Reminiscing the old times

My Goddess went back to her alma mater last Saturday. It has been a long time, years to be exact since she last stepped into the compound. A weird feeling overwhelmed her when she first came in. A feeling of homeliness. She was sure to be glad at home.

Outside her secondary 3 classroom

The place where she used to hang out during her 10 minutes break

And the scenic koi pond

After catching up with her long lost friends over lunch at Orchard, my Goddess came across this golden statue.

This reminded her those times where this was a common sight in New York, and especially at LA and San Fran, except that it's much better, so much more real back there. But glad that Singapore is slowly changing to a more vibrant and exciting place, where street buskers are spotted at every corner. Don't like the singing and the hula hooping act though.

Anyway, back to my life today. My Goddess came back hungry from work. So she dropped by Cold Storage to get some food to cook. Wanted to get some canned food. But she saw canned corn, canned tomatoes, canned peas and spinnach and canned soup. It was so much like the days when she was back in the States - just that they had more variety like chilli beans and flavoured rice. They also had more instant spaghetti, just as many as our instant noodles. So in the end, my Goddess got 1 of the 2 brands of instant cheese macroni and some luncheon meat. Didn't get the Spam brand though as it was more expensive.

Look how colourful the food turned out to be, it was pretty yummy too, except the cheese was a tad too salty.
