Women around the world…

**11:45AM – Uh ooops, I forgot to add my disclaimer: I love men so this isn’t about male bashing it’s about the harsh reality of women’s lives the world over. Thanks for giving me the benefit of the doubt, anonymous.

Another segue, an important one: Women around the world…

Last Thursday I received a Burberry look-alike scarf in the mail. I had to look at the package again to make sure it was addressed to me, I didn’t order it. It came from www.care.org and I thought, hmmm, I send money regularly to this charity in the hopes that the cash will be used [...]

That’s a little singlish for you : ) Singaporean-English, slang baby…and oh lately I’ve been really missing my old life there.
