The 'taohua' tree












It's not everyday that we get to see ourselves in a full length mirror








XueYing, Ang/army guy, Althea, myself.






















Think it's one of the nicest pictures in my album so far. Sat down (ate Starbursts) for a rest by the river after a long while of walking. How often or rather would we even do that in Singapore?
