The other day, GG, BB and I were grumbling about not having taken any holiday for almost 18 months now and with even the border between Singapore and Malaysia closed to tourists, we griped about how we could not even drive down there for a quick holiday.

That brought back memories of two of our trips to mainland Malaysia – one to Langkawi when the children were about nine years old and then to Penang when we did a quick trip during their PSLE marking holiday, so when they were around twelve years old. Both times, though we flew into the cities, we rented a car there and were able to go where we wanted to which was so easy for us. So I went back to my photos and revisited these places in the hope we go back soon. Enjoy them as much as I did.

The other day while looking for some photos to add to my screen saver, I saw some of these photos and had a serious case of wanderlust which at this point in time can’t be satiated. So I am trying to quench some of it with this post.

In end May, Singapore saw some nice paddle pop skies, both during sunrise and during sunset. I captured some of them for posterity and am sharing them here. All photos taken from my window.

Last month, just before the Dorscon level was raised to orange, we went down to catch the Chingay parade, a colourful street parade which is one of the largest street performance and float parade in Asia. Of course we had the Covid-19 at the back of our minds, but decided to take advantage of the tickets we managed to get to check this out. Some photos from during and after the event.
