Wonderful news - No eye problem, Wenger's birthday & the Applause

My papi is on half-day afternoon leave today. Earlier today, he went to The Eye Centre, TTSH for his annual eye check-up.

His eyes were deemed okay, no problem and was given a discharge by Assoc Prof Heng.I guess to celebrate... papi went to the nearby Wee Nam Kee for chicken rice lunch.Oh, Monsieur Wenger turns 61 today. More good years... of course, trophies aplenty too.On Wednesday morning, Arsenal whipped Shakhtar Donetsk 5-1 easily in a Champions League Group match. Most of all, my papi witness the most extraordinary thing in football. There can be no doubt that he will ever again witness a goal celebrated by everyone in the stadium except the goal scorer himself. It was so surreal. Eduardo Da Silva kept to his pre-match promise - of not celebrating should he score. It was the perfect evening, a superb performance by the Gunners, coupled with an appearance by one of his ex-Arsenal heroes.My papi should be so proud to be a Gooner.

The Mooncake Fair at Ngee Ann City

Today is Teachers' Day and no skool for me. Papi also took leave.

We went to Whampoa Market for an early duck rice lunch. We were so early, reckon we were their first customers for the day.

After lunch, mummy went to TTSH for her check-up and papi & myself went to abuela's house for awhile. Or rather, to deliver mee siam lunch to her.

We stayed there for awhile. Not long after, we headed to Square 2 to look for mummy.

Today's outing will be to Prologue at Ion Orchard to buy assessment books for my September holidays and also to try and buy mooncakes at Takashimaya.

Well, after much browsing around at Prologue, my parents bought 6 books for me.
Next, we headed to the Mooncake Fair at Ngee Ann City. It was crowded and this year's highlight was probably the 猫山王 durian filling. I tried many mooncakes and I think durian tastes best. At least, the mooncake tasting was FREE. No miscommunication.
Finally, my parents settled for a lychee and durian mooncake each. Mummy said cannot buy too much. Woohoo...

Went home after that...

Here are photos of the mooncakes we purchased...
Also, this cute Cinnamoroll toy from McDonald's.
Finally, my assessment books that I need to do (For this coming 1-week holidays).

My abuela's eyes are okay

My dear abuela went to the Eye Clinic at TTSH this afternoon for her eye check-up.

She told papi that the place was very crowded. The doc checked her eye and commented that she may not need to go for her cataract operation as her eyes are quite okay.

I think she must be happy.

A day well spent

Papi is on leave today. He walked me to skool today. Afterwards, he went to Whampoa market for his breakfast. Judging from the pictures, I guess he ate alot...Tiong Bahru Chwee KweyWhampoa hand made noodles
Papi then went to TTSH and collected mummy's medication. He told mummy that all the chores were done by 9am. Walao.
Papi came to skool and fetch me afterwards. We went to mummy's office after that. Had our lunch at Whampoa market and then headed to Vivocity.We had fries at McDonald's over at HarbourFront later in the afternoon.We went to Novena Square and United Square later that day. Completed our day with a fishhead steamboat dinner at Whampoa. It was nice to eat steamboat during rainy evenings. We were so tired, got home and slept.

Blown away

Blown away... this is what exactly Lionel Messi did to Arsenal in the return leg of the Champions League quarter-final at the Nou Camp.

Well, before that happens. Abuela was deemed okay to be discharged from TTSH and papi went to fetch her and 姑姑 at around 2am in the early morning. He came home at around 3am and though groggy and tired, he saw Messi notched a first half hat-trick. He off the telly at half-time and slept.

Later, he told mummy that this was the first time that he cut short watching an Arsenal match. I guess it was painful. Well, he still thinks that if Van Persie, Fabregas, Gallas, Song and Arshavin were fit and took to the field, it might be a more balanced match.

Btw, today is 姑姑's birthday. She actually took leave days ago and wanted to take us out for lunch. It ended up with mummy buying curry rice lunch from Whampoa. What a turn of events. It is okay, can do lunch some other time. The main thing is for abuela to recover well and soon.

To the market

Continuing with abuela's good news... Papi took half-day afternoon leave today and accompanied her to the market to settle the paperwork around 4pm.

He left her place in the late afternoon and went jogging soon after...now, the bad news...

By the early evening, abuela went giddy, weak, vomitted a bit and had back neck pains. Luckily, she called us and the three of us rushed over to her place to look after her.

Papi sms 伯伯 and 姑姑. They came back not long after. Both of them then send abuela to TTSH for observation. Well, i am going to sleep soon... last heard that abuela is still at the A & E. I will pray for her.
