Timothy Tye's Today's Question

I am an inquisite person. I love to find out things. Perhaps that's why I end up writing my website, to continuously satisfy my curiosity. But there are other, often amusing questions which I want to know, usually everyday questions that affect us which I want to ask, both to seek their opinion as well as to satisfy my curiosity. Most of these questions have no wrong answers, and are simply based on the individuals preference. To remind myself of questions that I have asked before, I am compiling them by date. They are listed below.

All these posts appear first on my timeline. Follow me to view the latest.

2018 Nov 16: You are a young girl working in a large office. Every work day, you would join your colleagues for lunch in the cafeteria.
Recently, you noticed a new boy at the office. He has his own lunch gang, sitting in a different table from yours, but for some reason, you have developed an interest in seeing him. The way he walks, the way he talks, laughs, it all makes you wish that you know him, be his friend, or better still, his girlfriend.
You even went department by department, pretending to go somewhere, just to find out where he is seated. It is the first time in your life you are feeling this way about a complete stranger.
Now you look forward to lunch time, for there's food, not just for the mouth, but for the eyes. From his appearance, he is probably the same age as you, and if it turns out that he is a year or two older, and "available", that would be perfect. But he doesn't even know you exist.
What should you do?
2018 Nov 15: Do you usually have your breakfast at home or outside?
2018 Nov 14: Let's say you have two lunchmates (three women) whom you thought are your good friends, because the three of you always have lunch and share daily gossips together. Then one day, one of them said that she would be on leave on Friday. After she said that, the other lunch mate also said, "What a coincidence, I am also on leave on Friday!"

By the following Monday, both of them were back having lunch with you, and you thought nothing about it until Tuesday, when you happened to browse Facebook (you don't usually go into Facebook), and saw that the two of them went for a vacation together from Friday to Sunday. They never mentioned they were going away together, they never talked about their vacation over lunch on Monday, and they never invited you to join.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
