Of Mix Bags of Messages

Would you take someone who is named "Bunny" seriously?
Seriously?
I mean, how? Please, do tell me. How do you take someone named "Bunny" seriously and professionally.
Call me shallow. Call me judgmental. I just can't. All right .. I actually can. But it takes a lot of effort.
Come on, if I call myself Strawberry, you can take me seriously?
Seriously?

There are two type of taxi drivers in Singapore.
One that engage you in conversation .. which by the way, will mainly center around the politics of Singapore.
And one that totally ignores you.

Half-marathon needs serious preparation. Energy gel. Hydration. Sunblock. Everything needs to be taken into account. Which sadly, I did not. It was a torturous 21km with the second-half fully dominated by the thought "I am H.U.N.G.R.Y."
100 Plus saved my life.

It is really interesting to hear the ladies in the office talk about life. Like .. do you know people actually spend SGD 5K on 3 kids' tuition, music, etc etc classes?
5K!
And then .. there are kids today who are so .. "fortunate" .. that when the teacher gave an assignment of writing an essay titled "My experience taking a bus", the kids actually reply "But ... I have never taken a bus..." What kind of world are we living in today ...
Still .. very very interesting. Yeah. Call me ba gua.
