5 Apr 2023 – Warmer Days Are Back
Sun: nice to meet up with CynthiaT who has not been back to SIN to visit her family since 3yrs ago – she is a cousin of PuiChung/Linda on her father side and a cousin of ShookWah on her mother side, small world! Managed to find 3dresses for S$10 that should be fixable and hopefully wearable.
Mon: wondering on foot around LittleIndia to run some errands@CitySqMall and an early Assam-fish-lunchS$8 before the lines…
Continued on foot to Suntec to watch Taiwanese supernatural comedy mystery Marry My Dead Body關於我和鬼變成家人的那件事 – a same sex marriage between a human and a ghost, a police officer finds a red wedding envelope, only to find out that the owner of the red envelope is in fact a ghost from the other side asking for the officers hand in marriage before reincarnation.
Dinner&dessert with Clement – the drizzles&cooler weathers made it possible to walk around both in&outdoors of~8k today.
Tue: Finland becomes a member of NATO today making it the 31st member.
https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/news_212288.htm The North Atlantic Alliance was founded in 1949, the aftermath of WW2. Its purpose was to secure peace in Europe and there were 12 founding members then – Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, UK, USA. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization/NATO – ensures that the security of its European member countries is inseparably linked to that of its N-American member countries.

Wed: on with the AC in these warmer days to fix,mend.repair,sew,etc anything that is possible to safe&salvage so as not to waste before closing down the 4-walls for the next 5months ahead. From now till packing is done, the 4-walls within will be in a chaos&mess, not in any condition to receive guests – am overwhelmed just looking&thinking about what will be needed for USA,Norway,PEI-thru-hike.
The real cure for our environmental problems is to understand that our job is to salvage Mother Nature.
