On All Kind Of Lines

4 Feb 2015 – In A Never-Ending Mode Of Learning!

Sun: at SIN Casket and Mandai Crematorium to bid farewell to KimLeong. Was there not long ago for another wake. At this stage of life will be saying more farewells…

Mon: not in the mood to be out anywhere or with anyone. The fact that 5 people I knew passed on since 14Jan in addition to the wet weather made it a day to stay indoors to eat, sleep and staying online. Will probably not remember any of these movies.

Three clever and creative logos: if you hadn’t noticed, there are two T’s partying over a bowl of salsa. The pink part in the “BR” stands for 31; which is how many flavours they’re known for having. Camera/place setting, nice.

Tue: enjoying these breezy days with no need for AC sewing and listening to music. Getting the CNY outfit ready is taking its toll on the eyes with threading of needle 🙂 Pix credits to ST & CHAN ChunSing of the crowds for the CNY light up on Sat night. Looking forward to seeing the lights.

Happy Thaipusam to those celebrating and to those who are not, just enjoy the diversities of all these fascinating celebrations. Thaipusam pix credits to ONG WeeJin of ST.

Tkx Linda for the share of this site. That explains why I listen and hear so well… hahaha! Have been at the piano for six decades and still at it; the cello is history, now exchanged for a ukulele. Downgrading in size – lol.

Tkx to Jules for this bit of interesting news. Re-reading some of these books and most interesting to realize how religion was to me when in my 20s, 30s, 40s 50s and now 60s. Having lived amongst these Nordic environment for over a decade, do have a slight idea about Norse Mythology and the Vikings! Good company for Allah, Buddha, God, deities, etc. As the saying goes, ‘the more the merrier’ 🙂 🙂 🙂

An interesting read where one sentence – ‘A nascent megalomaniac may wear many hats before donning the service cap and shades of a despot’ got me looking up the dictionary 3times!!! But that one powerful sentence describes some people who many are not aware of 🙁
