Temperatures here have been a not very pleasant 33\u00b0C (but feels like 36\u00b0C), with Hannah being the same cranky self she\u2019s been since Friday. A couple of relatives have been wondering if the fact that she\u2019s grumbling a lot more of late is because she\u2019s starting to teeth.<\/p>\n<p>Either way, I\u2019m glad that the visitations to Lentor and Bedok were wrapped yesterday on Sunday, as that means we can spend the next two days together as as family again: including heading out on CNY Day 2 to forage for food and to stock up on Hannah\u2019s groceries. No easy task mind you \u2013 because most supermarkets are either closed or only partially only over this couple of days.<\/p>\n<p>Still, we managed to find an NTUC Fairprice Hypermarket opened today: an outlet we haven\u2019t been to before at Hougang Point. It\u2019s not quite the size of the AMK Hub Hypermarket, but still far bigger than the typical NTUC Fairprice outlet. I think we\u2019ve found a favorite supermarket now for those occasions when we have a lot of groceries to buy, and it beats driving down to AMK Hub!<\/p>\n<p>Too bad we didn\u2019t have much choices for brunch at the mall itself. It was either McDonald\u2019s or KFC, and we decided on the latter. Happy pictures of Mommy and Hannah to compensate, courtesy of the little Panasonic LZ8 camera that\u2019s in Ling\u2019s handbag everywhere we go.:)<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: inline; border: 0px;\" title=\"blog-2010-hannah-P1010673-CNY\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/blog2010hannahP1010673CNY.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"blog-2010-hannah-P1010673-CNY\" width=\"300\" height=\"450\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: inline; border: 0px;\" title=\"blog-2010-hannah-P1010675-CNY\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/blog2010hannahP1010675CNY.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"blog-2010-hannah-P1010675-CNY\" width=\"300\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If there\u2019s one thing I really dislike about CNY, it\u2019s the humidity and heat of January to February that the festivities often fall on.
