SINGAPORE Day 5

Today Ruby and Kai went to visit Uncle in hospital whilst Warrick and I went for an exhibition of artworks for fantasy and sci-fi books.
We all had breakfast together, then Ruby and Kai took a bus to the hospital. They found that they were travelling in the wrong direction and by the time they realised, they were on the expressway to the central business district. They couldn't quickly alight and change buses. To top it all, it rained and neither had an umbrella. It took them nearly 1½hrs to get to the hospital. We thought they were catching a bus to Malaysia.

The exhibition Warrick and I attended was a display of one man's collection of artworks and figurines since he was 12 years old.  The collection of books he had were from 1940s till today. The collector said that all he did back in the day was write to the authors of the sci-fi and fantasy books and asked for the artworks and he was always given the originals and if he had to pay, it was a nominal sum of money. He also collected an array of gaming cards that were worth a fortune today.

While at the exhibition, my niece called to tell me she had another papaya crisis. This time she bought a papaya with fruit fly in it. So after the exhibition she brought the papaya over and I helped her cut the papaya and managed to save ⅔ of it. I went with Kai and Ruby for a bout of shopping at Suntec City while Warrick had a rest. We finished the evening at Old Kallang Airport Road Hawker Centre.
