The mother of the child, a Chinese woman in her early twenties, has been detained to assist in investigations. She lives with her parents and a younger brother in a 5-room flat on the 18th floor of the block. But it is not clear if the baby was thrown from the 18th floor. The baby is believed to have been thrown down a common rubbish chute at the lift landing. Neighbours say they were not even aware that the detained woman had been pregnant. "It's not possible for this to happen. She's a very good girl. She's very respectful and acknowledges us and we'll talk," one neighbour said. Described as good looking, she is believed to be an undergraduate at a local university... "

It pains me to read such a article... actually heard it on the radio when travelling back from my shopping just now... why would someone 'murder' their own flesh and blood? haiz... then i was commenting to my mom and dad about how they manage to give birth in her own house... i was wondering don't they feel pain? I really admire them for being able to endure the pain throughout the whole process... even lele's mom opted for C-section after a few hours of pain... usually the delivery process shld take quite sometime right... so how? they just stay in the toilet? which reminds me of an article i just read a few days ago...

"ACTRESS Zoe Tay endured an 11-hour labour before she gave birth to her son on Thursday night... It was a natural birth but she asked for an anaesthetic after the pain became too much to bear, said the report. "

Even our Caldecott Hill Ah Jie needs 11 hours of 'hard work' to push the baby out and even requested for anaesthetic... think that 20 yr old in the Toa Payoh case might be super good at enduring pain... actually not only her... but also those teenagers who 'like' to give birth in public toilets...

which leads to a point that my mom made in the midst of my blabberings... she said those gers aged below 18 usually can deliver easier as their bones are not yet 'fixed' and therefore more flexible... at least that's the experience of her friend who gave birth at a tender age of 16... maybe that's why some teenagers can endure the pain...

Super lame me actually thought of the 'I do I do' show I watched yesterday... she shouldn't just dumped the baby down in view of all the baby bonuses right... or is the baby bonus only for married couples? I dunno... haha...

(Scene 2: Home) When my brothers hear abt the news on TV, they actually asked me to go find out which uni the ger is from... well... as if i will know... even though i might really be kpo enuff to ask my friends but i'll try not to in order to act not-so-kpo... so if anyone do know who she is or which uni she's from... do msg me k... will try as far as possible to keep it a secret too...

Enuff ranting abt the above case... time to give some justice to pie cos when i met him today @ The Tea Party, he kept on sulking and said that my previous post only has a small part abt him... okie okie... i dedicate the next paragraph to pie pie can?

Mark aka mudpie... a budding entrepreneur whose main job scope is selling electronics products like TV... DVD player... mp3 players... and stuff lah...(so if u need anything can contact me to get good prices...) as he's an entrepreneur, he don't have a large income... which just explains the fact why i still need to take public transport and pay for my meals sometimes... but even though he's not rich... he still try to make our outings enjoyable... he's doing a part time biz degree... and this much explains the fact that he doesn't have much spare time for me cos he got lotsa projects to rush... haiz... but we still try to meet as often as possible...

hmmm... think nothing much to type already bah... that's all... BAH...
