As per normal

10th Nov (Sat)

There's an eatery place which is not very far from my workplace that I have wanted to check it out.  But no chance on weekdays as I have to be back before the stated time to wait for the transport to bring my mum's back.

Since I'm working today, and I need not rush back as Saturday, my mum don't go to the Day Care Centre, I decided to check out the place.

Not all stalls are open.

I had pig organ soup @ $3.50

With yam rice @ $0.70

11th Nov (Sun)

Early in the morning, I ask my mum if she wants to go church, at first she said she doesn't want to go.  After a while, ask her again, she's ok, so we went church.

After service,  was asking her if she wants to go home or go Harbourfront makan.  She wants Harbourfront.

She had sliced fish mee sua @ $5

I had braised duck rice with an add on @ $3.50.  This duck rice has been around for a long time and the guy still recognize me.  He told me, when I know you, you are still young.  You should be younger than me.  So I ask him, if you don't mind I ask you, how old are you.  He told me his age, his age and my age, not very far apart.

The soup for the braised duck duck

Usually, will go walk one round and look look see see ferries to Batam, then see if my mum wants to have anything for brunch before going back.  But my mum complaining her leg tiring after crossing the overhead bridge, so told her we go the nearest KFC sit sit then we go back. 

The dining crew of KFC overheard me telling my mum we go find a seat to sit.  He ask me, you eating, then point to me the kiosk machine, I feel like telling him, I won't come in and sit and not ordering anything.  You have to let me settle my mum first mah before I go and order foods.

Order a snacker @ $4.20, used to be $4, now the price increase by $0.20.  KFC now is say NO to straws.  There's a notice stating if you really need straw, approach the service crew.

As I need a straw so that it will be easier for my mum to drink.  I request a straw from the service crew, who insisted that NO straw.  So I point out to the notice, then I was given a straw, and the service crew told me, i'm following instructions.

Went for the 5pm Sundays at the Park workout, each participant was given a box of snack by the RC volunteer, guess there's balance from an event, so we were given a box each.

1st weekend of the month

1st Sept (Sat)

Miss my Saturday morning exercise for two weeks, this morning, I manage to make it for the exercise.

After the exercise, need to buy food for my mum.

I had spicy pork with vegetable wanton @$3.

Two days back, I WhatsApp Mrs Choo younger son asking him how is Mrs Choo.  He reply me with his mum's ward no. and ask me to visit his mum if I am available.  Reply him I will let PPH Brethren Church Chinese Ministry Pastor know about it also and let Pastor decide if he's available to visit her.  He then ask me again if I will go and visit his mum.

Receive a WhatsApp message from Pastor that he visited Mrs Choo at the hospital yesterday.  

So today, my turn to turn up at the hospital.  At first, Mrs Choo was all right, but again, she mention, die better.  Then when I started to talk to her helper, she then said that I was teaching bad things to her helper and ask me to go back and don't come again.  From what I understand, she has ever chase away Pastor sometimes back when he visited her.

My brunch before I go back home, chee cheong fun with soon kueh @ $2.80.

2nd Sept (Sun)

My mum was telling me it's Monday and going Senior's Club.  So tell her, starting new month, got new comer staying at PPHCSC that block, we need to walk there wait for the transport.  So off we go to church.

At first, my mum was saiding want to follow the transport back home.  Then last minute change her mind, want to go Seah Im Food Centre for lunch.  Saw a new stall selling pig organ soup, kway chap, etc. My mum had kway chap but instead of the kway, she change to yam rice.

While at Harbourfront, usually after visiting the ladies, we will go to the area where passengers board the ferries to Batam to look look see see at the ferry and sit sit then have some brunch before going home.  My mum throw a bit of  tantrum and said wait to go Heavenly Wang eat marcaroni, but while on the way, again, throw a bit of tantrum and we end up at McDonald's.  Order a filet-o-fish set meal @ $5.50 for her.

Sunday (8th Oct)

On Saturday, my mum was saiding she doesn't want to go church the next day.  It so happen Auntie Mary called me that night to tell me something.  The next morning, I bluff my mum, Auntie Mary called and ask me if she's going church, when Auntie Mary heard that she is not going,  she's disappointed my mum not going.  My  mum change her mind had go.

At the waiting point for the transport which is outside PPHCSC, Uncle Tang, Auntie Mary, another Auntie, my mum and I was early. The Auntie was asking what my mum usually do at home, my mum heard the Auntie asking about her, she sudden throw tanturm, Auntie Mary sweet talk her and she calm down.

Uncle Choo son was there, but not Uncle Choo.  Usually Uncle Choo son come on the dot.  Ask him, where's your Dad, he reply quarrel, since he's sitting at the back and i'm sitting in front with my mum, didn't ask more.

When at the church, ask him what happen that he quarrel with his father, only to realise his father quarrel with his mother.

Refreshment after the church service

My mum had her usual duck porridge, while I had Yong Tau Foo mi tai bak @ $4.

A bowl of soup with vegetable

It so happen I was walking around undecide on what to eat when I bump into the Chinese Ministry Pastor wife who is there having a brunch before rushing for her appointment.  She was asking where's my mum, told her my mum is sitting behind and I was looking around seeing what I wanted to eat, when I was back with the Yong Tau Foo, she has shift to the same table sitting with us.

My mum wants mutton soup with bread @ $4.50, but she couldn't finish the bread and have it pack back.

After walking one round, my mum said she was full, told her we go have a cup of coffee before we go back.  We went McDonald's.  At first she wants soup, told her I order soup for her from McCafe.  She the change her mind saiding she wants nuggets with drink which I told her, if order set, will be more worth it, but can finish anot as set consist of 6pc nuggets, fries and drink.

In the end, she said she wants cake.  A piece of Mango Cheesecake cost $5.

Cappuccino costs $3.  If order set, Mango Cheesecake with cappuccino cost $6.50.

After coming back, I did not go for Sundays at the Park workout.  Was thinking, since I have to do cleanup for the house, might as well I do spring cleaning, so when CNY coming next year, I have lesser cleanup.  I only did the kitchen as I chasing after a Taiwan drama that night.

Sunday (1st Oct)

At first, my mum said she doesn't want to go church, I told her, if she doesn't want to go, the next few days, the workers are coming to do the toilet/bathroom, cannot go anywhere, have to be at home.  The most if she wants to go have a walk is downstair.

At the refreshment area after the service, was chatting with Uncle Choo where he mention his wife is admitted to hospital, ask him which hospital, he says "see pie po" (in hokkien), I thought it's Singapore General Hospital (SGH) as most of the time, I heard people saiding "see pie po" is SGH.  Only to realise his wife is in National University Hospital (NUH).

As usual, after service, my mum wants to go Seah Im Food Centre for lunch.  At first, she wants Duck rice, but there's Q, she change her mind and have sliced fish soup with rice.

It has been a while since I had briyani, as usually I find the rice a lot.  Since my mum around, thought if I had briyani, I could share some with her.

Ordered a fried chicken briyani @ $5 which comes with an egg.

The egg, should have request for more chili

The fried chicken, quite small piece

I like long grain rice, bought once a packet back to cook, but my mum doesn't like it, so no long grain rice for me at home.

Then went Harbourfront walk one round, my mum wants the chicken macaroni from Heavenly Wang, I ask her, if she can finish it, as I'm still quite full from the briyani I eat.  She said can, so order a chicken macaroni set @ $7.80, where we share the coffee and toasted bread.

After that, we went back where I rest for a while before going for the Sundays at the Park Workout.  Feel good after workout as I have not been exercising for a week.  Caught flu last Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday , starting of Home Improvement Plan for 10 days (Exclude Sunday).
