Curious sights at home

Uncles bonding in the rainThere is a small grass patch in front of the block. Directly under our window. It's next to the playground, and belongs to the nursery downstairs. We've also seen senior citizens playing croquet (yes - croquet - so very Brit!) there. Last Sunday, two uncles were hanging out there. In the rain.

The Marine Parade community
We are under Uncle Goh's care. I've always had a soft spot for him. He was a very good PM, and from what I've heard, a very approachable amiable person. He's also my dad's old classmate from RI, and they always have something to chat about when they do meet.

So, although we don't get to vote, being under Uncle Goh's care has its perks. We have security cameras and monitors in the lifts and lift lobbies, the estate is relatively clean and pleasant, and there are quite a number of interesting activities. This Sunday flea market is one of them. The other is the very happening District Arts Festival whose collaterals really impressed me.

Dec - report card

The kitchen is almost done. The baking oven is in, and we inherited some nice plates and stuff, and a cutlery set from Big's aunt - all un-used. We're just waiting to turn on the fridge and pick up baking stuff.

The 'bots moved in even before we did. Shows who's the priority here, doesn't it?

A surprise visitor

We've had both sets of parents and siblings dropping by. We're planning for baking spree with some of Big's colleagues, and a house-warming of sorts for his office nearer the New Year. I'm hoping to get the Ecosystem and Capris in Jan as well.

But we had a surprise visitor even before the parents came by.


This is my friend Spot.
