The walk to Sembawang MRT can be pleasant just after the rain. There is a stretch of road that reminds me of our Botanic Gardens. And this is the part of the red line that is above ground. No air-conditioning … Continue reading

The Wild Monkeys at Lower Pierce
We like coming to Lower Pierce. It’s nice and peaceful. B was laughing at me because I was scared of the monkeys. He’s more of an animal person than I am and he is quite fond of them. I find … Continue reading

Some Days this World is Hard to Fathom
I watched the movie The Dark Knight Rises and felt a chill when the random shooting scene came on. I can’t even begin to imagine how terrifying it must have been for the victims. The horrifying mass murder in a … Continue reading
