the Bear SG well, your life someone just got shot to death yesterday... better dying through firepower... alas...
littlestream SG Eh, yuan wang ah. I've not watched drama for FOUR WEEKS liao ah. Oh, really? Hmm....okay. Will share with hubby. Thanks ah. Oh remember that mini plaza across my house? I saw signboard of a BBQ place. A doctor's office. An optometrist. A cafe...hopefully we can contribute to local businesses by going there after church service. A cleaners. A vietnamese pho place. Pizza, Subway. That's it for now and I look forward to seeing more signs come up.
jetta SG Originally posted by Meia Gisborn: Now, you guys [b]do realize you're living in Singapore, yes? When has it ever not been hot there? [/b]Gimme the heat over the cold anyday.
jetta SG You had to request for a Friday vacation day? Here, no school, no work that day and Monday. Long weekend, whoo-hoo! Got plans? The house hunt is coming along. Saw one that newly listed yesterday, tempted to just buy from the pictures alone. Got a counter offer on the first place we want. Not biting.
Meia Gisborn SG Are you blaming the firearm, or the person who pulled the trigger? But yes, I've been following that story, and am frankly surprised that the perpetrator and one of his accomplices managed to flee the country. So much for the efficiency of the much-vaunted Singapore police.
Rhonda SG Actually, a few of our politicians have boasted over the news on TV that we're well-protected against terrorists, that we have a system to would deter terrorist attacks, yada-yada... All well and good... But then, they cannot protect ONE man from being shot by ONE gunman! So much for all that boasting! OK, OK, so different sections are involved and all that... but see my point?
the Bear SG it'll be heck of a lot harder to murder the fella with a knife you know? seriously... the type of arguments will go back and forth.. but think about this: isn't it better to CONTROL the availability of firearms and limit their use to sports within a club? rather than to allow them to be available freely where maniacs and assassins can get at them? in the US, what is the waiting time and what are the checks? a few years ago, there were lobbyist trying their damnest to remove all checks citing the constitutional right to bear arms... remove the two extremes... where there are no firearms and where firearms are freely available... put them in the clubs and control their use and availability... i would think therein, is the answer..
jetta SG We low-balled the first one. He was asking between 340-399K. Considering that he converted the 3rd bedroom into a media room, we'd have to spend $$$ to convert it back. (Reinstalling double doors to the room, and hacking the media shelves in what was the closet then reinstalling the closet doors.) He countered with a 385 offer and removed our contingencies. Oh well. The search goes on.
stellazio SG how are they gonna protect when they have no insider reports of it? not everything like CSI can be solved within an hour.. its actually harder to catch one man den an organization..
Rhonda SG Huh?? *waves madly at littlestream!! Here!! Brey signed in early this morning, but only posted twice, then that's it. Last night, Brey didn't come in. I guess he's busy coz he has his parents over there visiting him right now.
Rhonda SG Well, in the first place, how did a gun get into Singapore? All the tight checks at our entrypoints and all that... and a GUN slipped right through.
Rhonda SG Very funny! Laughed a lot when I looked at them! Hey, thanks for sharing those kewl pics with us! hehe!
