Walking from Ghim Moh hawker centre to block 18, I heard an old lady saying 'hello'.
Turning to my right, I realised she was not calling out to me. She was bent low to pavement and talking to a toad. Late 60s perhaps with a shopping trolley in one hand. She seemed to be trying to chase the toad off the pavement, onto the grass nearby. The toad hopped along, kind of obliging grudgingly. When the old lady looked up, we exchanged knowing smiles.
Few princesses would kiss a toad in real life.
As I carried on, I spotted a cat chilling out closeby, watching the pair, but seemingly without any interest as it was yawning.
