Mid Autumn Festival 2015

Happy Mid Autumn Festival 2015? Have you had your share of moon cakes yet? This year we bought the premium collection snow skin moon cakes from Prima Deli (support home grown brands!) which comes in 9 unique flavors like mint, tiramisu, Thai milk tea, peanut butter, mango and lemongrass etc, as pictured below. Tried a few n my fav is the mango n lemongrass one as it is really refreshing and it is not cloyingly sweet. The Thai milk tea one tasted kind of strange though, slightly milky n it is different from drinking the milk tea in real life. Yep, that's about it, no big fancy names for us this year as the family is not that keen on moon cakes due to its high sugar content. Decided to skip the lanterns n sparklers this year cuz of the haze, n I dun really see much kids playing them as well. It's kinda quiet. Alrighty, let's hope next year the haze period wouldn't coincide with this festival, taking away all our fun!

Happy 4th Anniversary!

Celebrated with Breadman our 4th anniversary today! All's well, no quarrels, a very happy day despite not going according to his plans. Went to watch Pixels at Lido at 1010am in the morning, and it is a really good show! All those vintage arcade n computer games like frog leaper, donkey kong and pac man were featured in the movie. Well, it does bring back good old memories for the old kid like me and suddenly I feel like playing them again! Pixelated images were such a hit back then. I m an 80s kid, so I believe people from my age group should have the same sentiments. This is something special that the 90s kids will not understand. I m so glad to watch that movie as I get to relive my childhood days again! 

Went to have our lunch at The Marmalade Pantry thereafter and the food's really good! Spent close to $100 as we ate cakes too, so v expensive. So only once in a while can indulge. 

After that his surprise for me was to go to Art Science Museum to catch the exhibitions, a pity that the queue was duper long n all tix online were sold out, thus I decided to give it a miss. Especially when e haze is so bad. So we spent the time shopping at MBS. Combed through the whole place n them we watched the sampan man rowing the sampan. Ended the day by having our dinner at The French Table, which serves fusion food. Prices r quite pocket friendly n mostly below $20, which is a stark contrast to a The Marmalade Pantry. That's about it! Spent the whole day out with Breadman, time flies just like that. 

Happy anniversary again! Looking forward to our staycation on 17th October! 

Combating the Haze

Yipee! We received 3 masks today to beat the very hazy situation! All of us were so excited to receive our masks (not that we actually wanted to use it), because we did not expect to have it. That's part of staff welfare benefits. I am a huge fan of 3M products btw, from its post its to its acne patch and now to masks. Haha. Let's hope the light rain that just took place would wash away the polluted air. Have a great Tuesday, everyone!

General Election 2015 Results

Woo Hoo! The results are certainly outstanding! Well, I guess this is clearly indicative of which political party I m supportive of. Yes, the ruling party and I have nothing to hide. No, it isnt the LKY effect or SG50 Jubilee year effect or whatever. The medishield life and efforts at honouring Pioneer Generation's efforts certainly win my vote.  Probably because I work at the social service sector and especially with the elderly, I have seen how the Pioneer Generation Disability assistance Scheme help the financially needy who suffers from medical conditions. When I help family members put up for the application for the scheme, many of them express much gratitute.

I m happy with the big win but at the same time, I am also glad that we still do have some opposing voices in the parliament, thus I guess it's really good news for me. Let us work together towards SG100, as one united people, irregardless our political inclination.    

General Elections 2015

Casted my vote just now at a secondary school, just like what I did 5 years ago... As usual, I was kind of confused while in the polling centre. Haha.. Where's the box to put my vote? Is it in front? For my case, we actually had to walk back and that's where the box is located. It isn't the case of walking straight ahead as I presumed. Luckily all went well and I avoided the crowd when I went in at 1230pm. Every single vote counts, so let's hope everyone can vote wisely. Singapore's future gonna be determined tonight! Shall stay up to watch the results live, though I have to head to work tomorrow. This is really a tough fight and I am excited yet worried about the outcome. Nonetheless, I love Singapore no matter what happens. Patriotic me.
