Woo... I like this... Says quite a lot about our education system which has zero tolerance for failure. What kind of values are we imparting to our children?

Good advice from YN
For those of us who are stressed out by school or work, there are 2 things that matters most in this world:
1) Life
2) Sanity
And we should strive not to lose either in our pursuit of goals.

Nice quote for those of you still having exams or work stress:

When one door closes another door opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us.

Pasar Malam Theory
Was watching Women on Top hosted by Quan Yifeng, one guy interviewed gave this interesting theory about how Singaporean guys are still 'hot' even when they get older...
His Pasar Malam theory about S'porean guys:
Some Singaporean guys are like the bags in pasar malam, going at 3 for $10. Singaporean women won't give two hoots about them because they are not designer goods. However, these bags have something important about them-- they are made in Singapore. When we take these 'bags' and put them on sale in other markets such as China and Vietnam, their prices skyrocket. Why? Because there are 4 things inside the bag...
1) CPF
2) PR/ Citizenship or citizen rights
3) HDB Flat
4) Baby Bonus
Hence, these 'bags' are in popular demand abroad.

小和尚与老和尚
Got this from Jacky Wu...
有一天，小和尚与老和尚一同出差，路经一条河。这时，有位貌美的姑娘要过河，又不想弄湿脚，就请老和尚背她过河。老和尚一言不发，背她过河。小和尚看了，百思不得其解。
过了几天，小和尚终于按捺不住，开口问老和尚：“师傅，几天前那位姑娘。。。”
老和尚看了看小和尚，说到：“我早已将那姑娘放下，你怎么还将她放在心中？”
启发：放下，释然。
