Ling took a cue from Ann the other day and blogged about her learning how to drive and also a bunch of driving tips too. So here’s my turn on it. I haven’t done too much checking around, but I’m

Bystanders
I was driving home along Hougang avenue 7 one day and this little commotion on the road divider caught my attention as I was waiting at a traffic light junction. It was a cluster of mynahs (members of the starling family)
Driving

Fund-raising Anniversary Concert
Last night’s anniversary celebration was a success – with the host of VIPs, ex-principals, alumni, current students, ex-teachers and current teachers all attending the occasion. I’m glad that we finally pulled it through after months of preparation and rehearsals. The choir
Army and Women

Killer hornets
Ling has been rewatching the Planet Earth blu-ray set I bought her for Valentine’s Day several months ago. The series is still amazing even though this is repeated viewing. Thing is, the natural world isn’t all so hunky dory sunshine
