Eat Yusheng

Taco went to the dining table when he smelled abalone.


Taco eating abalone

 This Chinese New Year I ate Yusheng for three times.  The first time was from 834 Eating House.  I ordered it and brought home to eat with children.  They forgot to give me the abalone.  So that night, we ate the yusheng without abalone.  

The second time and third time, I bought the yusheng box from NTUC.  I bought the shredded carrots and opened a can of abalone(given by Johnny).  

Taco smelled the abalone and he loved it.  This was the first time Taco had yusheng with us and also first time he ate abalone.  He ate so many pieces of abalone.  

The second time which he ate Yusheng with us, I opened another can of abalone.  This time I prepared a plate of eight abalone for him.  He ate them all!  And he still wanted more!

Feeling Happy

Standing in front of the church hall, not knowing when I can receive Jesus ever...


I had not been updating the blog.  My computer is not working properly.  Now I'm trying to use the handphone to do so.  

Today I feel so happy because I took the opportunity to ask father (Gerard) about receiving holy communion.  As soon as I am prepared to go for confession, I can receive Jesus again.

Chilli Plant

 

My Chilli plant at the corridor garden

This is the first time my chilli plant has so many chillies -- nine chillies in total.  And last night, one of the chillies has turned totally red!  It's about 2-3 months from seeds to fruits stage.  

When I was young, if I saw chilli plant, I would pluck them and put them in my garden.  They never turned out well.  I never knew that I could grow them on my own, and it was so satisfying to see them from seedlings to fruiting stage.  

 

Taco sleeping soundly on the bed

Just like seeing the chillies plant, watching Taco growing well and growing bigger everyday was so satisfying as well.  On 27 February 2022, he was just so small when first brought home.  Now he has grown so huge, same size as the mother -- better shape, the mother was so skinny.

Midnight Fishing

 

Night view taken at Woodlands Waterfront Jetty


Went fishing at night and it was really cooling and fun.  The view was nice and there is no hot sun at all.  We cycled to Woodlands Waterfront Park and then towards the jetty.  There were still people at the jetty despite the late hour.  We found a spot and we laid our mats.  Then we started to fish.  

Years ago, I used to see people fishing at the jetty.  This time I went, I have yet to see anyone fishing.  I do not know if fishing was allowed because I saw the no fishing sign in front of the restaurant.  However, yesterday I saw the Fishing Etiquette!  So fishing is allowed.  

Fishing Etiquette at Woodlands Waterfront 

We fished for about 2.5 hours and we caught nothing.  In total, we went midnight fishing for about 3 times and it was all for fun.  We did not catch anything at all for all occasion.  We did not see anyone fish either.  

I saw the rubbish collector doing their job at the jetty.  They pushed their rubbish cart, emptying the rubbish bin along the jetty.  They also chose to work at night where it will be cooling instead of the day time hot sun.
