On June 27, Microsoft headquarters staff bid farewell to its founder Bill Gates. Gates co-founded the company in 1975 with the vision to put a computer on every desk and in every home. 33 years later, the vision has been realized and the computer has truly revolutionized our lives. According to research firm IDC, there are currently more than one billion PCs worldwide.
After stepping down, the 52-year-old will devote most of his efforts to philanthropy. His charitable foundation, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, is the world's largest charity. While pitting himself against malaria and poverty, Gates will still work on special projects at Microsoft on a part-time basis.
The next time someone boasts of having X computers at home, gently remind and thank the person for fulfilling the vision that was.
CONNEXIONS ALWAYS, ALWAYS CONNEXIONS.

An Open Letter to Janet Nadj of Rental Empire (Queensland, Australia)
Janet, what a greedy, money-sucking horrendous woman you are!
An incompetent "property manager", you scream at your customer with your filthy mouth.
Nadj, what an arrogant, money-mongering vicious woman you are!
Each of the filthy looks on your face reflects so well of your greed and arrogance.
To my complete disgust, Janet, you are a woman of no character.
Bitch! You took three-day rent from me for nothing.
Inarguably greedy and arrogant,
Totally and absolutely disgusting.
Curse you, whore! May misfortunes befall you.

Majulah Singapura
On 9 August 1965, a new nation was born.
On 9 August 1965, the people of Singapore decided that they should be the masters of their own destiny. They decided that time had come to build a Singapore for Singaporeans. On that day, Singaporeans chose the road of independence, a road so rarely traveled, yet traveled so well.
After 42 years, Singapore, which was once a small fishing village, has transformed itself from a former British trading outpost to a global cosmopolitan city, a world-class aviation hub, shipping port, financial centre, and manufacturing hub.
Today, Singapore is a vibrant multicultural city, a home to people of different races and religions living harmoniously side by side.
The Singapore of today is not simply a dream come true or a wish fulfilled. Singapore's achievements are the results of diligence, dedication and sacrifices every man and woman of the nation had made and committed.
As Singapore celebrates its 42nd birthday, I wish Singapore many more good years to come.
