Happy New Year to all. Not a very happy new year here in Singapore. Our GST goes up another 1% to 9%. That means everything you spend on, the government takes away 9%. Still I have to eat. Looking for lunch along the way to the inlaws. Saw the fish soup stall was opened and decided to stopped at the food centre at Lorong 5 Toa Payoh.祝大家新年快乐。新加坡的新年不太开心。我们的消费税又上涨了 1% 到 9%。这意味着你花在每样东西上的费用，政府都会拿走 9%。但我还是得吃饭。在去岳父岳母家的路上，我在寻找午餐。看到鱼汤摊开门了，就决定在大巴窑5巷的熟食中心停下来。

Was going to the club for pickleball on Friday morning for the second time. At the junction, I saw a group of cyclist.周五早上第二次去俱乐部打匹克球。在路口，我看到一群骑自行车的人。Took some pictures.拍了一些照片。 Quite a number of them but don't know if there are more than 10. Cyclists must ride in groups no larger than five bicycles in length, which is roughly the length of a bus. This means cycling groups on roads are capped at five riders in single file, or ten if cycling two abreast. So if there were more than 10, then it is against the regulation.有不少人。不知道是不是超过 10 张但道骑自行车的人必须保持不超过五辆自行车的骑行队，这大约相当于一辆公交车的长度。定意味着道路上的骑行队人数上限为单列五人，如果两人并排骑行，则上限为十人。 I went for first Friday morning pickleball session few weeks ago and played a while after drying the courts after the rain. Then went back to work.几周前，我第一次参加了周五早上的匹克球局，在雨后把球场擦干后打了一会儿。然后回去工作了。 Wanted to go the following week but skipped as had a bit of diarhea.本来想下周去，但因为有点腹泻而放弃了。 <img src="
