Korean grocery store

After my erhu exam on Sunday I wandered awhile along Bencoolen Street due to disorientation. Then saw the Korean grocery store I had seen a year ago after taking GRE. Back then it was an emotional moment, for I was a bit touchy about anything Korean (I remember I stared at a Hyundai for 5 min in the carpark next to the underpass to BV station). Now, it's strange that I didn't give it a second thought. Didn't ever occur to me to look for kimchee in Singapore. Didn't even go in for shower towel.

Yesterday, on HH's advice, bought dessert snacks for mum. Snacks was totally denounced by mum to be sweet and oily. But to my immense surprise and delight, mum later professed that she was in a foul mood for recent gastronomical problems and didn't like the thought of anything sweet. And asked for my understanding! Wow! It shows the power of silence (on my part). It is possible that mum sees reason if I hold my tongue for awhile. Or is it too much to hope for?
