Happy update today: yesterday lovely HAY and I (and HAY’s lovely friend) met, where the exchange took place along with a sense of enjoyment and connection I feel fortunate to have come across! HAY holds the photo evidence of the exchange, hehe
On my end, HQL-428 has been proudly received; meanwhile HQL-427, HQL-429 are safe in my hands for now and the raffia string is a source of enjoyment to domestic lord Pumpkin the cat (photo evidence attached); and so these bundles excitedly await to meet their respective recipients
Met up with TURTLENECK outside of Library@Orchard, which happens to also be distributing some free zines at the moment by local artists. My friend SCARF is with me today, but is struggling with the automated checkout machine so she's taking some time to make it out. After the initial hello the three of us get to chatting at a matcha restaurant, which turns into a five hour hangout, which turns into us all swapping numbers and now we are text-and-image based friends <3
I am now in Singapore alongside the three packages, which I have attached a photo of in this email. I'm with one of my closest friends and her family, which has entailed many conversations so far about a) the types of food that are good during this time of the year b) who out of Lee Kwan Yew's sons should have been primed for governance, and also predictably a lot of talk about the various treatment of COVID between our two regions.
I'll be in Singapore until January 2nd so if there's a way to get in touch with the receiver that would be amazing! Would really love to get a chance to chat with them as well as what they're up to. My only request would be to plan out a socially distanced gathering for this exchange, as my close friend is immuno-compromised and we're trying to reduce risk as much as possible.
It's very rainy in Singapore at the moment. Wishing you the best, HAY
