Longevity noodle

 

Noodles from Crystal Jade

Yesterday was mum's birthday.  She had been sick for almost four days.  Her blood pressure was high.  But after drinking Methi seeds drink, she was better.  I planned to buy durian cake for her but on Thursday night, my brother wanted me to buy longevity noodle for mum.  He said durian cake is too heaty.  

So I went Causeway Point at 11am.  When I reached 5th floor, the shop was all dark and no one was around.  The sign was shown: Closed.  They will only open at 1130am.  So I went to walk around first.  At 1130am, I looked at the menu and I asked the staff, "Do you sell longevity noodle?"  They showed me the noodle page.  They don't sell noodles that are cooked for like 3-4 people.  They only sell noodles that are consumed by 1 person.  So in the end, I bought 2 packet of different noodle.  

In the photograph above, on the left is Ee Fu Mushroom Noodle and on the right is Fried Mee Sua with XO sauce.  The Ee Fu Noodle cost $16.80 and the Fried Mee Sua cost $20.80.  Mum thought one packet of noodle cost around $8.  The portion was very little, but mum ate little only, and 2 packet of noodle was enough for the 3 of us.  

I wanted to have 2 red eggs for mum.  I asked the Crystal Jade staff if they can sell me 2 red eggs.  They said red eggs are only available for dine in.  They don't have red eggs for take away.  So in the end, no red eggs for mum.  

My sister and I did not sing Happy Birthday song for mum, but we wished her Happy Birthday, and said good and auspicious words to her.  After eating the food, we spent some time together.  I taught her how to play Candy Crush.  She likes the game very much.

Pizza Bar (Spicy Tuna)

A good Samaritan gave delivery riders each a Pizza Bar as shown above on last Thursday.  I was picking up delivery at Woods Square, and had parked my bicycle there.  When I returned, above my delivery big box was placed a pizza bar as shown above.  I looked at other riders that was parked around me.  They had it too.  Thank you whoever you are.  I placed it inside my box.  

Back home, I put it in the fridge and last night, I warm it up.  Warming up was so simple.  Just need to put in the microwave for 1 minute and the pizza bar was heated up.  Isaac tried the pizza bar and he said it was nice.  

What's inside: Pizza Bar (spicy tuna)

You can see what is inside the pizza bar above.  It is a good snack.  Will consider buying it in future.

$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.

Photograph showing the 'red packet' or Selamat Hari Raya ang bao in my bicycle basket

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.
