Hey, Randy,
Thanks for coming over to Singapore for a visit. We visited friends too... Randy had to run to my car on a busy road junction because I stopped in the middle of heavy traffic... 🙂. And the Hokkien Mee and Chai Tow Kway we had for lunch were delicious. We knew each other about a 100 years ago...
Here is the handsome young man with one of the best guitar groups in Asia 60s: THE STYLERS. "Geylang si-paku Geylang..."

Sat on their park bench like bookends
A newspaper blown through the grass
Falls on the round toes
Of the high shoes of the old friends..."
