Happy Birthday Daddy Lim

Daddy Lim's 45th bday nicely fell on a Sunday this year but everybody was busy. Zzzz. Daddy Lim had to work, Nana went to church and spent the afternoon with her youths. Even Zaky went on a Wild Wild Wet play date with his primary school mate. I was the only one with no program. What did I do? Clean Puffy's cage and changed out Mochi's litter. Zzzzz. 

Daddy Lim came home  in the early afternoon and we decided to head to JP for lunch. Just us, no kids. 

We really need to start learning to do things on weekends without the kids. Bcos we haven't learnt, we ended up doing what we do best - grocery shopping. Hoho. Then to get new glasses for Daddy Lim. 

Speaking of glasses, 我真的不懂. I don't understand how their glasses can spoil so easily and need to be replaced almost wvery year. Each pair of their glasses cost at least $500 bcos they are all blind bats. My old flower off the shelf glasses are only $15 and served me very well the past months. 

Then we rushed off to buy a cage for Mochi. While the intention is to allow him to roam freely, we see the need to confine him sometimes. We decided to get him a big cage, so that he would have enough space when he needs to be confined. 

真的很大 hor. Ya, I know our house looks like a pet shop now. Hohoho. We had originally wanted to get Mochi one of those super nice wooden cat condo but those are much smaller and expensive. We have no idea how long Mochi would be willing to stay in the cage and decided to save our pockets. 

At least we got to eat dinner together as a family at our favourite Korean restaurant.

There must be bday cake right? So we finished off with ice cream, cake and waffle. 

Happy 45th bday Daddy Lim.

Let's grow old together and have many more interesting adventures without the kids. Hohoho.

HBD Daddy Lim!

It is finally Daddy Lim's turn. This year, we are all stuck at "home" and we decided to do something "fun". We thought of doing a staycation only to realise that it cost so much to get a tiny room to crowd together. I almost click on the "book" button so many times only to turn away the last minute. Cannot lah, the kids can just turn on one the room's aircon the whole day and have all of us stay in that room and use phone non-stop. Same, same. 

We started off the day with a chill ride and bfast at the WC market. 

Eventually, I made a booking for escape room at 12.30pm. I was on half day leave. We opted for the kids' friendly Kungfu Panda game so that nobody will tell me of nightmare in the night and find a chance to squeeze in with me. Hoho. 

We didn't make it out in time but were allowed to complete the game with the given tips. Not bad lah, we completed like 80% of the game. 

I had to take a call at 2pm bcos I forgot to apply for leave and my calendar filled up. There was a meeting that I couldn't push. Ended up, the kids benefited from ice cream while I took the call. 

At 3ish, we were nicely seated at Park Royal Line, ready to enjoy hi-tea. 

Woohoo!

We must be hungry people. When I had this hi-tea with the girls, it took us like 2 hours to finish and there were leftover. With the kids, we were done within an hour and ALL gone. Hoho. Only left with good memories. 

The hi-tea was obviously too little bcos we started thinking where to go for dinner next and ended up at the Korean restaurant at Sunset way. The bulgogi and ginseng chicken were perfect to end the day. 

Ah kim sent Daddy Lim a birthday cake but we didn't have space to savor it. 

The feasting continued today. Like that can roll already. 

We finally got to eat the cake.

Nobody wants to take picture with the bday boy but at least they oblige to recreate this picture.

Fb prompted me this old picture. I think it must be at least 6 years back. So different now. Haha.

Daddy Lim's Medical Review

If there is any beauty to working from home, it must be the flexibility. Got laptop and connectivity, anywhere can work.

Daddy Lim had his 1st medical review on Tuesday. Fortunately the kids still go to school on Tuesday. I drove the kids to school in the drizzle before driving Daddy Lim to NUH for his medical appointment. Ooooo.. I am getting so good at driving but not for long since there wouldn't be opportunity with the circuit breaker and I will forget everything about driving after that. Hohoho.

I started working at one of the open air benches in NUH while Daddy Lim went for his appointment.

I bet the change in environment was helpful. I was super productive and even had a discussion call.

Daddy Lim had to have his x-ray and blood taken. Then it was a wait to see the doctor to review his progress.

Good news! The doctor said that his wound looks good and his lungs look good. He is definitely on the recovery road. However, it would be another 6 weeks before he can engage in "aggressive" workout. Daddy Lim specifically asked about cycling. The doctor said that he can do "gentle" walking and/ or cycling. What is gentle cycling? Hahaha.

I was supposed to drive home but I couldn't as I was still "working from home". So I continued working while Daddy Lim drove us home... His 1st ever drive in 3 weeks. Yay!
