Story Of A Poor Shenzhen Boy
Oct 20, 2008 Life, Money, Terrible Stuffs
This is a poor little school boy in Shenzhen, China. His 60 years old father is illed, out of job. To help the family, every evening, this boy will go to a bus interchange in Shenzhen. He waits there, with a plastic bag. When bus comes, he will climb up the bus, search for plastic bottles, or any other stuffs that can be sold for money, that are left on the bus. He is fast. One bus after another, climbing up and down, squeezing with adults who are boarding and alighting buses, he carries on with his search. After a whole evening of hardwork, he may earn as much as 5RMB for his family…

Oct 18, 2008 Life
Wow, 70 years old of marriage! That’s unbelievable.
A couple who met on a blind date on Magdalen Bridge, Oxford, in 1934, celebrated 70 years of marriage with a meal out in Bladon and a card from the Queen.
Basil and Joan Clinkard (née Gibbs), both 91, also enjoyed a tea party attended by four generations of family members.

Mother And Daughter Tag-Team Selling Sex
Oct 9, 2008 Funny News, Life, Stupid Stuffs
Who are interested? They advertised on Craiglist, spotted by police, got caught.
Young and Smith, plus Young’s boyfriend, David Riley, 29, who also lived in the house, were arrested by police yesterday after an undercover cop, posing as a john, entered their basement lair. Cops were tipped off by complaints about the nuisance house and began surveillance on the trio about three weeks ago. Investigators found the Craigslist ad around Sept. 30.
Young had a different take, telling TV reporters as she did the perp walk into the police van: “It’s a messed up world out there. We have to do this just to get by.”
When pressed by reporters as to what they had to do, Young responded, “Not much. Just massages and stuff.”

Einhoven Encourages Prostitutes To Leave Their Trade By Giving “Street Miles”
Oct 8, 2008 Around the Word, Life
To me, this kind of government is truefully care for it’s people, regardless their social status, their occupations.
The city of Eindhoven is giving out credits, dubbed “street miles”, in return for good behaviour.
The points can then be exchanged for free designer clothes or furniture, provided the prostitutes take up an offer by the city council to pursue a career change and a safer lifestyle.

15-Year-Old Hates Singapore
Can someone help him?
And im 15. I hate the way people operate around here. I hate the system. I want to get out of the system. But how?
Lets just say, school here is a waste of time in my honest opinion. I mean, they teach you stuff that you dont need to know, like trigometry, algebra, which dont help at life at all. Chem, physics, do you need those at all? Plus, school takes up like 7 hours at least here. Don’t we teens need time to engage at other sports or activities? Normally after school i’d be drained and too tired to do anything at all! But i do agree that languages are important, perhaps literature(it really lets u think deep, matures kids faster, well at least, to me). The basic maths and sciences all that are needed mostly, as we dont measure buildings or create new chemicals in our free time! Perhaps people could opt for better subjects when they want, like a “upgrade” or a stepping stone to a career path they wish for. School is too much for kiddies and teenies already. Want us to be fit but also want us to study so damn much. Its like asking a beggar for money.
NS, one more god-damn stuff all males gotta go through. And its a must. Wasting 2 years and subsequent weeks years after isnt what i opt for. I rather work my ass off and get proper money. Fitness isnt an issue, anyone can get themselves fit if they want to! Defending Singapore, reasonable, but 2 ****ing years is too much, how long do u need to learn how to kill(Or whatever they do inside). They say they want to bond men in NS, yeah, for **** sake, what happens after NS, they forget each other! I studied in S.S that NS also plays apart for our multi-racial society, bull****, from what i learn, I even find adults being more immature then me.
And foreign workers, aint there too much of them? I mean, i dont mind some, but, i see them everywhere!
Sorry, ive got this wall of text, but i gotta let em all out. I’m closing in depression already, thinking of how to get out of this damn country after poly. Singapore makes me blame my parents for not wearing a condom. What are your views?
EDIT: Ok, sorry for not stating this, but i only welcome sincere discussion, not dissin. I just want to see what are your views. Really.
S1, This Number Plate Sold For £397,500, World Record
Sep 21, 2008 Around the Word, Life
£397,500 for a number plate, this is world record.
The historic plate was the first registration number to be issued in Edinburgh and it belonged to a leading pioneer of motoring.
The previous word record was £331,500 for “M1″ (did M1 bid for it? kekeke)
Number plate, to poor guy like me, it is just a number, or maybe another number for Toto or 4D. But to those rich guys, it is an investment, something to represent their social status… See the difference?
Number plate sells for world record price of nearly £400,000
