We had yet another balcony barbie! My goodness, this has become a weekly event! How to lose weight, like that?

It started late at 8.30pm this time round because some of the guys wanted to sweat it out first on the tennis court, before indulging in the wicked dinner.

We ate all the way till almost midnight. Too bad all of us have to work the next day.



What is that?!

It is a frilled shark, rarely seen alive because its natural habitat is 600m or more under the sea. It's sometimes referred to as a "living fossil" because it is a primitive species that has changed little since prehistoric times.

The shark was caught by staff of Awashima Marine Park, but died a few hours later.

What a shame!



Want to earn more that for you are doing now? Time to makeup lost time.

A study conducted by US economists Hamermesh and Biddle found that women who wear make-up earn higher incomes than women who do not.

So, instead of hitting the snooze button for a third time tomorrow morning. Go on, get up and spend those extra few precious minutes slapping on some lippie - it could take you on the road to riches.



The Singapore Girl may be about to get a more contemporary look.

No thanks to Qantas chairman, whom I feel was not be objective when he referred to the campaign as "massage parlor in the sky ads".

Some critics even complain the Singapore Girl concept is sexist, outmoded and largely intended to serve male passengers' fantasies of desirable, subservient Oriental women.

This month, Singapore Air invited rivals of Batey Ads, which created and held the contract since the launch of the "Singapore Girl - You're a great way to fly", to submit bids.

I think its a waste just give up such a truly iconic symbol having spent 30 years to build it.

The beautiful ladies, figure-hugging Pierre Balmain sarong kebaya, the way they wear long hair - never loose - and the color of nail varnish or lipstick should remain.
