hoh hoh hoh MRT ridership hit 52m last month
Now SBS carries 2.682m passengers daily
I was laughing at the Melbourne news just now. Their "Myki" card system, which is Singapore's Transitlink card, took YEARS to develop, and double-digit MILLIONS of investment, and it still cannot be rolled out, needing another two bloody years before it can be used by the public!!
What the hell... very difficult meh? Singapore had it for donkey years liao! They should have sub-contracted the project to Transitlink! 
By the time they roll it out, it will be obsolete liao! -

I think the worst position to be in are the 'New Middle Class' like me and MPB
Coz according to the Government, we are not middle class but with the current living standards, we think otherwise
Actually, you and MPB are living very comfortably.
There are families in Singapore with four mouths to feed and their pay is only about half of yours. Sad...

At one stage, the govt wanted to stop sponsoring as many female med students because they graduate, marry fellow doctors, and then stop working to be housewives!

Putting people into categories is kinda necessary for social and budgetary planning.
At least, I hope that's what they're doing it for!
Over here, I have my own categorisation for the populace :
- The Centrelink folks, ie. the too-lazy-to-work unemployed / drug addicts / alcoholics / geng sick folks who tap into the welfare funds;
- The working class taxpayers like me and the majority;
- The filthy rich and richer class.
Speaking of which... I should go check how much taxes I paid this fortnight!

Facebook can be evil...
Recently, I found a few old old friends, and subsequently, a few other old old friends found me too.
One guy whom I was very very close to, and we would have pak tor'd if not for the fact that he couldn't forget his first love and got reunited with her, is now married to her, and they have two beautiful kids, boy and girl, and they have lived for the past few years in Washington, D.C. and he works for the International Monetary Fund!!!
When I saw his profile, I burst into tears and told God that He must not love me very much at all!
I wasn't supposed to end up this way...

Actually, come to think of it, most of my old old church friends are doing so very well.
A few of us have migrated! And those who remain in Singapore are married with kids and earning good incomes.
Envious...
