#The Jewel

[speedilydeepruins]

Finally I was able to visit the HSBC rain vortex at the Jewel in the Changi Airport. Always wanted to see this marvel. There were a few people there too.

Hi all, here is a picture taken at the cultural center in Hong Kong. What are you reading this weekend? I'm reading The Way of Kings and listening to Twilight Territory. Twilight Territory is an interesting story set in the World War II and Cold War eras in Vietnam.

Changi Jewel under the 40 degree heat of Singapore's summer weather this Good Friday...a day that's worth checking Romans 5:8 on.

"It would be easier to forget you," he says to me, "and these past few weeks we've had together. It would be easier if I could hate you. But the sad truth is, I will more than likely love you for the rest of my life."

Know before you go to Singapore City

Singapore is a densely packed city with so much to offer. You can find one of Asia’s most popular destinations just off the Southern Coast of Malaysia. Many tourists stop off here on the way to Indonesia, having a little city break before relaxing by the beach. With so much to offer to make the most of your time there’s a few things it’s important to know before you go to Singapore. No matter how…

Hi everyone, how is your Saturday morning going? I got up at 9 am and I've been reading, stretching, and giving myself a facial treatment over the past two hours. Now I plan to do my workout and maybe start cleaning the flat.

😸

What are you reading this weekend? I'm focusing on two books. I'm reading my paperback version of The Edge of Everything and I'm also listening to To Sleep in a Sea of Stars.

Magnificent gold and enamel plique-à-jour pendant/brooch designed as a “Morning Glory”. It was once part of the collection of Ada Rehan, a popular actress of the late 19th century who starred in several Shakespearean plays.

Work signed Marcus & Co around 1900. Via The Newark Museum of Art collection

Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

With Chrysina limbata around, you won’t need a mirror! This species has an especially shiny exoskeleton, reflecting up to 97% of the light that hits it. In the wild, the mirror-like reflective surface may fool potential predators into thinking the beetle is just a drop of water- effectively serving as conspicuous camouflage.

If you like what I do, consider leaving a tip or buying me a ko-fi!

The corporal looks over his shoulder at the corkboard and the big photograph on it. “That is… a property associated with it…” He looks back at Nanuk “Both Suave and Stickmin are connected to the anomaly in a similar way. Our most pressing issue now is what’s left of Stickmin after his altercation with the Walls’ warden and the fall of the Wall itself”

Everyone in the room is looking at the askers now. Presumably waiting to see the gem they found.

The jewel is in Ezols possession. Unless Ezol is present no one, not even Author, has access to this dangerous, potentially weaponizable anomaly.

It is safely kept.
