Insane and weird news of the day
-
there are a lot of such ah tiong hustlers in Singapore, I've met several of them, a chap I met does nothing but chat up old unkers at kopitiams, to get them to vouch for girls coming from china to work here as hostesses and prostitutes.
The uncles would get around $200 to $500 for each girl they vouch for. All they have to do is to answer the phone calls from ICA who does random checks every now and then. Free guiness money for the unkers, you can imagine the cut the chap gets.

Bacon Or Sex? 43% Of Canadians Would Choose Bacon
by Maple Leaf Foods Inc.
Posted: Thursday, February 4, 2010 at 5:03PM ESTMISSISSAUGA, ON -- According to a recent national survey, Canadians are passionate about bacon. When asked to choose between bacon and sex, more than four in 10 (43%) chose bacon! Maple Leaf commissioned this Angus Reid For the Love of Bacon survey to mark the launch of their newest product innovation, Maple Leaf Reclosable Bacon.
"We wanted to probe how deeply rooted Canadians' passion for bacon is - and the For the Love of Bacon survey sure opened our eyes!" explained Adam Grogan, VP Marketing, Maple Leaf Foods. "Our research also told us that Canadians' number one frustration with typical bacon packaging is that it can't be reclosed (71%) and that it's too messy (52%). We know people love bacon, and now with Maple Leaf Reclosable Bacon, they'll love the package too!"
The packaging innovation should be welcomed, according to additional survey results, as nearly three out of four survey respondents (73%) said they love bacon. In fact, nearly one in five Canadian men (18%) agreed that some days, they just can't survive without bacon.
Bacon: The key to a man's heart?
Ladies, thinking about which fragrance will woo a man? Think bacon. When asked to rank various aromas by preference, 23% of men ranked bacon as number one.
And it seems bacon lovers think they are better lovers. When asked if they are good lovers, four out of five respondents (82%) who said they love bacon, also said they are good lovers. And when asked if they are romantic, four out of five respondents (81%) who said they love bacon also agreed they are romantic.
The survey also revealed some noteworthy regional differences. It may be bacon trumps love in the Prairies. Nearly one in four of respondents (23%) from Manitoba and Saskatchewan wondered if 'my partner loves bacon more than me'. Maybe a little more sizzle in the bedroom instead of the kitchen is in order...
Of note - western Canadians are especially enamoured with bacon. Of respondents from British Columbia, 50% said they would give up sex before bacon, versus 37% of respondents from Quebec.

Queenstown flat sold for record $890,000
Tan Hui Yee and Jessica Cheam
The Straits Times
Wednesday, 9 January 2008
The brief for the property agent was simple: Find an HDB flat with great views and near an MRT station. Top floors only - and, it appears, never mind the price.
2 intense days of door-knocking and a record $890,000 later, the buyer has his dream home - and the most expensive Housing Board flat in the country.
For his money, he gets a spacious 21st-storey executive flat in Queenstown, with expansive views towards Sentosa and leafy Mount Faber on one side and Queenstown Stadium on the other.
The 13-year-old flat in Block 150, Mei Ling Street, is just a few minutes away from Queenstown MRT via a sheltered walkway, and a swimming complex is just around the corner.
The owners, Mr David Ho Khoi Seng, 72, and wife Judy, 64, had paid just over $300,000 for the 1,614 sqft flat, which has 4 bedrooms, a living room and a study, in 1992.
Mr Ho, who runs a stationery shop, said he had no intention of selling when PropNex agent David See and his son came knocking last Thursday.
The couple tried to deter the buyers - believed to be an elderly couple who own private property - by asking for what they felt was a ridiculous $900,000.
'We thought $900,000 was too high a price for anyone, but the buyers seemed pretty desperate to find a suitable flat,' said Mr Ho.
Mr See, 47, said he roped in his 20-year-old son Wilson for the quest to give him some work experience before he starts university later this year.
But knocking on doors, he said, is something he would only do for 'genuine buyers'.
'It was a challenge. It's not easy to get people to sell high-floor units at this time,' he added.
Demand had sent HDB resale prices up 17.4% last year, the highest in a decade, but executive flats in coveted districts near the central city like Queenstown and Bukit Merah have been extra hot.
The old record for an HDB flat was $780,000 - also for an executive flat in Mei Ling Street - achieved last November.
Five other such flats in Mei Ling Street changed hands between November and December, ranging in price from $728,000 to $765,000.
Median resale prices of executive flats in Queenstown hit $719,000 between July and September last year, a jump from $609,000 in the previous quarter. This type of flat in Queenstown commanded $120,000 in cash over their valuation in the same period.
A 5-roomer in Kim Tian Place in nearby Bukit Merah changed hands for $720,000 last June.
With prices of resale HDB flats expected to climb further, the latest deal has prompted some people to ask when a public housing unit will cross the $1 million mark.
Agents reckon that is a way off yet.
Mr See thinks his record deal was more a reflection of the buyers' eagerness, rather than market sentiment.
Meanwhile, Mr Ho and his wife will live with their 35-year-old son in his Siglap terrace house until they find a suitable home.
When they move, Mr Ho will have to give up a pastime of his: Watching S-League football matches at Queenstown Stadium from the balcony of his Mei Ling Street flat's master bedroom. -
