With Dion, my nephew, in dinner.
Day by day, getting slimmer in slimmer with brisky walks at MRT & once swinging uncontrollably due to loose gripping for Blackberry phone bbm, hitting "gently" a grandpa's face on his glasses. Gee. Lucky me it was just dawn, and the grandpa hadn't completely snoozed from his sleep. Shame on me. A westerner guy even helped to grab my hand at the end of the swing.

Amazing idea of Westwood cafe--part of entreprenurship efforts, where students sell and serve, and also can relax there.
