This morning , my wife and I went for our usual morning walk . The sun was just rising in the East. It was bright and golden . It looked like a big round crimson brass plate just emerging from behind some deep dark interior , shining fiercely across the super structure of a highway that was now in place above Upper Seranggoon Road. We went up the gentle slope , passed a huge bust of Ganesan . Then we went past some low shrubs. I think they were the curry leaves plants. We strolled past the Caltex petrol station . And it is interesting to note that there was a new term for the toilets there - " five stars refresh rooms". They are toilets ! Refresh rooms, not refreshment rooms. See : The word" refresh" has acquired a new usage - an interesting one too . Imagine : If you are new to the English Language . And you associate "refresh" with "refreshment" . What a joke it will be if you are looking for drinks and find yourself in a toilet !
