One of the favourite parts of my weekend:

(Or the Lit Field Trip rather.)

Hanging out at the Fullerton Hotel, and letting the koi fish gently nibble at my fingers, then discovering that they were good-natured enough to let me pet them. The best part was when I decided to (gently) box them, and they let me do so AND then came back for more.

I think it was then that I realised that fish could make good pets, so long as they were interactive. Or perhaps humans are instantly engaged with anything that is interactive.

I was so happy with my discovery that I would’ve head-butted the fish. I don’t think they would’ve minded, seeing how good-natured they were

But I hadn’t planned on getting my head wet, so I decided against the idea, and settled for trying to get the fish to jump out of the water and nibble my fingers. I figured that since they had been rather dog-like so far, anything was worth a shot.

But head-butting would’ve been fun, wouldn’t it?

I have come to a decision.

My car, when I get it, will be called The Puttress Wagon, in honour of Pooters and Kill Bill. However, I will not be getting my car so soon as I have made the necessary calculations, and have discovered that I still do not have enough financial liquidity to purchase another form of transport just yet.

However, by nature, I like to share (unlike some people… WEI!), so I will share with you some of my findings. I compiled the trend of COE prices over the last three years, and it seems like now is the best time to buy a car, if you have the cash. Whether my analysis is accurate or not, I don’t know, but here’s the chart if you’d like to take a gander at it for yourself:

Am off to send Pooters for its yearly inspection now, so have a happy weekend, ladies and gentlemen. See you next week.
