Pros and Cons of my height

Over lunch which consisted of wagyu beef (yummy!!!), I was told several things.

Because I am short, lightning will not strike me as long as someone taller is walking alongside me. And almost everyone is taller than me. So I need not worry about lightning. Even in the event that I raise my hand, Benson will still be the one to be prey to lightning, not me.

However, because I am short, floods are fearsome phenomenons to me. One flood - and I am gone.

Thankfully, in Singapore, the drainage systems are sufficiently good enough so that floods that could potentially cover my head, leading to my tragic death is close to nil. Lightning, on the other hand, is plentiful here, and forever on the lookout for new victims. Conclusion: it is ideal for me to live in Singapore.

I was also told that if Benson was so kind as to shelter me with his umbrella on a pouring day, his effort will be for naught. He is so tall that the umbrella in his hand will not be able to shelter me.

These coming from my colleagues - I can only conclude that we are indeed getting closer...
