made zhu and ck go to downtown orchard with me on a friday evening.
i have faint memories of my papa driving me there to look at the christmas light-up.

i wasn't sure if i had once again constructed those memories 'cos i saw photos of myself with the lighted backdrop.
but today, those memories have never felt more real.

i felt a sense of peace within myself.

that's what christmas is about.




today, zhu, ck and i spent an hour playing monopoly on iphone inside tcc.

since i wrote or had a weekend which is not packed
my year-end weekends have been marked with weddings and loads of other commitments.

this is a great weekend, had my own time to do my own stuff.
work up late on sat.
started watching "宫心计“
shopped a lot on my own at causeway point
got these disney tops for my colleagues' babies who are all turning one tog.



dropped my shopping and had a drink at mt emily with a friend
small but nice place to chill out

had a good lunch at pu tien with family today
and spent a long time at the new mall next to mustafa
it was surprisingly not packed with people i was expecting

found time to do a montage with my sister-in-law's help
its now up on my wall

great weekend :-

the senior gr group pop over to batam one weekend, for some self-care and eating.



the post-live fish at the golden prawn seafood place



after our hair mask



a short but well-rested trip.

farewell-ed out home on 9 aug 2009, after exactly 40 years.
i shed some tears.

this is the view from the kitchen window, that tree really grew a lot over the years.
and at the bottom of it lies the malayan train tracks.

guess i won't be missing those night trains much 'cos the new place is also near the train tracks.

la la lah

settling into some routine from the temporary lodging in clementi.
algy has been my orientation and bus guide to the area.
