Re: Advice needed. Divorce

Can you work with your ex for an amicable settlement and speed things up by not contesting anything? Totally agreed, divorce in Singapore can be a really trick and costly affair.

I dont personally find Rothko's work interesting, but i was once in a gallery with a friend from Poland who started crying after seeing his paintings. That was a weird experience :-|

This is a bit out of topic, but was just wondering if this word "Saffa" is used actually in South-Africa? I've heard it in London, but nowhere else people really seem to know it.

I find the overuse of plastic bags hideous as well. And the problem is exponential as there is not that much of recycling going on. Maybe the idea is to dump the plastic bags into the ocean and get some more "land" that way...

I would recommend Mustafa as well. They have pretty much everything what Guardian and Watsons carry plus a million other things. Also note that the pharmacies have different stock depending on store size and location.
