All in a Day's Work

Toured the township of Toa Payoh today, starting from the HDB Hub at Toa Payoh Central. Strolling along Lorong 1, one can sense the air of nostalgia and be transported a decade back in time. Walking through Toa Payoh Park, I noticed the pathetic state of its pond. It was murky, and covered not with duckweed, but leaves. My walk took me all the way to Potong Pasir, past Kim Keat Estate. I saw the workplace of MP Chiam See Tong, but he was away for the Parliamentary debate on the Casino Issue (Which was given the green light, much to the dismay of many religious and social groups).

Today, I went down to Outram and Chinatown to meet Bang Zhi for dinner. We chatted on many issues, including that of entrepreneurship and our new hobbies.

A Penny for my Thoughts? I'll give you my two cents worth

(With reference to my post last week) I was devastated when I saw the price of foot reflexology (SGD3) and body massage (SGD8 to 15) per hour in Batam. The cost of such services there is simply too low!

New Pope Benedict XVI gives first 'urbi et orbi' blessing

VATICAN CITY : The new Pope Benedict XVI appeared on the balcony of St Peter's Basilica on Tuesday to deliver his first "Urbi et Orbi" blessing as the leader of the Roman Catholic Church.

Joseph Ratzinger, 78, shortly after being elected on the second day of the Vatican's secret conclave, gave the blessing before an ecstatic crowd swelling to well over 100,000 people in St Peter's Square.

"Dear brothers and sisters, after the great Pope John Paul II the cardinals have elected me a simple and humble labourer in the vineyard of the Lord," he said shortly after his election was announced, after four rounds of voting. - APF /dt
