Recently, a friend reminded me to take time to smell the flowers. Today I did just that!

OUT TO LUNCH
Today is the first time that I mixed up a lunch date. Lee Ling and I are suppose to meet tomorrow (Sunday) but I thought our appointment was for today (Saturday). I had Whatsapp'd her this morning with the message, "See you at 1PM!" Fortunately I scrolled up, re-read our previous conversation, and saved myself needless embarrassment by following up quickly with a 2nd message, "Tomorrow".
:P
My brain was out to lunch - for sure.
THIS USED TO BE MY PLAYGROUND
Did you know that I used to live in Jalan Bukit Ho Swee when I was a toddler? My parents would go to work, leaving me with the granny who lived next door to us. I've lost count of the times that granny and I have visited Tiong Bahru Market and its vicinity. We'd have lunch. We'd pick out a small toy or a cheap snack. We'd shop for tableware and household knick-knacks.
I lived in Block Number 32 until I was almost four years old. The building still stands today. The old cluttered shops have been replaced by new designer ones. So amused to find these good old enamel plates on the shelf!

今天总觉得笔画是很不顺 还是勉强抄了几个字。 *** 当一碗水端不平的时候 只有牺牲那个最善良的人才能风平浪静。一旦那个善良的不愿意再牺牲了 就会被扣上一个破坏和谐的帽子。 人性的丑陋之处就在于明明自己揣着私心 却苛求别人大度。 善良的人总是在反省自己 质疑自己 用道德约束自己...
