My nuts

Some days are so exceptionally perfect. Let's see what factors kept Shu high on life today :)

1. Someone messaged from back home to say a plant I gave them long back had its first little guava fruit!
2. Received two compliments in recognition and appreciation at work
3. Listened to a troubled colleague ramble about a personal issue, she actually thanked me for listening later
4. Prioritising and helping out a colleague on a shared project within 15 mins of request, during very busy hours
5. Was warmed to see a friend happy with potential blackmail material I sent, along with a much-loved book
6. Apologised for being petty to the sister on a row we had earlier today
7. Spoke with the mother and spent some quality "dad-son" time with the dad
8. Emailed two long lost acquaintances just to say hi, and they will be pleasantly surprised tomorrow
9. Shared food at work, actually I keep nuts (to increase my protein intake) on my table and people are drawn to it like chipmunks!

Sucker.

I also got a crash course on basic vehicle maintenance best practices from my dad. I re-learnt how check tyre pressure and inspect brake oil, power steering oil, engine oil and radiator water levels. Apparently, good drivers are supposed to do regular checks, as opposed to ignorant drivers who wait to complete 3000km so the guys at the service station can check it for them! If you are really unfortunate, you can miss out on a leak and have your engine choke and die. Replacing a new engine is probably as expensive as a getting a heart transplant.


Computers, vehicles, cameras, robotics - all these seem to draw design inspiration from the human body.

Another awkward alcohol-based company function... luckily, designated drivers can't drink.

but WoOHoO it's the weekend after that!!!!
