4 May 2026 – Welcome to the Month of May2026
Fri: TGIF and a good&safe long weekend to all – here in SIN is a public holiday to welcome the month of May on this LabourDay. Staying away from any chances of being near a crowd! contentedly catching up with current happenings&headlines around the world inside my 4-walls. Perhaps being from an ex-BritishColony for the first 15yrs of this life journey

might be bias and not objective! but here is another speech (besides his grandfather KingGeorgeVI/1938-KingSpeech – pix downloaded) worth remembering
when&where KingCharlesIII delivered a historic address to the US-Congress emphasizing the US-UK alliance, global security+shared democratic values – pix downloaded. So far, the only person from any royal family who I have admiration&respect is QueenElizabethII(1926-2022) – she has done her duties and taken her responsibilities with dignity&grace where actions speak louder than words.
We have really everything in common with America nowadays, except, of course, language – Oscar Wilde
While on the subject about ppl I admire&respect from family&friends: my own father LAM TinYue, my childrens’ paternal grandparents JohnHALDIII&EllenPOULSSON; and the only politician LEE KuanYew – so far to be able to count them with just one hand in my over 7+decades in this life journey.
The world will little note nor long remember what you say here, but it can never forget what they did here – Abraham Lincoln
Sat: tkx to FB for a memorable post from Abercrombie&Fitch opening its only outlet here Dec2011 and was there to take pix with these handsome young men: https://amylamsg.com/2011/12/13/drool-drool-drool/ Coincidently, bumped into two of them@SBG the next day when they had their tops on: https://amylamsg.com/2011/12/14/more-drooling/ Now 6yrs after their closing, nice to have those memories but no worries, still smiling&drooling now that there is Chick-fil-a here in SIN looking forward to tasting it – hahaha…
Comment from AllisonBacotSmith: Dang, girl!
