Back To Reality

Jun 2026 – Welcome Back Hannah and Garry

Tue: unpacking but not sure how to get back to reality after an amazing week in Penang/Malaysia in good company eating scrumpious diverse Pranakan foods and getting to taste TupaiDurian which has leapt into the durian kingdom and is here to claim the crown of durians. Exhaustion with aches all over and until phone is working fully again, will be online with the laptop to communicate and download pix for today and the next few days…

Wed: Starhub/Paragon for a new SIM-card – interesting location but waiting area more for the alien generation, ie not comfortable sitting for weaker backs! and now to figure how to reactivate the Apps – piz doenloaded.

Thu: Diaso/Bugis to pick up reading glasses(besides loosing phone, reading glasses broke when in Penang!). Tkx to Leonard for meeting@OldChangKee老曾记 /NationalLibrary unaware that OldChangKee replaced where Hans was. Pleasant&breezy alfresco congee lunchS$14 back to the reality of S$. Old phone from May still working to receive calls&messages but unable to retrieve some pix or just me not knowing how?? so frustrating but now can receive&send messsages, get into my more important Apps like banking, etc…

Fri: welcome Hannah back to SIN tkx for taking time to visit and for this delicious chocolates from Germany.
