It's Friday

Beautiful Friday evening sky appearing before me just as I was walking towards the swimming complex. I paused and stared at the sky for a while, just soaking in the wondrous phenomenon that is one of everyday's beauties.

Before Easter

Before Easter Sunday, it was wholesome Saturday. A run in the morning, trees gazing, reading a magazine, brunch at a bakery with Adrian, Kel & Ruth, hatching plans for a short getaway, bike shopping, enjoying 饺子 (dumplings) in the late afternoon, and watching a good foreign film at night.

Happy Easter!

Good Friday

Good Friday: Tea with the soon-to-wed Jon and SM.

SM is pondering her next career move, to which I told her to quit and be a Tai-Tai.

Ever the sharp-tongued woman that she is, she flashed her infamous smirk and shot back almost instantly while pointing at the blameless Jon: 'DO YOU THINK MY HUSBAND IS EARNING ENOUGH?'

It's always nice to meet both of them. In between serious discussions of political news and gossips about other common friends and acquaintances, there is no lack of sharp-witted bantering and friendly exchange of sarcastic observations.

I didn't offer this, but would have liked to say this in response to her rhetorical question: 'Yes, he may not be earning huge sum, but I have no doubt you can still be a Tai-Tai and be supported if you so decide to be one.'

And add a smirk to that statement, too.

Awake. Chase. Pause.

Awakening - beneath the sunlit sky from the east



Chasing - keeping to the madman pace



Pausing - looking skywards past the parallels

27 days later, he's grown a little chubbier, but still a sleepyhead, albeit a handsome one :)
