Pressie

I got a new Eeyore recruit to join the evergrowing army over the weekend. This one's a little retarded - it looks retarded lah, poor thing. But it's just soooo cute. Haha, I can make it do stupid things like hold its ears over its eyes (the ears and hands are magnetic and so is the cup/hat). Or hold its hat/cup with its ears, or look it's wearing a turban, or just pulling his ears - like in the pictures above. Ok, kinda bo liao but you get the idea.

Kidnapped

If I got kidnapped, who would come and pay the ransom? I dun think I would matter enough to anyone to warrant ransom payment, especially if the ransom was like $5 million bucks (or anything in the millions).

But since I'm that insignificant, I'm in no danger of being kidnapped anytime soon. Or find out how much I'm actually worth to those around me.

The above thought is courtesy of yet another random tangent at work. The Philippines Yearbook publishes the number of people who are kidnapped year and amount of ransom asked for amongst other nonsense like number of prisoners escaped and also those recaptured.

Random Rants

Eating Marks & Sparks Honey Roast Wiltshire Ham Potato Crisps with chopsticks. Yum. High on sodium!

Did you know that you need USD30 million net worth to get a Krispy Kreme franchise? And apparently the franchise fees alone are 2 million (not sure USD or SGD), not to mention operating equipment, start up fees, labour, rental yada yada. We (our intern and I) spent a good part of the afternoon coming up with a P&L to see the feasibility of opening a Krispy Kreme here. No wonder Singapore has no Krispy Kreme. Next to impossible unless you're the Sultan of Brunei with money to throw into the toilet.

Been reading up on mental illnesses and personality disorders on wiki lately. Cluster B personality disorders in the DSM are quite interesting - antisocial, borderline, histrionic and narcissistic. There are probably tons of people with some sort of mental illness to various degrees, just that not many actually undergo diagnosis, often attributing it to external circumstances or PMS. Now doesn't that sound familiar. Haha.
