question: [ Just slightly more than 24 hours]By the time you read this post , Japanese artist Shigeru Ban would have boarded and left Singapore on a jet plane . When I was first asked to get Ban 's schedule from the Exhibitions team , everything was pretty hush hush . Apparently , Ban is akin to A - lister artistes at MediaCorp and it would be a pleasure to meet him . So when I finally heard that he was going to be here this weekend , I asked for the schedule once again . And I got it . Ban , the artist of the Containart Pavilion , arrived here last evening .
Q: Why is it so hard to get a schedule for Ban ?

question: One day my sister came and picked me up , and I was relaxing in her car . I had my arms behind my head , thinking of nothing in particular , when suddenly she mentioned that my armpits stank . She did n't say it in a mean or hurtful way , but I was still embarrassed , because it was my body , and it was yet another thing I had to deal with , had to think about , had to mask , had to play down .
Q: Why does the author 's sister 's comment most probably give rise to a sense of embarrassment in the author ?
