Toh Yi Residents: “Old folks? Not in my backyard, please.”


Miyagi: How are you doing? You don’t look like you’ve aged one bit since this whole furore about you not wanting a block of studio flats for old people built next to yours.

So were Toh Yi residents really concerned about the old folks, or were they just looking out for themselves? Frankly it’s hard to tell.

Thank You for Not Smoking


Adrianna: It’s something I picked up while mugging for my A Levels, which was, I maintain, still one of the most extreme periods of my young life. The occasional cigarette rightly or wrongly got me through those days. In retrospect, that was a stupid thing to do.

So what does smoking really do to you? If you said lung cancer, you’re sadly mistaken. Because smoking does a whole lot more than that.

The Unofficial Graciousness Survey


Belinda: Remember that little poll we did some time back? We have results! Overall, we didn’t do too well, although it’s not a total disaster.

It all started with a survey by the Kindness Movement that showed Gen Y was more gracious than Gen X, if only by a smidgen. So we created a little poll asking readers what they observed in people around them.
