Are You Affected By The Haze Recently??? :-)

With the end of the haze situation no where in sight, many Singaporeans must be feeling helpless when the PSI reading starts to ascend. It is interesting to note some of the Indonesian Ministers' comments that "Indonesia's neighbours should be thankful for oxygen on good days rather than complain about bad ones": an interesting line of argument. Following this logic or "illogic", it would be fine to give people adulterated water once a while, if we have been giving them water!!!!! What do you think? Nearer to home, what would you do when the PSI shoots up? It would be interesting to hear your views and comments. We are updated on the PSI reading on the TV screen regularly. One webpage that shows the hourly PSI readings is the NEA website. (click here to view) I check it regularly and if the PSI gets really bad, I close all the windows and doors and stay indoors. What about you? What do you do; like to share with fellow members? :-)

The only difference is Cho sums it up with a slightly different twist spiced up with his southern twang. ....Read more...

Banker joke - Time for a laugh One night at an economy motel, a banker ordered a 6 a.m. wake-up call. The next morning, he awoke before 6, but the phone did not ring until 6:30. "Good morning," a young man said sheepishly. "This is your wake-up call." Annoyed, the banker let the motel worker have it. "You were supposed to call me at 6 AM! He complained, "What if I had a million dollar deal to close this morning, and your oversight made me miss out?" "Well, sir," the desk clerk boldly replied, "if you had a million dollar deal to close, you'd probably not be staying at THIS motel!"
