I met Deon on the bus on the way to lunch at Essential Brew, Holland Village, where we were joined by Sean, Yew Jin and Javier, in celebration of Deon's 19th birthday. It was a wonderful time of catching up, but I had to leave earlier and make my way to Swissotel, The Stamford, for the Foreign Service Scholarship Tea Session, where I met Stuart, Sarah, Willy and some others I know. The rest of the evening was spent shopping and dining in Raffles City. The second day back to my life has been pleasant, as has the first. Tomorrow, the 3rd, should be equally so.
