22 Apr 2025 – RIP Pope Francis
Sun: Happy Easter Sunday also a metaphor for rebirth&transformation to all. Proud of my first-born who again qualified for 2025BostonMarathon. 11yrs ago we enjoyed celebrating her 40thBday with a road-trip to watch her run her 1stBostonMarathon and have not had my whole flock together with me at one location since then/2014!
PeristeriaElata National flower to Panama/S-America – commonly referred to as the HolyGhostOrchid,DoveOrchid, or flower of the HolySpirit, and FlorDelEspirituSanto in Spanish would have been perfect for today. But will have to be happy with these chrysanthemums from the MT-market.
Sky opened as heading for public transport to OrchardRd, shaded all the way whether bus or MRT- decided on Bus36 for a joy ride, hopefully with a driver who will not give me a headache! Heavy rains triggering flashfloods not affecting bus36 despite that the visibility was bad on ShearsBridge/ECP heading to town. By the time the bus looped around from Thomlinson-OrchardRd, sky was clearing up and when it reached the stop in front of The Heeren where I was getting off, rains stopped, umbrella was ready but was not necessary – pix downloaded
Real bad flooding at Shears Bridge from Beach Road. : r/singapore
Nice to have some time to browse around OpenSpace/Level1@Paragon without any crowds – really a MossWall for S$2,500! With thoughts of all those priceless but free moss surfaces on the AT where my tent was pitched 20yrs ago…
First time at KorenSteakHouseCote@ComoHotel,BidefordRd – glad that we had a private room otherwise would not be able to hear or see, an ambience popular with the younger generation!
Appreciations with tkx to Theresa&CJ for this amazing memorable Easter Dinner.
Most unusual way to serve caviar with a beef-base but was very good and so were the other four pre-selected beef cuts+sides&condiments. Caviar/FishEggs! Easter is the only time it’s safe to put all your eggs in one basket – hahaha.
Excellent 1998ChateauMargaux brought by Les&Ivy and good champagne from the restaurant.

It was such a lovely evening with less ppl on OrchardRd after the rains, quite delightful for a short walk to the bus-stop in front of LuckyPlaza for Bus16.
Mon: of course, to be expected after a week like of eating like last week, body is reacting, especially more so now when the immune is not as it used to be. Must have had foods&drinks with more histamine than usual, fasting today and drinking water hoping to rid some of the excess histamine.

Tue: still Mon at the BostonMarathon,MA/USA – pix credits to Linn and so proud of her for completing 42km/26m.
Appt@NDC, looks like this construction will be part of NDC upon completion.
Tkx to Clement for lunch&shopping company@PlazaSIN, unlike those in Paragon, these Bonsai do not need TLC – hahaha
The object is not to make the tree look like a bonsai, but to make the bonsai look like a tree
