another warm day in singapore

Life is strange in so many ways. One of the most striking is how the frailty and the vulnerability of life is exposed by the fact that we're reminded that it can be threatened in a flash, but then almost immediately we're assured that all's well with the world. Still reading that one again, are you? So much can be said but so much is best left unsaid. There in lies the lesson of life, there in the wisdom of knowing when to shut up.
Anyway, the Ashes are beginning to take their toll on the English, but they've put up a fightback on Day 1 of the Perth Test. So, they might be 2-0 down in the series, but at least they're beginning to show some pluck, and finally it feels like we might have a contest on our hands. But it is Australia they're playing, who probably have a sadistic streak in them somewhere. Each time, in recent memory, every time a team seems ready to overthrow their suppression, they find something in reserve, and crush any chance of a fightback. Just like they did in the Adelaide Test.
Well, that Australia's unique there is no doubt, but what's also unique is that Glenn (my colleague, and former Radio Mid Day Mumbai jockey) just discovered that guava's in Singapore can be seedless. What have you discovered today.
