Little Rose is on my mind. Last we MSNed she was in HK nursing her father, who has advanced lung cancer. He went to high school with my mum. Haven't seen Rose online for a few days; before then she was on all the time. It's making me think sinister thoughts. You know you're getting old when people your parents' age start signing off.

Elegant Lotus is on my mind. And her 10-day-old S, the second cutest Asian baby ever (after N, duh). Wow I'm an auntie...

Belle is on my mind. She's getting hitched on October 7. She was so unhappy for so long I worried whether she'd ever rise above it. But life helps those who help themselves, so it seems.
