2-in-1 blog

The topic of the day was Places of interests in Singapore.
So I ask my customers what does Places of interests mean to them?


Now, the thing about my customers is that they are pretty frank. Straightforward and are not fake. They do not reply for the sake of curry favouring.


So the answers go like this:
A place that many tourists come, visit at different times of the day, they take pictures;
Snap snap here, snap snap there.


There will be many exhibitions, endless live shows to entertain them while they are here. The media, the reporters will sometimes interview the "exhibits" and flash it on the national newspapers.


So I ask my customers again, to give me an example of a place of interest in Singapore.


“I know the answer.”
HHHH
HHHH = My company. My customers are telling me that the place I work in, which of course translates to the place they “study” is none other than a places of interests in Singapore.


I smiled. I laughed at their answers. They laughed too.


Now, did I mention before in my blog that many things in life are laughable, but they might not be joyous.
Agree?

While having dinner with R the other day, we chit chatted about our work. R's friend was with him, and he asked me what I work as. I decided to let him guess, so I said, I work long hours daily. In fact, 12 hours a day, as early as 6.45am, to which he replied,
Are you working on a shift?
And are you a blue-collar (factory) worker?


I smiled. I laughed.
But I was not the least happy.
No, I am not angry with R's friend.
I am unhappy with the way my life is.
