15. No wake for deaths during the partial lockdown from Apr 7 to May 4, 2020.

On Good Friday, April 11, 2020, my good friend passed away at home of a heart attack. He did not have a wake for friends to say goodbye. He was cremated  On April 13, his daughter informed me. This was how the Covid-19 pandemic impacted the lives of people.

On April 14, I went for my usual morning exercise walk and saw the 3 butterflies. They hung around for sometime.

My good friend has 2 daughters. So, these 3 butterflies appeared to be a reminder of him and his close family of 2 daughters?

14. Singapore Wildlife: A rare sighting of a small white butterfly in Singapore's Yio Chu Kang Crescent

Sat April 11, 2020

Today, I would like to share a rare sighting of a small white butterfly flitting on the plants at the side of the Seletar Simpang Kiri River in Yio Chu Kang Crescent near the Seletar Bus Depot. This butterfly would fold his wings immediately and rarely unfold his wings when he is at rest.  He looked like the white sibling of the more common yellow small butterflies.

Very difficult to get an image of unfolded wings as the small
white butterfly will immediately fold his wings when at rest
