Storm clouds

Here''s how it looks like on the 18 floor. we had plenty of rain the past two weeks

Simei

Rotting fruits

We had to move to Simei so that I could be near my office. There are intersting fruit trees that you do not normally find in Singapore. When I saw so many Star Fruits rotting on the ground I thought that it was a waste not to eat them. I plucked a couple of fruits and tried them at home. There was a bland taste unlike the ones that you buy from the supermarkets. My guess is that our local soil is not suited for producing nice tasting Star Fruits.

Here comes the rain

We had rain the last couple of days thanks to Typhoon Fengshen that brought havoc to the Philippines.

Mango Trees

Mango trees in Hougang

The Mango trees are bearing fruit at this time of the year

The local Mangoes are green in colour unlike the ones fron the Philippines

The excavators came and cleared the vegetation. The Papaya trees and Jack Fruit all destroyed. I guess that's life

More rain today but I will rather it didn't rain as it was reported that Cyclone nargis had killed at least 15,000 people in Myanmar.
