After we ordered our food and drinks, one guy came and asked if we to order the chicken char siu puff. He said it was the last few. Later in night, I found it was probably not the truth. My wife use to frequent the place in the past. She said they would try to sell her telling they are the last few or they…
📷Noodle next to Doraemon | 面旁边的叮当😎 Met my wife for dinner at a coffeeshop and ordered wanton noodles on Thurday .Spotted something at the next stall which was closed. Doraemon x 4.

After walking around looking for a place for dinner, my wife and I decided to go this this place called Old School Delights. There wasn't a lot of choice on the menu and we were given a white board to write our orders. I wasn't that hungry and didn't use my normal doctor's handwriting but put in some artistic effort to write my orders. Behind me, there was a shelf with some books,…

Hmmm, isn't it too early to sleep. I didn't even have dinner yet. Who cares? The sleep continued. 上星期天,离开岳父母家后,我和太太回到离家较近的地方找晚餐。在附近的诊所,我看到猫不在箱子里。 嗯,是不是太早睡觉。我还未吃晚饭呢。 谁管得着。继续睡。 #originalcontent #myphotograph #CatPhotos
What's your souvenir from Chinatown, Singapore? | 你在新加坡牛车水买啥纪念品?😎 I went Chinatown to buy some stuff to be more ready for my coming vaccination. As I went back to office, I passed by a shop that used to sell souvenirs and still have some souvenirs about 2 weeks ago when I saw it. Now, I can only see masks. 我去了牛车水买些东西,为接下来的疫苗接种做准备。 当我走回办公室时,我经过一家曾经出售纪念品的商店,大约2周前,当我看到它时,仍然有一些纪念品。 现在,我只能看到口罩。 #myphotograph #originalcontent #Shopping

Closed some more? The supermarket near home had a notice that it'd be closed for 2 days. This came after a recent outbreak involving a cluster at a hospital where nurses, doctor and patient were tested positive for Covid-19 and it was reported that the nurses and doctors were vaccinated. What’s more worrying is even without the vaccination, they are already the bunch of people who are more careful with hygiene than the rest of us. Day 3 and the supermarket that is normally…
The day looks nice and fine as I go out take the bus but the news from recent Covid-19 cases not so. Stay safe and try to enjoy your day. #Photography
Almost reaching the office this morning 🌄 when the bus passed by this church. Seems to be starting to do some work soon. Seems construction has been affected by supply of labour overall. I hope it doesn't take them longer than expected.
📷#BeautifulSunday Periwinkle for a good week ahead | 美丽星期天-长春花给你好一周😎 I was at my inlaws' place on Sunday. My father-in-law's white periwinkles were blooming very nicely. He has a few bunches of the white ones and some are just budding. The other pot of periwinkle is more of the common colour and there was just a pair of flowers. Don't know why there is lesser flowers on the plant. Only a couple. Maybe because the pot is placed inner and it gets lesser sunlight.…
Hope you guys are all doing OK. I just got this on my Telegram app from Channel News Asia. Many of of us know we have an outbreak at a hospital in Singapore that involved vaccinated nurses and doctors. We now have several patients also affected including one who died. There are also visitors who have been infected. So, the hospital is closed to visitors and advise non-urgent illness people to go to other hospital instead.

Saw this group of people doing some kind of exercise when I was going home in the bus. Just announced we are putting in stricter control from 8 May to 30 May. Not more than 50% can go to the workplace. Indoor gym will also be closed and group exercise maximum 30 participants. There goes the Mother's Day celebration at the resto. Hope you didn't have a wedding planned between 8 May to 30 May. #Singapore

Cup ramen to the rescue | 救命杯拉面😎 Not as good as the real Mc Coy but I heard thunder as I tried to go out for lunch on a work from home day. 不如真的日本拉面但是当我在家办公想走出去吃午餐时,我听到了雷声。
Outside the supermarket, they displayed this beverage dispenser for sale. Nice but it is 20 bucks. I'd rather spend the 20 bucks on beverage. 😎 超市外面,摆了这种饮料容器来卖不错,但卖20块钱。我宁愿20块钱买饮料。 😎 #Shopping
Tuesday night, I went to the coffeeshop with this 24 hour yong tau foo stall. I hold the fort while the lady when to get her food. Then my turn to go pick my food. I only had a slice of bread for lunch. So, I pick more items and it cost me $5.60 but I still happy with the meal and also happy I met my classmate from the Singapore Polytechnic AI course. 星期二晚上,走到这咖啡店有个24小时酿豆腐摊位。 我霸着位,太太去买她的食物。 然后轮到我去选择我的食物。 午餐只有一块面包。所以,我选择更多而花了我$5.60,但还是很满意,也高兴偶然遇到,我读新加坡理工学院人工智能课程时的同班同学。 #Foods
Looks like will get more rain today. I left home with the bag that has my wallet and charging cable.

Lots of people queueing for one yong tau foo stall but because of the rain, it seemed there were more seats available. I went to another yong tau foo stall. The Koo Kee one where I don't get to choose my items. Wonder what she would scoop for me. A picture of my $6.20 meal was sent to my wife again to make her jealous. After eating, there were still lots…
Manage to charge a phone a bit in the office but still had less than 30% when I left. I need make sure there is enough battery for me to tap in and out of the bus to pay for the ride. Still I manage to click and take a nice riverside photo. 😎 #Photography
A new cafe will be opening inYue Hwa. There was a Wang Cafe that was there before and closed after not a long time. Wonder what makes someone think the Nanyang Coffee will do better. It must be difficult for business to adjust to sudden changing rules amidst the pandemic times. Last week, we allowed social gathering up to 8 people. Now, we can only have up to 5. #Photography
Subway 101. I like Subway sandwiches more than a McD burger but the lady don't fancy them as much. Many times when I suggested going Subway for a meal, she'd shake head. Yesterday night, she agreed. I loaded mine with all the veggie and her with tomatoes 🍅and cucumber 🥒 #Foods

Not finishing the knit. On the bus to work and I saw someone left knitting threads (do you call them that) on the front row seat of the upper deck. I guess someone won't be finishing her (I assume) knitting goal soon. #Travel
The other Riverside. 😎 Yesterday, I took a photo on the bus as I was going home facing the other direction. This morning as I go to work in the other direction, I managed to get a photo of Clarke Quay which I am quite happy with.

That was when we still allowed up to 8 in a group to dine together. Tomorrow, it's back to group of 5 maximum. Ordered my food. They had a menu which told me it's a halal place. There isn't a lot of choice on the menu. I ordered online and paid after scanning a QR code to go to their menu. A few years ago I keep telling my wife this is…

Ice cream penyet or smashed ice cream? Bought this Japanese brand ice cream some time ago. This was the last one I had recently. Why it was smashed?

Will buy again if on offer. 😎 #originalcontent #myphotograph #Foods
📷Head turner cat | 转头猫😼😽😾😎 Went to look for one of my two favorite cats recently after dinner. Found it a bit of hiding in the shadows. I tried to snap a few quick photos when I went near.

The other lion sees.... You have seen one of them with the pineapple tarts. At the inlaws place, my wife place her glasses next to the other lion. I decided to have some fun with it.😎

Yesterday, the rain stopped and my wife and I headed out to Paragon Shopping Centre. After get off the bus, there was still a short walk. First outside what used to be Robinsons Department Store which close down rather abruptly. Not overnight but within less than a week after they announced if I remember correctly. Retail is a tough business nowadays. #originalcontent #myphotograph #Shopping
Passing by the Apple Store yesterday and saw it less people queueing but there were some people inside. Don't know if it's because of safety management measure or their customers all flocked to the newer store at Marina Bay Sands. I don't know. I'm not an Apple fan. 😎 昨天经过苹果商店。有较少人排队,但里面有一些人。不知道这是否是因为安全管理措施或他们的客户都跑去在滨海湾金沙比较新的苹果店。不知道啦。我非苹果的粉丝。😎 #originalcontent #myphotography #Shopping

At one section where they have a few cafes and restaurant, I decided to take a few vertical orientation photos. Going down the escalator, I saw a Japanese Ramen from London which I have yet to try but I going over to try to take another vertical orientation photo. The last…
The Squirrel and the mango.😎 Saw this Squirrel before I went up to the inlaws place. It was going for a mango some irresponsible person discarded which was hanging on the fork of the tree branches and started gnawing soon. Then a strong wind blew and the mango landed on the floor. It came down hesitantly weary of my presence but soon reached and got a few more bites before grabbing the whole piece and climbing up the tree to disappear. #Animal
Happy Bear. Not so Happy Mother's Day😎 I saw this bear by MCM at Paragon. I wanted to sit in front of it to take a photo. The lady wasn't quite keen. Often you cuddle a bear. How often do you get a chance to be cuddle by a bear. Anyway, many stores in the mall probably not so happy with the disruption to their Mother's Day weekend business. Earlier last week government announced number of people allowed in social gathering to be reduced from 8 to 5. Other than having to deal…
LFC. Who's a fan? Not me. Last time I was at Bugis Junction, their store hadn't open. Now that it's opened, it's more quiet than I expected. I wonder if it will still be here next year. #Photography
Happy Mother's Day Take a leaf from the old style calendar at the inlaws' place. This is also the last weekend of the Ramadan period which means... yay, we have a holiday in Singapore on Thursday making this week short work week. 😎 #Photography
The carts😎 I was at Bugis Junction shopping on Sunday when I saw the empty carts. There was a empty one but many were occupied by small business entrepreneurs selling different items mostly not large items. It looked like not many interest in their products but my wife bought a simple phone cover. Some kid thought they were good for hide and seek. #Photography
ABC and then V😎 Lunch after packing up from the office at one of the usual place. First time I saw a soup stall there and I decided to try their ABC soup. Why is it called ABC soup? There are 2 theory I heard. One is because its easy to make, easy as ABC. Two is because it contains vitamins ABC. I grab a slice of papaya after eating. Now is time to go to the polyclinic and get poke by a needle. #Foods

After crossing, I walked lass the temple before going into the polyclinic. They did the vaccinations under the tentage they put up at the car park area. The place was hot despite them having fans.

Ouch now. We're not allow to take photo at the polyclinic where I had my vaccination but I took a seat at the back where I'm supposed to rest for half an hour before they called my number . I managed to sneak a selfie there. I did not feel anything.. No ouch until I woke up this morning. #Singapore
Price dropped. I passed by the nearby supermarket recently and saw the nice beverage dispenser again. Only one difference. Price has dropped from 20 bucks to 10 bucks. Pity the people who had paid twice the price. #Shopping
Tangs Marriot 😎 The tall hotel building is usually not my target when I'm on the bus. Yesterday, I was going to office and decided to try to get a few shots as the bus turn from Scotts Road to Orchard Road. On the first floor is a department store #Photography
Curry fish with rice😎 This one is not really fish. It is from one of my favorite vegetarian restaurant and priced at $4.50 is a reasonable meal. I've been avoiding spicy food before my first vaccination because I don't want to have a sore throat before that or they may not like me take the jab. #Foods
Day 3 since the vaccination: body ache. On the day of the vaccination, I didn't feel anything. On day 2, I woke up with an aching arm. On day 3, I woke up with a body ache but I'm not sure if it's related to the vaccine but I'm glad I have Yoko at home.😎 #Photography

Seems many people decided to take the day off too looking at the number of cars here. There are still lots of construction going around and a hotel will be build here. Now, with the travel restriction crap and shortage of labour, I'm quite sure it will be delayed. Outside the entrance is a nice display.…
Make sure you have two chances to spend your money.😎 At the zoo yesterday, their store is just next to the entrance. This is the same way to exit. Similar to what they do in many theme park. They want to have the first chance and last chance to take your money. #Photography

My lady asked why I am taking pictures of scenery in the zoo. 😎 Out looking for the next spot after the Treetop trail. It's good the zoo has lots of interesting looking signs…

As the bus went towards Orchard Road, I took this photo with ION Orchard in the middle. I don't remember having shoot this angle before. After getting out of the bus, I didn't pay attention before but…

Woken by the thunder this Saturday morning. From tomorrow onwards, no dining out is allowed for a month. After Sunday, wedding receptions also not allowed.

Our Covid-19 cases have increased so we need to do something. Stay safe.

📷Going home on Friday | 星期五,回家😎 The last ride from office to home on Friday night for a while. I saw the bus in front. Where you go? I guess we aren't going to be going much of anywhere. With no dine out allow, my colleague told me she cancelled her staycation during the school holidays. So hotel like this will lose some business for sure. Passing by the Novena Church, I can't help but think not much prayers will be done onsite. #originalcontent #myphotograph…

One moron parked his vehicle behind that and wanted to go in and get it vaccination. I saw that and did something to ensure he could not hog the loading and unloading car park lot for more than 30 minutes. After the ladies came out, I drove to nearby coffee shop to buy 3 packets…

As we reintroduced disallowing eating out on sunday, you are not allowed to drink at Starbucks too. The local coffee shop also had blocked off their seats. The row of eateries here had remove all their tables and chairs too. I'll be coming here again sometime. The dessert shop had only one person but I'm sure this will change in later weeks. Back at the in-laws home, I ate my fishball noodle before bringing the ladies to vaccination later. #Photography

Cup noodle of the week. I try not to ear cup noodle too much but sometimes working from home means this is the choice once a while but I try to not have it more than once a week. This one is black pepper flavour and the noodle is multigrain and baked. So it should be less unhealthy. 😎 #Foods
Bao Today has no bao today... and many more days. So, we cannot dine out and eateries can only offer food only for takeout until 13th of June at least.

After buying dinner, out of the food court, the bus interchange had people but was less crowded. More crowded were two queues. One for bubble tea and one for sushi. I still have yet to try the sushi. Halfway home, saw the Thai restaurant were opened but I think many not in the mood to spend more for takeout meals on a weekday. 买了晚餐,出了食阁,公车转换站有人,但不比平常人潮。 更拥挤了两个队列。一个排队买泡泡茶,一个排队买寿司。我仍然还没尝试过这寿司。 回家途中,看到泰国餐厅有开,但我想很多人没心情在平日花费更多买外卖。 #Photography
It's chaos. We know but I managed to get some trades since last week that increased my based BTC holding. So it's not all bad. 😎 #Trade

Reasonably cheap for sushi. No wonder there is usually, a queue there. #originalcontent #myphotograph 回到家里,我将寿司摆在桌上。 开了芥末和酱油。 然后就吃寿司咯。 每包花费$4.50而味道也算不错。相当便宜的寿司。难怪通常都有人排队买。 #Foods

The last sunset home. 😎 It was the Friday before we had to start one month of work from home by default. I was in my usual bus ride going home. On Friday, we are usually off earlier by half an hour. I took a few photos of the sunset I caught at the first row on the upper deck. I'm going to miss the bus ride and the sunset. I have 5 months left in this job and I wonder how many more times I will be in the office. #originalcontent #myphotograph

📷My backpack but not packed | 我的背包没得背😎 A few Saturday ago, I woke up early and started checking out notification on my phone. Hmm, a sale on a backpack. Looked like a reasonable price and I thought I going to be going to workplace more often. I took a closer look. After a bit of hesitation... I bought it. Then Friday came and I got a notification to collect it from the 7-eleven store near home. I ripped of the packing bag... and took it out of another bag. Looked not as big…
Out shopping 🛍 at the supermarket . Need to get some grocery items away from the crowd. Although we allow to have social gathering of maximum two people, I'm sure some people will go family outting will kids and all.

It does seem less crowded but there were still at least two families with their kids running about. I don't know what's…

Walking around before reaching the supermarket at Kallang Wave yesterday. Some restaurants were giving 30% off and some were closed and many had tables and chairs removed as consumption in the restaurants is not allowed. Where are you getting your food today or are you cooking? 🤔 #Shopping
Less bucks for Starbucks. Sure looks like less business for them as you can only take out. Who would pay the same price sans the seat and the wifi?😎 #Photography
Yesterday, while shopping in Kallang Wave mall, I saw a lone person climbing but there were actually a couple more behind. So lonely. GymKraft was closed so you cannot deposit your children there while you do other things. So Dark. Outside the game arcade, the train await for nobody.

It was a day before we announced more tightening of several things last Friday. I went to Kallang Wave mall for dinner on Hari Raya Puasa holiday. After dinner, I walked towards the supermarket. The Pasta Mania restaurant wasn't there before when I was there the last time. The train had stopped outside the supermarket. I wasn't looking to buy anything but I enjoyed going into the supermarket here which is more spacious. #originalcontent #myphotograph…
At the supermarket at Kallang Wave on Hari Raya Puasa day, I was not in a need to buy things so I just look around for something interesting. This portable chair looks nice. Selling for $69.

OMG, 2nd block of flats in Singapore have to test for Covid-19. I wonder what's the criteria that trigger this kind of test. Is it number of cases already detected living there or percentage?

Many years ago, one of the first thing I do before going to work was to turn on the TV to the news channel. Yet many year before that, there was nothing on TV in the morning. How times have changed? I think one of the first thing we do in the morning is pick up our phones. Then, what we do on the phone after that has also changed over time. What is the first thing you look at in your phone today? #Singapore
Looking out of the window this morning, I was wondering... where you guys going? Especially, those with the bags. Don't you know you supposed to work from home if possible.

Go away. You two jokers. You are supposed to be wearing a mask when going out. If you don't wear a mask, don't stand next to me. I don't want to breathe in what you breathe out. What? You dare to walk about without a mask, I dare to post this photo. #Photography
Earlier part of tonight, I was outside Esplanade - Theatres by the Bay trying to see if I can see the moon there.
