is perfect. Trees can be contorted, bent in weird ways, and they’re still beautiful — Alice Walker
At the junction of MarineT+C by the traffic lights, looks like an elaborated and well-luminated wake to wake even the dead day or night!
財神FortuneDiety/MarineT-Food&Market is up&ready to bring in good fortune, day or night and do like that they are keeping to the colours of gold&red lights, very auspicious&fitting into the CNYcolours.
Welcome to the new IndiaMuslim-FoodStall/AlMeera’s/Blk59MarineT nearer to my end. Thought they packed up after the MRT-constructions but glad it was just under-covers for renovations, now can have ChickenBiryani here without having to go to LittleIndia.
Tkx to Jean for my favourite fresh SugarCane+LemonJuicesS$3.40 to last me for a couple of days – good for 4-8hrs in room-temp, 4-8days in the fridge but usually gone within 3days!
Though sugarcane juice is considered to be healthy, it is high in carbohydrates and sugar. It can spike blood sugar levels and thus should be consumed in moderation.
Overhead sheltered walkways, both under constructions across the JCT- MarineC-T-traffic-lights and on MarineC linking the only 2 bus-stops on MarineC – an eye-sore to some architects but practical to residents.
Tue: byebye to the 15yrs old LG-machine and hello new EuropAce-washing machine.
A long story with running around BestDenki@PP&GWC,  tkx to Clement for dinner and for letting me vent my frustrations of the day! Managed on my own to push the machine further back after dinner and after ~13,000steps of walking today. The delivery guys did not look clearly behind that there was more space next to the outlets and I did not check but took their words that it was not possible to push it back further after the delivery!
All’s well that ends well…

Wed: Happy 23rd Bday #1Katy. Time flies when you’re having fun, that means you must be having a blast because it feels like just yesterday you were born!

Appreciations to cousinKaren for lunch&CNYgift – so nice to catch up spending a delightful afternoon chattiing&shopping@PP
