kingfisher & broccoli milo

in e morning e cat made instant cream of broccoli soup in its KE7 98/99 Altius drinking mug.

on e way out to buy lunch, it met Gaurav at e bus stop (second time?).

on e walk back from buying lunch, it spotted a white-throated kingfisher (Halcyon smyrnensis aka. Pekaka Belukar) perched on a an electricity wire along e KTM Malaysian railway tracks, busy looking out for its own lunch. delighted cat =) as delighted as e time when it spotted a common sun skink (Mabuya multifasciata) on e pavement while walking out to Buona Vista MRT at night =) e cat misses e kingfishers that used to hang out on e green railings along e canal running all e way from Mountbatten Road to e flyover over Nicoll Highway near Suntec City, before e whole stretch got torn up for construction of e MRT line.

in e late afternoon before e lab meeting, e cat emptied a packet of instant 3-in-1 milo into its drinking mug & filled it with hot water. & then realised that it had forgotten to wash e mug. which explained e (a lot of) bits of green floating to e surface....broccoli milo tastes a wee bit salty.
