a piece of our childhood memory has passed on with age. my condolences to @Bigbird NEW YORK (Reuters) - Caroll Spinney, the puppeteer who brought boyish vulnerability to Big Bird, the towering yellow-plumed character, during 50 years on the groundbreaking children’s television show “Sesame Street” and even made garbage-loving Oscar the Grouch loveable, died on Sunday at the age of 85, the Sesame Workshop said. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-people-caroll-spinney/puppeteer-who-performed-sesame-streets-big-bird-oscar-dies-at-85-idUSKBN1YC0KZ

why ur atb friend wear those high platform with no top heel or toe box, kgk xdd??? how to feel the pleasure when she kick/step on ur kkj??????

no need say old folks, even those who have tertiary education have this mentality. best example is loong loong's casino economy. despite the best efforts of some economists in pointing out the unsustainability of such an economic policy, majority of the country is still stupid enough to trust loong loong.

confirm election is coming. to really solve the issue, it is time to relook the logic of streaming. best is to let the p6 students take exam to serve as a gauge to their potential and give a general secondary education b4 streaming them for a-level or poly.

hershey, cadbury or ovaltine.

alrdy said at the beginning of the trade war that china will be hit badly becos of supply chain switching. still have kgk economists tell me that consumers r paying majority of the tariffs when in fact, it is the tiongland manufacturer who has to bear the burden of the tax while the us treasury happy happy collect money which was supposed to be the manufacturer's margin.

kgk xdd shld see a pgd doctor instead of a dietitian. i suspect the reason u cannot gain weight is becos of a severe case of tapeworm infection.

that means consolidation led by the big 6 is coming. really dont know what the tiong regulators r doing during the late 1990s and 2000s, never learn from the asian financial crisis and kept on issuing banking licences. one of the reasons why asian financial crisis hit the malaysians, indos, thais, pinoys and skoreans that badly is becos of massive lending between banks and their parent conglomerates. as a result, once there is a financial crunch in one of the group companies, the banking arm is usually asked to rescue regardless of financial viability. but when there is a economy-wide crunch, the recipe for a systematic failure is in place. that is why sgp regulators insisted that local banking groups cannot be involved in other non-financial activities after the crisis despite being relatively immune. in tiongland, most of these regional banks r majority-owned by private conglomerates and moral hazard is a strong possibility in such a setup. according to a rough count, sexperts estimate there r ard 3000 of these regional banks chartered by the local branches of the banking regulator. so when an economy-wide crunch happens, systematic failure is not far.

malaysia exports frozen becos they havent obtained the chinese sanitary cert and the smell of malaysian durians r very much stronger than siam durians. to pass the sanitary test is easy but finding a shipper is the difficult part. not many shippers r willing to take the job due to the extra cleaning involved.

........ how abt keppel group?????? .......... “We find that there are not enough big projects in Malaysia. Even if we look at big projects currently, more than half of them are actually done by Chinese contractors, and these Chinese state-owned enterprise contractors, if they want the project, they can easily tender even at a loss. So how are we going to compete with them? So we have no choice, we have to go overseas.” .............. https://www.theedgemarkets.com/article/some-construction-players-bid-below-cost-survive-—-gamuda

the rice, timber, seafood and bird nest businesses in siamland r basically cornered by a few old teochew families. especially the rice export business, almost 90% of rice exporters r teochews. but the most sakti thai biz i want to invest.............

most likely since most of the china-bound trade financing is cornered by boc and icbc.

go bkk speak teochew, can survive in samphanthawong. btw, some of the teochew families in siamland has a less-than-glamorous history from today's perspective.

not surprising. postal bank and the big 4 will most likely be anchor banks in any consolidation. i will only start buy in when the crisis comes. the ipo to watch will be bank of bohai in hk later next yr.

this stall at people's park not bad. the shao meat is crispy enough and the fat is not too much.
