Lovely Tote Bags, I Luv you!!!!!

Couldn't resist these these lovely Japanese Tote Bags from Feis Japan @ Bugis Junction. 

So I bought 3 at $24 each after 50% discount. Father said the discount is bull-shit.

It's worth it because the workmanship is so gooooood! and each of the bags has got a  side pocket.

The one with a ribbon was for Janet. She would luv it....

Alyssa: "Will Uncle Richard say we are Japan Siow?"

CHJIMES, formerly Convent of the Holy Infant Jesus (CHIJ Victoria St). I'd been inside once on World Red Cross Day when I was in Primary School. Besides being a convent, it was also a girls'school (primary and secondary). According to older folks, some poor who couldn't afford to keep their infant daughters either due to social-economic reasons or superstitions would leave their children at the door step of the Convent. The girls would be brought up by the Catholic nuns in the convent.

Sometime in the nineties, the school was moved out and the building now houses eateries, shops and bars. Is has become a tourist attraction.

Love Bites from Sand Flies

Joined Richard for a jog at Changi coast. Got s few love bites from Sand Flies. The affected areas became more swollen and itchy after a day. And I'm still scratching away.
