Eleven years ago we faced the devastating stillborn arrival of Toby Jack (TJ). Robyn and I visited his burial spot today with the anticipation of seeing him on the other side of this life. Looking back I am still so grateful for the support of people from all over the world who journeyed with us in this first taste of parenting. Each of you holds a special place in our lives.

Is dine and dash a crime?

theft is theft, why go pigout when you have no intention of paying. Someone has to pay for your callous action. Almost 40 years ago, I was waitressing to help pay my university fees. An idiot came and ate and dashed. The bill was not much, but I got a ear full the rest of the evening. The boss said, next time it happens, we dock your pay.

Dine and dash no crime

Police are refusing to prosecute diners who run off without paying for meals.

Annalize Chiew Would you have tried to stop him if you could, and probably injure yourself?

Disposable potato plates

Zero-waste Strategy Management: Here's the Volunteers at work. Dressed in our official crew kowhai/yellow or kikorangi/blue T-shirt and cow boy hat, we trudged our kikorangi/blue and kakariki/green bins to our different stations. By chance, I got involved in Ngarimu's Zero waste program. Ngarimu also sourced cutlery and plates made of potatoes which is 10-0% biodegradable.

Sometimes, it is inevitable that we have to use disposable cutlery and crockery. The convenience outweighs the tedious job of washing up like a big picnic or party.

I am very proud to be associated with Ngarimu and his Ngati Whatua Maori people in leading the zero waste movement in New Zealand. During our Waitangi Day, Ngarimu led a whole army of volunteers to teach tens of thousands of festival goers recycling.

To walk the talk, Ngarimu supplied cutlery and crockery made of potato. These special disposable forks, spoons, knives and plates went to the worms at the worm farms on the Marea.

These food fed the army of workers and volunteers. The yummy food came in big containers at lunch time. Ka Pai aka good job. No need for too much washing up and harmful detergent.

Can you see the beige colour forks, knives and plates?

Red: ABC Letter F for Funnel

A funnel is the smokestack or chimney on a ship used to expel boiler steam and smoke or engine exhaust. They are also commonly referred to as stacks.
When I was young, my dad used to drive us in his Fiat to the little playground in Sibu near to the temple. We felt very proud that ocean going ship could come to Sibu as we were 90 miles from the sea.

Dad proceeded to tell us he went to London in a P & O line when I was 20 months old.

how I wish to be a child again. New York, New York Kovan

August
3rd ~ Oooooo

 On the second last day of my holidays in Singapore, My friend and ex neighbour E in NTU took me to a Paranakan Restaurant and then to this place New York, New York for coffee. In case, there are many branches, this was at Kovan.

 I looked at this machine and had a pang of nostalgia. When I was little, my aunt had a shop with a machine like this. It never failed to amaze me how, one table spoon of sugar can be spun to a big ball of candy floss.

 The waiter Eric Toh was very attentive and kindly offered to make one for me.

 For free. Pssst!

 Thanks Eric.Your boss should be very happy with your PR work.  To my friend Meg in Canada, Sorry you missed out on this. I was looking high and low for you.
