More Random Food From Siglap

Here's more random food that we eat often around the Siglap area.

This is from Soy Eu Tua.

When I'm not eating it's famous mee pok or chicken rice, I'd eat this recently discovered laksa ($4.50) and carrot cake ($4), which is also ultra delicious. Only challenge as always, is getting a seat in that small coffeeshop.

The other one is the Teo Chew porridge which we tend to eat for dinners after work. This is at the 3838 coffeeshop where I usually eat the famous kway chap or yuan wei yong tau foo. I'm not a big fan of this porridge with different cooked food because the food is normally cold, meaning its been there for hours. Somehow the kids love it though.

Annual Full Body Check Up

This is funny.

This year's shit scoop, or stool container, as they prefer to call it, has grown a lot bigger.

Had some trouble with it, but luckily manage to get some samples.

COVID19 has done a lot of things this year to our lives and the way we live. 

The lockdowns, the WFH setups, the drive towards more exercise, all have contributed to a healthier lifestyle for me and my family.

I was happy to see that the metrics in all my tests were far better than last year's.

Just about everything has improved, some tremendously.

Notably my cholesterol levels have now gone down to high (instead of alarmingly high), my uric acid levels (which gave me gout) have also normalized.

Hopefully this healthy lifestyle continues.

Katong In The Rain

It was one of our weekend enrichment runs for the kids.

Very routine these days. Both Saturday and Sunday.

Saturday it is football lessons in the morning followed quickly by math lessons which end around 1pm. 

Sunday it is the grueling 2-5pm chinese lessons.

This was lunch near the enrichment center at Katong. One of my faves is still the wanton mee and laksa at Roxy Square. Then we sometimes would walk over to Birds Of Paradise, this new ice cream parlour that is all the rage now. 

We'd cross this old bridge.

And this was in the pouring rain.

I love Katong.

Saxo Logo Change

 So Saxo Markets have now changed their logo once more. 

What I really like about it is that this time around, it is more meaningful and more purposeful.

Also all employees were gifted a water bottle, chocolate and personalized letter about the new Saxo Foundation.

Teapot

 My dad loves collecting old Chinese teapots.

Here's a sample.

Apple Store At Marina Bay Sands

 Went to visit the new Apple store (the third in Singapore) at Marina Bay Sands.

It is probably the most beautiful Apple store in the world right now.

Unfortunately it was so popular that you needed to book a slot to go in to browse. 

And there were no more slots left on the day we went :(

You have to access it via an underground gallery tunnel.

So cool.

Miscellaneous Favourite Lunches

 These are food that I love to have for lunch at Siglap during WFH days.

Window Fix

 There's been a hole in one of our bathroom windows since the ventilator fan broke.

The wifey then went to DIY fix it.
