Happy Halloween/2026

31 Oct 2026 – YMCA/StevensRd

Tue: welcoming early hours sight of the sky with the moon set from the kitchen window and the sun rise from the main door again since ~3weeks ago here at MarineC&T. Opening door&windows to provide air circulation within the 4walls before the traffic congestion with their exhaust pollution accumulation during school operating hours. In fond memories of EllenAnnemor(1924-2020)who would have been 102 today – a gracious lady, grandmother to my 2children and great-grandmother for my 6grandchildren. Thank you for crossing paths in this life journey.

Wed: finished altering niece’s dresses and now to attempt to fix nephew’a bag.

Thu: being more of an aboveground person, amazed myself again for being underground to Taka/OrchardRd discovering an interesting pop-up Hinemos Sake-stall@Wisma which would make perfect gifts for Sake-fans.

Nice Marimekko Shop@Taka – L&M had matching Marimekko-PolkaDots design night-gowns&T-shirts when they were kids. Do like many of their colourful,bold,simple designs since the 1970s and still do like but in my personal assessment, certain elements of their clothing collection appear to be more appropriately tailored for individuals with larger body frames.

Appreications with tkx to Clement for yummy DimSum@SoGood/Taka and for his company on a crowded MRT from Orchard-DhobyGhaut to run some errands@PlazaSIN.

Wow! thank goodness it has been safely captured. https://www.asiaone.com/singapore/python-choa-chu-kang

Fri: unprepared for the overwhelming emotions, struggling to gather thoughts for a special TributePosting to a dear cousin. As time progresses, similar to all aspects of life, memories are not as vivid as they once were, however, old photographs and blog entries do not deceive, and those treasured memories are preserved through images.

Sat: appreciations with tkx for lunch which coincidentally is Halloween, not that we celebrate Halloween but Happy Halloween to those celebrating. Today is a Celebration of Life for our group here@MetropolitanYMCA/StevensRd where both Judy&Daisy work.
