My foot continues to improve, I think. Still will need dressings for a while yet, tho. Caught it in time, I hope.

Yesterday I did little or nothing until the early afternoon, when I went with C.B. and HWMBO to the house of their classmate, G, where we had lunch at about 2 pm. It consisted of traditional dumplings (wrapped in leaves). Once unwrapped, they were doughy and various bits of meat and prawn inside. Very nice. We watched TV for a while, and then some Will & Grace episodes. Of course, the three of them were conversing in Chinese so I had to content myself with the TV.

Once we were about to go, I stood up and had the most severe positional vertigo I’ve ever experienced. I nearly passed out. I had to hold on to HWMBO for fear of falling. Oddly enough, this may mean that my blood pressure is down enough to allow this to happen.

Off to the MRT Commonwealth station for the trip into the centre of the city for dinner. Life here revolves around the computer and meals, it seems. At 6 on the dot I met for dinner. We went to Suntec City and ate in a very traditional Chinese restaurant just called Soup Kitchen. We overordered (as Chinese often do at meals) and I still was kind of full from lunch. So I ate much less than I normally would (thanks, K!) but had a little of everything. Hainanese chicken rice, pork patty with water chestnuts, kai lan with Chinese herbs, bittergourd soup, braised tofu. It was quite nice. Afterwards we watched the fountain show at Suntec (which uses some sort of laser projector to show pictures and patterns on the backdrop of spray from the fountain: about 5 minutes but quite interesting) and then had a coffee. K was one of the first people I met other than HWMBO’s and my friends when I arrived here three trips ago. I really enjoy seeing him.

Home and to bed.
