Today I have learnt that:
1. Payar Lebar MRT is a long, long, long, looooonnnnnnggggg way from home.
2. You can never keep two ez link cards in your wallet at any one time.
3. They serve bleeding (I mean literally yes) liver in pork porridge.
4. Frogs legs taste like chicken, don't come joined together with the butt, don't come with the webby feet part and have a squididised texture.
5. People will actually pay you to pluck out a strand of their grey hair.
6. When desperate, people tend to search rubbish bins.
7. No one eats oranges at the beach any more.
8. Never reject someone who goes up to you and asks for a signature on their hand. You can always hope they 1.are in love with you/2.mistook you for someone famous/3. idolise you.
9. When you think that the bike you rented has a problem with the wheels, never, ever, ever ever ever ever cycle all the way to the kiosk to get it fixed/wheel the bike all the way back. Instead, you should twist the handle anti-clockwise for two rounds.
10. The sea water is lethal. You may not be that deep in the water but the waves always seem to come in at the wrong times.
See, if I can draw ten life lessons every day, no matter how stupid they may seem, I will be a wise old wo(man) who sits on a rock and dispenses nonsense in another seventy years time.
