All Quiet

The streets are all quiet. The neighbourhood playground is quiet. The foodcourt is bright and is still open. On closer inspection, only the drink counter and the Indian food stall are open. 7-eleven is open and several foreign workers are there to make their purchases. It is an unusual Sunday evening. All quiet and deserted. It is as if there is a curfew.
This is power the New Year's Eve. 99.99% of all hawkers and food stalls are closed. All malls and shops are closed. Everyone is home having dinner with their families.
We had steamboat with home grown vegetables right from our own garden, fresh prawns, fish balls, meat balls, cuttlefish, sukiyaki beef and tofu. It is really good to spend time with family.
