tra lalala lalala it's Friday!

Was reading My Paper this morning..and these are just some stuff I gleaned from it...
Gosh...so what is retained most in my mind are the gossipy things??

- Man gets killed by police officer in stand-off at Outram MRT
- LeBron James netted 50 points to lead Cleveland Cavaliers to a win over the NY Knicks...
- More than 32,000 vehicle owners were booked for parking on footpaths in 2007
- Warren Buffet is now listed by Forbes as the world's richest man!! Bill Gates has finally been overthrown! Hurrah! hahah...
- Torres is a hero... haha lol...he was the best thing to have happened to Liverpool over the troubled last few years man..
- Errr...$40m facelift which was planned for Orchard Road has hit some snags cos some mall owners are worried about the impact it would have on traffic flow..especially when walkways are closed or narrowed.....
- Oh yah, some Malaysian finance & securities firm donated $1.5m to the Singapore Symphony Orchestra...wah lau eh....

Errrr....errr...I think that's about all that I managed to remember hahha...

=========
Speaking of which, $40m just to revamp Orchad Road.
Sigh, would the $$ have been put to better use if it were used to help the less fortunate and the needy in Singapore?

Oh of all organisations to donate $$ to...why donate $1.5 million bucks to the SSO??
Couldn't that M'sian organisation have donated the large sum to a welfare home or hospice or children's home or a drug centre or some other centre??

I mean, I'd rather see old folks, young kids, and other more needy people get that $$ rather than the SSO...
I have nothing against the SSO...just felt that the $$ could have been donated to a more needy charity....
Sigh........

=========
Ok, enough of ranting..back to work...need to accomplish alot of things today...

Strangely, though workload has increased..I feel happier...Hmm..???
Hahaha the perverse me hahaha!!!
