All Kinds of Everything...

The song "All Kinds of Everything" by Dana instantly came to mind when I decided to do some virtual spring-cleaning -- today being the eve of the eve of Chinese New Year -- of unused stuff, for my blog. So, this blog entry will not be thematic, unless "all kinds of everything" is indeed a theme!

But, first, more about Dana. The song she sang as a young girl won her the 1970 Eurovision song competition. What's interesting is that she was a Northern Ireland resident (a British citizen) then but -- inspite of the sectarian politics and violence there at the time -- she represented Ireland. Much later, she became an Irish politician and ran for the Presidency. Here's what Wikipedia recounts:

And they hate these!



Very telling statistics, Part 1...



Very telling statistics, Part 2...



And there was a such a big fuss about that NUS story (yesterday's blog entry)!...


Don't know why they're debating what's the "Singapore Core" in Parliament. Here it is:


One man says it's about apple cores (he forgets there's an unflattering saying about apple cores):


Finally, this ad claims there's a sure-win way to your in-law's heart...


But, don't worry, CK and M, I don't particularly relish abalone (let alone the stuff being the desire of my heart!).
