      Finally get to visit the newly revamped Pek Kio market. After one month of renovations, I don’t see much changes, :razz: except it felt brighter and toilets had been upgraded.


      Saw my SIL & BIL and had breakfast with them. SIL told me it is a must to go for massage/manicure/ pedicure/perm or colour hair etc. before I come back from KSL hor. These services are 1/3 of Singapore prices.

      Then met another 3 groups of friends while marketing. 今天不知什么好日子, took me a few hours to come home from market :faint:

      Ppl are missing Pek Kio mkt so newly revamped mkt brings ppl together. :grphug:

      But I didn’t expect to meet so many familiar faces there and I was wearing my PJ there :yikes: (old T-shirt and shorts) and didn’t even comb my hair ! :faint:

        Jennifer:
        likely upgraded the lightings to LED or some energy savings lights and major cleaning of drainage pipes.


        better not anyhow replaced floor tiles or tables/chairs, else invites criticisms about Govt wasting tax payers’ money.
        Quite true but Shut down for one whole month, I thought I would see some major facelit mah.

        Probably also changed all the old electrical cables in case short circuit and cause fire

These days, I don't mind anyone bumping into me as I am, nor will I be judgmental abt others' attire. True frds come fr the pleasure of shared experience - explore the changes, yearning for the usual flavours of local stalls, appreciating a local common place to meetup.

          Ya, must admit if I were in my young adult days, I used to ensure I doll up anywhere I go. Used to wear stilettos for work & dates. Pretty sandals even only to hawker centers. But as I grow hopefully 'wiser' I'm more at ease with myself. So, so long as I'm not indecently dressed, I love to meet ano fellow frd in a down-to-earth context. Now I find dolling up too pretentious. I just ensure I'm not in tattered clothes nor present myself indecently, shld be OK bah. It's also how you carry yourself. Be yourself. Be genuine. Love company & open abt sharing life. Cest la vie!

                  :rotflmao: but leeyl you dont have to worry too much la..I agree with esteema, just be yourself..my dh also lost hope with me..I always tell him, it is like that one..I find esp our profession lor, outside work/weekend/when attend classes, many wear like as if they are at home 😂 maybe many people like that too..not all but quite many. And also, now at this age, the more I realise youth is really important, for you all still relatively young, no problem, still pretty.

                    I made use of today’s public holiday to hold a farewell/graduation party for my son’s P2 class. The bond they have built up is so strong and worth commemorating.


                    Next year they will be reshuffled into bigger P3 classes liao. I’m quite melancholy to be saying goodbye to the other parents of this class. It’s so nice when there is no pressure from streaming leading to a competitive streak or infighting among the class parents! We came together to plan & throw together this party for the kids to let them have a final gathering before they move on. We end the school year of 2018 with plenty of fond memories and pics!

                      The girls love the chandelier very much. I also like it and it is bright enough for their bedroom! :rahrah:

                      For the other room, currently there is only 1 lighting point. We decided to change the ceiling light to a ceiling fan with light, BUT we were worried the room may not be bright enough.

                      So decided to install 4 more downlights to go with ceiling fan but since there was only 1 power point, I couldn’t switch off the downlights or else there would be no electricity supply to my fan. 😓

                      Almost gave up till I came with with the idea of installing lights that its on/off could be controlled by remote control. Salesman introduced me to LED track lights where it can change into 16 million colours and it actually blends in nicely with my new KDK ceiling fan. Looks trendy. Cool ! :rahrah:
