Haha, Pei! Mayb u should have said “woman” (fact) instead of “lady” (opinion)? Just joking lah. Caller probably didn’t expect/wasn’t prepared for your question!

Oops that’s right, thanks for the catch, Areya.

Lucy – my folks cannot bring themselves to even entertain the thought of moving out of this place.

Here, the only people who order coffee that already comes with any semblence of milk in it are teenagers/non-EU. Everyone else drinks what the rest of the world outside the continent knows as espresso.

I miss the kopitiams man…

Living in the same place for 35 yrs? Yr family belongs to the rare n probably dying breed of S’poreans that include my sister (in married home since 1973); a cousin (in Serangoon Gdn home since circa 1963)!

I enjoy flat whites too, Lucy. Just love seeing the foam art when I am in a new cafe heh.

All those “foam” patterns on top of the coffee remind me of Loving Hut! Sorry, have gone off milk/soy foams for a long time. Now only long, white (oat or rice milk) n flat. A tt’s available only at home.

Mad Men: K, don’t watch English TV serials any more. Strictly K-serials only.

BG: yes, a bit stark. Minimalist? U r a bit yng to start junking trappings, ;)

Heh my favourite quotes from the series – Mad Men.

Changed the layout, removed the BG. Is it very glaring?

Huh, dis profound? Sorry, lost on me.

Lucian, it always twists something inside me. Then I need to let out this huge sigh, just to reduce the swelling.

Med, now each time I am in Japan, I will think of you. Don’t know why. Well maybe I know but the reason is warped!

Lucy, tell me about it!

Have not been to HK proper for a long time. But yes, in our train system, no solo wheeler can get through!

I love the presentation and many dishes. Just not the cleaning up after that. Haha.

lucy — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 02:45:18 +0000

My sentiments exactly re kids n shoes! As fr clustering, I somehow feel they do it better in HK. However crowded etc, I manage to get on n off with little effort and am often amazed by solo wheel chair passengers who manage to get on and off, in and out of, MTR trains/stations unaided!

Ah, your post makes me yearn for SHG! Kind taxi drivers (didn’t stay long enough to discover the other sort).

U’ve stopped “twittering” nowadays?

But the 52 things have to be things that I have not done for a long time. Not for the 1st time!

Anyway I am severely behind schedule :(

Comment on White fluffy view by .pei

I used to lament that we don’t have beautiful skies. Then I realised that I don’t look up as much.

You can write into diaryland to revive your account. I got them to do that a few years ago.

Lucy, you are perhaps the only person on earth who thinks I have a good memory! Yay!
