50 SHADES OF GREY

The haze is back, and with a vengeance too.  I'm all teary eyed.


PSI: 260.  Will it breach 400 like it did back in 2013?

It's a holiday and I'm keen to have my parents to try out the still fairly new London Fat Duck.  This morning they took one look outside the window and needed no convincing to remain indoors.  So I strapped on my mask and dived into the smog.  


The restaurant opened at 11AM.  I waddled in at 11:05AM to find the place packed, and a gaggle waiting to be let it.  Despite the bustle, the service was pretty decent.  I managed to place my order for takeaway at 11:11, picked it up at 11:41 and arrived home at 12PM sharp.   Mission accomplished.

It was exceptionally tasty London Roast Duck Noodle (S$7.80) and crackling on the Pork Belly (S$13.80) was to die for.  Well worth the dive into the haze earlier on.

练字

已有N年没碰过书法。 我年轻时曾写得一手好字,都归功于祖母。我从三岁开始她便教我认字和书法。后来工作上依赖上电脑,动手写字的机会几乎为零。 今年退休后,惊觉自己写的字竟退步到那么 awkward 的程度。一个字:醜! 立心要重新把字给练回来!真的好难啊!无论怎么努力,都象是幼儿园...
