News that caught my eye


A Million Dollar Award
S$1m reward for information leading to capture of Mas Selamat. Now that's somewhat interesting. I mean I am into headhunting, maybe if I stop headhunting other people who obviously yield less than 1 million to me and concentrate all my resources into finding Mas - maybe i would be a millionaire? Perhaps?
Government to announce pro-family measures to raise birth rate
Singapore's total fertility rate hit an all-time low of 1.26 in 2004. MPs had asked about what Nordic countries, which have a high female labour participation rate and high birthrate, were doing which Singapore can copy.

This is really interesting, I mean I've known like many people who swore that they are never going to have children due to all the scary stories and costs and commitments. I also known many people who are trying so hard to get one out now.

I think we need to know why God wants us to reproduce. It's a gift of life. It's managing God's assets and nurturing them - sounds like fund management heh?

In any case, I think the govt will have alot of headaches to think of how to attract the couples to procreate, before I become a miniority female in SG who is married with child(ren).
1000 Singaporeans leave the island annually
and no, it's not for sabbatical reasons. It's for good. Migrating to greener pastures whereby bettter quality of life is assured ( translated as: More work life balance, more time to enjoy family time, more space etc or just I am so sick of ERP and the increasing cost of living)
Would I? I dunno, I mean I really like this red dot- who on earth have so much variety of food, cleanliness and peace. But yes I do agree on the space, and the work life balance and the nicer scenary - I am tempted but not that much yet. I'll consider.
Kwon Sang-Woo Announces Wedding Date
Ok before you think I am a nutty overaged fan that glued myself to Korean dramas until my eyes pop up and I survived on Red Bull, the very fact is that I have only watched 1 show by Kwon Sang - Woo and only thinks of him on the rare occassions that my gfs talk abt korean dramas ( i only have 1 or 2 to contribute) but he is one guy that i simply ADORES. When my friend told me that hey Kwon Sang -Woo is getting married, I was like who is that? So I am not at all a true blue loyal fan but I have a soft spot for him.
And for that fact, YES YOU BELONG TO ME so why did u decide to get married? I cannot imagine the pain of the many fans who probably watched more shows about him or ga ga over him and know his statistics by heart etc type. I feel a fraction of your pain.
Kwon Sang Woo - you better change your mind.

A picture of Kwon Sang Woo in case u dunno who he is
