$8 Foodpanda Voucher

 

I used the $8 Foodpanda Voucher to purchase the above items.

Today I received three Pandamart deliveries.  On other day I also delivered Pandamart deliveries.  But today the 2 Pandamart deliveries that I received was so bulky.  I had problem picking up, but I still try, cannot cancel order.  

From now until 15 June 2021, Foodpanda gave $8 voucher to buy from shops with a minimum amount of $15.  Obviously customers are making use of these offer.  I check online and came to know that the bottled drinks (1.5L) cost only $1.49.  From two of the Pandamart deliveries, I had drinks, so many bottles of drinks until I had to carry it all the way up to the customer's premises.  In the end my hand was so painful with red marks.

At first I thought the first case with the mineral water and green tea drinks was bad, but the second one was even worst.  I cannot carried it up to put in my bicycle box.  It was simply too heavy to raise up from my hand.  I had to take out 3 bottled drinks and put them into my front basket.  The photograph above did not showed the 3 additional bottled drinks that I had taken out.  I put the bag into my bicycle box and my pink box was out of shape.  

As I was cycling, I had to cycle slowly from the wobbly bicycle due to the heavy weights.  What if in future there are even more items?  Anyway, I made use of the $8 voucher too, as shown in the uppermost picture.  It cost $17.15 and after deduction I pay $11.64.  For me, its like buying Lactus with 2 free gifts consisting of bread and plasters.

Good Samaritans

Went to work one day on the 5 June 2021.  I went to pick up food and when I returned, I still never noticed anything in the basket.  It was only after I reached the customer's place, when I was taking the food, I discovered a brown packet.  I thought someone had thrown in litter into my basket.  So I went to deliver the food.  After I came back, I looked at the brown packet.  It wrote 'Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri'.  I took it up and saw something purple.  It was a $2 note inside.  Had someone given me a red packet?

I went working for quite sometimes now, and people who give tips are few.  So far I had only encounter one case of a condominium customer who gave me $2 tip, and another case of HDB customer gave me $2.40.  Then a few cases of 'keep the change' for a few cents of change.  

Sometimes the customer will send message to say no hurry, stay safe.  So there are quite a number of kind people around.  Working in this line is very tiring and legs will have blister also.   But its just so nice to see kind people around.

Another case of kind people is at Woodlands bus interchange.  I was pulling the trolley.  Luckily there were lifts, otherwise I had to carry the trolley all the way up the stairs.  A woman saw me walking towards the lift and she waited patiently for me at the lift.  Then she pressed the lift door opened, she was so patient.  In the lift, there was another man.  When the lift door opened, he pressed the door opened and waited for everyone to go out.  This is definitely a gracious society.  


Cebest Anniversary

 

 

 This is a video I had done to remember Cebest. It took me a few years to be able to get over it and to create the video.  Today is Cebest's 15th death anniversary.  

I had always wanted a dog.  Richard bought me a dog, Baby, but due to pregnancy, it had to be given away.  After that Richard left the family.  He returned again after about less than 2 years.  Then one day, his friend lent him a car.  He drove to Pasir Ris and there we saw so many dogs.  We looked around and we liked Cebest.  Love at first sight.  We decided to buy him.  I bought the dog for him.  

But I am the one looking after the dog.  I bathed for him, gave him food and he slept with me.  He followed me everywhere I went.  We were always together.  When I sat at the table to use the computer, he would laid down below the table, waiting patiently for me.  

When I put on the shoes for him, he knew that he was going out.  He would be so happy, jumping about, dashing around, waiting to go out of the house.  Because of the vaccination, he died.  Now I am very scared to bring Dora for vaccination.  Her yearly vaccination is due.  Should I bring her for vaccination?  Dora is 2 years old now.  I had not brought her for vaccination.  

Isaac wanted a dog.  He wanted a Dachshund.  But it was so expensive.  Furthermore I am scared the dog and cat would fight.  I did not hope for another dog.  Two is enough.  Having Baby and Cebest is enough already.  I hope they will be happy now in heaven.

Toto Tickets

 

2 winning Toto tickets

My mother gave me 2 winning Toto tickets -- 3 winning numbers only.  I went to claim the prize on 18 May 2021 as I was afraid of encountering crowds.  So I went to claim at Woodlands North Plaza on Tuesday morning.  There was no queue and I got my money very fast.   I just gave them the tickets and they gave me the money.  

2 winning tickets paid out of $43.60

I received a total of $43.60 from the two tickets.  $43.60 is considered a lot for me considering the fact that I cannot even earn this amount in 4 hours.  I worked as Foodpanda rider and for 4 hours, mostly I cannot even earn $32!  

Yesterday I went to Causeway Point Challenger to buy 2 MicroSD card for my mother.   As I am not a Challenger member, I need to pay $7.50 for each card.  Member price is $7.00.  So I paid a total of  $15 for two cards.  I would transfer some songs to her.  She loves listening to songs.  

Sometimes if I have inspiration, I would buy Toto or 4D, especially if there are special dreams.  However, I hardly win, or should say never win.
