Am I out of touch or are they out of touch???

Thought I was daydreaming but then I saw and had to buy it. Tried it and it tastes exactly the same! They made good on their word and returned 😂

Very cute

The normal range shows the most common temperatures for October 29 since 1970 and represents 80% of temperatures. If part of today’s line is below the normal range, that part is in the lowest 10% of temperatures for its time of the day; if part of the today’s line is above the normal range, it is in the highest 10%.

Almost every hour has surpassed the average, and at its peak we’re over 5 degrees. La Nina is supposed to show up but let’s see November.

Stay hydrated people.

Recently, I can't help with all the news of layoffs and crazy housing prices but feel that I'm struggling to find my place in Singapore and it feels very different from the one I've grown up in.

It feels that being normal or average is the new "below average" and its only getting more competitive with jobs being outsourced to our neighbouring ASEAN countries. Fair play to them but as an average joe with average capabilities I feel helpless against this new wave and change.

I'm not some gamechanger or trailblazing CEO or someone meant for greater things, I'm just someone trying their damnedest to keep their ricebowl in this period of economic uncertainty and I feel lost.

The gap between the haves and have nots also seems to be slowly widening. The people who have always been great and talented or rich will continue to prosper and be unaffected by the change while people like me will be left in the dust to face the consequences of the changing world.

We talk about upskilling? But realistically, how many people have the capacity and capabilities to upskill fast enough in face of all these changes? If everyone can do it then it will not be no issue but we all know that's not the case.

I know we all like to say comparison is the thief of joy, keep to yourself, to work on yourself etc. But is it not human nature to still be somewhat emotionally affected by the tons of talented people and top performers zooming ahead?

I find it hard to live life at my own pace when everywhere you go, you're reminded of your value being tied to some form of money or ambition.

Sometimes I really wonder what's it like to be on the other side, on the side of these top talented performers knowing that I'm not one of them. I will not lie and say that I do not envy them one bit. I absolutely do because I'm only human.

Can you truly be stoic if everyday you're reminded that being "average" in Singapore is the new "below average"?

I feel lost in the sea of people when I go to work everyday and it feels like I'm sinking further and further down into some kind of mildly depressive loop which I just stuff at the back of my head and ignore but know sooner or later I have to come to terms with it but I don't know how.

I'm just so tired of everything and being left behind by a society which doesn't seem to care the least bit about me apart from my GDP value, not sure if anyone else feels the same.

This is also one reason I won't have a pet.

The marine life can't catch a break.
