Back Home

We got back to Singapore about an hour ago after yet another easy drive. We've had an extraordinary run of good luck in terms of straightforward journeys north (and south) for well over a year now, and long may it continue. Today's journey was broken for a stop-over at Melaka. Wedding business is afoot (for late May) and Noi seems to be playing something of a leading role in the arrangement. Some flowery bits & pieces she picked up in KL on Friday, while I was dozing at home, changed hands. This time the wedding will be a double-header for a younger brother & sister. It was hot and lazy in Melaka, much like KL really. Why does it always seem a lot hotter in Malaysia?

As usual, there was an abundance of children in Melaka. Mak's house seems designed to let them rove as freely as possible. They certainly keep popping up everywhere.
