How To Pacify A Jealous Hubby

My wife recently went to a company function at the Ministry Of Sound(No,this ministry does not have any tight-ass minister in charge).Naturally,I turned into a green-eyed monster.In order to pacify my jealousy,my wife forked out a considerable amount of money to buy me a gadget.Huhu.However,come this December when my company is planning a trip to Bintan for some 'team-building' activities,it could also be my turn to burn a hole in my wallet.Most likely to buy some overpriced handbag.Sad but true

How To Encourage Sporeans To Have More Babies

Next month,the Gahmen is going to announce new measures to boost the birthrate. C'mon Singaporeans,if you dont procreate/fornicate/reproduce/rock the Kasbah fast enough,you deserve to be replaced by immigrants.I hope the new measures would include

1. Nationwide campaign to encourage polygamy and all the medical costs to be borne by the Gahmen
2. Be more flexible in allowing Starhub Cable to air more erotic educational channels
3. Free supply of ginseng/viagra/tongkat ali to all eligible (alpha)males.
4. 3 months paternity leave so that the dads can spend time at home playing video games looking after the baby.
5. Free childcare
6. Allowance of $200 a month
   

I'm proud to announce that my wife is pregnant again. Coz nowadays not many women can conceive. So alhamdullilah this is the 3rd child. Of course we are still not sure whether it is a gal or a boy. I would like to have another boy, but my wife would like to have a girl. Lets see ......

Would You Buy Sentosa Cove or Costa Del Sol?

Sentosa Cove probably cost 10 million bucks and is touted as the most prestigious address in world.Yeah,I know I might not be able to afford it in this lifetime.However,Sentosa was once known as Pulau Blakang Mati .That doesnt sound so sexy now,does it?Other not-so-sexy facts:-

1. Low Tide, can smell the discharge (shit) from the Container Ships & other marine users,..occasional flotsam' in the form of discarded pallets, ropes,..stuff that the MPA garbage boat cannot scoop-up (cos' boat's too small),..washed up the Embankment, next the the bungalows.

2. Current Traffic congestion,..and subsequent speed-limit-cum-speed-radar (additional govt.income) generating machines,..so, that nice, fancy high-rpm car of the resident - would have to go to the workshop more often,..to adjust the timings,etc,..

3. The spacing between houses - is much too tight'. Privacy is afforded by air-conditioning whole unit - which is stupid, considering the abduance of sea-breeze - but the sea breeze sometimes smells,...

4. I can't find any house there that - really is Tropical-Friendly. This estate, currently is nothing but a competition of the different egos of people with money (or credit-line), plus the one-upmanship' prodding influence of many big-headed architects,...it's nothing but a "one-upmanshi--my place-is-nicer-than-yours-game" there,..but the overall picture gives nothing but an impression of a high-class, abeit-poor-taste-squatter.

5. The sense of neighbourliness/hood will be strained - when one family does have a party and invite guests...because when outsiders do drive in,..the roads are too narrow to accomodate,..and outsider-vehicled WILL encroach on another's frontage - thus creating tension',..this place is simply too dense to be positioned as "high class" <-but I guess the ultimate developers simply want to squeeze the most out of the limited land.

Yup, Costa Del Sol is in Malaga & Tenerife. Med seas, beautiful WHITE SANDY beaches (not like our oil reeked seas & rubbish laden beaches), all-you-can eat tapas, cheap & fresh seafood (no more fake Fish & Co type of seafood), beautiful & bountiful tanned Malenas (much better than our cup A sinkie gals) & best of all, cheaper than Sentosa Cove,only $500,000(Sing dollars)Dont worry if you cant speak Spanish can always learn from those friendly Senioritas

If you prefer somewhere nearer,there's always Joondalup in Perth,where you wake up to the breeze of the magnificent Indian ocean

Are Exams Becoming Too hard?

ARE schools being too tough on students by setting hard exam papers? So hard it's bruising students' egos and hurting their confidence?

Ms Jessica Chong, mother of a Primary 6 pupil at CHIJ St Nicholas Girls School, seems to think so.

In a letter to The Straits Times, published on the Forum page on Tuesday, she claimed that half her daughter's class at the school failed a mathematics paper recently, while in another class, only four passed.

Ms Chong said the 'atrocious results' had affected her daughter's 'desire to study hard, her creativity and her self-confidence'.

The New Paper made several attempts to reach the school's principal and the head of its mathematics department for their views. We waited 45 minutes at the school's office yesterday, but could not speak to them.

We spoke to six other parents whose children are sitting for the PSLE this year, and four felt schools were setting exam papers that were too tough.

Mrs Nah Kiat Yong, a homemaker in her late 40s, said: 'It's going from bad to worse. Even an adult (can't) answer some of the questions.'

Dr Lai Ah Eng, an expert in family and demography studies, who also has a son in Primary 6, said some school exams are harder than the PSLE exams.

'Why? It will not necessarily mean the students will do better in the PSLE with more difficult exams,' she noted.

'It could put them off studying and make parents more anxious. Everyone ends up feeling demoralised.'

Dr Yeo Seow Woon, a mother of four, said that in her daughter's junior college, 80 per cent of the cohort failed the biology paper.

'You want to challenge students, that's fine, but teachers must know where to draw the line,' she said.

Madam Aini, 45, a civil servant, said her son goes for extra classes in school three times a week and also has extra tuition. He has been complaining of headaches and feeling 'stressed'.

'Kids are being pushed very hard now. It's a bit ridiculous,' she said.

Ms Jenna Luen, 25, a social worker who counsels primary school pupils and their parents, said that after juggling remedial classes in school, tuition and a heavy load of homework, 'the average PSLE student has no time for rest or relaxation'.

TOUGH EXAMS NEEDED

But some parents are all for tough exam papers. A housewife who wanted to be known only as Mrs Cheng said: 'Every year, there will be two or three trick questions in the PSLE. School exams must be more difficult than that, so students still have a chance of getting A-stars.

'Schools want students to know the PSLE isn't easy. They want to encourage the students to work harder. If you set an exam that is too easy, they may get complacent and won't study.'

Mrs June Yee, 46, trusts the schools and teachers with taking care of their students' academic well-being. 'The teachers are experts in their field, I think we should respect their expertise, instead of making a fuss,' she said.

Madam Heng Boey Hong, principal of Nanyang Primary School, who is known for setting challenging exam papers, said there are ' different levels of readiness among the children'.

'Many of those who come to my school are ready for challenging tasks, and they would be extremely bored if they get questions that are too easy,' she said. 'We have to stretch the ones who are strong, but we also have to manage those who need more time. It's an extremely fine line to manage.'

Madam Heng also said that for the preliminary exams, the teachers would not set papers which are too difficult, because with the PSLE looming, the children 'need a morale booster'.

Last year, no one in the school failed their PSLE, though 20 to 40 children would fail the school's exams, she said.

However, Mr Yong Cheng Huat, principal of Stamford Primary School, said: 'There is no necessity to set harder exam papers. We just need to make sure the students are prepared.

'I don't see them having a stronger advantage even if we set harder papers... Doing poorly in an exam may discourage the students.'

Why Gorgeous Girls Are Happier With uglyPlain Guys

Hurray to all those Average Joes!!!







Yes..ladies its true so put your eyes back into their sockets.Women who marry handsome men had better watch out. Men who saw themselves as better looking than their wives were more likely to be disgruntled and have negative feelings about their marriage, experts found.A University of Tennesse study suggested most men who married attractive women were happy to bask in the glory of their partner's beauty.

But Professor Jim McNulty reported: "Men who were more attractive than their partner demonstrated a tendency to offer less emotional and practical support to their wives."

He said "evolutionary perspectives" offered an explanation.

"Attractive men have available to them more short-term mating opportunities.

"This may make them less satisfied and less committed to the marital relationship."

Strathclyde University psychologist Alastair Ross said many men enjoyed the prestige of having a beautiful wife.

"Men are rated as more likeable and friendly when they have a wife who is very attractive," he added.
