Last Singapore trip of the year

The anticipation for long weekends never, ever gets old. October also happens to be a great month for days off with National day and Chung Yeung Festival. Cheung Yeung festival happens to fall on Friday which means, an extra day in Singapore. Well, really just an extra meal in Singapore, I decide to take the morning flight into Singapore that gets me in around 4 pm. Having an extra meal in Singapore is small minor but makes a huge difference. The weekend was pretty relaxed, which is nice when traveling. The theme of the weekend was Apam Balik, or Min Kiang Kueh, or Ban chan Keuh.

Dinner and cards with Albs in New Bahru. Saturday we caught up with my cousin, had some hawker food and tried some Bryani and a Studio Ghibli evening with pizza and left over Pavlova. There was a covid scare (yes, this is still a thing).  Sunday, New Bahru market for breakfast, ice bath and sauna, some Vietnamese for lunch and off to the Airport.

The weekends go by so fast. I'm losing track of these Singapore trips. Which I guess is a good thing?










Weird to think that this is the last Singapore trip for 2024. Currently reading: Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow.

Singapore

Second trip to Singapore. Another redemption flight, got a cheeky upgrade, so feeling very grateful there. Pretty relaxed trip. The after work flight on a Friday is a tough one, but if it means not having to scramble after work and getting a little bit later, then no issues. Finally got to see her new apartment. The home away from home.  


Saturday got a massage, caught up with cousin for some Chicken Rice and had dinner and durian for dessert. A classic Singapore day. Much cooler than in Hong Kong right now. Sunday was relaxed, popped over to Siglap for the UFC and then back to the Convention centre for some a friend's and family sale. Back to Hong Kong.
