Tue: hello Sep – productive day with grocery-shopping@24hr-Gaint/MTS$32.79 and fresh-produce@MT-wet-marketS$14+ running errands@PP. CocoaNibs@ScoopS$3.86, basket for the Banana-plant@DiasoS$9.60, delighted to find the Black-Squid-Ink pasteS$10@Fairprice. Like doing grocery in the early hours to avoid crowds&heat. Consider myself blessed to still be capable of doing my own grocery shopping and partaking in other activities that help me maintain a healthier and more active lifestyle.

Appreciations with many tkx to cousin KarenL for taking time to catch up with these old B/W pix from the family bank&house from Sarawak/Malaysia(1930s-1970s) – going to be a busy month to sort out&update blog postings – pix credits to her.

Also tkx for some spare-parts for the old Singer-sewing-machine+for her yummy homemade scones, perfect company with the afternoon-tea/

ThankU for introducing this Steamed-Fish-StallS$10@KopitiamS$Basement/PP and glad that she liked her first taste of Tauhu-PokS$6, alternative to the Rojak or Popiah.

Wed: crossing StillRd and looking forward to the library to be opened and for the underpass there to be completed. First day volunterring  SSPV@Katong,MP-MRT-Exit5 – trying to colour-code the clothes at the BargainSection knowing that it will not last, but at least trying to do something constructive. Like that the ceiling is in different colours, easier to explain when giving directions.
