Some people think black is elegant, nice and classic but I noticed that some older people here hate black, especially people wear top and bottom all black. When I was young, my mother prohibited me from wearing black, until I was 35 years old, I still follow the rule of not wearing black. In my closet, you can't find a single black. I also thought black is not suitable for me because my skin colour tone is brownish.
After I have baptise with Christ, I told myself not to believe black associate with bad luck like what the old people think. I started to wear black. It is very convenience, you no need to worry about stain. I felt very comfortable wearing them.
Then, few years ago, there was one old lady from the old age home scolded me when I showed the staff there the demonstration of a system. She was very unhappy. She scolded in her own language, but I knew she referred to my black dress.
Few days ago, there was an old man chatting with me in front of the shop. He said this is a good system, if the people realised the difference, people will buy. Then, he pointed that I should not wear the black here. Well, he did not elaborate further. Since he is an elderly man who just out from hospital treating his blockage in urine system. I believed he associated black with dead. Black is a deadly colour.
OK, I will change, because this is the second time I heard the comments. They must have meaning in it. If I wear black, I will wear a colour jacket outside.

The dumpling soup with noodle, cost S$3/-.
My friend bought for me this sesame for desert. Sesame is said to good for the hair. Hair won't turn grey if eat it regularly.
My all time favourite - the king of the fruits. Lately may be because of the bad weather, it a bit costly. Like this one cost S$5/pce. I could get this type of durian at S$10/- for 3 pcs last time.
My son has lung inflammation
The room 15, the special treatment room for patients who need immediate attention, especially for young children come with fever, or breathless.We put the boy on the wheel chair because he is breathless, easy for mummy and easy for him. He is waiting at the X-ray room. The X-Ray cost S$8/-.
So much medicines for one week treatment. Our subsidize cost is S$8.40 for these medicine.S$7/- for the doctor's consultation.
This afternoon, I was so sleepy because I was not able to sleep for the whole night yesterday. My son felt breathless, he was moaning the whole night.............
This morning I brought him to the neighbourhood polyclinic - Geylang Polyclinic. We took Taxi there because was too weak to walk. Our queue no is 4145, at that time only serve till 4045, at least 100 people at head of us. After half an hour of waiting, one clinic assistance come to me and asked, "Your son got fever? You can bring him to room 15 to see the nurse first." I have come to this clinic for many years, I didn't know about Room 15!
We came to room 15, the nurse asked me a few questions, and immediately do some routine checking like blood pressure etc, and let him lying on the bed to accept inhalation of Ventolin which is able to release the pain in his chess.
They also get the doctor to check on him, and decided to let him take an X-ray before the consultation.
The doctor confirmed that he has lung inflammation from the negative of x-ray, and want us to go to Room 18 to learn the proper usage of the inhaler before we collect the medicine. And the doctor gave 3 days MC for my son.
At Room 18, the nurse speaking with me in Chinese, explain to me the difference between Beclo-Sama 50mcg Inhaler (Beclomethasone dipropionate inhaler for oral inhalation) and Salbuair CFC-Free (Salbutamol inhaler for oral inhalation). Both can be used together.
The one with the blue cap is to help release the tightening of the muscle in the lung. So it should use first to relax the pipe. The one with the orange cap is to help soften the pipe, because if the pipe is inflamed, the trespass way is small. If the inflammation go on for too long, the muscle around there will become harden. Hence the orange cap inhaler has to be used 4 times a day until the doctor further advice. My son should prepare to use it for at least 2-3 years until he is getting better since he has been has the same problem since he is 2 and a half years old.
The child should be able to run, swim, do any things just like a healthy kid if he takes the medication properly. God must be with me this time, for the first time, I got the message clearly from the doctor and the nurse. I will supervise and make sure that he use it diligently. He must clear of this problem before he turn 14. I will bring him back here to see the doctor before the medicine finished, not waiting till his condition lapse. For years he has been sick every alternate weeks, and months. The same problem again and again. You know what I thought some time? I thought there is a curse on me or my child, how can the problem like demon like that never go away. Now, I see the light of solving this demon.
The other medicine we have are:
Mucosol Elixir - 1 Bromhexine HCL 4MG/5ML Elixir 90ML/100ML- for flam
Expectorant - Diphenhydramine Paed - Diphenhydramine HCl BP/ Ammonium Chloride BP/Sodium Citrate BP - for cough
Chlormine - 1 Chlorphenamine 4MG/5ML SYR 100ML/120ML for running nose
1 Amoxicillin 125MG/5ML SYR 100ML - Antibiotic
1 Erythromycin 200MG/5ML SUSP 60ML - Antibiotic
For the same kind of service, if I go to the specialist clinic, it will easily cost me S$300-S$600/-. I remember one friend told me she spent more than S$1000/- for the similar treatment.
I must say thank you to our Singapore government once again. Without the subsidize, my life will be harder. Thank you........ Thank you..........Appreciated.
Damage can be claimed from Airport
My friend has just returned from 7 days tour from China.
The wheel of her Samsonite luggage was broken into half. She only relised the damage after she reached home. She made enquiries with Samsonite headquarter at Orchard Road, they adviced her the replacement cost is S$22/-. If she has discovered the damages before she checked out from our Singapore Airport, and report the damages to the lost and found counter accordingly. The service will be entirely difference. Samsonite Agent will collect the damage stocks from the customer's residence and will return it back at no charges.
I wonder is it only Samonite provide this service? It is very impressive for this aftersales service arrangement. But of course, the Samonite is quite pricy that support their good aftersales service. Samonite extend 3 years of services to customers.

A Dramatic Love Life
It is always easy to write other people's love affair.
I knew Gin when I was working as a XXXX Dealer in year 2000. We have girls help us to knock the door when we do door to door sales. She agreed to see a demonstration of the system at her house. And it was my turn for the demonstration.
At the end of the demonstration, I realized that she was not in the position to buy the system because she was a widow then. Instead I invited her to join me as a dealer. This is a fresh proposal to her; she was hesitated because she never does sales before. She has been the housewife for the past ten years, although occasionally help the sister in law selling some snack in the coffee shop.
She was thinking to work for Beer Company. The beer company nowadays has placed their girls at those popular night spot like hawker centre or neighborhood coffee shop at night. The customers place order for the beer, these girls will serve them by pouring the beer into the glass, occasionally chat with the customer (but not necessary) very simple job. These girls will gain commission from the total sales of the beer sold. I heard those girl can easily earn S$1500++ working from 6pm to 12 pm -2am.
I convinced her to give a try as the dealer. I told her "you will not lose any things by giving it a try, you are not losing a skin, and a hair ....you can also take this opportunity to find out your real potential!"
We wanted her to start by fixing appointment with people she knew. She managed to fix two appointments. First appointment was demonstrated by our group leader who is an elderly man with very hot temper. She must have said some things not appropriate during the demo, hence there was no sale for the first demonstration and the leader was very angry with her. He was so angry that he refused to do the second demo for her and asked me to go instead. I went, and we manage to close the sales. The first success gave her a lot of confidence, then she started to do demo for the total strangers. When she got the 2nd sales, we all know that she is definitely qualified to be the dealer.
Then for 4 years we are working together. We meet almost every day, because we work 7 days a week including raining day.
She has two sons. The elder boy is a smart boy, score very good result in school, but quite addicted to all type of video game. The second son is a dyslexia, can recognize words but unable to talk. When he made noise, the whole block can hear his sound. She engages maid from Indonesia to help her to look after his sons when she works.
Her husband suffered from lever cancel. Before the last stage of his life, Gin noticed that there was one woman came to visit her husband in the hospital while she was not around. At last, her husband admitted that was his woman outside. They were running the second hand car trading business together. Can you imagine Gin's reaction? She went wild and crazy. She screamed and scolded her husband. She felt betrayed and hurt. However, at the very last week of his life, she put his husband into the taxi and let him rejoin with his girlfriend at the girlfriend's house. After her husband passed away, the siblings of her husband expressed that she should not over reacted over her husband's affair. They believed if she kept cool, her husband probably can live longer. She almost has a flight with them.
The husband does love her. He left her with S$220,000/- insurance money! She got half the money, the other half of the money must wait till her son turn 21 years old. The brother in law act as the guardian angel to that money, in order to take out that money will need his approval as well.
With so much money on hand, you know what she has done? The thought of having to take care of her two sons alone drive her crazy. The thought of being cheated by her husband made her more frustrated. She turns to gambling, she was in the "mahjong table" almost every day. One day, some wicked friends brought her to casino that stage on the ship. She won some money, and she become addicted to the game. She brought her own mum there as company also. Within 2 months, she has lost nearly all her inherited money. She borrowed another S$12,000 from her mum. She only awake after she lost that borrowed money! She told herself.............." stop!!! ", she still needs to bring up two kids. At that time, the elder son was 9, while the younger son was 6.
She started to work as dealer. She left home at about 5pm in the evening. The leader will decide where to meet. It could be any part of housing estate in Singapore. She will work till 10pm at night. She is a diligent woman, she sells quite well, 4 to 6 units was not a problem. Several months past........
One night, she pulled the demo set down to the van, she has just closed one sale, apparently very happy, very high and she was red! She said her customer invited her for a drink of red wine, and this guy has watched the demo with the company of a China girl friend.
Soon, this China girl left Singapore for a while. When she returned to Singapore, this man has changed the main door lock and the gate lock, so that this China girl can not enter his house! This woman went crazy, she come to this house to look for him every day and called him every hours. Even this man at home, he closed the entire window, he would not go and answer the door. Finally, when she saw the man was with Gin, she threatens her to be careful. However, not too long later, the China girl was caught by police, because she has "jump flight" - stay illegally in Singapore without a valid passport. She was jailed for 6 months because she was using fake name or fake passport to enter Singapore!
This man was around 50, 1.8m tall, well built. He is a contractor for more than 20 years. He specialized in partition. He used to have a booming business, but lately the business was a bit slow. He would come and meet Gin before we started work. He would buy dinner for her and wait for her to finish work, and then they would go for a beer session or supper together.
Before the China girl, this man used to have a Thai wife whom they have a daughter who was 11 years old then. His wife fell in love with her native man. One day, she just packed the jeweleries and brought along her daughter left Singapore back to her own country without a hint to her husband. This man spent almost a year to search around Thailand in order to get back his daughter. He managed to save his daughter and brought her back to Singapore. Since he is a single parent now, he sent her daughter to stay with her half sister. He paid them S$1500/- for food and lodging. He only brought his daughter back during weekend.
The relationship of Gin and this guy developed very fast. Gin started to refer him as her boyfriend. He would fetch her back after work. He would bring her to supermarket to buy food for her children. He also brought her to meet with his half sister and daughter. He also encouraged her to bring her sons to his house for party. When she has poor sales of the month, he would top up her accounts with S$800-S$1200/-. He helps her to buy a second hand van in order for her to carry on her business as a dealer independently. He enjoyed her company, she also fond of him who was always generous to help her out during the difficult time. Every thing seems going smoothly and nicely. But, this man revealed to Gin, since he had a bad experience in his previous marriage, he is sceptical to "married". He would prefer to stay as friends with no commitment.
Occasionally, she would complained that her son sneak out to play video game, never know how to save money, and he some time very rude to her boy friend. In one incident, the boy was seating behind this man's car, this man was smoking in the car! The boy just screamed," so smelly". This man commented her son was very rude, and she felt very hurt of his comments. Numerous times they quarrel because of her sons, especially the elder son. She has to bet him not to have grit with the child, …….look, they are just the kid.
He bought a pendant with a tiny diamond for her as birthday present. She told me this was not some things she was looking forward to. She wanted his proposal for marriage. But he expressed that he felt pressurised because of her heavy overhead. It will be good if they can just be friends.
I heard that another suitor was very serious with Gin. He tracked them. This new suitor has some financial difficulty, he told Gin he was not as rich as that guy now, but he will provide her all she want. He took up a part time job as taxi driver, he promises Gin all his income from the taxi will be going to Gin. Later, when he caught Gin kissing that guy in the car park, he couldn't take it. That night, when he see the kissing scene, he made himself drank, and he has a fight with a stranger, actually, he wanted to have a fight with his enemy.
Gin has been avoiding the boy friend for a while. She actually still in love with the boy friend, she was not interested in this mad suitor. She avoids him because she want to see him come back to beg her back. But this never happen, when Gin was not available, he went to Batam to buy sex instead. When he realised Gin has a new suitor, he went to Match maker Agency to get him a Vietnamese bride. He returned once, and finally, he went again and marry the second Vietnamese bride. Gin was so hurt, he rather marry some one he rarely knows than to marry her!

Hawker store going hi-tech now
This is the drink store in the China Town hawker centre next to OG. The store was operated by 2-3 elder ladies. Whenever, the customer come, they will ask the customer to touch on the screen what item they want. There is another screen inside where the aunties prepare the drink. The aunties will reconfirm with the customer the item again, and collect the money accordingly.Just along to this store, there is a fish noodle store, they have a precision scale to weigh the weight of the raw fish. The portion of S$3/- and the S$5/- portion are difference obviously.
Insect
Insect are rare nowadays because we will kill them whenever we see them. This one was found resting on the white flower in the bush near the bus stop.I enlarge to 8X in order to take this picture clearly.
"Nothing better to do" - did I hear you saying this???
Boy cannot wear pink colour mer?
This school bag cost me S$130/+ to buy it. I bought it for my daughter because this school bag was designed to help the children to maintain the good posture despite the heavy weight.My girl only used it for one year when she was in Pri 5. The next year, she rather choose a more fashionable brand than to use this more functional bag.
I decided not to waste my money for any new bag since this bag is still good. I passed it to my son. He has complaint to me numerous times to change another bag for him, he wanted some thing more boyish. He said the classmate laugh at him for he wear a pink bag to school!
I don't think I want to waste money for nothing really. I am thinking to go to Takashimaya to buy some blue dye to dye this bag. Wait for a while longer, I am going to do that, ok son.
Kambagan MRT new playgroup is in progress
This picture was taken in Nov 07. The ground has been leveled and the glass was grown beautifully. What is this big field meant for? Another basa maren (the mobile store, or night market)? .jpg)
The ground are leveled, the lamp posts were installed. The light is so bright like national statium.
The picture was viewed from the MRT platform.
There are a lot of new development around Kambagan MRT. Firstly, the government built the running track that one end link to Bedok reservoir, another end link to East Coast Park. Now, it seems we are going to have a big playground just next to the MRT.
Last time, when I see this big plot of land. I thought this is going to be developed into another private residential project or commercial project. But I am happy to know that I am wrong.
A wealthy nation need healthy people. Hoora........ cheer Singapore.

Show off your precious stone
The other night, I met Serin in People's Park Complex hawker store. She has just finished dinner with her husband, and bumped into friend, so they sit at the side way to chitchat.
You know woman always never miss the glittering things! I notice she wear a diamond bracelet, it is sparkling, it does not look like a fake one. So, I said, wow you wear a diamond bracelet! She said she has bought it many years ago for 3-4 thousand Singapore dollars, she treasure it so much that she hardly wear them. She kept them in the safe, and only wear it once or twice a year. Some closed friend of her tease her, "If you don't wear now, will you wear them when you part with this world."
She think this is also right, so decided to wear it as often as she could.
How many of us will keep the treasure in the safe, and wear them in a donkey year?

Cheap Airfare
Yesterday, this man from Malaysia visited our shop. Then, I found out that he is transit here and flying to Taiwan tomorrow, because of the lower air ticket available here from Jetstar Asia. He has to pay closed to S$1000/- if he buy the ticket from Singapore Airlines flying from Malaysia to Taiwan, probably transit Singapore.
Now, he fly to Singapore by domestic flies, or take a bus travel here, or come here by train, when he arrived in Singapore, he stop for one night, and come to People's Park Centre to buy Jetstar air ticket flying from Singapore to Taipei. He paid S$238/- inclusive airport tax.
I went to check for him, if he book the Jetstar ticket on line by himself using the credit card, he can save the agent's fee, because Jetstar only charge S$158/- on line and presume the airport tax is S$50/-, he only need to pay S$208/- saving of S$30/-.
Jetstar's service is very basis, no free food or drink provided, no TV, no entertainment in the plane which my children could not take it, but their seat are all leather seat. Any things extra - paid. If you plan early, you probably need to pay only S$99/- from Singapore to Taiwan.

My Cousin
The another day, I have just talked about this cousin with my other relative on the phone, today he bumped into me at Outrum Park MRT, the world is really small! We last met almost four or five years ago in her sister funeral. Five years actually not very long time, but I looked at him, I wonder why he looked so.................. old. He looked like 60 going to 70, actual fact, he is only 47 years old this year. He is about 3 years older than me!
His hair is all grey, he has grown skinny, there is break out on his face, one patch of reddish skin, looks like allergy skin, his face has lost the shin, it more like sever dehydration. I felt like preach him the important of drinking "Pi Water" and how it could save him from his aging process going at the fast speed. But, this civil servant who I believed is loaded with the bonus from the government will not believe what I preach.
For five years didn't see each other, he seems has not much to communicate with me, may be he is embarrass of his heckle look! Or maybe he does not want me to ask him any things...
That's right, I am right, I have to take care of myself and get on with my own life.

Lazy or reluctant?
My son has English spelling every Monday. Last week, he scored 10/10 for the English Spelling. I was happy for him, because this is the first time in his entire 11 years old life, score 10/10 for the English spelling. He used to get zero mark or 2/10, 3/10. He score 6/10 after returning from the June Holiday, and 8/10 on the 2nd week, and 10/10 on the 3rd week.
This morning I tested him in running sequence, he has done quite well for the 9 spellings. When I took my bath, he asked my permission to take a rest, and I said OK. After my bath, I tried to test him in random order, oh, oh, he mix up again. I think he was not focus and last his concentration. I suspect his mind now were on the ants now.
Then, I saw him took up the maths assignment book and left it on the table. And it was already eleven o'clock past ten minutes. He supposed to go to school by 11.30pm to attend his English tuition class. I think he thought the tuition class is not important, and he thought I will teach him the maths instead of hurry him for his tuition class.
Once again, I roared to my voice top. I told him, " you supposed to take out all your homework on Friday night, and I will try to find time to teach you. I can't help you now at the eleven hours. I told you yesterday, you will attend the English remedial class on Monday 11.30pm, and Maths remedial class on Tuesday 10.30pm. This classes are very important, they are going to help you. I can't do any things right now, and you have to pack and go immediately. No point crying now."
I think his quilt and nervousness for not finishing the maths home work make him lost his focus as well. Well, I afraid this is part and partial of learning lessons for him.

Mum, can I rebone and dye my hair?
My girl treasure her hair, she said that it is the crown on her head. Her hair influence her mood, when she has good hair day, she feels wonderful, when she has bad hair day, she feels frustration. She has a silky, nice stylise hair now and she has been thinking of re bonding and dye her hair.
I was careful about cutting her hair since she was a baby. I don't blade her hair and only scissor was used because I afraid the new hair would grow too thick. Whether it is true or not, it is my believe, and I don't take chance for her hair.
I worked in Hair Salon for 3 months. I saw most women who dye their hair have to come back to salon regularly to patch up when their new hair has grown. Most women who tried to dye hair to cover their white hair eventually grow full head of grey hair when their new hair grown.
I don't understand why, but I think it is partly due to the "breaching effect" in order to get the desired color of the hair in the very first place.
I have experience dye hair and re bonding when I was younger, my hair become dull, dry and weak after that for a long, long time, and my hair doesn't have natural shine unless I go for hair treatment or another round of colouring.
I am now keep it simple, and I think my hair has become vibrant again.
