🧧 Rabbit or cat? - 🥫 #17

This is not a trick question.

It’s been a cold month for Singapore. There’s no winter (or 4 seasons) here but temperatures have been dropping to roughly 25℃. Yes, not *very* cold but imagine going back to air-con offices and still endure the sometimes-rainy outside 🥶 #SingaporeWinter

Highlights of the month

• ⌨️ Got my first wireless mechanical keyboard.

• 👨‍🎨 Made a diagram with Excalidraw.

• 📹 Made a nice video.

• 🎮 Played around with some pretty cool UI (1) (2).

Story Time

Short story this time. I received this (snail) mail with “undefined” in the address:

It’s probably JavaScript 😆.
