familiarity

while waiting for bus, a familiar fragrance drifts by......... think it's ju li xiang, n a big bush of it! bigger than I c in any private gardens in SG!

Icy prob

while I'm enjoying the summer weather while I can, the freezer in apartment fridge keeps giving me prob...... it's the smallest kind of fridge where freezer is juz a small open box at one corner. Ice has been accumulating around the freezer dat it occupies lots of space n fridge door can't close properly.

finally gave up hacking the ice every now n then, I brought my food to office fridge so I can switch off the fridge. after 8+hours, the ice blocks still remain but thankfully can be removed more easily..........

good grief! think I gotta do tis every few mths!
