Thanks to Sharlene for this mention of my book #singaporedisrupted (available on kindle btw) among Singapore's @five_books.
I loved her novel Ponti. (In fact the Ponti-designed tote bag holds my iPad and water bottle and goes with me to hawker centre and cafe jaunts...)

[Five Books - Expert Book Recommendations @five_books]

NEW interview: Novelist Sharlene Teo recommends five books to get a feel for the city-state of Singapore, her homeland—including @bubblevicious, @naraitai, @muihoong and others. (We also recommend reading Teo's novel, Ponti.)

Weather ⛈ : Thundery showers over many areas in the afternoon.

I remember the times we spent enjoying each other's company, just the two of us. Sometimes I feel your touch, and then I look up and realise you aren't there. 😢

Please come back. I miss you.. my 22 deg C breeze.
