📷Year of the Tiger decoration at night in Chinatown - 3 | 晚上在牛车晚上的虎年装饰 - 3😎 One last photos of the tiger family before I go and take a bus home. The main street had decorations above the road. As I walked towards the bus stop, I saw the jumping tigers from the other side. So I zoomed in on them again. Then I had to make sure I don't miss the bus. #originalcontent #singapore #chinatown #photography #myphotograph #ace108 #cn 在我坐公共汽车回家之前，最后一张老虎一家的照片。 主要街道的路上也挂了装饰。…

📷No way for chicken rice for lunch | 午餐不能吃鸡饭😎 Yesterday, the rain stopped by the time I went for a late lunch. As I went into the nearby food centre, I heard a rooster crowed. I thought I iwas crazy but I spotted the little guy and I were to take a photo. I wasn’t the only one. I zoomed in a little to take more photos. It crowed again. I wished I had started record a video. Then it turned into a headless chicken and decided to sleep there. Had to get lunch but no chicken…

I thought 50 Cents a bottle of spaghetti sauce was cheap when I saw it at Valu$ store recently. They expires in April. Yesterday, I saw they are even cheaper. 3 bottles for a dollar. Now it you are going to havea spaghetti party by April, they are a good buy.😎

📷Support the bamboo plant | 垫上竹子😎 I was looking for a small table or shelf to put my bamboo plant which is a feng shui cure. I needed it to be placed at a certain sector at home and I think it is still a bit off when I put close to the edge of the TV console. After looking around Lazada on 18-Feb, I decided to order this 3 tier kitchen organizer for $7.80 Yesterday on 24-Feb, it was sent by NinjaVan which is one of the delivery company I had because they would just leave it…

📷To buy another one after pick up | 领取后买多一个😎 When I was shopping on Lazada for something recently, I came across a bidet spray at irresistible price. My wife had told me the one in the toilet has a bit of problem with the switch. So I bought this at less than $4 including delivery to the pick locker. It was delivered on Friday. After a quick dinner nearby, I went to pick it by entering the PIN I received via SMS. Here is video I recorded as I go to pick it up. Brought the…

📷Finishing up another round of hotpot | 有吃一次火锅😎 Last Saturday, we decided to have another round of hotpot meal at the inlaws place to finish up the soup paste and some other food we bought the last time. First off, my wife was frying the luncheon meat first. The same pot was used for the soup to cook with some mushroom. Then we cooked the rest of the food. My wife thought it was still not as good as eating at Haidilao even though the soup paste was from them. After a bit too…

📷A classic station wagon | 经典的旅行车😎 I was walking in Chinatown last month when I came across this car parked outside a shop. We don't see this on the road anymore because most of our cars here have a lifespan of 10 years on the road. I went closer to look at a write up inside which told this is a 1973 Datsun 1600SSS Stationwagon. This is the same generation of Datsun 120Y I drove before. #originalcontent #singapore #cars #photography #myphotograph #ace108 #cn…

More people want to tested for COVID-19 on Sunday night? 😎 This was taken last Sunday as I took a walk at the town central. The queue outside the clinic was longer than another Sunday. I suspected people want to be tested on Sunday night so they don't need to work from Monday. One guy just decided to sit in the middle of the path. Looking at the counts, it seems the number reported on Monday for February were always a spike except the weekend of the Chinese New Year. Now,…

📷Miniature display repaired | 微型展览器已修复😎 A few Sundays ago after having dinner at SAFRA Toa Payoh, I came out of the restaurant and stopped to look at the miniature display again. It was sort of repaired. Not so many fallen figures. In fact, I had to look hard to find one. The Malay wedding in the village was all good. Then is the old shophouses and I spotted one figure fallen. See if you can find it. Lastly, something the men in Singapore can relate to. The days we served in…

It's month end busy again 😎 Yes, it's first day of the month but this is why many people who still need to work have to do activities related to month end closing or reporting. Yours truly included. I'm not sure I'll catch much of the sun but I snapped a few photos at the first leg of the bus ride. There is possibility of thunderstorm after 2pm and I hope not to have to work too late but some things need to be done while all of us are not indispensable. So, just enjoy the…
