A Leisure Afternoon with my Ex-colleague





It was an impromptu appointment I have fixed with Janice to meet her at Novena Square. After going to Cold Storage to pick up some stuffs & snacks for James, we took a leisure walk to Newton Kindergarten to wait for him to be released from class.
Half an hour passed and Janice has to walk toward the place where teachers will only allow students to be accompanied by familiar people to leave the kindergarten together. That was the same routine & guideline my two children's teachers had to abide when they were once studying at St James' Kindergarten.
Janice waited for the traffic to ease a little before going to pick up her car at the basement to drive us back to her home at Bishan.
We continued with our chit chatting the whole afternoon over our cups of coffee in her house. James was such a nice little guy, leaving us alone to catch up with so many things. He would go play with his dog and his games.
Before leaving the house, I stood at her patio and noticed how badly her garden has been neglected. I would very much like to grow a box of creeping daisy, various colours of bouganvilleas. let the cypress vine climb on the divider wall railing. Janice likes gardening but does not have much idea of what she wanted to do with it. It's partly because she is also lack of time to manage her garden because her maid has left and she has yet to find herself a helper.



Look at James's trademark smile, his dimples.
