aiyoh

looks like really bad news, of the rug moth variety, if google AI is correct.

in other news, HOM successfully upgrades us to a spanking new router. he is planning to tackle the switch next. i am equal parts delicious anticipation and awful dread.

day's end

segue-ing back to home and work and the tropics and enjoying the evening glow-up.

chasing the money

owing to insurmountable logistics for an upcoming trip, HOM and i venture to exchange some currency today in the vicinity of change alley. here we discover to our great surprise, that:

• money changing as a trade is alive and kicking up a rumpus
• half of singapore must be going on vacation soon and in need of foreign currency
• the chinese yuan is out of stock at many places (big surprise, for a seamlessly cashless society)

what i say is, cash still has some life yet.

wrapped 'n' tied

errands run. shopping bought. food eaten. trip over.

glad and grateful.

weather change

the temperature drops almost 10 degrees today. 

we spend a lovely morning at the park ogling the other retirees and planning lunch.

what we are doing, HOM and i tell each other, is we are making precious memories.

fat-laden stupor

good peking cuisine followed by good chocolate ice cream. i'm about ready to sleep till tomorrow.

demography

2 certain markers of the presence of fellow countrymen:

1. the conversation overheard at breakfast veers towards health. today's topic is chia seeds: benefits, how to take, issues therewith

2. the laundry room experiences a surge in activity at all hours
