Ipork will be leaving Singapore for Ilha Formosa in the coming week.
Porteguese sailors called this island Ilha Formosa, meaning 'Beautiful Island'.
And in the following week, I will be there, absorbing this spicily flavoured Chinese culture.
More than just a visit to an urban city, I hope for more traditional and aboriginal features to be introduced.
Famous for nightmarkets and the tallest building in the world, I'd expect friendly smiles and courteous sales counter girls.
A pity over zealous courtesy and kindness are not a common sight here in Singapore.
What could we expect?

Everyday Little Things
Jogging through the neighbourhood estate.
I came to realise many things have changed.
The trees have grown, the flowers have wiltered, the roadworks done, pair of students holding hands.
I really enjoy time spent doing things I like alone.
As I was waiting for Green Man to appear to cross the street, a pair of young boys and their mum came by.
The mum was teaching her little boy about the calendar.
She asked, how to say the nineth month?
The boy: September!
She asked, how about the tenth month?
Boy goes: October!
Lastly, she questioned the eleventh month.
Hesistantly, the boy pondered and did not come out with an answer...
I wanted to answer for him, it was:
I-DON'T-REMEM-BER!
