I like this cap when I first tried it.
The material which I assumed was linen.
It is lighter than most caps and fits my head.
After I purchased, then saw that the material is flax, which is a natural, highly durable textile fiber from the flax plant. This is usually woven into linen, exceptionally strong and highly breathable.

Though this is milk ice, the combination of pineapple, jasmine tea, lemon rind makes it summer perfect.
Now they have a lot of milk ice varieties. I’ll be here for some time.

Bedok Reservoir - Tampines Library
Once again, confirmed I’m more into structures than only open spaces.
I was wowed by Tampines Library.
I’ve been to The Tampines Hub several times since it opened.
Never knew there is a 6 storey library which opened in 2017 with focus on cookery.
I especially like level 3 the children’s area.
And there is actually some shelves with large print books👍🏻

I’ve yet to watch 《給阿嬷的情书》，but I guessed as much the production team went to a 百年侨乡in 广东汕头澄海东里镇to view the 侨批 and get inputs for the movie.
Supposedly there are a lot of visitors now.
We got to visit this ancient home privately when we were in 汕头end of 2024.

Since I have visited poetic Lake District, here's an extract from William Woodworth's "Composed Upon Westminister Bridge".

~ This City now doth, like a garment, wear
The beauty of the morning: silent, bare,
Ships, towers, domes, theatres, and temples lie
Open unto the fields, and to the sky; ~

Much prefer the area view including Tampines Boulevard Park over Ecogreen.
Interesting balconies and 4 storey HDB buildings.
