A conversation in my bedroom in our apartment today.
Tai Pi / Pumpkin: Please can we keep the kittens?
Me: I promise you can have hamsters if we move to a big house.
Pumpkin: We're never going to move! We can't afford to buy a house! We will live here forever!
Me: I heard that in a few years time prices will fall.
Sai Pi: Prices are going higher and higher!
Tai Pi: More and more people are coming [referring to the influx of foreigners into Singapore], prices will never come down! Unless there's a big disease that kills many people.
Pumpkin: The Black Plague
Tai Pi: We are not as stupid as we look. Just because we don't like Singapore doesn't mean that we don't know things that are happening.
