on newspapers and the like.

after stopping my order of newspapers, i realized to my chagrin that im entirely out of touch with the world's affairs. which lead to me returning to the mothership (of the straits times) only to discover to my horror that the online edition of ST has turned into a business venture. now i have to pay to read online news. :P and, having grown up in singapore and fed on a steady diet of forum articles. I WANT TO COMPRAIN AHHH. want me to pay SGD900++ for 3 months' worth of newspaper subscription (paper edition) just so i can read it while squatting on the 'bowl? siao liao!!

so that was strike one. i then ordered the online edition of the miami herald... but discovered that the paper was largely about instate issues. and since miami is miles away and i dont know the certain unfortunate Jack who fell off his horse and died, i decided to further my search.

having enjoyed immensely the weekly monday edition of the new york times, i checked out its website. but uhhh subscription is expensive.. and they dont deliver out of state. such a disappointment!

finally, i came upon this cool online paper www.newkerala.com.. the indian online newspaper and wow is it good! :P im gonna give it a go and finally catch up on some juicy world news. although most of the focus is on chinese and british news but hey! i like :P

aighty gotta go catch up on some news! tata

Hon, just use the BBC :P

If you want local news, try channelnewsasia.com. Short snippets with very little meat, but it works. The full length straits times articles are usually long, pedagougish governmental essays with very little meat anyways ;)

Miss you!
