No One Knows Everything: Please give PRs a break!
http://earthevent.blogspot.com/2008/09/please-give-prs-break.html
No One Knows Everything. Please give PRs a break! Extracted from The Straits Times 06 Sep 2008. Nearly half my colleagues are also PRs or work permit holders, or "Foreigners" for short. I guess my colleagues and I are "Foreign Workers" because we don't live in a condo and earn a five-digit salary. Those who do are called "Expatriates". So why are we always left out? So why did I became a PR? So Why are we penalised? Now that the childcare subsidy has been doubled, can't PRs get at least half the amount?

No One Knows Everything: 回教为何禁吃猪肉
http://earthevent.blogspot.com/2008/11/blog-post_19.html
No One Knows Everything. 因各大种族混居的缘故，回教徒禁食猪肉的习俗常被误读成族群间的矛盾。在非回教徒华人眼里，猪肉乃是赖以生存的主要食物之一，故对所有牵涉养猪的议题，都秉持捍卫“民族权利”的态度。所以，禁忌顿时变成一种民族身份意识、信仰虔诚的象征意义，格外敏感。 许慎《说文解字》指猪为“豕字象毛足而后有尾形。”猪的象形字为“豕”（拼音：shǐ），“豬”字则演化成的形声字。自甲骨文普及化，先人已创造“豕”字。“豕”是猪的抽象轮廓图，突出其大腹、垂尾、短足的特征。 如按以上描绘推论，中国古代的猪喜欢吃污秽，不排除豢养在厨房旁、厕所边、坑边等地。有些猪舍通风条件差，地面长期积水积尿，猪关在栏中脏、粪尿到处都有，像坐“水牢”，臭气熏天。 所以，世界万物是供人享受的，《可兰经》第五章筵席（Al-Maidah）87-88节说，“信道的人们啊！真主已准许你们享受的佳美食物，你们不要把它当作禁物，你们不要过份。你们当吃真主所供给你...回教是有饮食禁忌的宗教，教徒应吃合法（Halal）食物，并以合法手段（Lawful mea...由于食物都是上苍创造给人类，上苍绝对有权力设禁忌&...

No One Knows Everything. Say farewell to my long time friend - BRAND. Today I went to NTUC Supermarket and wanted to buy the BRAND'S Essence of Chicken with American Ginseng. I was frighten by the sudden selling price hike! The price has been adjusted to S$19.50 ( Original price S$16.50 ). It is sad to know that the price is marking too much up, despite the current fuel price and economy downturn. What are the execuses will be given this time?

No One Knows Everything. Singapore attractions too pricey for families. By Daryl Tan, June 9, 2008. The Straits Times. THEY are the crown jewels of Singapore attractions, drawing thousands of visitors each day. Yet parents say that high admission fees and miscellaneous charges at spots like the Night Safari or Singapore Flyer are pricing them beyond a regular family's reach.
