Halloween (31 Oct)

Today, many western countries will celebrate Halloween. Although Singapore is a little modern country and we follow many western trends, the celebration of Halloween hardly takes off.

I have been on leave for the past 2 weeks and today is the last day of my vacation leave. This means from next week onwards, I have to report to work faithfully.

After sending Isa to school in the early morning, I took the chance to have a a breakfast in the coffee-shop in my neighbourhood. It always amazes me that there are so many people having their breakfast outside. And the variety of breakfast is vast. Besides the usual tea/coffee with toast bread, cakes, puffs or sandwiches. Some even eat nasi lemak, noodles, laksa, mee goreng etc. The portion of food is just like that for lunch. I wonder if they are having their breakfast or lunch, or simply brunch.

I know we need to have some food for breakfast. But having so much of food for breakfast is simply beyond the ability of my stomach. Perhaps my stomach is still sleeping.

After my simple breakfast, I walked around my neighbourhood. The feeling was relaxed. The sun was not shinning brightly. I went to the fittness corner to do some exercises. I am unsure if you are aware that there are some simple exercise equipment installed in each neighbourhood. Usually the ones who use them would be old folks and housewives. These equipment were built using tax-payers' money but I hardly use them. What a waste!

Back to Halloween, how shall I celebrate it? Maybe a pumpkin soup for dinner!
