Safe Journeys To The Lees/Australia And The Tays/USA

19 Nov 2025 – Katy’s Bridal Shower

Sun: sorry to miss #1Katy’s BridalShower, here with her sisters #2Ellie&#4Sophie+shades bc of her recent eye-surgery. Looking much forward to be with my whole-flock for her wedding and wishing her all the happiness in the world as she is about to begin another new chapter in her life – pix credits to Linn.

Thanks to Linn for these pix with Ramona(friend from their UF/FL-days) and as she said – don’t blink, where did those 20+yrs go?? Appreciations to Ramona for being her support there.

Today in Tromsø/Norway, snow and more expected
Here in SIN enjoying the tropical rains on this lovely Sunday
Where ever U may be, plx stay healthy&safe
Det finnes ikke dårlig vær, bare dårlig klær=
There’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes
Relaxing&chilling with memories flashing back to those days when having to dress in layers and my first experience with putting chains on the wheels of the car. Looks like the snow there arrived earlier than expected, ppl are not quite ready, hopefully no serious injuries with accidents. At the stage in my life-journey reality strikes again – to avoid falling are one of the top priorities and being around familiar solid rounds is a wiser choice to be for now no matter how beautiful WinterWonderLand looks! Pix downloaded from Nordlys/Tromsø local newpaper. Tkx to Morten for this pix of his outdoor table with 55cm snow!
Mon: view from KampongBahruRd overhead bridge but the eyes still draws to the StTeresaChurch with the tiny opening MtFaber backgound patch with the shaded walkway. A white chicken with my matching hair-colour! did not cross the road but kept me compnay on the way to my SGH/GastroAppt – gastroscopy&colonoscopy from Sep cleared with minor inflammations, nothing serious.
Tkx to Clement for dinner@Victor’sKitchen/ChinatownPoint, has been many years ago since in both Victor’sKitchen/Chinatown&SunshinePlaza. Their 蝦餃HarGou/ShrimpDumpingsaa&鳳爪Phoenix/ChickenFeet are still decent…
Tue: last grocery-run@Giant/Tampines for 2025S$213.04 including Promo,SS,YuuS$29.38savings at this hypermart here which is all decked for Christmas. Started from my 4-walls bright&early ~07.30hrs. Poductive morming with gifts for the Tays, some TexMex foods+Xmas stuff off the list done, ending with
brunch@IKEA and back by ~13.30hrs. The only complain – bus168’s driver to-fro was one of the worst rides (even some of the other pax thought so!) making me wonder if it was the same driver both ways?
Will be writing to SBS, no use if no one does anything about such situations – updated Thu20Nov with their reply:

Nice to have had some time@Marriot/Tang’sPlaza (OvalsPizza+KangJiSugarCoatedFruits) with Harold & the Tays+the bundle of energy from the Twins!(if I had that kind of energy would have had NO problems doing another AT-Thru’Hike-hahaha)before they take off back to their USA homes tomorrow. Safe journeys to them+Judy&Richard who are also heading back to their home in Australia tomorrow. ChristmasLights on@OrchardRd but no energy or mood for that yet – pix credits to cousinAlfred&nieceCandice.

Wed: late morning delivery from Giant – should be good with laundry detergent until after 2026 Norway&USA trip, tyring out a new promotional brand.  Stuff for MiniChocolateChristmasWreath are in place to start making them soon, kitchen curtains repaired to hopefully last for a few more years?
