The truth revealed Then hidden, Like a frightened kitten Peering beyond a wall. Not quite sure if 'twas Right or wrong, Perhaps silence was The better option. The word not spoken From birth till death, It touches nothing, And everything.
It’s no use crying over spilled milk
I don't know why but this thought suddenly came to me: the next time a toddler or anyone who's small and/or light enough for you to carry (preferably one you know) starts to cry, quickly go grab some milk and pour it on the floor; then grab that toddler/insanely light person up and carry him...

Our Punngol Topaz Flat
I just realised I hadn't written about Lix and I getting our flat -- @ Punggol Topaz! I'm absolutely excited at the prospect of oving in -- even though it's still about four years away from being built and the keys being handed over to us o_O.

The HDB Lottery
After about six tries, Lix (i.e. the fiancee, who doesn't want to be called "my fiancee" any more... she'll be called "Lx" from now on!) and I finally managed to get a very credible HDB ballot position.
