It's Labour Day, I had dim sum for brunch with my family. Lately, we like to head out for a meal together whenever we are free. This gave my mum a break from cooking and a chance for us to enjoy good food together. As I grow older, I cherish such time together. While we are growing up, our parents are growing old too, so cherish the time we have together.
We reached Zi Yean Restaurant at about 11am, a Chinese restaurant that specializes in Cantonese gourmet dishes.
Mummy ordered a plate of Hor Fun for us to try out. The hor fun was silky and delicious, we loved it very much.
The Fried Wanton has a crispy skin exterior with meat filling wrapped in it. I always like fried wanton because it was flavoursome. Har Gow on the other hand was encased in a thin layer of skin and steamed till chewy texture.
We also ordered Char Siew and Shrimp Rice Noodle Roll as well as other items.
The dish I like was Taro Salted Egg Custard Ball. I like the milky custard that flow out of the fried taro ball, it was very tasty. How I wish I can have more.
We went home after that. Shortly after I was halfway using my laptop, the battery just died as my laptop was unable to charge suddenly. I have no idea what's happening to my laptop. A day without laptop at home is so bored.
I am currently using Innisfree Canola Honey Lip Balm, a moisturizing lip balm that adds a moisture layer for the prevention of dry lips.
The lip balm contains Jeju canola honey extract and canola seed oil that gives a delicious honey fragrance when I applied on my lip balm.
I am also using Balea Buttermilk & Lemon Hand Cream. It gave my hand gentle moisture with fresh scent of buttermilk and lemon. The hand cream has a thick and creamy texture, absorbing fast when spread well.
LipHop Spa Splash Aqua Facial Cleansing Water is my current product for makeup remover. It effectively remove makeup and purifies while providing aqua-refreshing touch to our skin.

We have a sumptuous lunch affair at Swensen with my team.
It has been a long time since I last had Fish & Chips. The fish was well fried with the outer stayed crispy and the inner remained moist.
I had Chocolate Crunch Ice Cream where the cold ice cream was engulfed by hot fudge and loaded with crispy chocolate morsels. It added a crunch to the melt in the mouth ice cream, making it a perfect combination dessert.
Thanks Gina for the delicious team lunch treat.
I have been constantly on the lookout for shampoo that tackle hair loss as the amount of hair loss during hair wash can be scary at times. Recently I have switched my hair care product to TS shampoo.
After using TS shampoo for a week, my hair has become more manageable with lesser hair loss, say hello to healthier hair. It contains 24 kinds of botanical-derived extracts that provide a healthy scalp environment.
Having a clean and healthy scalp is the key to thick and strong hair. It also has a refreshing citrus scent that makes me feel good after shower.
The texture was thick which makes it perfect for lathering to foam. I used the shampoo to give my scalp a deep massage with fingertips, showering has become a pampering session too.

I joined Tracy on a Saturday morning to Health Fiesta 2019 @ Suntec City Convention Centre where we visited Gu Ma Jia Private Kitchen booth for a tasting.
Gu Ma Jia (姑妈家) means Auntie’s House in Chinese, it is a Singapore Chinese restaurant set up to share delicious home-cooked food with its customers.
We had Luo Han Guo Tea to go with our meal and also while chit chatting with each other.
We had Curry Chicken with Buns and Salted Fish Steam Minced Meat with Rice. The salted fish steam minced meat may not look very appetizing but both of us enjoyed this dish the best. The meat was flavourful and delicious, it brought back the fond memories of the olden days with this simple one dish meal.
We also enjoyed the curry chicken which added a kick to our appetite. Everything was wiped clean.
Thanks Tracy for inviting me along for the tasting. It was a nice catch up sharing our updates and problems. Catch up soon again.
Sunday 5/5/19
We celebrated Mother's Day a week in advance because we wanted to avoid the crowds. We had Mother's Day dinner together with my aunt's family at my favourite zichar stall at the neighbourhood.
I meet up with GF, Tracy and Meryl for brunch at Bugis+ @ Encik Tan before the start of our adventure hunt.
We ordered mostly the usual dishes we always have except for this. We love having zichar because it is more economically than restaurant. The bill was about $300 for 15 of us. Thanks bro for the dinner treat, we ate until so full that night.
Saturday 11/5/19
I have Mee Rebus and Rose Drink at $4. The drink was just perfect to ease my thirst after a mild spicy meal. We made use of this brunch to also discuss some of the big plan for Tracy.
We have changed into our attire and ready for TNP Adventure Hunt 2019 - Go Local in the Ultimate Race. Meryl and I were in a team while Tracy and GF were in another. Each team was supposed to complete 15 challenges in 2.5 hours. Though Meryl and I only managed to complete 11 challenges, we have fun and enjoyed the adventure hunt very much. We will definitely join again next year.

Right after I came back from JB, I went out with my family for dinner to one of our past favourite zichar stall. We initially wanted to eat Bak Ku Teh but all the stalls were closed on Monday.
We ordered a bowl of fish soup for sharing. The soup contained big chunky fried fish, cubes of tofu, veggies and tomatoes. I love that the soup was added with milk that makes the fish soup heavenly good.

We made our way down to the east for the launch of Hairlux Flagship in Singapore.
Hairlux is an upscale luxury salon located at East Coast Road that offers a luxurious and pampering hair experience. They are specialised and highly trained in hair and scalp treatments.
Hairlux also provides essential hair services such as cut, colour and perm by their professional team of creative directors and senior hairstylists.
I brought KP along with me to Hairlux. It has been awhile since we last went out together. After that, we headed out to VivoCity.
I met up with Tracy and we headed in to Sentosa for AIA Glow Festival 2019. The reason we were there was for The Sam Willows' concert.
GF and Meryl came over to look for me just shortly before the start of concert. Love it when we are able to see each other so often.
The top local pop quartet, The Sam Willows, took over the stage and got the audience to groove along with their catchy tunes. It has been such a long time since I last went for a concert.
After the concert, Tracy and GF used their food vouchers to purchase some bites for the 4 of us to share. We got Pita Bread, Baked Falafels and Black Bean Hummus.
Still not feeling full, we left AIA Glow Festival and made our way to HarbourFront for some munching at McDonald.
I have gotten a travel size Tokio IE Inkarami Head Spa Treatment to provide care from the scalp to the hair.The rich moisturizing ingredients soften the scalp and prevent dryness.
Here comes the end of May's updates. Good bye.
