Long time no see this Melvin, haven't go out with him in donkey's months. The last time I went out with him my wrinkles haven't taken up resident on my face yet. Pick him up at his work place in Shenton way and we're off for lunch.

We had bak ku teh (pork rib tea soup) in Tanjong pagar complex. This is a classic Singaporean treat! As I sipped the broth and spooned it over my rice, my bowl of bak ku teh was topped off with more hot, peppery broth. Damn good services and Melvin nodded his approval.

(Behind his smile, there wrinkles)

As I study Melvin just below his eyes, fine lines was everywhere and his arms had pigmentation spot. Goodness me, he is in even worst conditions than I am.

We're are getting old!
This is end of the world!

After lunch, went to Shaw centre to collect my lap backpack and proceed to Far East Plaza. We shopped there while waiting for Bear to join us. When Bear finally arrived, it's like “X-Men United"

(Lady in pink likes to pose, apparently)



After some small talk, we the 3 Amigos mingled with the crowds devoted our time to "look see, look see" activity in Far East Plaza.

(Bear likes shopping)

(Melvin likes it better)

You know, the clothes there is very trendy but it's not suitable for the 3 middle age amigos. Meant for teenagers so you guess it, no buy.

As we were walking and intended to cross over the DFS Galleria, I spotted my Brother, his wife and my nephew. Very surprised to bump into them and situation like this, of course I dragged my nephew along for mini tour in Orchard. He, too wanted very much wanted to spend some time with me. I am his fave Uncle.

So 3 amigos movie has been rename to 3 men and a child.

No need to write too much as pictures tell a thousand stories, right?

(Nephew laughing at Bear for unknown reason)

(Nephew is well escorted)

(Bear & my nephew became best friend)

(Bear teaching nephew trick)

(2 bodyguards)


(Adult had much fun as kid do)

Personally, I found out that bringing a kid along was quite fun. Have I been any different today from my usual self? Of course! With my nephew around, my eyes constantly fix on him instead of some chick's boob.

My behavior tend to alter when with kid. I am better discipline, more civilize.


(My sixth sense tells me, Melvin likes to be film)



Clearly, the star of the day was NOT the 3 Amigos but my nephew!
