today I saw this 3 articles on channelnewsasia which I felt were quite interesting.

Num 1 - Football: AC Milan eye youth base in Singapore

I think its another F1 gimmick because it mentioned

'One of the parties involved is believed to be a local hotel group and negotiations are currently ongoing'

I bet it's must be Hotel Properties and the guy who brought F1 to Singapore.

Anyway, I think it's good because it's gonna be a crowd puller though I think it still will not do much good to local football anyway. Again, it's gimmick and about drawing tourist money from Asia Region.

Num 2 - Singapore opens matchmaking institute in May

I think Singapore is the only country in the world to offer this service. and guess what? they offer S$1,000 scholarship to the first 10 people to sign up for the courses offered.

Apparently, the reason for setting up this institute is because

'
Finding love is getting more difficult because many Singaporeans simply do not have the time. So the new matchmaking institute aims to give singles a hand.'

Singaporean do not have time because it is spent on working to earn more money to fight the inflationary price of normal goods and service.

Yesh, this is my economic lingo. Hahaha I think I quite like economic even though it's not easy. It's very broad, useful and help you to understand about your dollar and sense, how it's affecting you in your everyday life. If I manage to do well for my econ paper this term I might consider taking up a minor in econ. Hohoho.

But anyway, this is stupid. They called it '
Called the Matchmaking Institute Southeast Asia' so the word South East Asia mean that we are going to be a match making hub issit? Inside our database will contain males and females from South East Asia? Or is Singapore gonna be a match making HUB?

Num 3-
SMRT wins international award for "Best Passenger Experience"

They post this article....just after LTA hand out a record fine of S$387,176 to SMRT last month.

I think I don't need to explain anymore.
