put up a concert, as a gift – no money involved
A few months ago, I met a few talented young pianists at public pianos. Then, I saw that the National Library Board was offering a free-of-charge venue to stage a music performance.

Yesterday the wind came And pushed some trees over Humans – hairless apes, really - Pointed and stared
The next day
Deaconess Lian Suan recently shared in her sermon that she used to bemoan the fact that there were no mentor-figures in her life. (According to her definition, mentor-figures have to be of the same gender as the mentee). But then she realised that she did have one older female as her mentor – and then, the rest of her experience as a mentee was in a group setting, not one-to-one.
That got me wondering – have I really developed a sense of appreciation for the mentor-figures in my life?
I've always loved magazines. I grew up reading CHIP, and Tips And Tricks. One of my favourite childhood memories is visiting Kinokuniya in Ngee Ann City, and seeing a new issue of Tips And Tricks on the shelves.

I attempt a haiku as a response to each site that I have visited on this tiny island.
Flitting past humans Helmets glow and dance. No sun. Life beneath the waves
Endless screams and shrieks Long arms – furry – swing past trees Orange men with tails
Koh and Tan met each other when Koh was around fourteen years old. Tan's school-teachers had sent him to Koh's school to use the latter's workshops. Workshops to train him in professions: woodworking, metalworking, and so on.
One day, Tan asked Koh to play badminton together, and Koh agreed.
What does Koh like about Tan? “His torso and frame have a pleasing shape to the eye. He doesn't drink alcohol, and doesn't smoke cigarettes.”
