Rats on order
When you have to take people around – people that you would not normally mix with in your social or professional life – there are many interesting things that you learn in conversation.
In the end, it is the end
So the Angsana Tree at Braddell Road was hacked down on Sunday.
I was away over the weekend and on Monday, I had to go to Toa Payoh and took this picture:

What took 80 years to grow, was felled down in one day.
The Angsana Tree
Just a few months back, I drove up Braddell Road.
I’d not driven up this road in ages, and realised that there was a tree right in the middle of the road.

Unhappy time for all
Work is piling up. All dogs are unhappy and refusing to eat.
And the weather is starting to get hot and stifling.
Great.
Did you enjoy your ang pows?
I did.
Not what was inside, but what was outside. Continue reading “Did you enjoy your ang pows?”
In search for freshness
Having squeezed the life out of my current tube of Darlie All Shiny White Flouride Toothpaste, I went in search for another tube. Continue reading “In search for freshness”
