I am feeling restful. I am feeling, relaxed. I am thinking, I could really just live long-ish term, in a hotel, especially when the interiors of the room I am given, color-coordiantes with my wardrobe!

No cleaning, no dealing with neighbors, repair works, and speaking to 100 people on the phone.
 |
| The 100th person... |
There is even proper temperature control, internet services that work within my room, and not just one pair of sash windows, but three. Oh, and a bathroom bathed in natural light.

It's Bank Holiday, and if I avoid Exhibition Road, I don't even have to walk into a tourist!
 |
| No tourists in sight! |

On the very same day in Singapore, my Baby Cousin got dolled up and married.
 |
| Beautiful Baby Cousin Bride & Groom with Popo |
When she invited me, she told me it would be a low-key, intimate affair. I'm only inviting XYZ, she said. How I wish I could have been there on such a special day.
I looked at my brother's photographs and my heart swells for my Baby Cousin. I looked at Popo and my heart swells larger. I can feel it in my throat.
Popo is pushing 100. Her mind is like a tide, receding. But here she is, ever glorious, with bubbly in hand. I know she is happy and lucid today.
Bliss.
