21 Jul 2025 – Imagine
Sat: belated posting for last night’s Steamboat dinner@BukitMerah. Delighted that elevators are now installed@overhead bridge. ~45mins direct joy ride on Bus196 to Clement’s getting there just before 1800hrs to avoid the CBD-rush, otherwise would have taken over an hour if caught in rush hour. Being in a rush and not moving are not mutually exclusive, the Japanese have adopted this western phrase as their word Rushawa – trivial info!
We’re in this together usually means I’m here for you, unless it requires me getting into my car anywhere near rush hour – Dov Davidoff
Appreciations with thanks for a delicious&delightful Fri evening discovering refreshing new drinks, especially for someone who usually drinks water.
Someone tell me how this is works? @MT-Giant with intentions of buying some fruits, eyed a bag of cherries+a bunch of grapes but was informed by cashier that for one bag of cherries would cost S$18 2bags on promo for S$13.95 – not going to argue or question such a deal. Decided to forget the grapes, bought 2bags of cherries using S$10CDCvouchers, paying a total of S$3.95 cash – pleased to taste these fresh firm sweet yummy cherries for the weekend treat. No Sour Grapes – hahaha…
Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom and where our cherries grow – Marcel Proust
After S$90 with 2foreign workers for ~45mins as the presence of Cantonese-speaking BigBoss only for BigJobs. Minor job of kitchen sink now no longer dripping, yeah to that new sink not necessary, and hopefully no more drips for the rest of my time here.
Sun: appreciations with tkx to FB-friends DocMartin&RY/HKG for updates on TyphoonWipha – pix credits to DocMartin.
Mon: nieceYasmine&family+cousinYatSoon&family, pix credits to him who so eloquently puts it what a wonderful vindication it is of our interconnected world that these two lovely, differently mixed-heritage women living in 21st century London share the same great-grandparents who were born in 19th century China. We are all citizens of the world and we should rejoice in our shared diversities. In these potentially troubled, distracted times it is a comfort to reflect that “we are far more united and have far more in common than that which divides us” (Jo Cox MP, 1974-2016).
Bringing back memories of a trip in Paris,France/1998 with May and her 2cousins Kat&Yasmine – quite an amazing mix with origins from China,Iraq,Norway from LAM TinYue’s branch. We also have 12AuntieWinnie/Eurasian,15AuntieElise/Germany,CousinHelen/UK.
Still is my favourite song since it was first released in 1971.
Off to SBG for the 2025Orchid Show for today. Posting tomorrow…
