Tidbits

In the Sunday Times, report about Xiaxue losing some sponsors over remarks about toilets for the handicapped. Good riddance to bad rubbish. It shows they have no integrity. More to the point, it's amazing how some people think (those who complain for the sake of complaining - you know who you are). We're not talking about parking lots here. I wonder if each special toilet is even used once a day by its designed-for user. Of course it's ok to use it if there are no handicap people around. The kicker, handicap associations agree it's ok. What else is there to talk about? Idiots.

Another article in Sunday Times 'debunking' the myth of property. Hello! Which idiot pays for the whole property?! You have to calculate your return based on your investment, i.e. your downpayment and your total mortgage payments. In an up-market, the mortgage is a good thing. You're making leverage work FOR you. Go back to accounting school. You're FIRED!

Problems with your I-Pod Nano? Don't say I didn't tell you. I'm just wondering how long it will be before the pack takes Apple down. 'That, is the sound of inevitability, Mr Anderson'.

Another article in Sunday Times about good bread shops in Singapore. Not one mention of C*** Talk... I wonder why? Another example of Singaporeans behaving like a pack of dogs? Or monkeys? I, for one, have never bothered to patronize them. Looks like I was right.

Finally, came across this really cool looking motorcycle. The Daelim Daystar X5. Comes with many customization options. Only problem is, the engine is only 150cc and the sound is terrible (how good can a 150cc engine sound?). But it sure looks good. The price, on the right side of 8K. I managed to suppress a laugh when the salesman mentioned 'loan', and then '4 years'. I'm tempted. But, it's just not practical. Oh, well...
