    Running shoes for recommendation

    Parking prices up in Chinatown for CNY

    :D just a humourous side note wrt this post, I think the bulk of singapore problems lie in the numerous parking lots we have. imagine if parking lots were removed, less people will buy cars, with less people buying cars, more will take public transport, with more crowded public transport, people...

    Welfare in Singapore: The stingy nanny - The Economist

    By the way most poor people are poor for a reason...and stubborness to change is usually the reason...My officer used to say one has made it in life if he can speak and write well, and with luck and hardwork, it should be smooth sailing when it comes to earning a living...

    is it true nurses in NZ earn an average of $60K basic per annum(many immigration sites claim this)? When I was in Auckland last year I have seen ads in the newspapers offering $2K basic per month for a midwife...quite inconsistent...any ideas Sam?

    My cousin bought his flat $130k in 1995..now..

    anyway i think we are barking up the wrong tree...the govt though indulging in thug like behavior has done a good job, they are like the 51-49 majority, of 100 things they do 49 are bad and 51 are good...main problems lies with the banks who are private, as the interest they offer is very low...
