30 Aug 2025 – Flu-Shot
Wed: bringing lunch to sisJo now age 88, her helper on leave in the Philippines and Micheal away – nice to see her with such a good appetite enjoying the CCF&Congee from MT-market and being me knew that she, like me would like lots of extra condiments.
She is amazing and has impressive green&nimble fingers – made a bag full of these beautiful paper-quilled gift cards.
KeDongDong/Spondias dulcis is a tropical fruit that grows in equatorial climates, it is also known as Ambarella or SpanishPlum. Calamansi/Citrus × microcarpa, also known as Calamondin is a hybrid of kumquat&mandarin orange. Both here bontiful with fruits – appreciations with thanks for a bag of these self-picked from her garden.
Have not seen a StarfruitTree/Carambola for a long while, bringing back memories with one at the courtyard@5TemenggongRd.
Delighted to see what can grow within a small patch of green in these semi-detatched-residents, like a SecretGarden!
It made her think that it was curious how much nicer a person looked when he smiled ― The Secret Garden
Thu: Garry mentioned MealsOnWheels, triggering off memory of a visit when broLawrence moved for his boys’ schooling in Sydney/Australia when I volunteer doing some MealsOnWheels then. Garry was telling me about a friend who had a stroke and lost his memory, but when going thru’ some of his images on FB-posting managed to bring back some glimpse. Definitely a reason to blog&post on FB with images, not only for reference but for that it can&will be a reminder someday if&when needed. Experiences&glimpse into the past can hopefully be lessons for the future… https://amylamsg.com/2009/11/05/trolls-brain/
In May2013 my blog was approached by the SingaporeMemoryProject/SMP but busy and did not follow-up and now too lazy… https://www.singaporememories.gov.sg/
How often do we tell our own life story? How often do we adjust, embellish, make sly cuts? And the longer life goes on, the fewer are those around to challenge our account, to remind us that our life is not our life, merely the story we have told about our life. Told to others, but—mainly—to ourselves ― The Sense of an Ending.
Fri: views of both sides of KampongBahruRd@overhead bridge from KB-BusTerminal to SGH for follow-up,flu-shot,prescription refilled.
Since in the area when energy permits would also wander into Chinatown. Views of both sides of EuTongSengSt&N-BridgeRd at the overhead bridge from ChinatownPt to Ppl’sPkCentre to discover that Ppl’sPkComplex is newly painted red making it easier to distinguish the difference from Ppl’sPkCentre. Advantage for me to not go to wrong location, yes it has happened – hahaha!
Next to one of the first few ijooz machines now is a new ReadYourFuture machine and believe it or not, today’s entertainment cost S$2 worth of common sense reminder! Remember that your health needs serenity and good mood.
Do like how this public phone is incorporated on the mural here somewhere on UpperCrossSt. Seldom but cute to see ppl dressed in matching material clothes remembering how fun it was those days when the kids were dressed in matching clothes.
Sat: ~02.30hrs got up to close the windows completely, depending on the intensity of the pitter-patters on the AC-compressor by the bedroom window. Completely=heavy downpours=AC or fan to be turned on otherwise stuffy within the 4walls which also means interrupted sleep. A snoozing day in perfect weather for recoving from a flu-shot with a book.
The person who deserves most pity is a lonesome one on a rainy day who doesn’t know how to read – Benjamin Franklin
