It never felt so good to feel hungry

After no food for the morning and most of the afternoon, it is great to feel hungry for food in the late afternoon. I know I am on the road to recovery. Dull headache is a small bother after the stomach cramps. I went to the Kuan Yin temple to pray and thanks Kuan Yin for the recovery. Durians are in season. Bugis street is full of durians, mangoes and mangosteens. I love fruits and bought some R2E2 mangoes.
The rice dumplings season is on and there are many makeshift stalls selling Bak Chang. The price is now an incredible $2.50 each. Inflation and seasonal price is making Bak Chang now a delicacy!
Borders is having a 3 for 2 sales for children books. We brought B3, our youngest boy to buy the books he likes. It is good to encourages our kids to read. Borders is really getting their act together and is giving Kino a run for their money. I am frequently Borders more and more importantly buying more books from Borders instead of Kino.

Wait till the season is over. It will be back to the old price. No point paying extra for the right time(dumpling season). It is a ripoff...
