PJ#778 - 11th to 17th March 2024

Happenings:

- We watched "Kung Fu Panda 4" on Wednesday

- Clara is 1.45m tall and weighs 46.3kg now.

- Daddy and I walked all the way to Jurong Lake Gardens on Friday evening.

Eateries: Lucky Saigon Cafe, Tsukimi Hamburg, Udders Ice-cream, TB

17 Mar 2024 (Sun) - Clara is 9 years 2 months old today.

Church in the morning and we brought the kids out after church since they had no tuition.

We had lunch at People's Park and thankfully they did not complain much despite the weather being so hot and we were sweating. They had braised duck rice and daddy ordered char kway teow. I decided to order from one of the Michelin Guide stalls - Hong Peng La Mian Xiao Long Bao. I ordered a bowl of beef noodles and a basket of XLB.

The beef noodles were good - the beef tender and noodles were fresh. It was a really big bowl and priced at only $5! The XLBs were very good too, very soupy inside, yums! Oh, the XLBs cost $5 too.













Did some shopping at OG then brought them to Udders Ice-cream at Beach Road for a frozen treat since its the last day of the school holidays.

C had Cookies & Cream ice-cream, Clara "Strawberry Fields" and daddy "Kueh Salat". The Cookies & Cream ice-cream was good, as like all Oreo chocolate ice-creams. I never like strawberry ice-cream but this one was sooooooo good, it tasted like the real fruit! I also love the Kueh Salat ice-cream. It tasted like the real kueh itself and even had bits of kueh inside!

















Shopping at Bugis after that before going home.

16 Mar 2024 (Sat) - I made pancakes for breakfast today.












Lunch today is steamed grouper slices, fried egg and stir-fried cabbage for daddy and I. The kids had unagi instead of steamed grouper.










Tuina in the evening and we went to IMM for dinner.

15 Mar 2024 (Fri) - Clara woke up at 6am today to braid C's hair. Today is SCSS's Diamond Jubilee Concert and C will be involved in part of the dance for her CCA.













I brought Clara to Pioneer Polyclinic for her 8.10am appointment to check the mole on her scalp. It was a short wait and she will be referred to NUH to see the skin specialist on Monday. Sent Clara over to the Fairy-grandmother's place before going to Hillion.

Lunch at Tsukimi Hamburg JP. There is a limited-time collaboration between Tsukimi Hamburg and Gokoku Japanese Bakery serving beef and pork hamburgers at only $5 today. The burgers were humongous and soooooo juicy! We decided to flatten the raw egg yolk so that it would drizzle all over the patty. Super love!














I could not resist buying my favourite Shio Pan after lunch, haha.













In the meanwhile, the Fairy-grandmother brought Clara to JEM for Pepper Lunch (tea time) and played at Timezone.















It was a peaceful evening for me without the kids and C returned home after midnight, haha. 

I had the sudden impulse to take a walk after dinner and suggested that we walk to Jurong Lake Gardens. I think I felt a bit heavy and guilty after that heavy lunch and snack, haha. It was a cool walk to Jurong Lake Gardens and it has changed a bit since the last time we walked there (maybe 2 years ago??). There is a Starbucks there now. It seems like a pretty cool place to chill at. The walk back home was also nice and cooling and I jogged a fair bit. I felt super tired by the time we reached home. We clocked a total of 6.98km and walked for 1 hour 55mins, lol.















14 Mar 2024 (Thurs) - Yay no class today. C had to go for CCA and asked me to wake Clara up at 8.30am to braid her hair. 














I went for my ZM appointment at Tanglin and yay, I don't have to go back anymore.

Back at home, Clara has been very productive, doing assessments and attending her Lingo lesson. We brought her to PYS after dinner for more medicine for her mild cough. 

Dinner tonight is udon soup with pork belly and fishballs.

13 Mar 2024 (Wed) - Wednesday is another mad rush morning to Hillion for morning classes, after which both Desiree and I stepped into IORA which was outside and stepped out with new loots (3 new tops for myself haiz). Back to JP for lunch. Her "Hainanese Pork Chop Rice" was nice.












Brought the kids to watch "Kung Fu Panda 4" in the evening. We had early dinner at BK and Clara shocked me by finishing two Mushroom Swiss burgers!















12 Mar 2024 (Tues) - Clara had choir in the morning and C stayed home. The Fairy-grandmother settled them for the day, yay~

Lunch with Desiree at Lucky Saigon Cafe. It's my second visit there. She ordered the "Chicken Banh Mi" while I ordered the "Traditional Vietnamese Slice Beef Pho". We also shared a plate of "Fresh Spring Rolls". The Vietnamese food here is authentic and really good.


















Shopping at ION and Wheelock before settling down for kopi at Shaw TB. I bought a Shio butter pan from Johan Bakery but it was not as nice as the one from Gokoku. It's nice, but its not as soft and buttery. Priced at $2.60, its $0.70 more expensive too. 













Back to Jurong after that and I met up with daddy for dinner after he knocked off from work. Tomato bee hoon soup at JEM for me.









11 Mar 2024 (Mon) - Hillion in the morning then lunch at JP. It's been quite sometime since I ate 卤肉饭.











Dinner tonight is AF teriyaki salmon and stir-fried broccoli with shrooms.
