Buffet Dinner (Parkroyal)

Long time since we had a buffet.  Used to have it every now and then. This is a treat by our Boss. 

My team members, most of them for the past 10 years or more.  

This year is my 20th year in the same company, in the same role in the same team…

Amazing.  20 years just passed, in a blink of eye, unknowingly.

Tampopo

Lunch today at Tampopo - original pork bone soup.  This is nice and the serving is a smaller version (70% - 七分饱).  Just nice for a late lunch! 

Another GEM! Toa Payoh Lorong 8

Recently into this hawker centre at Toa Payoh Lorong 8. 

The 蚝煎 and fried sotong mee is really good! 

The oyster omelette is fried to a crispy and fits us perfectly!  Sometimes the oysters are fresh, sometimes not.  

This fried hokkien mee is by a old couple where the auntie is very friendly.  Minimum wait is 1 hour… But the taste is good…. 

On Leave - Day out since 8am plus

Went out shopping (first long shopping since Covid days).  First to TCM - Louise checked us and gave us medicine.  Then to Chinatown for breakfast and wet marketing.  Then to Bugis to pray and bought lunch for my parents.  

Lastly to People’s Park to get the usual household stuff and also to tabao the Yong Tau Fu for dinner.  Then my parents went home with the full load of stuff.  

2nd part is the Me time for myself.  Went shopping, brows shaping and took passport photo.  Shopped around and clocked nearly 20,000 steps!  My legs were aching like crazy…. 

But just managed to get a new top from From There On. 

Sums up my day.  Tiring… 

Oh.. am into Aglio Olio these days.  Was craving for pasta for lunch just now and just landed in Secret Receipe cos they had this Seafood Aglio Olio…. It was nice and spicy… 

End of the week

Sunday.  Went out today for my hair treatment. 

Got chaffeured to and fro.  Wanted to go around after the treatment but decided not to.  Good decision I guess - reached home early for a late lunch and a short nap thereafter.  

Then a good dinner with the yummy AMK pig trotters and A&W fried chicken.  Then.. rest and slack until now - getting ready for bedtime.  

Another week of WFH and back to office following week. 

After this Covid eposide, I decide to take supplements (especially probotics for my gut health) instead of just relying on TCM…  

And so… finally 1 line. 

Finally plucked the courage to do the test today - the 12th day for me and Mum. 

And yeah finally.  After seeing this result this morning, immediately started cleaning up the house and arranged for aircon cleaning tomorrow.  Dettol, disinfectant spray and repeat. 

Today is Friday. Finally rest. Finally can breathe and relax abit. 

Tmr is another cleaning day.  Aircon cleaning and changing bedsheets thereafter.  

Tired.  What a July 2022. 

Longest… tiring week

I got tested positive for Covid-19 on Monday.  Together with Mum. Kemp tested positive the next day.

Isolated (as far as possible) for the next few days. 

Dad has been taking care of us, buying lunches, cooking dinners. 

Me - fever, sore throat. Then became cough, then running nose. Headache, giddy, then headache and giddy again.  Then now gums swollen again. Sick of being sick.  Sick of being weak.  

Sick of everything…. 

Being sick is 1 thing.  Having to clean up while being sick… is sick. Have to keep an eye on my Mum is tiring - making sure she doesnt go near Dad etc. 

Sick….
