Do right-handers live longer than left-handers?

This is among a few other 'facts' emailed to me this morning.

I suppose the minority always seems to be the 'cream of the crop' or the 'neglected' few. Not many inventions are friendly to the 10% left-handers in the world.

So, it's not surprising that they have to cope with more adversities and tend to kick the bucket earlier.

My ambition was to be an accountant

From the first year I reached secondary school until I graduated, being an accountant had always been my first choice ambition. It was only on my final year in Secondary 5 that my first choice had changed to being a 'Manageress'. Somehow, as a child, an accountant gave me the impression of being a very highly-respectable profession. Not only that, one can only call herself an accountant after passing all the necessary examinations. She can't call herself one just because she holds the title of 'accountant'.

Hey, I'm the wife of a senior personnel in this office. But, thankfully I don't have to greet anyone so as not to conceal my slight anxiety. It's a non-working day. After all,this is my first time stepping into his office. Well, the feeling that no one is calling the shot, except for him, as his wife, I do have this pride that beams in me. Needless to say, I took the opportunity to scan through some stuff in his office. A quick one, else I would be 'accused' of prying on his privacy. ...

A familiar sight

Do we want to be associated with trash? The answer could be positive if the people do not 'wake up' to throw their trash indiscriminately.

And this is found in an area under MPAJ. Have we heard that MPAJ has demarcated certain area as 'Kawasan Bersih'? So, if there is no such classification, does that mean it is justifiable to be filthy?
