A parent posted that thing in a primary school’s forum in the East. Judging from her diction, s/he must have been raised under the same circumstances in her youth.

Every country has its own characteristics, even in shopping. Here in Singapore we have the GSS, or Great Singapore Sales, which gives up to 70 per cent discount on selected items across the island.

My friend in the United States told me that they call it Black Friday there. It’s actually the first Friday after thanksgiving, and the busiest day for shopping throughout the year. Normally people will line up outside shop fronts since dawn to get the best bargains available on that day. More often than not, though, they would end up picking everything they happen to come across — just because they think they’re cheaper than on normal days!

Unless you’re a hardcore shopper, I honestly don’t think you’d enjoy it. Do you know, you can actually skip the queue?

In case you haven’t known, check this thanksgiving flyer. Black Friday Online provide you with items you can purchase for your holiday shopping, without the hassle of having to step out of your home.

They also have email alerts to let you know about the new ads. There are many merchants available, such as Amazon.com and Walmart.

You can start browsing through their offers as early as now, and create a shopping list in advance. Just before the Black Friday sale ends, you can simply start to shop. If you’re lucky, you may be able to buy some Black Friday products online. Some merchants listed on Black Friday Online are kind enough to make their products available online on Thanksgiving morning.

Say bye-bye to stressful Black Friday shopping experience; now that you can make your own plan in advance.

Good news for you, folks — not so much for the ladies though. New research conducted by the University of Sheffield in UK suggests that men from polygamous cultures live 12 per cent longer than those from monogamous ones.

Chris Wilson, an evolutionary anthropologist at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York also said, “It’s a valid hypothesis and good prediction. It doesn’t surprise me that men in those societies live longer than men in monogamous societies, where they become widowed and have nobody to care for them.”

But how about the women? Next time they should also do the same research on women.
