Hail the nest

If a murmur sparked a reply, hail me directly. I read post slowly and answer when the week allows — usually early mornings or quiet weeknights, Singapore time.

There is no form on this page on purpose — a plain email reaches me, and I would rather look after a mailbox than a form I cannot maintain.

I am glad to hear about Serangoon corners I missed, factual corrections, or quiet questions about a murmur. Skip NRIC copies, bank numbers, or private details about strangers — ordinary email is not encrypted. /privacy.php explains what I keep and for how long.

I check post twice weekly unless travel intervenes. Parcels left with the block concierge when I am walking the avenue are fine.

Telephone conversations suit urgent coordination. Email suits long thoughts with links or attachments you own the rights to share.

Do not send bulk press releases. Do send observations about Serangoon corners I have not described yet.

If you are nearby, mention the void deck bench near the letterboxes. I sometimes write there on Saturday mornings.

Response time is usually within a week. Silence longer than that means your message landed in spam and should be resent plainly.

I once received a postcard from a reader in Malacca about kopitiam steam. Paper mail still delights me when it arrives without tracking numbers.
