Beware... All Ye Drivers!

If you have a driving license, and are intending to (or already have) get a car in the near future, here are some links for a good read:

This one's about faulty tires, similar to the Firestone recall in 2000.


And this one is about a bad design of a car which failed terribly in a German car crash test.

No prizes for guessing which country these automobile/products came from.

What a Shitty Day

Ever seen a pile of human waste in the common shower area of a public swimming pool?

I have.

What Kills You?

You can be the richest person in the world, or the smartest person in the world. You may have all the cars and houses, all the gold and jewelery. You could also be very streetwise and knowledgeable.

Apart from the old saying "curiosity killed the cat", there's another one.

Old age will kill you.

On The Bus #26... or The Singlish Mom

So there was this kid and his mother on the bus.

The mother took out a chinese assessment book from the kid's bag, presumably to check on his work from school.

The kid said in Singlish, "I anyhow write one!"

The mother kept quiet and flipped open the kid's book. She glared at the kid's work and replied angrily back at her kid, "Aiyoh, why liddat?" She gave a frown and put the book back into the bag.

The morale of the story? Don't expect an apple tree to grow out from a durian seed you planted.
