EXERCISE AGAIN? It's 34°C. It's hot. It's humid. It's peak hour heavy traffic. Every day is a struggle for him, Minister, and it is glaringly obvious he isn't exercising under such trying and adverse conditions.

Saw this guy on fb trying to argue with people who support Chee and SDP. He thinks it is perfectly okay for all PAP MPs to be part-timers because they are driven by passion unlike the opposition. He is young yet he joined PAP IB. And he said it's because PAP gave his family a house when they were homeless. He really thinks Birdie and the PMO helped his family personally.

We were unable to pay our rental and our suppliers, let alone our own bills. We spoke tothe foodcourt operator to release us from the contract but they wnt us to look for a replacement. We have asked around, advertised on facebook, went to rental agents, and interested parties either backed off once they saw the crowd, or got turned off by the rental rates.

I bought (ICool 50,000 mAh quad-port power bank) on mid December last year. To my surprise, I could only use this charger for 2 weeks!

I will never buy technology products from Groupon anymore!
