1. What’s the last thing you got in the mail?
ooof. I thought with Postcrossing and other friends, I'd have interesting to say. But if I'm being truthful, as of today, the last thing I got was... bank letters. At least it's about the monthly deposit from the mutual funds I bought.

2. What’s the last thing you sent in the mail?
After I'm done here at Starbucks I'll walk across the street to the post office to post a letter off. But coming to think of it, I think... they've updated the post office operating hours and they now don't open on Saturdays? Or postmen don't deliver on Saturdays? I'll check it out later.

3. How many unread emails are in your inbox right now?
I'm the irrational "need to clear my mailbox" type of person, so of my own emails, work and personal, I have none.

HOWEVER, my Boss has be checking HIS mailbox and believe me when those red numbers wreak havoc on my psyche.

4. What is your most recent text message about?
Yesterday when I sent an update on Sai Lup to the family group chat.

5. Do you have a favorite postage stamp design?
We actually have a series of postage stamps that's for animal rights, and I know I bought two sets of them when they came out. But since I'm a pro at keeping things then forgetting where I've kept them in... I can't find them now.... oops.

1. When did you most recently drop something off with someone?
This actually reminded me i should have dropped off some stamps (rewards shopping kind of thing) to my bestie when I saw her on Thursday but I had forgotten.... again... need to do that on Tuesday.

2. Who is drop-dead gorgeous?

LOL yes. I can still make a joke.
This is Kitty, the. cat even I am scared of.

3. On what are you waiting for a price drop?
Not really... I successfully waited for the flight tickets to drop and bought them... the ones for London... but apparently now Cathay Pacific is doing an even steeper drop. ohwell, I bought the tickets already.

4. What were the circumstances when you once dropped the ball?
Not anything recently, but since the boss (as bosses go) will scapegoat the people around to take the blame, I'll bite. In Cantonese, we say "To eat a dead cat" 食死貓 to mean taking the blame for something. So, a couple weeks ago, he missed a flight to somewhere. His driver told me he was ready AGES ago. But he was using his mindset from pre-covid that he can just mosey over to the airport 40 minutes before his flight (business class, and all that). Well guess what, post-covid it's a whole hour, and so he missed his flight. And he blamed me, because I didn't do the online check in for him (WTF). But then sure, if he wants to blame on me, sure, my mistake. Sorry.

5. What news recently made your jaw drop?
I dunno. Haven't been checking the news. I've actually got a subscription to the Wall Street Jounal; I got the promo of USD $2 a month, thought I'd start reading world news; haven't read once *shrugs*, and I think I'm going to just cancel it, but apparently, signing up is easily done online but damn it, for cancelling I need to call them *rolls eyes*. In that case, I might as well start reading until the subscription expires in July.
