😞

Yesterday I called my Friend whose father was in ICU hereabouts she was saying that her Father was in critical condition, and receiving don’t know what treatment from the Doctor team’s at the hospital. And she said to me not to come because she just wanted to spend time with her Father.

After that moments my feelings dropped, I just feel while somebody fighting for their life in the hospital, the world just functions as per normal, happiness still goes around, while others may be mourning for something.

This afternoon suddenly I received a text from my dear friend saying that her father has already gone to be together with God in heaven. It even made my heart heavier than yesterday.

I wish I had come yesterday to the hospital for a while, regardless I couldn’t come in as I am also still recovering from flu.

My heart is as gloomy as Singapore sky right now, and very heavy.

Good bye Uncle, may you Rest In Peace, thank you for sharing your laughters, joys as well as business insights when you were still healthy

And to you my dear Friend and family deepest condolences to you all, be strong and take care.

Koo Kee Yong Tow Foo Everytime I eat this remind me of my younger days, when I was still a tourist in Singapore, eating this at Orchard Emerald, followed by going up to Time Zone upstairs to play Daytona Racing. While Mama is busy shopping along Orchard Road Equipped by a few stacks of coins to practice my Daytona Racing so that I could beat my Friend in Jakarta, when we escaped from school to go to Time Zone to play 😬 It was so much cheaper to play in Singapore at that point of time. I still remember 1 coin is 50 cents which equal to Indonesian 500 Rupiah, while in Jakarta, it’s 4500 Rupiah per play, at that time 1 SGD was still about less than 1000 rupiah 🙄

About Friendship Throwback Last Friday I had a chance to meet my Long time “instagram Friend” which after further talk then we suspected that we’ve been Friend since “Multiply” time. Started by following each other in the social media and occasionally sending direct message, when I saw her posting about Singapore, I put in a lot of courage to ask her to meet up (yeah been a while since I really meet up with people that I haven’t met in real life before) We talked over “Valrhona Dark Chocolate” drink from Old Hen Cafe. We started of well and we talked for hours, just like old friends that hasn’t met for quite sometimes... So yeah social Media is not a bad thing after all... Oh ya her Instagram handle is @foodtravelblog feel free to follow her adventure in food and travel...

World Cup

This morning Colombia vs England was the first World Cup match that I really watched properly.

May be it was a curse, I couldn’t understand why the only match that I stay and watch have to go all the way til penalty...

While I had not slept earlier, now I feel very “gong gong”, blank, feel shitty....

No more stayed over night to watch match, I told myself...

But let’s see... 😬

Churching

After all rounds of frustrations with everything inclusive myself, finally I went churching today.

These past few years, when singing in the church, I always been pausing every now and then, especially when the lyric was saying something that I don’t do in my daily life.

I managed to stop myself from singing for the sake of singing or the melody is nice, as it is said that it is praising God session, so if I don’t practice, why could I conveniently sing it?

Some more yesterday during the wedding dinner we were talking about what end of life that we wish for. And one of ya was saying that the least that he expected was struck by lightning...

So I was imagining myself, singing in church and suddenly struck by lightning because I don’t practice what I sing 😬

Anyway the church sermon today is about the Corinth Church practice where by it was so much affected by wisdom (I think it’s wisdom) and power.

It explains that many a times we in daily life is affected so much by cultural values, so much til it’s hard for us to break free from those cultural values and practices, which also happens in church

The exposition will go deeper as we go in depth into the breakdown more of the book of 1 Corinthians

The closing song was One Love, the one that played in my mind was “One Love by Bob Marley” of course not singing that Bob Marley song, even though that Bob Marley song also talk about “Praising God” but anyway yeah my mind is fully distorted....

Malfunction

Started with almost wardrobe malfunction when I was dressing up for the wedding dinner party. My outfit is very loose, I remember that I need to zip my outfit, and was wondering how could I just slipped into it, and it felt very loose...

After careful examination then I realised that I have grown about 2 sizes smaller. I was in dazed, because I don’t have anymore outfit for dinner, as I was so busy and I didn’t really have time to shop.

I didn’t know whether I had to feel happy or sad at that moment, I only think, it’s the end of it, luckily managed to find some decent one to be worn for the dinner *phew*

And after party, I saw the queue of the car going out from the carpark was so long, so I decided to stay back at the lobby and browsing my Instagram account, until it’s quiet, then I started to go to the carpark to find my car couldn’t be started.

The battery died, trying to call the battery replacement 24 hours they charged 220 SGD, then tried to call for Help to jumpstart my car, thinking of going to the 24 hours tyre shop at lavender there hoping to get cheaper price (yes i remind you again, now I am stingy!!!)

Managed to jumpstart the car but it’s midnight robbery (it’s past midnight though, not daylight robbery 🤪) when I asked the guy quoted 220 also but he said he needed to check the stock by the time he checked the stock he told me 280 🙄

Being stingy I said it’s ok, so I drove back home and hopefully tomorrow I can find cheaper price 😬

Not really tomorrow but yeah when the sub came out...

I miss the time where I used to do home entertaining, too many other things to do, so no time for doing so... I miss those time where my “partner in crime” supplying Indonesian Magazine every week and I would happily cook one of the dishes for them every week from the magazine... Those are the days...

Go Blog

After a few posts, I suddenly disappear, mainly because of my busy schedule, when I wanted to write, I was in the middle of something.

By the time I finished my thing, I forgotten what I wanted to write.

Anyway last week was Super crazy, more physical torture, whether I did it purposely by doing physical activities or photographing for money.

I thought by the time I reached Monday I would be free, but I was wrong again, until now I still feel overwhelmed by photo editing.

So many thing so little time, I even have to forgo holiday that I had planned to have this week, because suddenly something just popped up into my schedule...

I am in the need of holiday very badly...

I don’t even have time to go out and play ...

Meanwhile just let my Instagram posting travel here and everywhere around the region while my body still here and my mind occupied by photo editing 😢

Hello Kitty

I was driving from Clementi Rd joining PIE, and in front of me was a car with “Hello Kitty” sticker.

I was kind in a hurry so I am a bit like that lah har... then I notice that the hello kitty car, is really reflecting the behaviour of kitty

Ah well, it’s hello kitty, right? The fans should be as tame as kitty and soft hearted too, can’t expect them to be aggressive, can I?

When I was doing the editing photos of this event earlier in the day , suddenly I want to drink this very badly.

It was a mixture of peach syrup, “Bombay sapphire”, slice peach and topped with Haagen Dazs Peach Ice Cream.

The keyword is “Bombay Sapphire” that my weakest spot, it’s actually a gin with a crowded burst of flavour, it’s a great drink for a hot day.

Back to the Haagen Dazs drink, I really missed very badly, until I could smell the peach, and can imagine the colourful flavour in my mouth.

I’ve never known that my brain is very powerful until I was able to hallucinate that far...

Satisfaction

Just recovered photos from a “dead hard disk” from the second MacBook Pro that died on my hand last month. I have a “lethal touch”

I sent it to the shop, and it said it’s the hard disk, replaced the hard disk and I asked about any chance of data recovery, because it is not mine, it’s my friend’s MacBook Pro.

Yes I have to count my blessing to have all awesome friends around me, even though I always grumble about the pool of friends who disappoint me (this is the perk of having a blog, I will find unhidden gems that I have to appreciate in life as I typed down my thought).

Back on the topic, I was more worry about my friend’s data than mine, Little that I know I still have unfinished business there, and I trusted the shop so much, until when I got back the laptop, all my photos on the desktop is not back at all 🙄

My fault, I said that I didn’t need mine 😖

Yesterday I ran through recovery, spent whole day and night to run the software, of course I left it to run, while I did something else, to find out this morning that my software didn’t have license key (I change computer along the way, so I didn’t have the license key anymore), to my surprise the technical support was quite helpful, unlike the previous encounter, finally I managed to recover the data that I am looking for...

The satisfaction is so high, I’ve forgotten this feeling of achievement when I managed to conquer something in life

Ah well, my BFF (if you read this, you can grow your head big) was saying that I did better job than the shop...

Thanks for the compliment though... thanks for always reminding me about small little thing in life and teaching me a lot of thing that I can not see, whether about technical things or about life...

Another thing that I have to add to My grateful lists ❤️

First Post

Been thinking and discussing about blogging again after a very long pause, so here I am, trying my best to write anything that come into my mind
