8 May 2026 – The Mentalist

Tue: Cinco de Mayo=Fifth of May, commemorates Mexico’s victory over the French army at the Battle of Puebla (1861-1867). Will try to get some TexMex food sometime soon…

Used to celebrate this occasion when living in the USA with food from south of the border, refreshing frozen Margaritas, yummy tacos,guacamole and salsa. Also another good reason is to expose the children to different cultures and taste of foods.

With 5kids the Margaritas will be VirginMargaritas. Not a fan of Margaritas, so had BlueFlour made these and my plate of TacoSalad minus the shells and cheese.

Wed: supposed to meet@EC-Pk yesterday but had to re-schedule as it was pouring buckets then – welcome back Leng and tkx for one of my favourite Peranakan-dishes Ayam-Buah-Keluak lunch@Godmama/Funan. Appreciations to her for taking time off your her busy schedule to catch up. Stay healthy&safe until we meet again.
Thu: welcome Kiera back and what a treat for a Thu-dinner@Rochalie with Kiera and the family’s favourite fish+many other favourites by bro’s cooking.
Hearing news about the Hantavirus a few days ago which may have spread aboard a cruise ship – crusies are not me, so just imagine being stuck on one will be a total nightmare probably enought to kill me! – pix downloaded.
2SIN were on this ship now quarantined@CDA – pix downloaded.

Hantaviruses are a family of viruses which can cause serious illnesses and death. These viruses cause diseases like HantavirusPulmonarySyndrome/HPS and hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome/HFRS. They are spread mainly by rodents – pix downloaded. https://www.duke-nus.edu.sg/newshub/media-releases/hantavirus-and-tuberculosis

Fri: the power of the mind is a fascinating subject and with mentalism – a type of performing arts where a mentalist reads their subject’s movements,physical behaviors,other body language,etc using a combination of psychology&suggestion, and misdirection to create mind-bending illusions that challenge our understanding of the mind. While mentalism is only the illusion of telepathy, it has captivated audiences for centuries because it requires years of training and a deep understanding of the human mind.

Still in awe watching today’s young mentalists/DavidKwong,LiorSuchard&OzPearlman so much so to be wanting to follow

The Mentalist(2008-2015)with 7Seasons/151Episodes! and for one who does not follow with any DramaSeries, it is going to be interesting to see how many episodes these OldFlowerEyes 老花眼 can handle before getting bored😂

Lao Tzu said that if you search everywhere, yet cannot find what you are seeking, it is because what you seek is already in your possession.
