OK, 1st the gossip: a close to S$200k reunion dinner for 20pax by someone at a restaurant in RWS. Pretty expensive if real.
Then the fun news of Obama kites boarding with billionaire, Richard Branson at a luxury resorts in the Caribbean.
Now the serious stuff:
Orchard Road finally get flash flood too! Thought it got resolved as other places were flash flooded in the last few weeks but not Orchard. Guessed I was wrong. The good thing is: We call a spade a spade, something Minister Vivian did not do when he was in charge of the Water Resources n Environment portfolio. I believed he n his folks called it: ponding!!
Anyway, the flash floods subsided after 15 mins as reported. No big deal really.
More thunder storms to come n get your gum boots ready!!
Finally, was heartened to watch the Chinese Money Mind program showcasing our local SMEs creating new ice cream flavours, innovating in boutique hotels n designing robots to improve productivity n reducing reliance on raw manpower. All the while getting grants n funds from the government agencies. While it is true those profiled here r the more successful ones, the fact that we hv them is something to celebrate. The cruel reality is that: only 1 out of 10 or even 100 startups survived.
