The Curious Incident of an Old Robot


I was cruising the aisles of NTUC at White Sands when I saw him. Just sitting there amongst the sweets and the chocs, with a pack of Koka and a toothbrush. It was just there! When I wasn't looking for it, when I least expected it.

The strange thing is, I must have combed all of NTUC searching for him a few weeks back and I couldn't find him. Yesterday, I looked again. Nope, I still couldn't find a PEZ shelf. Where had he appeared from? Did he even belong to NTUC?

And what does this mean? That there is no point looking too hard; if it would appear, it will appear in due time? Ahh ... so many things in life are like that.
