Stick Club Matcha Latte

Bought this in a convenience store in Tokyo. 2 long sachets in packet and I bought 2 packets.  

Alright, I admit that I was quite disappointed with it. Abit diluted with slight bitter taste. Taste the same in both warm and iced. Just not to my liking.

Colour looks good though. Warm or cold ( depending on your choice), dark green and thick like frothy latte Nice to look at, but not nice to drink.  

Sakura Matcha Kit Kat

Picked this up from Narita Airport, not cheap though I cannot remembered the prices now.
Its supposed to be a mixture of the sakura flavour and matcha flavour and on the list, its listed as 5% matcha powder so essentially, I didn't have high expectation of the matcha flavour.
Its sweet and cloying and taste more of white chocolate than anything else. There is still a hint of matcha but none of sakura flavour. Perhaps I missed it along the way.
I do give the thumbs up for this wafer because its really awesome, but perhaps a tad too sweet for some people.

Shizuoka Matcha Cheese Cream Cake

Fell in love with this box when my eyes first laid on it. Matcha and cheese are my weaknesses, so there is no way that I can reject it, when I saw it in Japan. I cannot really remembered if I bought it in Osaka or Tokyo but its an absolute love.

Moist and fluffy, it tastes really wonderful. The matcha taste blends well with the cheese, without overpowering it. Simply yummy!

How Do Your Grandparents Spend Their Days?

Just can't help feeling sad. I visited my maternal grandfather this evening. He has been in the Wellness Ward for the past 15days and this is my first time visiting him, after I came back from Japan.
In my mind, I thought it was a ward with volunteers, social workers and nurses creating activities for the elderly to keep them entertained and busy. I don't know what I was thinking but I thought Wellness Ward should be something like this, isn't it?
Its for keeping the patients occupied in order to prevent them from thinking about other things. Isn't that what its supposed to be?

My grandfather has suicidal tendencies. He woke up each day to find himself wondering what to do that day. He has no interest in anything. He does not want to live any more. He found life to be meaningless. I do not know how I can help him. He does not know that he have been staying in the ward for the past 2 weeks. He just spent each day lying in bed in the ward. I just feel so helpless, so sad. I do not know how I can help him to overcome his suicidal tendencies.Can someone please tell me what to do, before its too late? I am so scared. I have lost my paternal grandparents because they suffered strokes.
My maternal grandmother is in a wheelchair, currently being taken care by a newly employed maid who does not seem to know anything. During the interview, she claimed to know everything. After the interview, my relatives realized she doesn't know how to cook, doesn't know how to help my grandmother, doesn't know this and that.

I do not want to lose my maternal grandfather. Can someone teach me what to do? I am so helpless and just cannot stop crying when I see my lone and frail grandfather lying in bed each day. He is always saying that he is hurting here and there. He has difficulty in breathing. He does not want to watch TV or read newspapers. He cannot walk or stand for long. The only interest he has, is to play chess but nobody in the family has that interest.
Is there a chess club for the elderly? At least I think its a good activity to keep him alert and occupied.

Nestle Matcha Kit Kat

Wafer sticks covered in creamy matcha. Its more milk ( perhaps due to the white chocolate) than matcha flavour and sweeter than preferred. But I still quite like it.
Wafers are crispy, just like a normal Kit Kat does. I cannot remember where I bought it from, but its also available in Narita Airport.

Matcha Wafers

This packet costs around 350yen in Narita Airport. Since I am a big matcha lover, I could not resist getting this back to Singapore. However, it did not really taste as good as I thought.
Its like a matcha biscuit wafer with cream in it. Slightly sweeter than I preferred. Not something I would repurchase.
