So, I was at Apple yesterday and I was sitting in the meeting room, looking around, soaking it all up - you know how it is. Then I noticed a couple of wall clocks hanging, one with Singapore underneath it (which made sense, coz, well, we’re in Singapore), and another with Cupertino as its title. My mind started thinking…”Cupertino…that sounds Mexicany, or could it be...

Flashback
When I was six and living in Sydney, every Friday used to be buy-lunch-from-the-canteen day. I always got chicken nuggets and a strap of liquorish, and felt uber cool munching away on these golden gems of joy versus mum-made sandwiches and bananas with smiley faces drawn on the skin.

Conversation starters
So, I was thinking about conversation starters, since yesterday showcased some rather smashing ones, from both myself and this socially-inept, strange guy at work. Mine was “if you could eat one fruit for the rest of your life, what would it be?” I happily answered blueberries since they’re, well, DELICIOUS. Someone else said “tomato”. Weirdo. Tomato? Really? Anyway,...
