📷#MarketFriday Into Fairprice Supermarket | #进入平价超市😎 After a bit of walk in the town central on Friday night, my wife and I went into the supermarket. First things I usually see are the fruits. My wife decided t get some lychees. Hmm... the canned ones are cheaper but I guess they are more unhealthy and they need to clear the stock anyway. I haven't tried this fried sliced pork but decided to try to introduce this to my wife parents. The tuna in a bag is still something I…

Goodnight from a vaccinated me. I had my 2nd dose of the vaccination two weeks ago. Today I saw my trace together had changed to show that the vaccination is effective. Well, mine is supposed to be about 95% effective but we are all still required to wear mask when going out. Sigh 😕 #Singapore

Woke up and seems to be a rather nice day. It would have been a better day had it not been the 1st Father's day that we are having since my father passed away in March. It still felt like yesterday. I dreamt of him a few weeks ago and he told me don't cry. I'm sure he wants us to be happy. So, Happy Father's Day.

Went out to get some early dinner at Lorong 8 Toa Payoh. Saw one shop loaded with durians but that cannot be my dinner. For some people, it is. Went over to the food centre. It was quiet even though we are allowed to dine in. Maybe because it's Father's day and people have plans. In addition to buying rice, the lady decided to get some satay.😎 #Shopping

Thanks, Starbucks. I don't often drink because I think it's expensive. Occasionally, I'd still indulge a bit. When you gave me enough points for a free drink when I made my first order through the mobile app, how can I pass on the offer? 😎 Cheers to a good week ahead. #Foods

Elsewhere, the 7-eleven store had people looking at whatelse but ice cream. Back at home with the fish porridge. Ended up sweating eating the…

Weird dream. Not this picture. It was taken at Marina Bay but I had a weird dream when I slept. I dreamed that I was panic studying for my final year exam in the university several years ago. I know many people including myself have dreamt of to the exam hall late more than a couple of times even after leaving the university after many years but this is the first time I dreamed of studying. Have of dreamt of things like that?😎

Back to dining in day 1. The news said midnight already have seen people starting to dine in. I had to wait till dinner to go check things out. Winner of the most crowded place is the food court. 😎 #Singapore
@ace108
First meal on the day we are allowed to dine in the eateries. My choice is the dried noodle and my wife had the noodle with soup. Somehow, it doesn't taste as good as before. Maybe because the mince meat were less. After that, we left the coffeeshop and go to another food court nearby for dessert. This food court was not as crowded as the one in the basement. #Foods

Going into the lions den. 😎 Took a day leave from work and I'm going to this bus stop to take a bus to to Bukit Merah area.

At least, I'm vaccinated so it should be less than 10% chance I'll get infected. #Photography
