Fish Tales

My life in Singapore. And then some.

Sometimes you just know something is bound to go wrong. I got that feeling today as I passed by a window display near my office. A tandem of guys were attempting to clean a narrow space between the display and the glass. One of them managed to squeeze himself in-between the space while using a vacuum hose to tidy up the area.

Well, once he finished he couldn’t find a surface to leverage himself back into a standing position. He was stuck and knew it. And, there wasn’t much room to maneuver out of the situation. So he had to inch is way out, backwards… in front of a growing crowd. Slowly. Very slowly.

I’m sure he appreciated the photos. But, a moment like this needs to be captured.

During my lunch hour, I spent some time saving the world. It’s because I turned myself into a superhero on The Hero Factory website… nice escape from my daily grind. Anyway, after I finished customizing my character, I Photoshopped my own superhero name on the comic book cover because I didn’t care for the one generated for me . And I also sorted out my superpowers:
