Slower tempo in NZ?

Dear SG,



Everyone is saying that Singapore moves at a really fast pace. We walk faster, talk faster, and eat faster. Life just pass by in a flash. But if Singaporean are fast, why couldn't we catch a housefly?



My 5 year old kiwi nephew here could hit a fly since the age of 3. The only problem is his height, he can only go as high as he can reach. So why is the houseflies in NZ slower? Or are they really slower?

Joseph told me that it's probably because of the scent they used in the house just for summer time. The scent makes insects like bees and flies disorientated and dizzy (I didn't know insects will have fainting spells too). This cause their reflex to be slow down. Interesting...







Oh well, try to relax a bit more in SG, life is too short. Cherish each moment so that we may look back with no regrets.

with love from NZ,
J
