Don't discount this as impossible. The F1 cars are full of electronic gadgets. That's also why they turn off the ERP gantries during the race.

It can work in any hotspot that supports wi-fi. But depending on the place that offers wi-fi, to connect, you may need to set up authentication via WEP, WPA, etc. Some places like hotels, the wi-fi is not free like Singapore wireless@sg. Once connected, you may not be able to start application like MSN straight away. Like wireless@sg, you need to login through a browser first. 

No big deal lah.... Just say No, go back to doing what you are doing, ignore them and they will go away. Not as though they put a knife to your throat and force you to listen. 

Here's a map. 

Hey, what's wrong sharing a room with a sister? My family was not well to do (unlike yours staying in a condo) when I was young. We stayed in a 3 room HDB flat, i.e., two bedrooms too. My parents stayed in one room. Three of us, my sister, brother and I stayed in one bedroom. Double deck for me and my brother and my sister slept on a mattress on the floor.

We stayed together like this until we are married and moved out on our own.

Of course there is a need to learn how to respect each other privacy. Other than sleeping, there is nothing much you can do in the bedroom. 

I studied in the living room or kitchen. Anything else you want to do, you use the toilet...you know what i mean?

I don't mind dying.. but don't want to gana this cancer, that cancer.. then end up in hospital and have to pay and pay...

Read this article in CNN:

http://www.cnn.com/2008/HEALTH/03/10/pharma.water1.ap/index.html

"Prescription drugs found in drinking water across U.S.

A vast array of pharmaceuticals -- including antibiotics, anti-convulsants, mood stabilizers and sex hormones -- have been found in the drinking water supplies of at least 41 million Americans, an Associated Press investigation shows.....

....

How do the drugs get into the water?

People take pills. Their bodies absorb some of the medication, but the rest of it passes through and is flushed down the toilet. The wastewater is treated before it is discharged into reservoirs, rivers or lakes. Then, some of the water is cleansed again at drinking water treatment plants and piped to consumers. But most treatments do not remove all drug residue...."

Do you think Newater treatment plant remove such drug residue? Understand Newater is now piped into our reservoir. Is our drinking water safe?

Sorrie hoh…I have left school donkey years ago and now I dunno how schools are like…I also always see students (all types) studying in Macs, National Library, etc. Want to find a seat, especially during weekends also difficult. So I was wondering don’t schools have libraries or study rooms like what my school/college used to have? Also, except for National Library, fastfood outlets are damn noisy…how to study?

Yes, the dim sum at the same place is good. My favourite is the steam carrot cake with the special sauce..

If they go on like that, surely business will drop… my friend also don’t find anything fantastic about the noodles….

Wa lao...that day go to Sunshine Plaza and ordered the Wanton noodle from the supposedly famous Paradiz Wanton Noodle shop... the price has just shot up by 50 cents to 3.50 per plate (small). I know noodle price has gone up but for a small portion of the noodle per plate...is it fair to increase the price by 50 cents?

Anyway, found the standard has dropped too. The noodle was not well cooked and was not "Q" at all..

My last time visiting this stall...

"The man elaborated that for undergrads the going rate is $400 per hour, more that what other girls charge, which is $250 per hour."

How do you know the girl is an undergrad? Show educational certificate before proceeding?

how to go home and make babies?

Then drive to East Coast Park...make babies inside the car loh...

Too bad la...I was in a similar situation a few years back... although my car not so badly damaged and a kind soul even put a note on my windscreen to tell me the vehicle that hit my car, there was nothing I could do to get compensation back from that stupid driver...

First, I try to report police but police said nothing they could do as no witness come forward...the note could not prove anything...

Next, I thought of confronting that stupid driver when I saw his car..but his car was f**cking old and have stretches and dents everywhere...so no proof that his car hit mine...and I guess that's why he anyhow drive..

Lastly, I find no point scretching his old stupid car ... wait got caught for nothing...

So no choice...foot my own bill to repair the damages as I did not want to lose my NCB...

Anyway, curse him like mad already...hope one day his new car also gana damage until bad bad...

Personally...through experience ...more sex does not equate to having more children.... there are many ways to practise safe sex...

So.... these people can enjoy having sex as much as they want but please...don't procreate when you could not afford it...

I propose that the Government should start a sex education programme for these people instead of just looking into handouts....

Agree? Please put up your hands...

Think it is being irresponsible to let your kids suffer this way with you...

Family of 12 faces eviction for not paying bank loan
Ten children, an ailing wife, and a $10,000 dollar debt paint a bleak picture
By E-von Yeung

A FAMILY of 12 has been sent packing, literally, from their flat next month for not keeping up with bank loan payments.

Mr Mohd Ali, 40, his wife Latipah, 35, and their 10 children will soon be evicted from their home, in which they have lived for more than four years.

According to Mr Ali, they owe the bank about $10,000 in arrears and have been unable to pay up.

'We want our family all together. We have some financial problems also. I have a lot to pay,' said Mr Ali.

The picture is bleak. Mr Ali said he earns only about $800 a month as a cleaner, his wife has a heart problem and is unable to work, and they have 10 children to support as well as medical bills to pay.

Already, servicing the bank loan for their 3-room flat in Yishun takes more than $800 a month, he said.

Homeless again
Four years ago, the family had been homeless for two years, living at Busoorah Street and sleeping on cardbard boxes.

They would go to the nearby Sultan mosque for their showers.

The family of 12 had also slept outdoors at Yishun Town Gardens for a month.

From the youngest child, who is two years old, to the eldest, who is 17 years old, the kids had to stop school at times, for up to two years at end.

Both husband and wife fear the possibility that social services might take their children away from them.

'I'm worried we don't have a home. I'm worried about my kids. Every night I pray that God will protect my family,' said Mdm Latipah.

Mr Ali already had problems keeping up with payments to the bank OCBC since the second year they moved in.

Despite receiving a total of about $16,500 worth of aid since March 2004 - from the Community Development Council (CDC), the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore, Yishun Family Services Centre and MP Mr K Shanmugam, among others - Mr Ali's heavy debt did not go away.

Financial prudence key
Mr Ali said his family had moved out of their rental flat more than 4 years ago.

They already had difficulties in meeting the monthly rental of about $300 but yet, Mr Ali went on to buy his sister's flat in Yishun by taking a $150,000 bank loan.

This decision proved to be a burden too heavy to bear.

Mr Shanmugam said that financial management is important when making decisions on property purchases.

He told straitstimes.com: 'When we make financial decision which are bad or imprudent, it's not possible for someone else to come and bail you out.

'But we must try to do the best we can because there are children involved. Our task is to not sit and moralise, but to try and help in whatever we can.'

On behalf of the family, Mr Shanmugam has already appealed to OCBC to grant them more time to repay the bank loan.

He has also written to HDB to expedite a request for a rental flat.

After reviewing the case, HDB has shortened the usual waiting period of 3 1/2 years to six months.

OCBC Bank's Head of Consumer Secured Lending Gregory Chan told straitstimes.com that it is only after exhausting 'all reasonable possibilities' that 'the bank resorts to foreclosure'.

Extensions can be granted on a case-to-case basis, on compassionate grounds, he said.

straitstimes.com understands that OCBC has already extended the original date of eviction from Nov 16 to Dec 31.

The HDB has said it will not and cannot intervene because a loan is a private contract between a mortgager and the bank.

Families like Mr Ali's who are facing financial difficulties do have various alternatives to get help, according to Singapore Children Society's Senior Counsellor Noor Sida Abdullah.

'If they have school-going children, we can assist them with the School Pocket Money Fund. If they require financial assistance, that's where we can link them to the CDC, to self-help agencies. We also work closely with the MP, if they need advocacy.'

But Ms Sida said financial prudence is paramount, and early intervention - or seeking help - before debts become too big to handle.

Still, for Mr Ali and his family, it seems that all avenues of help for this family have been explored, and wandering homeless on the streets may soon become a tragic reality.

Obviously this guy has some mental problems…jailing or caning him does not solve the problem…should send him for treatment…

What's wrong with riding a bike to camp?

Moron officers....just know how to tekan people..wonder they know how to fight a war or not...

there just probably isn't any concrete evidence to prosecute the woman. there may be circumstantial evidence which proves that this woman may have murdered her husband but a court of law cannot use that alone. if they had found the murder weapon in her possession, eye witnesses, any sort of proof beyond any resonable doubt then it's a different story.
many criminals have got away because they got rid of the evidence. it happens in every country, not just malaysia. what's with the mindless bashing?

If I remembered correctly, there was a case in Singapore where this guy was chopped, cooked into curry, wrapped into plastic bag and thrown all over the place. Got weapon found - a wok? Got eye witnesses? No right? But the murderers were charged and convicted in the Singapore's courts through circumstantial evidence, right?

It's not mindles bashing but alamak, this woman stayed in a place with a refrigerator with body parts and the police cannot do anything about it? I find it unbelievable loh...

As a layman, I wonder what sort of evidences the Malaysian police required for this case...the wife stayed in the house until she could not pay the rent...a refrigerator with a dead man's body parts were inside the house all these years...and you still let her go!!!

My goodness, the most ridiculous police case I ever come across...

Just seen the news on TV...the Malaysia police decided not to charge the wife of the Singaporean man who was murdered, chopped into parts and stuffed into a refrigerator for two years. The reason, they can't find enough evidence to charge the wife.

And the funny thing is this high ranking police officer said on TV :"The case is considered solved. We know what happened."

WTF...does it means that if you want to kill someone and get away with it, make sure you chopped the body up and keep it for two years in Malaysia!!!?

nope, may I know why will you had this thinking?

My point is that, since she cant stand the way on how her ex bf treated her, why do she stay in the r/s for more then 3 years? Furthermore, with unknown details on why did Cpl Teo did this and what had happened that leads to their breakup, the details that she spoke to ST may form a unfair image to him.

Agree. I read through her old blog too. Never in her blog did she mentioned that he was possessive, called her 5 times a day, sms, etc. Instead, she kept saying how much she missed him, etc., for example, when he was away in Brunei.

Now why the sudden change of heart? Yes, this guy may be nuts.. but what I think a respectable and responsible ex-gf should do at this point in time is to keep her mouth shut instead of shooting off this one-sided story to the press.

From ST today:

"She said: 'I was like a prisoner when he stopped me from meeting other people and scolded me for smiling at people I speak to, accusing me of flirting.'

Miss Liew broke up with Cpl Teo in March and has been seeing someone else since.

Tempers boiled over and he kicked up a ruckus at her house on five occasions, and stalked her for at least a week when she went out, she claimed.

She added that things got worse and he had threatened to kill her and her family."

Ok, I don't know this guy and what happened between him and his ex-gf. But I think the gf is too quick to talk to the press and said things that will make it worst for this guy. Shouldn't she just kept her mouth shut and as investigation is going on? Why don't she tell the press she is seeing a "she"?
