So I have an unwelcome break for the last 1 month or so.
And I took the opportunity to pack my room, filing, change computers, etc. Those mundane stuffs.
So mundane that I realised that there wasn't anything amusing in my life for me to blog. Nothing interesting happened in my life. Nothing interesting happened in Singapore.... unless you consider Alex Man's saga as interesting, Singapore has been rather "quiet".
However, yesterday's Straits Times brought a little laugh in me.
Story No.1
Driver charged with taking and giving bribes.
Consider him lucky.
If he is found quilty of such charge in European Union, they will also charged him with the following:
Driver charged with taking and giving bribes as well as carrying an imitation LV bag.
If you are not aware, EU can fine you if they see you holding an imitation of the top European brands. They can even do so at the Airport over at the custom.
Story no.2
Forum page, letter no.1
Three Lessons for Singapore from Mourinho's exit
Chelsea's charismatic Manager quit last week, a shock in the football fraternity. But to think that someone in Singapore could actually linked up that story with Singapore, shocks me too.
Lesson no.1: There is no such thing as permanent job security, no matter how special you are. The writer says, if Jose Mourinho can lose his job, so can anyone.
Lesson no.2: If you have good set of cards, don't complain that it's not perfect. The writer highlighted that Mourinho has good players but when he loses, he complained about every other thing. The writer goes on to link this with the CPF interest rate increase. He is implying that we have a good system but we still complain about the CPF system.
Lesson no.3: Know what is important in life. Mourinho says that he is more concerned about the bird flu than a rival team pulling away from his team. The writer goes on to say "How important really are CPF changes, enbloc rules and many other things that consume our time? Are there more important things we are missing?"
Story no.3
Sex Survey by Durex
I will highlight those that I thought was interesting.
Sexually active Singaporeans aged 20 to 65, either single or married, who:
- Have sex at least once a week: 67%
- Would like to have sex more than once a week: 63%
- Masturbate once a week: 39%
From this I can derive that
- 4% (67% - 63%) of the 67% who have sex at least once a week, think that once a week is the most they would want. I can only think that this 4% are women. As you know, man can have sex anytime, many times a week.
- Of the 63% who would like to have sex more than once a week, but not getting any more, almost 39% of the 63%, masturbate once a week. And I can only think that these 39% are men, while the remaining 24% of the 63% are women. As you know, man can masturbate anytime, many times a week.
- And since 24% of the 63% are women, and only 4% of the 67% think that once a week is the most they would want, the remaining 20% or so of the women would like to have sex more than once a week, but are not getting any.
- This means 20% of the women wanted to have more sex per week but their husband prefers to masturbate, which suggest that perhaps the wife is not desirable.
