Blessed Lunar New Year

Weekend (10th & 11th Feb)

10th Feb (Sat)

My mum was given a ticket for a senior event in the evening.  As usual, we went Church.

After service, instead of having our early dinner at Bt. Merah, I tabao a packet of chicken rice with a chicken liver at $3.50 back to eat, as for my mum, dinner is provided for her.

Brought my mum to the venue of the event.  Thought I will leave my mum there and come back after the event to bring her back.  Then an auntie told me that I could be around as there are those Ah Gong/Ah Ma helper who are there with them. 

Lao hei for the elderly, had a quick snap of it before they start to toss.

2 mandarin oranges for the elderly

11th Feb (Sun)

I need to fill up my fridge as it's almost empty.

Before going to the supermarket, had bento set, Saba fish, chicken cutlet with rice and fruit.

After buying grocery, a piece of Sundae Pie @ $2.95.

The mandarin oranges come in box of 36 which I find too much, so the guy was mentioning how about I take 18, 18 is ok for me.  So he sold me at $12.50.  Box of 36 selling at $23.80.

Bought this 风信子 @ $3.50 at Bangkit Road.  Usually I will buy it every year.

My dinner - bread

Day 5 @ Day Care Centre (9th Feb)

After my mum has board the transport to the Day Care Centre, I went over to PPHCSC for the Friday breakfast session and to read the newspaper before going over to the Day Care Centre.

Breakfast for the day, beehoon with egg and youtiao. 

A slice of cake for those there as they have a monthly birthday celebration.

Bingo time

My mum lunch, thick beehoon with yong tau foo and vegetables.

Since I was not hungry after having the breakfast at PPHCSC, I had ice cream(small) @ $3.20.

My mum tea break

I have sign up for a talk Understanding and Management of Anxiety Disorders, I was quite tired and don't feel like going, but since I have sign up, I go for it.

Day 4 @ Day Care Centre (8th Feb)

There's an elderly auntie who stays a storey below me and she also goes to the Day Care Centre, but different Centre.  But her's, the transport fetch her earlier.  Ask my mum if she wants to go down earlier to chat with the auntie.  She's ok, so we were earlier than the usual timing we went down.

My mum lunch, brown rice with cabbage, fried tofu, chicken.

Last few day, I bring my own lunchbox, today, eat at the coffeeshop nearby, I have yet to try the laksa as the stall is popular for the fishball noodle. 

Afternoon, there's volunteers from PPH Brethren Church who comes and sing song, perform for the elderly and Pastor preach a short message.  Heard they comes alternate Thursday.

Tea break for my mum  - a slice of cake (brought over by the Church to celebrate February birthday) and pumpkin kueh.

Then it's exercise time, Kpopx @ Science Park 1.

Day 2 @ Day Care Centre (6th Feb)

Was surprise when my mum asked me what time does the transport pick her and what time to go down to wait for the transport.  Thank God she didn't throw tantrum.

In the Day Care Centre, ask a staff, about what the Senior's do.  Was told, Monday to Friday, 10.30am, they will exercise for 1 hour.  Then lunch time.  1.30pm, they have activities for the Senior's.  Then tea break before the Senior's go home.

Lunch for my mum is noodles with chicken and cauliflower.  I like this type of noodle, so went to ask one of the staff, was told the noodle was cater.

Tea break is yam cake

As the Day Care Centre was mentioning about my mum using walking frame, but if I were to get her a walking frame, she might not want to use it.  Sometimes back, my auntie mention she has a walking stick in the storeroom.  Check with her, the walking stick is still in the storeroom, so I went over to her place to collect it.

Dinner is zhi char at the Food Court near my auntie house.  One of the dish we order is chicken.

Another dish will be the salted egg prawns

Day 1 @ Day Care Centre (5th Feb)

My mum started her Day Care Centre on 5th February.

A day before, on Sunday, I inform her that she's going Day Care Centre the next day.  She keeps insisting doesn't want to go.  The day itself, she still insist doesn't want to go.  Told her, I will go with her.  The transport fetch her from the void deck to the Day Care Centre.  As the transport is only for my mum, I have to make my own way there after my mum board the transport.

 There's Government subsidy for the Day Care Centre fee and transport fee, but i still have to pay for the fee for the Day Care Centre and transport.

Hopefully, I won't bump into those aunties who likes to ask questions like, do you have to pay for it? Is it free?

In the morning, they do exercise.  Then at around 12 noon, it's lunch time.

Lunch is brown rice with fish, tomatoes, vegetable, minced chicken with potatoes.

Afternoon, there's bingo

Then it's tea break time, croissant with chicken ham.

Then it's Home Sweet Home.

In the evening, before going for my class, was at the Food Court having sea coconut with cocktail.
