The Drinking Fountain
So I am back for a couple of weeks already and although cashflow has been grinded to a screeching halt, I do have a bit of savings to tide over for a while.
Still, as I was talking to a friend that it doesn't mean that I should finish the last penny before I start thinking about replenishing the kitty.
Savings as the word itself suggests is savings and that the less I touch it, the better.
Anyway, the family took a little trip to Changi Airport Terminal 3 and I was initially a little bit apprehensive as it seemed weird to pick a place such as the airport as a family outing spot.
As it turned out, there was a little play area for kids there.
I ish suakoo.
Then I saw the public drinking fountain as I head to the toilet.
A drinking water for free to the public. Water, the preserver of all lives is there.
For free.
There, something resonated in my heart.
This is something that all of us take for granted to the extent that some may even think that only the destitute drinks from it.
Even though I wasn't thirsty, I bent over and took an appreciative swig.
Not that I am in dire straits financially (well, not yet at the very least) but at times like these, such things do catch my attention more then usual.
Singaporeans must be thankful for what they have today....
.... coz tomorrow, there will be more people drinking from it. Mark my words.

i have no idea why but reading this entry reminded me of this entry i read
off this advertising blog.
I ish bringing my 2 litre water bottle and filling up the fwee water nao.
Can't help but to smile at your post. Good that your humour has never left
you despite the circumstances that you're in. Will keep you in prayers.
msvindicta: Interesting article. Thanks for the link.
tssd: I think you are referring to the wash basin tap. Usually
drinking fountain operates with a button or knob.
ruok: Oh how you wish there is a tap that runs single malt next to
it.
Faith: My thanks for the well wish. Things are looking up for me now
albeit slowly.
Suggest you n cowboy write a book on working / doing business in China. The
cheat sheet kind is nice, not the lengthy lor sor wordy type, like 101
things that will crop up + how you reacted to it + what you would have done
on hindsight (solutions). I bet its going to sell.
33: Thanks for the vote of confidence but what we know is really
very little compared to the shitload of nonsense that we have to deal with
day in day out. Worse, every shit thrown at us is a new piece of shit that
we probably didn't cover in the book that we wrote.
That's welcome to QQLand for ya.
the destitute? no lah, changi airport is the most friendly infrastructure
I've ever been in, ever since they took away the drinking fountains in
Raffles City (when SOGO is still around...remember?)
akk: Well, I am not saying that the drinking fountain in Changi
Airport is for the destitute (they can't afford the bus fare and back) but
the idea of a public drinking fountain in general which by the way, you
don't see them anymore these days.
