Speaking my mind

She is undoubtedly the best singing talent in Singapore Idol. Yet, i am willing to bet a million bucks that she will not win the competition. Why? Yes, it is about personality as well...and she does have a great personality...one which most higher-order thinking people would appreciate. Unfortunately for her, these are the same people who do not watch Singapore Idol...those who do are screaming teenage girls who vote for the best-looking guy, teenage guys who vote for the best-looking female...and all your singlish-speaking uncles and aunties, who vote for the one who'd be most likely to release a chinese karoake album. That's what happened last season when Olinda Cho, who was vocally the best amongst the finalists, was voted out. I predict a very similar ending to this season. After all...aesthetics come first...singing is secondary.

NEW DELHI: A textbook used at schools in Rajasthan compares housewives to donkeys, and suggests the animals make better companions as they complain less and are more loyal to their "masters," TOI reported Tuesday.

"A donkey is like a housewife ... In fact, the donkey is a shade better, for while the housewife may sometimes complain and walk off to her parents' home, you'll never catch the donkey being disloyal to his master," the newspaper reported, quoting a Hindi-language primer meant for 14-year-olds.

The book was approved by the state's Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party government but has sparked protests from the party's women's wing.

My input: For the guys who published and wrote the textbook, i'd suggest they go
marry donkeys since they are so unsatisfied with women. Also, i'm quite sure
they'll find much more pleasure in the company of their own kind.

"I have to pat myself on the back. It's not easy to be married, to have a successful career, to have children, to be with someone who is as strong-willed and ambitous as i am."

Miss: Yes, she is definitely strong-willed and ambitious. What else do you call a woman who still wears swimsuit-styled outfits on stage when she's approaching my grandmother's age?
