One thing about sitting outside your shop during the course of your working day is that people'd stop by you a lot - to ask for directions, to chat and get this, to ask for advice on the English language.

I feel like the resident yogi or something but it's nice to know when people deem you to be knowledgeable though I suspect it's got nothing to do with my credentials but more so because I can usually be found reading a book to pass the time.

To date, I have enlightened people, especially my fellow retailers on how to spell (I am very lucky no one's asked how to spell 'eexgarrete' and 'oelemtte' so far, whew), I have edited business letters, composed a letter of resignation for someone's mom and I have of late also been approached to come up with a letter of appeal to the Traffic Police with the specific request to use 'bombastic language' in order to appear more intelligent in the eyes of the authorities *rolleyes*.

I'm just happy to bask in the limelight.

There's an adage in my head, I just can't seem to remember the words to fill in the blanks. It goes like this: In the land of the __________, the __________ is king. Any ideas? Heh.

>>After leaving this for more than six hours>>

And the answer is: In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.

The smart person who responded first (the only one actually) with the correct answer is *drumroll* my little bird herself!!! Yay!!!

I can hear "kelong... kelong, kelong, kelong... kelong, kelong!!!" to the tune of the "Ole ole" soccer chant everywhere. Oh shut up.

The winner of this contest wins a night out with THE Goat himself to watch Spiderman 3, ah ha ha. Sorry, private joke.
