Saw 6 small monkeys loitering at a bus stop along Mandai Rd.
Am surprised to see them under such hot weather. -
There’s a small forest behind our house. In recent years there has been a lot of deforestation to make way for light factories. We have seen monkeys and squirrels being forced out of their habitats and running around in our housing area. The monkeys eat human garbage and the squirrels dash across roads.
I think one day the human race will have to pay the price. -
Anybody does grocery shopping at CS in Rail Mall?
There are usually 2 senior ladies serving the roast meat counter: one plump with glass and the other lesser plump and w/o glasses. The latter is polite, helpful and friendly. The former is rather interesting to deal with.
After work, I went to see to pick up any roast chicken on offer. When I saw the plump lady manning the counter, my heart sank.
As usual, I asked her to cut the chicken into 4 parts to be packed into 2 bags. Dh and I can only finish a bag for our dinner. We save the other bag of meat for tmr.
The ad states Signature BBQ chicken at $4.90. There were 3 trays and I assumed all the same flavour. She asked which flavour do I want. I was puzzled as there was no mention of honey-glazed or pepper. So I said isn’t all the same flavour.
The most remarkable part was she replied: you don’t know English? All are bbq chicken. Unprepared by such response, I humbly admitted that I didn’t study much and hence couldn’t understand …
She unwillingly started cutting the poor little chicken for me.
I was smiling to myself by such encounter while walking home.
Once home and I opened the 2 bags, I saw 5 parts of the chicken.
Indeed she is more knowledgeable than me; I asked for 4 parts but she gave me 5. Now I may hv to seek her expertise how to divide this chicken btn 2 persons over 2 meals! -

During a hot morning at Sembawang Golf Course, I saw monkeys at the roadside and cars hv to proceed carefully. Luckily I was in a car as I don’t want to have a face to face encounter with a bunch of monkeysThere's a small forest behind our house.

Come to think of it, I don’t wear high class clothes but am properly covered. I don’t look pretty but I take shower at least once a day. I don’t carry a branded handbag and my wallet has little cash but I hv means to buy many things.
There are indeed people who look down on some. It is fine as I don’t need to answer to those who look down on me. -
SL, do you put on make up?

SL, do you put on make up?
Nothing on my face
This is also another reason why I am shy to attend official functions with dh. -

Ah, SL, don’t bother what ppl eyes see. Just be yourself & you know you’re valuable to your loved ones.
I don’t buy branded clothes to don neither carry branded bags. I do admit when in my twenties, youthful & vain days, I had a couple of branded bags & shoes during periods when I was going up the corporate ladders, no more now. I don’t like events or functions not coz I feel unable to bring myself to doll up, but coz my psyche says most of these are pretentious events. Occasionally I do put on makeup for wedding dinners & celebratory occasions/functions but only if I find meaning in them. In fact I’m considered very lazy, most ones I prefer to hold my hp with cards & bare minimum cash to get by. But I do wear decent, non-branded, clothes to keep a reasonably updated look & not frumpy dressing. But others may not like my dressing. Que Sera Sera. Doesn’t affect me.
If anyone see me no up, doesn’t bother me coz I consider these as insincere & fair weather acquaintances. They can’t run my self-esteem down.
I stay away fr mingling in clubs but will visit with those handful of very close & down-to-earth friends when our families gather. These friends go with me to salons with skillful hairdressers that don’t charge more than $30 haircuts. We’ve stopped going for spa or facials together monthly since pass our 60s, except for one frd. I suppose she still feels the need. As for me, I’m content to maintain as who I am w/o external cosmetics. -
You are in your 60s ?! Did I read correctly ?
