In the news today (30 October 2007)... interesting and random stuff taken from today's newspaper in Singapore that you might find amusing (or not).

Number One -
A woman passed away, family is mourning, and comes the time to deal with her assets. Mystery man suddenly appears, claiming to be the woman's husband. Family never had any idea she was married. But investigations slowly show that she was indeed married to that man. Secret marriage? She never lived with the man. They were not divorced. In fact there was proof they communicated for the past 25 years. Now this certainly complicates family matters. Wanna scold the dead woman for not inviting everyone to the wedding also cannot, she's dead!

Number Two -
Orchard Road in Singapore gonna get a $40million face-lift. Makeover to start in February. Start planning your 2008 Christmas to be in Lion City. Might be worth your money even more than now.

Number Three -
Girl in Penang made up a story that she was kidnapped. She asked this VCD seller, a woman, whom the girl knew, to take her back to the VCD lady's house because she was scared of her mother. Girl was a liar. Mother never abused her (no proof). She lied to VCD lady. Disappeared for a few days. Then finally went back home and told everyone she got kidnapped. The little girl should start writing a book with that kind of imagination.

Number Four -
In Malaysia. Lady's car got smashed by Mat Rempits. She horned at them because they were blocking her. Never horn at Mat Rempits. Scary. They even threw some chemical fluid on the car window to make it smash more easily. Scary. Mat Rempits are serious people. Scary. Never make fun of them when you are driving. Scary.

Number Five -
Lim Goh Tong, the founder of Genting, passed away. He was a strong believer in windwater, I mean feng shui. Even at his funeral, the sign warned that "those born in 1947, 1950 and 1972 should be aware that their ages clash with Lim's year of birth and his zodiac sign". Enter the funeral at your own risk.

Number Six -
JK Rowling in trouble, again, for making poor Dumbledore a homosexual. The last few movies face high risk of low ticket sales. Who knows, might even increase sales?

Number Seven -
You should be scared of Arsenal, ye people of Manchester United. Very afraid.....

And that wraps up the news for today.
I'm Dominic for DLLnews.
Good bye and have a pleasant day.


If I ruled the world, every day would be the first day of spring, and every man would have a new song to sing!
