Dark Clouds above the highest hotel in Singapore


This photo was just taken in the evening. It looked as if it was about to rain. Swissotel The Stamford stand at 741 ft used to be the highest hotel in the world. For the list of the tallest hotel in the world, look here.

Thanks to Tom for hosting Sky Watch, please see his website for other sky watchers.

Egg with two yolks


Do you find strange things like this? I break an egg and found two yolks in it. I wondered if it is safe to eat, so I google and found this information.

Quote:
Some hens will lay double-yolked eggs as the result of unsynchronized production cycles. Although heredity causes some hens to have a higher propensity to lay double-yolked eggs, these occur more frequently as occasional abnormalities in young hens beginning to lay. Usually a double-yolked egg will be longer and thinner than an ordinary single-yolk egg. Double-yolked eggs occur rarely, only leading to observed successful hatchings under human intervention, as the unborn chickens would otherwise fight each other and die.

Hobby and Interests

I am proud of these little crafts which I hope to share with all.
I would like to give this pearl ring to my eldest sister. But I wondered if she like it. :)

This is a necklace which I crochet out of wires and added some stone beads to them. I needed to find the matching colour claps to finish it off. I would like to keep this for myself. I think it is very lovely.
I saw this tutorial in asiafanatics, thanks to these people who are not selfish in sharing the patterns that I could make a beaded star. Thank you so much.

If you are interested in crafts, it is still not late to do one for your mom for mothers day. I know my late mom would love these.

A rose from son


WOW, I am so touched. My eldest son send me a picture via the email.
It was a red rose with a heart shaped made of sugar grains. He did this when he was with his friends idling the time away and playing with the sugar grains. No sugar were hurt or wasted in the process...hahaha.
Although it was just a picture, it was really the thoughts that count. Now I wondered who he gave the rose to and of course he licked the heart shaped sugar....lol.
Son, if you are reading my blog, thanks to you for brightening my day.
Now does this photo reminds us that Mothers Day is just round the corner.

Kayaking, Canoeing, Dragon Boating are very familar sights along Kallang River. My son's favourite is the kayak.
