5 December - Based on Singaporeans' intimate knowledge of South Korean culture having watched (or being forced to watch when everybody has the channel on) at least 100 Korean drama serials, serial entrepreuner Zhen Li Hai has invented a new app similar to Tinder for South Korean mothers to object to their children's marriages, forming the basis of what we know about South Korean life from drama serials.
It is expected that with the high technological take up in South Korea, and the fact that all South Koreans have Samsung mobile phones, elderly Korean mothers (i.e. ajumas) will be able to streamline the process of rejecting their childrens' selected spouses, and speed up about half of most of the drama serials, freeing them (and all the K-Drama addicts) for real, productive work.
It is expected that future versions of the app could assist presidents of South Korean conglomerates find their long-lost heirs, which would also speed up the other half of most of South Korean drama serials, meaning that we will all have to go back to watching Tanglin or whatever Channel 5 tries to pass off as TV these days with Singaporeans speaking in perfect English.
At press time, it was heard that the Singaporean Gahmen would be coming up with a similar app that totally doesn't copy this entrepreneur, even though the colour scheme is the same. Spokesman for the Kollaboration Agency of Productivity And Kompanies (KAPOK), which is a joint kollaboration with our friends from Malaysia, who is a retired Colonel with significant business experience buying overpriced supplies for the army, Col. Da Ping, said that Singaporeans need to be more entrepreunerial and it is all your fault that you Singaporeans aren't entrepreunerial enough so we need to bring in foreign talent who can develop good apps like these.
NEW YORK (BLOOMBERG) - Thought you were splurging by purchasing an Apple Watch for yourself? Think again.
Wang Sicong, the son of one of China's richest men Wang Jialin, took to social media site Weibo to post photos of his dog wearing not one but two gold Apple Watches.
According to Shanghaist, the caption posted in photos taken by the 27-year-old read: "I have new watches! I'm supposed to have four watches since I have four long legs. But that seems too uncouth so I kept it down to two, which totally fits my status. Do you have one?"
Apple's gold watches retail for between US$10,000 (S$13,500) and US$17,000 (S$23,000) each depending on specifications and currently have a three- to four-week wait time.
Wang Jianlin who is worth about US$34 billion (S$46 billion) and runs the real estate development company Dalian Wanda.
Chinese billionaires probably have reason to splurge. The Shanghai Composite Index posted is soaring again and is up more than 50 per cent so far this year.
