No Love for Chewing Gum

What you are seeing above is a very rare specimen that is not known to exist in Singapore for almost two decades. The last sighting of this creature was in 1992 before it totally became extinct. Due to its rarity, illegal trafficking of said specimen is believed to being carried out in secret from our neighbour across the causeway.

The above was a trophy from a recent hunting trip to Malaysia. The specimen put up a good fight. A limb from yours truly was lost during the acquisition but it was worth it.

Below is the brand of gum that I used to buy when I was a kid. The wrapper has a tattoo which one can apply with water. anyone still remember them?

    Well, there were some chewing gums that used to be sold in a “mama” shop located near my house..

    But the shop closed after a fire broke out 4 yrs ago.. Now a new shop opens but different owner.. Not so fond of it cause no more chewing gums.. :(

    I puked on a piece before. Nearly swallowed two. That must be why I dislike gum.
