Bobo is expected to live to 88 years (based on the current living situation)
Everyone should do this. ------> http://calculator.livingto100.com/
Bobo's serious. Do it. As Bobo was answering the questions to the questionnaire she really though about the shit she had been eating and how it is affecting her body. It also reminded her of those exercise resolutions which she's yet to carry out.
Bobo doesn't really want to live that long. Serious. Bobo's afraid of living too long and being ill when she's old. She would much rather die earlier and enjoyed. Never having to suffer the perils of old age. But she wouldn't commit suicide. There's been reports of Japanese elderly killing themselves.
In South Korea and Japan, this is very common. The cost of living is high and the people feel useless when they grow old. In fact, not only when they grow old....
Love once shared this with me. When he was in South Korea, he saw many men loitering near office buildings in the evening. It was after-office hours and the buildings were closed and all dark. Yet these men in suits and ties were just sitting around or even lying down near the beautiful fountains and sculptures, doing absolutely nothing.
He consulted his Korean friend and this was what he was told.
These men were waiting to go home. In Korea, to go home early would mean that one is useless and holds a minor position in the company. If one is seen arriving home before 9 or 10, the neighbours would gossip and the family would be shamed.
Bobo wonders if the day will come for Singapore. Sigh. Bobo would hate it.

Well. What can Bobo say?
Totally expected.
