"emotionally-satisfying one": The world's oldest trade qualify? [Planet Platinum Limited as listed on ASX]

ok, moving away from such extreme example.

Sharing: I was once amused when a nice (FT/PR) colleague asked when to buy a replacement door mirror cover for his dad's Hyundai Matrix (located in his country of origin. Country N). It later dawned on me that back in his own country, that car is a symbolism of having 'made it' for the family. [Theory of relativity applies in social order.]

Back to SG: Quite amazing that locally, we are head over 'Head over heels' to 'announce' our arrivals in overpriced (with limited validity) cars and (heavily indebted) (generally with limited validity) housing. The saying goes: "One man's meat is another man's poison."

Reflection on oneself: The managing of expectation and ability to fit into the social/physical environment. A person may be happy being alone/single/etc, but the world around him/her may impose a different set of rules. There are implications from that 'single' person's choice. Think housing (read the news). Think school (should we thank them that there is lesser competition for places for the next generation???). Think community and hospital care (What if they do not have sufficient $, who ultimately pays?).
