Well, this Dr Cai really written rather about the Singapore Psyche (Ugly ones and occasionally nice ones) and to a large extent, reflect much about the greed of companies, the other side of singapore, the downtrodden type, the night life in places like Orchard towers, etc. Have a read…

My favourite entry have got to be this:

Frankly, I didn’t know till I read this blog that being a taxi driver is a bestowed privilege of being Singaporean. Honestly, I just didn’t know!!! It’s just so uniquely Singapore…

Anyway, Dr Cai’s talent can be put to good use..since life science have much much more to offer. Anyway, that’s a story for another day. The thing is..honestly, it makes me fear for myself when I reach the magical 40s….

As for the official statement from IMCB, will definitely read something along the line..Dr Cai was not contributing, etc…something to that tune, etc..no choice but let him go, etc…

Adulterous Couple Roll Over 150 Foot Cliff While Making Love in Back of Car

Taiwan: 25-year-old Lin Gu and 29-year-old Lee Shin have suffered bruises and broken bones after their car rolled off a 150 foot cliff while they were in the back seat having sex.

“They had parked up close to the edge of the mountain and had left the handbrake off. When they started having sex the rocking motion started the car moving and it rolled off the hill. They were lucky they were not more seriously hurt,” said police.

The couple were able to climb back to where they started from before the woman went to a nearby house for help. At the house she begged the homeowner not to reveal the circumstances of the accident lest her husband divorce her.
