Flipping the coin

Come think of it, the island of sunny Singapore doesn't have much to smile about these days... Swine Flu Fears, Aware Saga, wth happened to the Ming Yi case? Recession, Our Senior Minister's in hospital... What are we to make of these depressing times?

Holidays are in full swing now, I'm enjoying myself so much I ran out of mon-nay. The Cashless Als walks around with nada in his wallet. Well, at least he's been able to sleep and wake up late so far. Actually one thing to be thankful about is the hot afternoons and the rainy evenings. Makes for good sleeping and perfect activity weather. It just got me thinking, seeing how 1 week of the short 3 weeks I (we) have for holidays just whizz by. Makes me thankful that I actually have some form of rest one way or the other. (Exam results for UB comes out 18th May btw)

There's always two sides to 1 damn coin. On one hand we're scared of swine flu coming a-visiting to Singapore, yada yada, nudists, Aware, Ming Yi, recession, blah, attention seekers, blah, poor, exam results. But reflecting the past week has reminded me to be thankful that Singapore is still swine flu free, nudists are in court, recession is a part of life, attention seekers should be executed publicly, to gym more since I'm too poor to go out and exam results are only released on the effing 18th of May.

Life ain't that bad after all. I think.
