I Forgot My Phone

There's more to life than just your mobile phone. Everywhere we go, we see people facing downwards to their phones. We call them, 低头族, which literally means, bow head group. We look at our phones while walking on the street, crossing the road, standing on a crowded train, seated down at dinner, and so on. Anytime, anywhere. Here's a video that is circulating around in Facebook.

This is pretty sad. I always nag the hubby to put away his phone for the short while as we have our meals. At least, let's enjoy our meal together, in each other's company instead of whoever that is in the phone.

The first comment made me feel guilty. I'm also one of the 10% who saw the video on my mobile, seated on the sofa, in front of the TV. (But I'm blogging this post on my PC haha)

Put away your phone for a while, while you catch up with your loved ones. I have to change too. I am always busy posting on my social media platforms, like checking in on Foursquare and posting my meal's photo on Instagram. Let's all change together. Haha... Treasure our time with our loved ones.

A photo a day : Dinner

Homecook simple fare for dinner. It's more like side dishes though. 

East Coast Park

A lazy Sunday afternoon at East Coast Park, cycling. It was raining earlier on, and luckily, it was not when we were there. The trees along the pathway gave us shade from the sun and it was cooling to ride under these big umbrellas. I like the feeling.

Doesn't the benches look lonely?

Love the view of the trees. The trees made my journey cooling.

The sun is setting. The sea at peace.

Bicycle renting is not cheap, in long term. Maybe we should bring our own. 

People fishing at Bedok Jetty. The entire stretch are populated by them.

Weekend : KSL City Mall

A one day holiday trip to our neighbour with the hubby and fil. I suggested going to KSL City Mall as the place is pretty new and both of them had not been here before. Initially, the idea was to take a cab from the immigration. But we took a gamble and headed for the bus interchange. We were on board bus IM17 in 5 minutes. It costs RM1.50 per person. Cheaper than taking a cab. 

I wanted to rebond my hair as the mane is getting more and more difficult to manage. Haha I look a mess even after trying hard to tame it. It took me 4 hours in the salon. My tummy is growling from hunger. I should have planned my lunch before sitting here for this long. All this while, the hubby and fil shopped, massaged and lunched. This is the reason why I am scared to do anything about my hair. It takes way too long and I'm bored stiff sitting here.

I did my hair at RCS Hair Studio. Rebond for my hair length at RM 240 (includes cut and wash). The stylist cut away all my existing rebonded hair, so he only worked only virgin hair. My hair length came up to a little below my shoulders. Pretty short, at least 3 inches gone.

I also asked to do treatment for my dry, damaged hair. RM 150. Kérastase from Loreal. The stylist recommended the green with orange combination. Green bottle for the "cement" to close up the pores of the hair, as the heat from rebonding opened them up. Orange for the "moisture", to add moisture to the heated up hair.

Finally I'm done with my hair. For four long hours. The hubby and fil was already outside when I was done. I guess they were already bored with the place. I had my lunch at Causeway Bay Hong Kong Cafe.

The hubby's Macau Pork Bun. So nice of him to accompany me eat when he is already very full from his lunch and break. Haha..

I did not managed to walk in KSL City Mall, as both the men were bored of the place. Hence I suggested we head back to City Square, take a walk and we can head back home after that. My, City Square JB changed alot. Bought some snacks and we were on our way back. Many others were on their way back to Singapore too. Pretty long queue at the Malaysia Immigration, and an even longer queue at the Malaysia bus station. The queue reaches the stairs down from the Immigration.

I wonder when would be my next overseas trip. Haha..

PUB Family Day

Today is PUB Family Day and it was held at Sentosa. My sister invited us to join them in a day of fun and charity. She is in the committee for the Charity Run, and to show our support, my dad, mum, the hubby and I participated in the Charity Leisure Walk.

We reached around 7.30am and the day was kicked off with a warm up session. Next, the Charity relay race was on. My family and I were by the side, cheering them on, though we had no idea who was who. Neither do we know who won. Haha.. Some of the teams were more united as the team members ran alongside the current runner, cheering on loudly.

Finally it was our turn. The Charity Leisure Walk. We thought it was a jog, so my family jogged. Haha.. Not as many people signed up for this event compared to the relay run. A little disorganised, but it was still a successful event done by my sister and the committee. Great job.

We spent the rest of the day eating the icecream provided, went for a lucky spin (I wasn't too lucky >.< ), laughing and clapping along the stage games for the kids and adults. The mcee is a funny guy and he's good at getting the crowd to the right atmosphere.

One downside of the event, many were too anxious to get the lunch provided. The lunch is to be issued only at 10.45am. And there is already a long queue at 9.30am. The lunch is already pre allocated, so why not enjoy yourself at the games (there were archery games, the hamster ball thing, the gladiator games and more), and not stand under the hot hot sun for more than one hour? Got a guy even shouted and complained about queuing in the sun. Haha.. We were enjoying our ice cream in the shade when that happened. 

The family day included tickets to the SEA Aquarium at RWS, but I was too tired from being in the sun, and worried that it's the same for my dad, and the hubby was needed elsewhere in the afternoon, so I had suggested that we arranged another day to visit the Aquarium since the tickets were valid till the end of the year. And to go with my brother and sister too, making it a whole family event. I think I kind of disappointed my mum by suggesting it. Sorry Mummy T.T we will go there next month.

The lucky draw prizes. Mummy spun a Namecard Holder, while I spun a pack of Ang Bao packs.

Our souvenirs for participating in the Charity Run. Cute plushies.

R.I.P Peter Rabbit

GF's pet rabbit, Peter, passed away last night. His small little body was unable to handle the anesthetic given for the treatment for his teeth problems.

The photos I have were from 2010 when Peter rabbit was still young, who was recently bought home. I still remember how his name came about. Peter rabbit always like to hop to where my GF's butt was. So she called him "屁的" and somehow evolved to Peter.

R.I.P Peter Rabbit...
