5 Million Pull a Sickie

About five million Brits took the day off sick today. Amazing ! Thats like the entire population of singapore calling an MC. Considering the yearly average of sickies is 22m per year for the UK, we've literally used up almost a quarter of our sickies in one day.

I have to say it was mildly depressing, it was a solid 2 weeks considering how the holidays were spaced, and hence my thai buffet lunch today. I am seriously having the food blues bad. I crave the pungence, the aroma, temptous balance and acerbic asian tastes that hails from my homeland. Probably one of the reasons why overseas singaporeans choose to keep their citizenship.

Ah and more stats, french people are at the top for checking their weight [daily] and singaporeans come last. I bulls**t you not. In singapore's defence, i told d that its because we have the best food, ever.

To me right now, my eyes are welling up with tears. Best...food....ever.
