Club 30's "Kill the Boredom Demon" Jive Pad107th Edition
-
Last night, I spoke to mom. She complained, "The pork chops at our favourite stall has increased in price! So expensive now! $5.00!"
I laughed in her face!
Pork chops... let's see, in my staff canteen, it would be AUD 8.00 with two sides; in restaurants, expect to pay about AUD 14.00 at least!
I think the most important education I received here is to redefine the meaning of 'expensive' and 'far' and 'bad public transport'. -

I thought you asked cause you knew someone who suffered from it too. I was crying out to my colleagues that I'm doomed to a life of being single now that I've got Sleep Apnoea and one of them cheekily suggested dating someone who also suffered from Sleep Apnoea. So I said, "Yeah... so I can say to him, "Your CPAP machine or mine?"" Harharhar!!
I showed Honeymousey and SL a photo I took of myself with the machine strapped on and I think they were quite shocked because it looked extremely uncomfortable.

Yeah... I'm just greedy mah!
4-room is actually too big for a single. But then that means one room can be my bedroom, another my study cum hobby room, and the third a library. I'm toying with the idea of getting an apartment with my CPF so I can rent it out and then maybe when it's time to retire, I can choose to either return to SG or spend half a year here, half a year there.
Thinking only... got to continue working hard and saving even harder! It's not easy going it alone on a single income.

Oh say, tell you guys something really amusing! One of the Aussie guys I dated here shocked the hell outta me when I discovered that he doesn't even know how to sms!! I tried to teach him but it was too much for him!
Poor bloke looked so overwhelmed! I accidentally blurted out, "Awww... come on! How tough can it be? Even my mom and dad sms!" Needless to say, no deal!
But we're good friends now and we talk on the phone pretty often. Isn't it hard to imagine? Someone who doesn't know how to sms in this day and age? He's only 42 too! -

I clean my tank once in two weeks. I'm starting to see pH 7.0 more often nowadays! I guess my tank has 'stabilised! Very happy!
I think when I clean my tank mid-week, I should vacuum the gravel too. I haven't done so since I first got my tank.

Yeah! Even the postal service here is not as good. Seriously, the healthcare system back in SG is better. We take care of our elderly much better.
However, when it comes to psychiatric care, Australia fares much better. Also, when it comes to welfare for nurses, it's definitely better here. In fact, I know of Singapore nurses who return to SG and they can no longer work in the hospitals there - they all end up working in clinics instead.

I already had lunch... 2 slices of bread with Jam on it. Not feeling too hungry that's probably I had a big dinner last night. We (hubby & I) went out for dinner with his brother and I had ribs and chicken wings. After dinner, we went home and had my leftover vanilla bean panna cotta for dessert.
You? What's on the lunch menu today?

Hmm... maybe, next Summer, I'll purchase an Ice Cream machine and use Creamed Corn to make Ice Cream! I miss Corn Ice Cream. The ones in the Asian shops here, like patong, aren't really nice.

Everything!!
Actually, I shouldn't eat out cause Saturday, I went to Boxhill to eat Prawn Hor Fun. It was really worth it! 13 crunchy and fresh Medium prawns with a heap of bok choy on my hor fun!
And then yesterday late morning, a friend brought me out to Camberwell to eat fresh skin popiah!! It's pretty authentic Nyonya style! Soooo happy!! I want to go there again! Their popiah is so popular you have to call and reserve first and it's only available on weekends!

well... it's ok to spoil yourself once in a while especially it's Chinese New Year.... just don't overdo it...
There are lots of shops in Camberwell.... may be when we come back from overseas we can go there.

Nope. It's a special gravel vacuum meant for cleaning the gravel. The gravel gets swirled up into this translucent tube but only the dirt and scum gets sucked out into your bucket. The gravel remains swirling in the tube and it will settle again.
Neat, right? Things have improved so much since I last kept an aquarium!

Yeah becareful though coz if you have not cleared the gravel for a long time, a sudden vigourious stir might cause a sudden ammonia and nitrate spike in your tank and yr fish might not be able to take itI have to do a water change once a week because my tank bioload is extremely high
