Surprise Candidate

Finally harvested one of the peanut plants after something like 3 months. One miserable peanut. But what an interesting peanut - Our very own grown in our balcony !!! It’s really remarkable to trace it’s humble beginnings from another peanut into a plant, blooming into yellow flower after flower. It’s not known what happened to the other flowers. Were they not pollinated or were they attacked by bacteria or some insects ?

One interesting upcoming event is the Presidential Elections on Aug 27th. An “unexpected candidate” has sprung up from nowhere. Andrew Kuan, a 51-yr old ex-PAP man will be vying for the prestigious post to contest against incumbent Mr S.R. Nathan. Apparently, he has eyed the post for 2 years and laid the ground quietly. Til nomination day on Aug 17, he’ll be the man to watch.
