This thing started out of the goodness of my heart .. and .. it became a general knowledge by the end of the day.

Met Jen for dinner and she left her purse in office.
After dinner, we walk pass a blind chap selling tissues.

i told jen ‘lets go back and buy tissue from him’
jen: my friends are always so kind

took out my wallet, dig around and relised.. I don’t have $1 coin. My smallest note is a $5.
Jen: I cant help you, my wallet in office. pls don’t give him $5 !
Me: but its not nice to walk away !

I walk over and pass my $5 to the blind chap.
He: how much you gave me?
Me: erm. $2
He: I give you change
Me: no need.

Took the tissues and left.

Jen: how do he know its $2 or $5? If he buy food? Pple can cheat his money!
Me: wah.. don’t be evil and cheat his money. But I agreed, there will be pple like that !

I went home and relate the whole thinky to k.
he took out the following notes and taught me how the blind tell the notes apart.

I found it interesting and whatsapp my siblings.
Kor sum it up:
$2 is one dot
$5 is two dot
$10 is three dot
$50 is three dot but arrange differently

Kor say they could tell by the size of the note too ! As usual, kor is the smarty pants !! he say he wonder about it once and goggle for answers.

Ohh, kervin was surprised that I actually gave $5 for 3 packs of tissue. I see it as my good deed of the day lah. Nothing to shout about.
Anyway, I hope you feel smarter after reading the above. 🙂

i started eating salad for lunch last sept / oct.

i am pleased to announce more & more colleagues are joining me for salad-lunch !
well.. these pple who join me in my salad are those who commented ‘aiyo, so healthy eh / why must eat salad for lunch?’ blah blah blah..

wow ! i am happy for starting a new trend ! hahaha

i used to eat almost everyday but have been cutting down to 2-3 times a week, depending on my mood ! my own achievement? from a 46kg – 47kg to 42kg – 43kg

honestly, it is impossible to lose weight just by eating salad. i also try to walk around in office, stand when i took train (or bus), go for walks lah, stand while i watch tv at home (not throughout the tv program, maybe 50-60% of the time)

no pain, no gain !
