In Singapore if you say someone is “blur” it means something along the lines of “stupid, careless, confused, ditzy, tired, and/or distracted”. I confess I was so blur one Saturday morning that after I made myself coffee I put it in the fridge, ate breakfast and then left the house without removing the coffee from the fridge and drinking it. I was halfway to work when I realized I hadn’t had a hot beverage at home and was going to have to get one at work.

I’ve been avoiding weekend breakfasts at the mall because the nearby hawker centre closed down for renovations and caused a dramatic increase in waiting times at the fast food outlets where I used to get breakfast on Saturday and Sunday. I don’t bring coffee with me from home, but after I make it it’s too hot to drink right away. Hence the idea of putting it in the fridge while eating.

When I got home, Aquinas was like, “By the way, what’s this?” Oops.

On the plus side, it didn’t spill in the fridge.
