Getting breakfast, AMA while my eggs boil https://t.co/6Ot2EYTkd8
1. Soft-boiled! Or sunny side up, or poached, or scrambled... https://t.co/mlGVTllgQ6
2. Right now I have a personal interest in knowing more about Indian and Tamil history - but Iām not actually too fixated on that. I just keep an extra eye out. Truth is I approach history primarily as a search for interesting facts and stories https://t.co/EHgtdOXeFI
My historical fun facts thread is a pretty good introduction to how I think and approach these things. Itās like learning a language, or music - you start with a few things that are useful or interesting, then play and look for connections https://t.co/nzW6Sj0ZM6
For art I have an aesthetics thread - again I donāt really follow any specific curriculum or method, I just look for what I like, catalogue it, read up about it and around it, and over time I develop my own way of appreciating everything https://t.co/Gxtpv05b9W
3. Oh there are many different kinds of bread to be had. We also have the conventional squarish white bread you get pretty much everywhere https://t.co/Dtd6fYq1oO
4. I havenāt had my coffee yet but... meet... Japanese people...? The community here is surely different than in Japan. š Other than that it depends on what sort of experience youāre interested in having. Maybe wander around Arab Street and Little India https://t.co/UV3ykczFk7
If you only have 5 minutes to check out Singapore, I might have to recommend a walk down South Bridge Road. Iām not sure if thereās anything like if in the world - Indian food - a Muslim mosque - a Hindu temple - a Buddhist temple - Chinese shops - shophouses - corporate towers https://t.co/Fgchfvp6kx
5. Iāve spent a lot of time and energy thinking and reading about this, and I keep coming back to humor as the answer. We are born crying, and it seems to me poetically appropriate to die laughing https://t.co/C53xrArBPd
Lots of different ways to approach this, and lots of ways to get it wrong. The humor should be hearty and life-affirming. The Big Bang is really a great cosmic fart joke, I truly believe this https://t.co/k3fWlzlDpH
The pursuit of happiness is a self-defeating trap. Pursue excitement and amusement instead! One must imagine Sisyphus LOL-ing https://t.co/IvmKylubTd
If you can imagine this in a way that is respectful and kind: in a sense, my goal in life is to laugh in the face of god. A big, happy, hearty laugh shared between the closest of friends. Children should not live in guilt and fear and shame and anxiety. Existence is hilarious https://t.co/C9lr1wwIVx
