My old flame

Over the December break, I found some old photos of my first car. SOLMATE was my dear little car during my undergraduate days. Lin Kiat and I rode the Greyhound to Ohio to bring back the car. He liked to call it the Pocket Rocket, especially after one summer when he put in an after-market air filter that really made the car purr.

Lovely and black against the snow in winter

I sometimes wonder where my dear old car is today. I still have the license plate, something I used to hang on the desk partition at work to remind me of my Ann Arbor days.

Now that I'm back in Ann Arbor, I have items from Singapore to remind me of home! Like wedding pictures, the red plastic spoons you get with noodles in hawker centers, some Chinese books (and some plush toys, I must confess). I suppose when I return to Singapore, I'll have my WHTRABT license plate hanging somewhere too.
