The Chairman of the RC and his wife have been asking me to go Meet-the-People Session (MPS), talk about my mum, my area, MPS is on every Thursday, 7.30pm to 9.30pm.  I was like huh, go there for what, said what. I was hesitating, but in the end, I decided to go.

When I was there, the Chairman was there, his wife is away for Holiday.

So I register, under my mum name.  When it was my turn, the helper ask me, what help do I need.  Reply I do not know what to said as it's the RC Chairman who ask me to come.  Just then, the RC Chairman came and do the talking.

In the end, I did not see the MP, only the helper.  And was told my mum will get food pack, inside will have items like, biscuit, oat, Milo, canned food, etc, not too sure if it's once a month or what, will have to wait for the Community Centre to call.

The Social Worker came again on 29th May, usually, he will come at 2.30pm.  The previous week, the Manager of PPH Mr A was asking me when the Social Worker is coming as he wants to meet the Social Worker.  I text the Social Worker and mention to him about it.  He later called the Manager Mr A and I was told by the Social Worker that Mr A wanted to hand over the case to Mr L, the new incoming PPH Manager.  Mr A was leaving for another assignment.  But on the day the Social Worker came, Mr A and Mr L did not get to meet the Social Worker as  they have something to attend to.

Blue Monday (29th May)

On Monday, I need to go to the supermarket to get some grocery.  I have wanted to go to the supermarket at Jurong Point as I have something in mind to eat at Jurong Point.  But then the Social Worker coming in at 2.30pm and the Grassroots Leader also coming over at 2pm due to some housing problem.  And beside, that morning, my mum wanted to go PPH there have a cup of Milo and also I have to make sure she eat something before I go out.  And also I can't take my own sweet time when go supermarket, so go JEM which is nearer.

This stall at Westgate (Westgate and JEM are neighbour) used to sell only Fishball Noodle, Laksa, Pork Ribs Noodle, etc only.  Now they also starts selling rice set, so I decided to give it a try.

I had the Chicken Cutlet set which comes with a cup of Lime Juice, Coffee/Tea @ $5.30.

After eating, went to the supermarket and then back home where I have to unpack and keep those things I buy.  

The Grassroots Leader came, then the Social Worker.   Then came two National Environment Agency staffs to check for mosquito breeding as my area, there's few cases of Dengue.

After everybody left, I manage to rest for a while, then get ready to go for my workout.

My kaki is there that evening as that evening, her Brother is around that night so she do not have to rush back to take care of her mum.

Cheese Tart

The other time, while at JB celebrating my friend Birthday, when going back, after friend drop me off, thought I will walk one round at City Square before I return to Singapore.

Passing by Season, a Confectionery & Bake shop, saw their Japanese Cheese Tart with Salted Egg @ RM3.80 each, bought 2 pieces.

The second round, after the meetup with Wenn, before going back, I went to bought 2 pc of the Japanese Cholocate Cheese Tart @ RM3.80 each.

Both, I like.

A tiring Sunday (28th May)

My mum woke me up at 5am.  Only to realise she has soil and I had to clear up the mess and help her to shower before the time come to go wait for the transport to Church. 

It so happen an auntie who went church recently, she came to wait for the transport, we start to chit chat, she mention she's staying with the younger son, she has two son and one daughter, and the younger son had a 17 year old daughter, the wife walk off after the birth of the daughter and she has been taking care of the granddaughter since then till now.

As usual, the refreshment after the services, bread with curry potato filling and another item, the filling is sausage.

Pandan Chiffon Cake

Again, my mum wanted to go Seah Im Food Centre for lunch.  She had the fish soup, ordered $5 for her and a bowl of rice at $0.50.

The other time, I had the chicken rice with sambal, this round, had the chicken rice, Ayam Penyet @ $5.

The chicken, find it a bit cold, will be nicer if it's hotter.  Guess due to fasting month, fewer customers, so the chicken has been there for a while.

The chilli sauce

The rice, not very oily

There's a stall selling Fried Kway Teow,  my mum wants it, so ordered a plate @ $3 to share.

Walked one round in Harbourfront and end up in McDonald's where my mum wants coffee.  There's a McCafe there.  Saw that muffin set is $4.95, which is a muffin with a small cup of cappuccino. Cappuccino, if ala carte is $3.  Muffin, if ala carte is $3.45.

Earlier on, I bump into the Uncle, the one who I mention before he was going for the Senior Friendship breakfast on the 3rd Sunday of the month, now I know, he's Uncle Choo, he told me that there's a free dinner at Ang Chee Sia Ong Temple for Seniors and ask me to get tickets from the RC for my mum.  So I manage to get a ticket for my mum and was told that's transport provided to bring the Seniors to and back.  On the day itself, my mum said she didn't want to go.  So as usual, I went for the 5pn to 6pm workout.  When I reach home, my home phone rang.  Picked up the phone, it was the Grassroots Leader who called, she asked me, how come I didn't bring my mum to the pickup point to take the transport.  Reply, my mum doesn't want to go as she was alone.  So the Grassroots Leader ask me to bring my mum go so as not to waste the ticket and she will squeeze in a seat for me and ask me to called her when I reached and she will bring me and my mum to the seats.  Had a quick shower and then change before bringing my mum to the venue.  So I become a few hours Seniors for that night.  Reached home around 10.40pm.  And it was time to call it a night.

Johor Bahru (27th May)

Wenn WhatsApp me one month ago that she will be in JB and ask if we could meet up.  Of course, I was delighted.   But told her, I only familiar with City Square or Aeon Bukit Indah.  We set on City Square.  The last time I metup with her was in the airport while she was transiting.  As the transit time was less than 6 hours, she was not allow to come out.  We only meet through the glass window.  This round, we met in person.  I was telling Wenn, too bad my mum legs problem, if not, will bring my mum along to meetup with her and her mum and also broader crossing, inconvenient for my mum too.

I left my house early, as I do not want to be late and also I do not know if it's crowded at Immigration.  Singapore Immigration was smooth, but at Malaysia Immigration, it took me 40 minutes to clear Malaysia Immigration.

As I was early, I thought I will go have a cup of coffee first.  Went to Nyonya Leaf at Komtar JBCC.

Ordered a cup of Ipoh White Coffee @ RM3.50.

Three Season @ RM1.20, with the GST and service charge, total is RM5.20.

Since I still have time, I went to walk a while before proceed to the meeting place to wait for her.

As earlier on, she already had lunch with her Sister, we had Ice Cream and chit chat.

After depart with Wenn, at first I thought go back Singapore then take my dinner.  But since I was at City Square, might as well settle there before go back Singapore.  Had chicken wing , fish cutlet with spaghetti at Robin's Chicken.  It comes with a bit of fries, but the fries was cold.  The set cost RM10.30.

Ice Lemon Tea RM 3.30.  After GST and service charge, total is RM14.40.

After that, proceed back to Singapore.
