Sawadeeka!

Just got back from Bangkok from my birthday weekend :-)
A big Thank You to the hardworking slugs for holding the fort.

I had a fun-filled couple of days in the land of rainbow smiles and probably packed on 1kg from all that delicious Thai food.

By the way, I learnt a new phrase during this past couple of days - “Donut opportunist“.

This conversation sounds almost like the Cheese royale bit from Pulp Fiction - surreal.

Sophia slug: It’s ridiculous how Singaporeans are crazy about donuts and queue up for an hour just to buy a box. Are you one of those?
The Donut Opportunist : Not all all. I’m just a donut opportunist. I just eat them when I can lay my hands on them.
Sophia slug: ??? Erm, ok.

And The Donut Opportunist proceeds to buy 3 mothership-sized boxes of Dunkin’ donuts! (check out the photographic evidence)

This got me thinking. Shouldn’t we ALL be donut opportunists? Or Char kway teow opportunists? Or Zesty Beef Salad opportunists? (< --- hehe, must do some shameless plugging here!) Or better still, let's all be Joy Opportunists! When joy comes along, discard all fear of failure ( and/ or calories!! haha ) and go crazy with consumption.

"Taste the sweet sweet donut of life, let not sugar, carb or fear of failure prohibit you" -sophia guru slug

By the way, does anyone know what on earth's a Papaya PokPok??

So hemsem neh!

He’s smart. He’s strong. He’s hardworking.

He’s caring and loving, to the point of being rather paternal, in fact.

He’s our beloved Joseph Slug :-)
