Priss on Dec 19th, 2011We are Singapore, Singaporeans – Are we?

With the recent price hikes in Singapore’s transport systems, more and more disgruntled Singaporeans are beginning to feel annoyed with what is happening in Singapore. Some may still defend Singapore’s system and policies, comparing it with neighboring countries such as Thailand and Malaysia, and try to convince themselves that Singapore’s transport system isn’t that bad [...]

I have seen many teenagers in my facebook account that are not concerned or mindful about what appears on their facebook pages or other social media platforms. I am worried for them because I know most of them take it has harmless fun. With the latest incident with Adelyn Hosehbo, I think it serves as [...]

Priss on Oct 26th, 2011Not Enough Foreign Workers in Singapore?

A few days ago, Straits Times had a report on how Singapore’s increased foreign worker levy is affecting MNCs in Singapore and how these MNCs might bring their investments to other countries. To my surprise, Straits Times wrote another Special Report section on the same issue again. Straits Times 26 October 2011 reported, again, “Firms [...]

Priss on Oct 21st, 2010Hey OCBC, Alzheimer Doesn’t Mean Useless!

I didn’t want to read only 1 article to come to any conclusions, so I dug around for a few reports on this issue. OCBC claims that they did not allow Madam Hwang Cheng Tsu Hsu to close (and withdraw) SG$8 million account because they were afraid that she wasn’t acting with full mental capacity. [...]

Priss on May 8th, 2010Mother’s Day and Baby Bonus

It’s Mother’s Day tomorrow! I’ve got a gift ready for my mother and my grandma. It’s funny how the presents gets smaller and more expensive every year. I guess, as we get older, we want to live up to a certain expectation of giving more extravagant presents. Like when you’re 8 years old, you would [...]

Priss on Apr 29th, 2010Joanne Peh’s Star Award 2010 Fashion or Fashion Disaster?

At first look of pictures of Joanne Peh in Star Awards 2010 ceremony, she looked gorgeous. At second look, she still looks gorgeous. So where is the “fashion disaster” that many people are talking about? Some traditional news media even call her fashion sense “sadako like” or basically, looking ghastly. I don’t really follow Singapore’s [...]

Priss on Apr 2nd, 2010Traditional Media Sources From Blogger WITHOUT giving credit. Plagiarism?

Wow. Talking about getting screwed over. Twice in a week. I have been blogging ferociously for the past couple of days regarding the Wax In The City scandal in Singapore, a waxing company that has folded and cheated more than 3000 members of their money, including myself. In the midst of researching data online, and [...]

Priss on Feb 14th, 2010About “Rental Flats People”

You know those people on the news complaining about “rental flat people” living near them? I really don’t understand what they are complaining about. I read on Straits Times today that they were afraid that these “smokers and drinkers” would lead their children astray. Ridiculous! You mean only people that live in rental flats smokes [...]

Priss on Jul 7th, 2009Money Not Enough!

Just read an article on Singapore being ranked 10th in the world as one of the most expensive cities to live in. I think why we’re an expensive city to live in is mostly due to the prices of the housing and cars in Singapore. The inflation of Singapore dollar keeps going up every year, [...]
