She had made an ever stupid remark on 27 yr-old TT, as woman vs man. It has nothing to do with whether woman or man, but experience and know-how. A 27-yr old can remain be groomed, not in the parliament, but grassroot. Purposely create a group to put pressure on hawkers not to raise prices! Just a show lah, a 3 yr old child also know the logic of "fur is out from sheep". Why don't tackle at the roots of the causes??? Fuel price, raw materials price, etc too far from controlling??? Then zoom in at rental lah. Why put pressure on innocent and don't do "elites'" job???

Interesting finding… do u heard of such story…… http://img708.imageshack.us/img708/7182/95524354.png Ever spotted the difference? I wonder how many of you noticed the differences between a more dated $1 coin and one that is more recently created. I’m sure most of us know that MM Lee is a believer of fengshui. Besides the octagonal shape of our $1 coin, there’s something else people missed out. Take a look at the close up of this coin dated 1990: http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/2129/35144086.png That was how the back of our $1 coin looked. Notice the banner right above “1990″ and the invisible arc line formed between the animals’ heads – they are both arched downwards. Remember the Asian Financial Crisis that happened back in 1997 which hit Singapore pretty badly? It was said that MM Lee consulted a fengshui shi fu about what he could do to improve the situation caused by the Asian Financial Crisis, and the fengshui shi fu swiftly gave a solution, that is the change the way the back of the coin is designed. The shi fu pointed out that the design resembled a sad face: The Singaporeans are already so upset over the financial crisis, yet the $1 coin still has a sad looking face. How can?!! Change change change!” he said. And change we did. Take a look at the design on our 1997 coin: http://img717.imageshack.us/img717/1182/18816312.png How does it look to you? It sure looks like a smiley face to me. Now you tell me lah, fengshui is important, but what would we do in a world without designers?!

True, oppositions have "nothing to gain, but everything to lose". Voters appreciate this? Why don't let them try to be MPs for a term & judge their performamce? Better than a 27 yr-old MP-would be through the door of GRC, right? PAP has always under-estimate the power of public opinion. They ignored therefore under-estimated such. A killing point for politicians.

Answer: 吃饱没事找事干， 这不行呀那不可，这边长呀那边短。。。。。。。do till stomach making noise, sigh!

By RIGHT, what need to be done only include her name in the occupier list, change her IC address within 28 days. By LEFT, what if she has a hdb flat under her name? This one I don't know , must ask the PAP elites who set the policy.

SWEE, well done, hdb keeps it up!

Stomach not full ppls in 1960s, stayed in rented rooms without doors but only string-curtains, swee swee, remaining days carried on.... Now, own property, this one bo swee, that one problem.... WHERE/WHAT's the problem lies ?

Land lease is quite a concern for HDB flats( actually for all commercial/residential properties), though not obvious now, in coming 10 years or so, will see the impacts on HDB pricing(new hdb flats' price pegged to resale price), I foresee. http://mycpf.cpf.gov.sg/CPF/Templates/SubP...HEHINT=Guest#Q3 - There is a stupid cpf rule of 30:80 for residential properties which built on leasthold(L99,L999) or FH. Can't activate cpf $ to buy properties with less than 30yr lease, AND, the remaining lease must last you up to at least 80 yr old. Confusing right? Eg, remaining lease = 99-40 = 59yr. Say, now you are 30 yr old, still have 80-30=50yr to live - condition 1: remaining least > 30yr old, yes, can buy. - condition 2(age): remaining lease in term of year > (80- present age), 59>50, so you can buy Under condition 2: which implies that only "older" buyers can satisfy this. Imagine, now a 21yr old. 80-21 =59, so 59>=59. 2012, 58>=80-22 2013, 57>=80-23 2014, 56>=80-24 so on and so for... Before buying the present 1979-built 5rm in 2009 Aug, I'd advised wife & MIL on this(leasehold issue), better to choose those in Tampines or punggol. They insisted, I surrendered. Anyway, I have no intention to sell away this one. Cosmetic/outlook of staying environment is always an issue to younger ppl, but not for older ppls. Why?, who can answer this?

HDB loan int rate now at 2.6% is the "blood sucker". Bank rates NOW are much much better than this.

The Hard Truths are: • Hard to find a job. $1K salary difficult to find meh? $60k pa at 30 yr-old sure difficult lah. • Hard to start a family. Don't want committment, responsibility, sacrify, keep switching "partners" sure hard to start, even started hard to hold. • Hard to buy a house or HDB. Want enjoyment, everywk end "tiong", holidays few times a yr, spend more than earn, sure hard to buy one. • Hard to buy a car. Difficult meh?, put $1 and can drive away liao. • Hard to be happy with the ever rising costs of living. Never contented, ever earned the whole world would never be happy. • Hard to save for retirement. No $ to give parents, got $ to keep pets. Don't want kids, want onlt pets, retirement got hope meh? • Hard to get health care. Drink lah, tiong lah, smoke lah, late late go to bed lah, gambling lah, sure no $ to see doctor. • Hard to believe that Singapore is the happiest and safest place on earth. Who say these huh? • Hard to convince the authority that public transportation is overcrowded. Ask elites to "spot ride" in peak hrs lor. Say no use, action!. Never ending story.......

Another perspective on "donation" -Mark 12: 41-44 12:41 耶 稣 对 银 库 坐 着 ， 看 众 人 怎 样 投 钱 入 库 。 有 好 些 财 主 ， 往 里 投 了 若 干 的 钱 。 And he took a seat by the place where the money was kept, and saw how the people put money into the boxes: and a number who had wealth put in much. 12:42 有 一 个 穷 寡 妇 来 ， 往 里 投 了 两 个 小 钱 ， 就 是 一 个 大 钱 。 And there came a poor widow, and she put in two little bits of money, which make a farthing. 12:43 耶 稣 叫 门 徒 来 ， 说 ， 我 实 在 告 诉 你 们 ， 这 穷 寡 妇 投 入 库 里 的 ， 比 众 人 所 投 的 更 多 。 And he made his disciples come to him, and said to them, Truly I say to you, This poor widow has put in more than all those who are putting money into the box: 12:44 因 为 他 们 都 是 自 己 有 余 ， 拿 出 来 投 在 里 头 。 但 这 寡 妇 是 自 己 不 足 ， 把 她 一 切 养 生 的 都 投 上 了 。 Because they all put in something out of what they had no need for; but she out of her need put in all she had, even all her living.

Singapore how big? 17km north to south, 34km east to west. No matter where the plant built, once leak, all kena, including neighbouring countries. Lee talked abt this at wrong time.

Correct lah, should form, run and properly maintain some town councils first then talk about selling insurance to the commoners.

Provided the secret weapon aim at right target and trigger at right timing, otherwise it is just another "white elephant". What Lau TK siad is correct: opposition must "get" a GRC, then PAP will scare and really open their ears listen to commoners. MIL told me recently saw Lee YS with "grassroot" leaders at bedok hawker center sitting on chair & ordered food. One of the "leader" put a "tissue" round Lee's under cheek, wow lau carry the ball till like that, these "leaders" should be shot dead.

Another - when one in desperation, "anything" & "everything" also try. When one's needs are fulfilled, then this one cannot, that one also cannot. Why like that? Generally Japnese are rich, I would prefer to donate to the Thail girl who lost her legs.

Congrat ! finally you mind has "straightened up".

Correct! 100%. Goh CT has done quite some to improve liao. LKY time worse still - want come, don't want here you go. Politic is like that, so many policies are actually in place(They proundly say " we have", when ppls ask how they help ppls) BUT make procedures so complicated till ppls half way give up "voluntarily" - Elites always use this tactic without fail ! The only way to deal with "elites" is not to authorise them anything by using your rights, then they will be L L. Looked at Mah BT, before contesting, got wind here & there but when lost to Chiam ST, he L L and kept quite and toned down a lot.

What do you think: WP chief will contest in SMC or GRC, why? Where the "secret weapon" will go to?

If nobody wants the alarm clock, can give it to me, I don't mind.

True enought that wind, water, light, fire, aircon at "our finger tips". Why still pay money to fsms to tell us to shift stove lah, refrig, sink lah, coverup tiolet lah??? Only answer is "stomach" too full. When one's stomach is empty, "anything" & "everything" also "CAN". When stomach is full, many "innovative" ideas and pattern liao liao.

So many doorways, so when urge come need to visit tiolet, high possibility to go into wrong doorways and bump into partition, esp at night suddenly wake up.

Sell then stay where?, PAP gov very caring one , can apply first, then wait long long, till you get keys for BTO then sell yr house. Get keys for BTO till the completion of selling house (so call 2nd appointment) must be within 6 months. This queries repeated many times liao till I can remember.

A sudden appearance of "secret weapon" is not a good thing, especially just returned from "oversea". Should have more public exposure, as much as possible . He should contect in GRC, together with heavy heavy weight figures in a more WP-pro constituency, eg Aljunied or East Coast. Goh CT from NOL, pulled Lim BH from NOL, now Lim is retired, Parliament will be filled with ppls mostly from NTUC & MINDEF, why like that? Quite worrying should real emergency breakout, what will be their finall decision and action? Bye bye singapore? Should have more ppl background like Teo SL, from private sector.

PAP thought he is everyone's "ah gong". Ah gong can lecture ppls, can treathen not to give you rice to eat, can do anything he wishes to do.

Giving clock = "送终" pronounciation in Cantonese. "送终" = send to last point of life. Such act can't be considered as a "custom" but related to "意头“. "Superstitious" ppls care much about "意头". "意头" has nothing to do with feng shui, but related to one's mentality. I'm a Teochew, wife's godmother( who brought wife up since wife a todler) is a typical cantonese. I don't mind ppls give me clocks. Next, not a good practice to hang objects on wall where ppls can pass through/under. Same applies to no(best not to) hanging objects on top of bedhead. Simply ones don't know when it will "accidentally" drop down. Same for ceiling lighting/fans, wall mounted objects etc, as less as possible if possible to ensure safefty. These are hidden and potential "dangers". Feng shui deals with dangers. During house audit, fsms should have stressed these instead of what directions, water, fire, salt lah, etc, tio bo?
