And society obviously have its own plans for people like me.

1. Singapore is very sunny. You help your friends stay less tan.

“Find Wally? Nah, I’ll meet you where that tall dude is.”

“So tall next time how to find boyfriend?!”

5. You are expected to be good at everything and at sports, which is defined only as basketball or volleyball.

6. You are always uncomfortable on a plane.

Because the moment you rest and take a seat, your legs touch the chair in front. As if sensing your presence, the person immediately reclines the seat.

7. People know your each and every movement.

Especially when you are in the changing room, and the whole world knows when you've just removed your shirt because your hands awkwardly rise above the door.

8. You get enough recognition.
