It’s not a major shock but still unsettling to read that August brought us record highs in unemployment and home foreclosures. We see many people losing their jobs and their homes in our neighborhood and we wonder when this will bottom out. Will the same fate befall us? Of course, all would be well if we could hold on to our jobs but many businesses have folded in recent months.

How many Dr, Chua Soi Leks are there in the world, though I am not saying that he is a fine example that all cheating man should emulate. After all, Dr. Chua is still together with the mistress despite it all. His excuse is that they have been together for 12 years already.
