A rose from son


WOW, I am so touched. My eldest son send me a picture via the email.
It was a red rose with a heart shaped made of sugar grains. He did this when he was with his friends idling the time away and playing with the sugar grains. No sugar were hurt or wasted in the process...hahaha.
Although it was just a picture, it was really the thoughts that count. Now I wondered who he gave the rose to and of course he licked the heart shaped sugar....lol.
Son, if you are reading my blog, thanks to you for brightening my day.
Now does this photo reminds us that Mothers Day is just round the corner.

Kallang River

This is Kallang River. How the name Kallang came about is very interesting.

The Biduanda Orang Kallang, a people group found in Java, constituted at least 50% of the 1000 residents found in Singapore at the time of Raffles' landing. They were a shy, primitive river people who were boat-dwellers, and had lived in the swamps at the mouth of the Kallang River, which thereafter took on their name. (Source: Infopedia )

Today the Kallang River has been cleaned up from a swampy river to a very beautiful and clean river. There are many private condominiums on the waterfront and they are very beautiful and of course expensive.
