[ 09.02.2015 ] Unless totally necessary, Mom insisted on walking on her own. In the 30+ years that she had lived in this block, she must have walked along this common corridor a few thousands times. Her best friends are here, so are the places she found most familiar. When they upgraded her block with lift right at her doorsteps, Mom would sometimes get off at the sixth floor so she could see her friends. On this day, she was on the way to her second radiation therapy session.

Panoramic Singapore – The Redux Edition
On a moody afternoon, I rewrote the introduction to my first monograph, Panoramic Singapore. (more…)
Years of working in Singapore meant that when it was finally time for him to tie the knot in 2011, Salim could afford to present Jorna with a house designed by his brother Shamin, whose university education had been financed by Salim. He could even indulge in some luxuries, such as a bridal bed filled with roses, decorated by his good friend Rajo. After the wedding, Salim preferred Jorna to stay at his home and help care for his elderly parents in his absence. However, he also understands when she goes back for longer visits with her parents, who live about 30 minutes away on foot.
