So the "School of the Future" will be ready in 2008. Guess that means the rest of us went to what kind of school...?

The National Council of Problem Gambling is inviting comments or feedback on whether the exclusion order (the one that disallows you to enter the casino) should be permanent, limited or revocable. That is, if you have recovered from gambling addiction, could you apply to be allowed into a casino. I say, if you have been cured of your gambling addiction, why would you want to go back in there?

The recent (and perhaps on-going) deluge of rain has wreaked havoc to our neighbours to the north and south. This little red dot remains mostly above water. Way to go!

School bus operators have the perenniel problems of trying to charge for June and Dec, claiming that they had overheads in those months as well. I sympathise. Now why don't they just factor in those two months and just charge the 10 months fees with those 2 months built in. It would mean a 20% increase but there would be no charge for June and Dec. Problem solved. If the operators have trouble saving the extra, their association can perhaps help them with a savings plan of sorts.

A Judge gave a drunk Bomb Hoaxer just 6 months jail because she found that he had no malicious intent. She also said police should have procedures in place to distinguished between genuine tip-offs and drunken acts of foolishness. So if you have a genuine tip-off, please don't be drunk when you call the police. Or if you're drunk and want some fun, and have nothing to do for, oh, the next six months... Pfffttt!

In Malaysia, the Sisters In Islam intends to conduct a survey to see what impact polygamy has on families. They intend to ask questions like how family expenditure on clothes and other necessities are affected when the man takes another wife. Well, if you're going to ask THAT kind of questions... why bother? Limited resources. Increased dependents. No brainer.
