Sakuraya

First time we had dinner at Sakuraya Jap restaurant. We visited the outlet at West Coast Plaza. The food was very good. Better than Sakae and Ichi-ban which we frequent nowadays.

Tracking my vPost package

I am getting a thrill from tracking my package on vPost. Let's see if the package arrives within 6 days. I am optimistic.

Slow vPost

vPost is really slow. Look at how efficient Amazon.com is. They delivered the goods to the destination and only a few hours ago did vPost processed it and hasn't sent me the request for payment yet. If I didn't sent them a chaser, it might even be slower.

VPost only acted after TWO DAYS, which is how long it took for Amazon to deliver the goods to them.

Selling Apartment

Not us, but I met my neighbor upstairs at the elevator last night while I was rushing to visit a friend's mom at NUH. He told me he has recently sold his apartment for about 740K and bought a maisonette at Sunset Way for about the same price. He explained why financially it made sense. That gave me pause and perhaps I also better make some calculations. We really have no need to be here any more. My in laws were gone long ago. Very soon none of the kids would need to go to the school near by.

Teacher's Day Presents

One of my kids told me she has made extra presents for Teacher's Day celebration tomorrow. This is not to give to teachers but sell to forgetful classmates who had missed preparing a gift for their teachers!

Dubai Mop

Finally I took a picture of the mop I used at our apartment in Dubai. I didn't plan to bring it back but the packers in a hurry had made the decision for us. I suppose mops all over the world look the same.

Unlike many, we didn't hire a maid in Dubai or use a part timer. We do the cleaning and ironing ourselves.

Back home in Singapore, our part time cleaner decided to retire a couple of months back, so we are DIY now too.

Continuous Chest Compression

Just watched this video and try to remember what to do. I hope I never need to do it but in life you never know.
