Minister Mentor Lee was also asked whether he played a role in helping his son Lee Hsien Loong to become Singapore’s prime minister. He replied: “I did not appoint my son, I appointed somebody else (as) prime minister, who was my successor, and he stayed in the job for 14 years, and he chose my son to be his deputy. I did not arrange that.

laundry day (via sarah1rene) … In the old place we had room to use a drying rack. Here, I have to bite the bullet and use the Singaporean method: poles that we put into mounts on the side of the building, outside Carl’s office window. Intellectually, I know it’s fine — but I still have visions of a pole adorned with my underwear hurtling down to the sidewalk below and spearing a passerby.

You choose your one-meat-two-vegetables or two-meat-two-vegetables or three-meat-one-make-yourself-feel-better-vegetable. Then the nice gentleman looks at your plate and magically conjures up a price for your combo. The price will vary with the time of the day, the weather, and the position of the planets, even if the same dishes were selected.
