6.6.2025 Friday - Lighthouse Library

 

A quiet day - everyone is busy with their work; heads down, one can almost hear pencils scratching paper. Freddie rushing off to attend a meeting halfway through a meeting, L wanting to confirm a meeting before hearing back from PH. These do not bother me, they are signs of people wanting to do a good job - by at least turning up for the meeting in Freddie's case, and L wanting to tick off a job item (and cease the client's concerns). And to make the effort to do their best. 

Our dinner - Korean rice balls wrapped in seaweed

Sia's dinner

I finally finish reading Peter Fitzsimon's Sydney Opera House, 2 years after we bought it at the Sydney Botanic Gardens. 

I had no idea...

1.6.2025 Sunday - 4th pikabol session

Early start to the day, with pickleball practice with the PAMSC people (who would have thought!) which ended with a nice breakfast with Sam and Pik Shia. A compliment from her boss (and business partner) - that I am doing the right thing for the fraternity with the establishment of the website.

Compliments like these are the best, because they come from people who have little relation with us, little to gain from praising us.

 

31.5.2025 Saturday - LekHeng gets married

Fiona takes this photo of me on the chancel (or sanctuary) during LH's wedding. Making the most out of the morning, I decide to try out the telephoto to take photos of people unawares during the ceremony.
