THORNY FATHER’S DAY TREAT
Phase two made Father’s Day doubly special this year for retiree Senin Moin.
For two months, Mr Senin, 69, could see and talk to his son and daughter and their children only on a screen, through the videoconferencing application Zoom.
It was how the family celebrated Hari Raya last month.
When some restrictions were lifted in phase one of the reopening earlier this month, Mr Senin was finally able to receive his children and grandchildren, two at a time, at his home, where he lives with his wife, who is in her 60s.
Even then, it was from a distance.
And the hugs and clasping of hands will still have to wait, though social gatherings of up to five people are possible now in phase two.
Nonetheless, it was cause for celebration.
His daughter organised a small get-together yesterday, and as a treat, Mr Senin went from his home in Yishun to Ang Mo Kio yesterday to pick up $150 worth of a family favourite – durian.
“I know the stall quite well. I like their durian, the quality is good,” he said.
