And therein lies the biggest flaw of the CPF system. Why must you let GIC and Temasek decide where to invest your hard earned money? Can Schooling's parents choose not to invest in Swiber or StanChart but in their son? No they can't. They are forced to hand over a substantial fraction of their...

Probably got the idea from Redwood Shores. GIC had an outfit there.

Wei loong, not fei loong.

Hard to find pork lard cracklings in the Bay Area but I finally did --- Luu Noodle offers them for free (need to ask) if you dine in or 50 cents for a small container if you take out.

Slapping is not a crime in Singapore. Just ask Dhanabalan.

Interesting. I always thought these were imported from China. Where did you find them for $4.50? They used to come in white but are now only available in navy blue and black.

This Ang Moh country MRT started operations in the 19th century. People there have been enjoying MRT services for a century before the first MRT tunnel was even dug in Singapore.

Try Shiok in Menlo Park.

That's right. If they could choose whether to remain under British rule or be ruled by the communist scumbags after 1997, there's no doubt which they would have chosen. Even the Taiwanese would much rather be ruled by the Japanese than by communist scumbags from China.

Wangfujing?

The shops in Great Mall carry mostly off-season stocks from last year or the year before. Also, the fashion stores there are at best second tier brands. You won't find Gucci or Louis Vuitton or Versace. The really loaded Ah Tiongs don't shop there.

Strongest tremors I ever felt. Other times I couldn't even tell apart an earthquake from a heavy truck driving past. This time there was no mistake. Woke me up even though I'm on the peninsula 60 miles away from Napa. Thank goodness it's over in 10 seconds (from the time I woke). Folks here seem...

My theory is that BART is responsible for spreading Oakland crimes to all cities along the Richmond-Fremont line.

That's because "Bras Basah" is itself a misspelt word --- should have been "Beras Basah".

That's In-N-Out Burger. Not your average fast food. Even Obama eats there when he visits California. http://www.inquisitr.com/544415/ang-lee-in-n-out-burger/ http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2008/04/what-does-gordo.html...

From your pictures, I suspect you're proud because the planes look so cool. Remember that they are all foreign designed and foreign made. Even the SIA logo was designed by an American firm and the Sarong Kebaya uniform was designed by a French fashion designer. All Singapore did was to take...

Desmond Kuek's Bachelor of Arts is in Engineering. Oxford and Cambridge's undergraduate degrees are all Bachelor of Arts. The Oxbridge Master of Arts is an honorary degree automatically conferred upon anyone with an Oxbridge B.A. after six years. Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science are...

China can bankrupt the United States? Why don't the Ah Tiongs go ahead and do it, if only to spite the Americans for beating them at the Olympics medal tally. This is ridiculous nonsense. China buys large quantities of US debt to keep the value of its own currency low so that the Chinese may...

Really? Junk State? Then why is the US government paying negative real interests on its bonds? http://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/data-chart-center/interest-rates/pages/textview.aspx?data=realyield i.e. people are lending their money to the US government at negative interest rates...

These are 47 signs that you do not understand economics. All these are saying is that America is exporting its low-end jobs to China and enjoying the cheap products that are manufactured in China and then shipped back to America. Take the Jeep Grand Cherokee for example (item 12 in your...
