Pigeons

Have been having workday lunches with JX this few days because he is attending a course just next to the building I’m working at. And we started to imagine how nice if we were to work within the same vicinity (I wouldn’t dare say the same if it’s the same company, but well, it works for Kay).

Romantic lunches by the river, accompanied by pigeons. Got me fascinated. Those pigeons. Never looked at pigeons the same way again after Bolt. They were strutting around, and staring at the people eating nearby at the benches - as they paced before you. The scenery is somewhat like what I imagine an idyllic city to be – sitting on a bench in the park, guarding your precious sandwich from the pigeons gathering around your feet. And then, at one point, the pigeons gathered before Botero’s Muscular/Fat Pigeon. Everyone who works in Raffles Place will know the Muscular/Fat Pigeon, standing proudly by the Singapore River.

Me: "Wow, look at those pigeons. Gathering there. They seem to be in awe of the Giant Pigeon."

JX: "...hm. They are thinking that it is their God. That’s why they’re gathering there to worship it."

I laughed out so hard.

I also say - he says the funniest thing at the most unexpected moment sometimes.
