Do you remember

Got a missed call earlier today from an unfamiliar number. So I called back. Conversation went something like that:

Me: Hi, I had a missed call from this number?
Caller: Yes. Michelle?
Me: Yes, who's this please?
Caller: This is Richard.
Me: Richard Heng?
Caller: Yes.
Me: Hi Richard.
Caller: I just want to thank you. Do you remember years ago, you found my Sony Ericsson phone and returned it to the police station at AH?
Me: ??? (this is obviously NOT the Richard Heng I know)
Caller: This was in 2006 remember?
Me: Erm... ya. I think so.
Caller: Are you a mother?
Me: Yes..
Caller: I wanted to wish you a Happy Mother's Day. Sorry it came a bit late.
Me: Oh... erm okay... Thanks! Thanks for calling. Very sweet of you...

Anyway, the puzzling teleconversation went on for a couple more minutes talking about inconsequential things..

I vaguely remembered this incident but it was just really strange that he's calling me now.. After like.. what? Five years?

But one thing that really struck me when I heard his voice over the phone was that he sounded somewhat.. sad.

The skeptic in me was reacting to how bizarre this call was. But the other side makes me want to call him back and find out if he is ok..

P.S: Sorry for the mindless post. Just had to verbalize it.
Sentosa Island

Had a work appointment at Sentosa yesterday. So i had the fortunate opportunity to visit our entertaining island on a weekday when most folks were in their concrete jungles. Took the boardwalk from VivoCity to the Visitors Centre at Sentosa and though the weather was pretty hot, most parts of the walk was very well-shaded.

Heading to Sentosa via the boardwalk

or rather using the travellator that was in the shelter

I can see the RWS fairly clearly from the boardwalk

The Crane Dance in daylight

Love how they adorn the typically unsightly rubbish bins with dainty plants

Haven't quite found out what the deal is with cranes and Sentosa but love these origami ones made from recycled tear sheets that were dangling off the ceilings of the boardwalk.

Nothing beats a nice, cold, coconut sorbet in the middle of a hot, sunny day.

Heading back to VivoCity with a smile :)

P.S: Look out for the Sentosa TVC and print ads that targets the mid-year school break ;)
