Happiness Journal 22/9/25

Most days, I drag my feet to pick up my children because I have nothing but a night of drudgery to look forward to.

Today, however, I hastened my steps like a rat scurrying towards a mousetrap for two reasons.

First, the son has become obsessed with cattle and zebras, so I couldn’t wait to tell him about how some Japanese cattle have been painted with zebra-like stripes to reduce the likelihood of them getting bitten by flies. It’s a cool piece of trivia that I’m certain will stay etched in his mind.

Secondly, while decluttering my Sc folder, I found a hard copy of the map of the Singapore Zoo. I have probably hoarded it since 2021! In an era where apps are the go-to answer for everything, this physical map has elevated to be a relic of history. I know he will pore over the details with great excitement. Hopefully, this means that he will watch less TV tonight.
