Friday. New Year Eve. The hospital has discharged my father from hospital after diagnosing him with mesothelioma (a kind of cancer). He will need to go back for chemotheraphy treatment. The dietician said he lost weight during the time he was in hospital and told to get him some Ensure HMB Life milk powder. After bringing my father home, I went online to search. I think it's pretty much controlled price after checking Lazada, Qoo10, Giant and Fairprice.
星期五。除夕。爸爸在医院留医被诊断得了间皮瘤（一种癌症）后，今天出院。他需要回来复诊做化疗。营养师说，他在住院的时候体重减了。她叫我让爸爸喝Ensure HMB Life 奶粉。我带父亲回家后，上网搜索过。价格在Lazada，Qoo10，Giant 和 Fairprice都一样。
🎶Meanwhile, some music for you to enjoy as you read. This piece is part of Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons, particular the first of the 4 violin concertos, called Spring.
🎶让大家继续读的时候，欣赏一点音乐。这件作品是维瓦尔第的“四季”的一部分 - 4小提琴协奏曲中的第一首，名为“春天”。

Then I found Guardian had one with a shaker. So I went to their stall in Toa Payoh and found it.
然后我发现Guardian有送个杯。于是我去他们在大巴窑的店找到。
Just to be sure, I went Fairprice Supermarket and Watsons. Watsons had a 20% sale on many items but the milk powder I wanted to buy was excluded. Along the way, I passed a new optical shop.
为了肯定，我去Fairprice超市和屈臣氏。屈臣氏有许多产品有八折可是不包挂我想买的奶粉。一路上，我经过家新的眼镜店。
I went to another Guardian store.
我去了另一间Guardian。
Then I saw they had some on offer price but no vanilla flavour. They suggested I order and pick it in 1 to 2 weeks. So, I ordered 4 but thought I would go to the other Guardian to get the regular price one later. I bought 2 $10 vouchers from Home Team Club at 50% off and could use one of them here. She suggested that I take 5 because they will give me one more $10 voucher which I did though I didn't know I would already get 2 $10 voucher with my puchase amount. However, those vouchers can only be used between 4th to 31st January.
然后，我看到他们有些在卖特价但没有香草味。他们建议我订购后过一两星期来拿。所以，我订4罐，但我会去另一家Guardian先买些。我之前从Homg Team俱乐部买了2张 $10礼券时有50％折扣，在这里可以使用其中之一张。她建议我买5罐，因为他们会给我多一张$10礼券，我就订了5罐。其实，之前不知道以我之前消费额，我会得到已经给我两张 $10里券。但是，那些礼券只能在1月4日到31日使用。
Then I walked to the other Guardian store and it started to rain heavily.
然后我走到另一家Guardian。那时开始下大雨。
I had to pass by "The Boys".
我要经过“男孩”。
I took another photo and decided this art will be my black and white photo contest entry.
就多拍一张照片，并决定这艺术品将是我用来参加黑白照片比赛。
So, I made this to black and white.
所以，就将这张编辑为黑白。
At the other Guardian store, as I picked up the tins of milk powder, the cashier told me if I want to get with them without the shaker cup, there were some at the entrance which were selling at the offer price. That's also good news. I went to pick up 3 tins and paid for it partly with my $10 voucher I bought from Home Team club and I got another $10 voucher from them. Let's do the Maths. I saved $10 with the 2 vouchers I bought. Each tin is $3 cheaper so I save $24 with the ones I bought and ordered. I got $40 vouchers from them. So, I should have a $74 savings in total. It's not something I would have bought ordinarily but it's good to have savings. Anyway, the $10 vouchers they gave can only be used with a $20 minimum purchase and you cannot combine them in one transaction but I have a plan. I'm going to go there 4 different time to buy 4 tin separately. Back at home, a rest. It was 7pm and I started watching a bit of the fireworks from the count down in New Zealand over youtube. Wishing all a Happy New Year.
到了另一家Guardian，拿起奶粉罐时，收银员告诉我，如果我不想要那免费杯，外面有特价的。那算好消息。我拿了3罐，也用了我买的另一张$10礼券。他们有给我一张$10礼券。让我们做些数学。我用的2张礼券买的时候省了$10。每罐头便宜$3，所以节省$24。他们给我$40礼券。所以，我应该节省了$74。这不是我平常会买的东西但能省点钱是好的。无论如何，他们给的4张$10礼券需要花费至少$20才能用而且不能合起来用。但我有一个计划。我会在不同时间分4次分别买4罐。回到家里，休息。那时晚上7点，我开始看YouTube的新西兰倒数烟花。祝大家新年快乐。
