Chendol from Starview Rest. |
I never have no time for this lovely, refreshing thirst quencher - chendol! Compliments of a cousin at a recent family lunch at a wellknown restaurant.
I really must be getting old! This morning I went shopping at Lotus's and even though it is a working day, the car park was quite full. I managed to get a parking lot and after taking note of the row number, I went in to do my shopping. Two hours later, I came out with my packages and to my horror, couldn't find my car! I had remembered the row as J7 but my car was not there! The first thought that came to my mind was that it had been stolen and ripples of panic ran through my body. I decided to walk further up and guess what, there it was, my faithful old car in row J4! I had got the number wrong! I don't know what had me think of a 7 instead of a 4 but it was a relief of course and I happily jumped into it and drove home! Next time, I should take a photo of the row number as some people do, it will certainly save me a lot of stress!

I had lunch with a cousin today and we went to this cosy place inside a busy mall. Nice decor, lovely tea sets and crockery, lovely food. My cousin had Hawaiian Sandwich while I chose Lemon Grass and Mint Chicken (pictures below).

I had a disastrous morning today. I had made an appointment with my doctor at 9.30 a.m., so around 9.00 a.m. I called Grab and headed to the hospital. Just as I was about to get down from the car, I realised to my dismay that I had forgotten to bring my lab report which I was going to show the doctor! How that could have happened is beyond me as I had put everything ready in a bag the night before. What could I do but to call another Grab and rush home to get my report. The driver was very kind and understood my predicament and agreed to take me back with my report from my house to the hospital. Meantime, while on the way back to the hospital, I received a call from the doctor's nurse asking whether I was coming! It was exactly 9.30 a.m. when I arrived back at the hospital, rushed into the lift and made it for my appointment! My advice to everyone is to check and double check that you have everything you need before you leave your house. Haste makes waste - and I shall never forgive myself for being so careless!
"Travelling is the best medicine", they say and having just come back from a holiday overseas, I find that there is great truth in that saying. While on holiday, we meet different types of people, see many new places, have new experiences. A whole new world opens up and we feel exhilarated and charged with renewed energy!
A package tour takes care of just about everything from hotel to sightseeing but I think most people are a little anxious as to whom they will be travelling with for the next few days. When we all gather at the airport for the start of the journey, it is not surprising that we begin sizing up each other! We make judgements based on the appearance of our fellow travellers but as the tour moves along, our views are often proven wrong. Unfriendly looking fellows turn out to be happy and jovial people and most of the time we find that the whole bus load can get along with each other and even be helpful and caring!
A friend once commented, "It's not how you travel but whom you travel with". I think she couldn't be more right!
Happy landings!
