An overloaded cart pulled by a moto slowly making its way to wherever its destination was. This photo was taken along the Russian Boulevard last Sunday.

I pray the driver and his cargo arrived safely.

Tweety Bird is a cartoon character popular back in the day and my younger sister’s favourite.

When I saw this pair at a shop, I snatched them right away because I know my sister will be very happy to own these.

The precocious Tweety Bird. Who doesn’t know this yellow cutie?

APAD 049: Strange and ancient

Saw this sign outside a shop selling what look like antique wooden furniture along Sothearos Boulevard.

“Strange” and “ancient” furniture are sold here, according to this sign.

I don’t know what a “strange” furniture is. Do you? I was curious to find out but forgot to ask because my husband and I were busy looking at chairs and work tables.

I doubt it if the stuff sold there are genuine antique pieces. They are poorly made. The work table (with drawers) I was eyeing for my craft table this morning looked great on the top portion. But underneath, upon closer inspection, I noticed that the drawers were poorly joined, some nails are exposed, and there were lots of scratches.

APAD 048: The kites are back.
