To save a man’s life against his will is the same as killing him – Horace
Sad to hear the news – have not seen her since over a decade ago when she asked for help (if only she could ask for help this time round!) to insert flyers into envelopes and then in Dec2011 at a picnic concert@SBG where we got to taste Ting’s home-made ShepardPie&CarrotCake+Geno’s egg-plant dip and cider.

Edited: 13Dc2024 –
Trips to Giant&IKEA/Tampines for more errands picking up these clip-on shelves – nowadays unable to run around all day or carry too much, so will have to make shorter trip within a day!
Always wanted 2clocks to know the time in Norway as well as here but none within my budget have so far caught my eyes – at S$5each and to my likings, managed to hang and satisfied with these for now…
Thu: tkx to ClimateVouchers for this fan with 5% discount S$12.90@BestDenki for members(appreciations to niece for the use of her membership), S$245 deducted from vouchers with still S$55 left. Total amount spent S$8taxi-fare to get this fan back to the 4-walls – walked to PP/MP but could not walk back with this bulky item.
Have been eyeing bladeless fans for the past years but they were all way above my budget! EuropAce/Air-PurifyingBladelessFanS$258 is light enough for me to carry to the taxi-stand, mobile to move around within the 4-walls safely and for ppl like me who are tired of cleaning dirt&dust caught in the blades&the protective guard of fans. Hopefully it will serve my needs – only time can tell!
Fri: long considered a harbinger of bad luck, Friday the 13th has inspired a late 19th-century secret society, an early 20th-century novel, a horror film franchise and not one but two unwieldy terms—paraskavedekatriaphobia and friggatriskaidekaphobia—that describe fear of this supposedly unlucky day.

Sat: nice cool wet morning, clearing&cleaning hoping to declutter more stuff but does not seem to feel or look any different!! How in the world can so much stuff fit into a 4-wall-studio-apt??? Tkx to Ria for her share about that the Sumatras are lines of thunderstorms which I only just learnt about!

Finally got to try HjhMaimunah@JooChiat – somehow whenever passing by the lines snake on to the street and today was perfect for early dinner without lines. The last time eating Periwinkles was in KCH/Sarawak Feb2009 with the consequences of bad food poisoning. Had to try again knowing that the stomach will be upset, but now easier to handle being in familiar grounds – glutton for punishment, hahaha!
