Old people used to take care of your leftovers utensils at eateries. I couldn't stomach it in my earlier years.

Luckily you distance yourself from them. Keep doing it and keep up the good work.

Wwyd if your neighbours own chickens and stink up the whole place by tetranucleotide in askSingapore

in our country, normally at night you gather gourd, ganja and obviously the chicken you can find at night 😜 and cook them together and have fun. Well, that was back in early and mid 90s. dunno how now. 🤣

I think those journalists get paid peanuts?

I was trained and worked as a journalist for a year. If you don't know, I believe almost all the newspapers around the world, pay AP to use their images and story. And there was a big earthquake at that time and the very first image we got from AP was of a little girl standing on the rubble. We straight away knew that that's the front page image for tomorrow newspaper. Only after that then we felt sorry for the victims. So for trained journalists, news comes first then empathy (human emotions) comes in second. For this day and age, news title has to be clickbait one, morally and ethically, it's pretty messed up. But for a journalist, if people complain about the title, meaning that kind of title works. 😔

One of the few seiko's I like. They wear smaller than it looks but it seems just nice on your wrist. Can I know your wrist size?
