Changi Village Nasi Lemak 2020

This is legendary.

One of the best nasi lemaks in Singapore.

Tucked away nicely in Changi Village food centre, are a few nasi lemak stalls which sell REALLY good nasi lemak,

I got to bring my girl there two weekends ago.

So happy that she enjoyed it.

After we also had goreng pisang!





More MIL Masterchef Delicacies

 My MIL is probably one of the best cooks I will ever know.

And this chef knows what I love to eat!





New Sofa Set

Since moving into this home, we've not maximized the space in our living room because of the en-bloc that happening over last year.

It had been such a waste that our huge living room only had such a small sofa.

Two weekends ago we decided we should finally take the plunge and buy a good sofa to maximize this space.

Due to its size, we cannot just buy one off a furniture store.

We needed to get it custom-made.

And here it is being drawn up, with delivery somewhere in December or January!

So looking forward.

Autumnal Equinox 2020

This was super special, probably happening very rarely in our lifetimes.

The Autumnal Equinox is when twice a year, the Sun is exactly above the Equator and the day and night are of equal length.

This occurred on Tuesday, 22nd September 2020.

What made it even more special was the Sun Halo, which occurred around noon time and we could see it in Singapore.

Here's some pictures I took from our balcony and some sent by friends.

So beautiful!!!






Manchester United 1 Tottenham Hotspurs 6

This occurred last week but it is only now that I am blogging about it.

What a disgraceful result. 

Harry Maguire should be stripped of his captaincy.

We've got a lot of new signings right after this shit result, Edinson Cavani is among them.

I hope he succeed here starting with the next game against Newcastle.

This is turning out to be a really rough season and it is only three games in!!!

GGMU!!!

Brighton 2 Manchester United 3

This is our second match of the new 20/21 season.

We are leading Brighton 2-1.

95th minute, Brighton equalizes. 

2-2.

I'm not watching the match and can only follow on the EPL app live score app. I keep updating to see if it is full time yet. 

97th minute, the app shows FT.

Suddenly at the very next update, it shows 98th minute?!

WTH is going on?!

Turns out VAR awarded a handball penalty to us!

Bruno Fernandez scores.

We win 3-2.

Scenes.

First time I've seen penalty awarded after FT whistle is blown.

Who cares?! A win is a win and this is our first EPL win of the season, even if reports tell us that we played like crap!

GGMU!!!

Hokkien Mee At Bedok Food Corner

This is the one at the small hawker centre near the Bedok Army Camp, nearer to Tanah Merah.

This stall has been around for a very long time, owned by an old couple Mr and Mrs Wee.

I think they recently retired and passed the recipe on to a bunch of younger chefs.

I commend their efforts to preserve the original recipe.

Although there was a long queue when we were there, the kids and I were a little disappointed with the outcome. It wasn't as wet and didn't taste as nice as it used to be, the way Mr Wee did it.

Sad.




Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve

This is the first time I've been there.

I must say it is quite impressive and very interesting to get back to nature.

The kids quite enjoyed themselves. 

We saw quite a few Monitor lizards, lotsa birds, squirrels, and even a wild crocodile!














My Favourite Mutton Soup

This is my all-time favourite mutton soup stall.

It is at Bedok Central Food Centre.

It prides itself as having been around for more than 50 years, while I've patronized them since I was in secondary school. That's almost 30 years now.

Still as delicious after all these years.

Also there are less and less mutton soup stalls around these days, sadly.

Singaporean Humour

 Found these in one of the stores called Naiise in Jewel, Changi Airport.

It is good to be able to laugh when you're Retail during this pandemic.
