We Are All Strangers

27 Aug 2026 – RIP Dolly Parton

Mon: the haze loomed as the PollutantStandardsIndex/PSI ~98 in the central region inched ever closer to unhealthy levels – no plans of being anywhere near the central today or this week. For weeks, Sumatra&Kalimantan have been ablaze with forest&land fires fuelled by a super El-Nino in addition to also being the HungryGhostMonth鬼月(13Aug-10Sep)with all the ritual-burnings – pix downloaded. https://amylamsg.com/2011/08/22/if-religion-is-a-thing/

Who can affordS$8-13k monthly? All-day dining,hydrotherapy-pool,hair-salon,bus@SIN-first-private-assisted-living project. Prayers&hopes to not see the day to be in a situation when unable to take care of myself – working hard to keep body&mind as healthy and for as long as possible at this stage – pix downloaded

Tue: 10yrs ago/a decade today – tkx for the memories and for the times when this body was still able to hike with a tent! Saw the new hair-pin-bend road under constructions then, do wonder if that is completed? https://amylamsg.com/2016/08/25/trolltunga/

GiantGrocery/MTS$56.10 includingS$2.80Sen+PromoSave. Enjoying the fauna&flora under shaded walk on MP-Rd between TelokKurau&Still-Rds-Jcts. Do not remember going on any field-trips when in Pri-School here but fun memories chaperoring my own kids@their Elementary-School-Fieldtrips in the US.

Crossing StillRd to continue underground@MP-MRT-Exit6 to discover this thrift-shop and decided to vounteer one day a week there for a good cause, being a strong believer for recycling and not for religious intentions or thoughts despite that the profits are donated to The Society of St Vincent de Paul/SSVP.

MrCoconut treat when walking underground here and up above ground@MP-MRT-Exit3 continuing on shaded walkway on JooChiatRd.

GV@I12 to watch We Are All Strangers 我们不是陌生人 and taking time with a mini-rice-bowl late lunch@Guzman Y Gomez to reflect on the movie while enjoying my fast TexMex-Foodfix. The other SE-Asian movie watched this month, DearYou 給阿嬤的情書 and what I liked about both is no action,sex,violent scenes, both letting me know that basic human decency is not dead…

Welcome to this new artificial BananaPlant+2 stalks of Bird of Paradise neither fading nor decaying to replace the 20+yrs old dried-twigs+dried-eucalyptus-leaves. Have given up~20yrs ago having anything alive within my 4walls besides myself, hahaha! Finally the electric-sewing machine has a cover to keep the dust away. Will require a few days to set-up this new sewing cabinet, and subsequently, additional time will be needed to sew the sheer curtains.
