Shenton way. Raffles place. Mundaneity is my middle name.
Crisp, ironed blouses, G2000 clothes in general, seeing those girls who work in foreign banks. And sometimes wonder if there are any stark differences between their situation and mine.
Queueing for lunch at Lau Pa Sat, looking out for friendly faces but I see none.

I don’t know why but from the time I was in Canada till now, I’m having this increased desire to buy things. It is a little surprising to me, seeing that I’m not stressed or anything which would potentially signal the need for retail therapy.
