One of many reasons why I enjoy morning walks
There is another cat, I called them “cow” because they have black-and-white coat. Cow was nowhere to be seen (then again, Cow usually appears in the afternoons/evenings.)

Saturday morning walk: Tasik Permaisuri Park
Someone brought one big sack of bread and he shared it with other park goers to feed the fishes.

Penne pasta with tuna and grilled veggies
At this point, it might be known that I really really like pumpkin. We had rice for dinner yesterday, and the day before, and I got so tired after a Zoom hangout with my colleagues (today is a full-meetings day.) I tried to come up with some quick and easy recipe, and as tempting as…

“Time Traveling” — Anthony Lazaro and Sarah Kang
My two favorite humans. This song was made during the height of the pandemic — telling a story of long-distance lovers. ‘Cause when you have your morning coffee I’m turning out the lights so I could dream And when you smile through the screen I wish you could be here with me
