Frazzled Nerves


What a day! First, I received a very positive message from my mum yesterday evening.

She asked me to arrange food delivery for her until end of the week so that I can rest my back. Well, well! Progress!

So I texted back that I would be happy to do so and thanked her for her suggestion.


Today. the scheduled delivery arrived on time and I gave my mum a call. In fact I called her many times, she did not pick up. So I sent a message and noted that the text did not get through.

Hmmm.... I tried the house phone but could not get through either. What's going on? Understandably I was very concerned. 

After an hour, I decided to walk to my brother's house. So much for resting my back! LOL!

When I got there, I noted that the food was no longer on top of the mailbox. I unlocked the gate and went into the house. It was all dark.

Then mum came out from the kitchen and I found out that there was a power outage. No wonder messages were not getting through because the wifi was down. Haiz!

Anyway, mum had already eaten her lunch (great!) and I left shortly after. The electricity supply thankfully was restored about an hour later.


There is nothing like a cup of ice coffee to calm the nerves, eh? I headed to Yin's Sourdough Bakery & Cafe for a late lunch. 


I needed something good to make my day.


Another one of my favorites here, the Prawn Tartine.


The green apple slices were very sweet, very unusual for green apples. I suspect the kitchen dipped the apple slices in sugar syrup. I wished they would not do that.


That was a good lunch and my nerves were appeased.


I hope I can sleep tonight hah..hah...


At The Starling, Pho Vietz is under renovation.


I wonder if their menu would also be revamped.


I saw this on FB this morning. Girl must have looked like that when she was a wee kitten hee..hee...


I hope tomorrow will be a better day.

    The kitten is adorable. Please take care of yourself and get some proper sleep ๐Ÿ˜ด
    The meme at the end of your post gives great insight.
