Durianian

Someone who just loves eating the durian in spite of its pungent smell, which tastes like heaven to them—the only tropical fruit that is banned on Singapore’s public transport system.

Singapore secretly wants more of its citizens to be durianians, so that in the event of any of its unfriendly neighbors trying to pollute its limited air space with the fruit’s pungent smell, it’d minimize any potential “death by durian.”

A little juicy formula that exposes the covert relationship between the sides in a right triangle—no other elementary mathematical result has excited so many people from all walks of life to try proving it from different angles.

Exclamation Point

A question mark that has been straightened out by God, if you put your faith in Him for things you don’t understand—when you are in the valley where life seems unfair, yet you wait upon His grace and goodness to turn things around.

Whenever you find yourself in those dark places (breakup, betrayal, death, debt, divorce, hurt, job loss, sickness, …), know that God can turn your question marks into exclamation points.

Life Is a Bitch

When life has been pretty mean and unfair to you, especially when all your friends and relatives are wealthier, smarter, and prettier than you.

Why do bad things happen to good people? And material blessings seem to be chasing after evil people? Life is a bitch, isn’t it?
