Barely a week after Singapore prime minister Lee Hsien Loong cited opposition in France to gay marriage as a reason not to do anything about Singapore's anti-gay law, he was shown up for his piss-scared views by the government of President François Hollande. The French National Assembly approved a key part of Hollande's Reform Bill that will allow same-sex couples to marry and adopt children.
French car giant PSA Peugeot Citroen believes it can put an air-powered vehicle on the road by 2016. Its scientists say it will knock 45 per cent off fuel bills for an average motorist. And when driving in towns and cities costs could be slashed by as much as 80 per cent because the car will be running on air for four-fifths of the time.

The government had recently announced a $2 billion Marriage and Parenthood package to increase the fertility rate of Singapore.
The government had also said that they would be making two more announcements along the course of the week. One would be on how "we (are able to) meet those aspirations for good jobs, while at the same time, meet the social and infrastructural needs of Singapore, particularly when we are facing this very rapidly ageing population." The next is on "how to ensure a high quality living environment for Singaporeans." …
임창정 – 오랜만이야
참 오랜만이란 말로 웃으며 인사하는 너
처음 널 만날 때 처럼 내 가슴이 철없이 또 뛰어
꼭 행복하라는 말로 울면서 보내줬는데
그말이 무색할 만큼 너 왜 이렇게 많이 야위었어
무슨일 있었던 거니 세상을 다 줄것 같은 그 사람과
오래오래 잘 사는게 행복하는게 그렇게 힘이 들었니
붙잡을 걸 그랬나봐
내가 더 사랑한다 말할 걸
가진게 너무 없어 줄게 너무 없어 안되는 줄 알았어
기다릴 걸 그랬나봐 네가 돌아올 줄 알았다면
혼자가 아닌 나라 널 잡을 수 없어 바보 같지만 미안해
나 다시 널 보낼게
좀 일찍오지 그랬어 너 땜에 힘들었는데
죽을 것 같았던 나를 그녀가 겨우 구해줬는데
나 왜 이렇게 못됐니 니 작은 어깨를 꼭 안고 싶어져
자꾸만 후회되는게 미치겠는게
아프게 너를 또 원해
붙잡을 걸 그랬나봐
내가 더 사랑한다 말할 걸
가진게 너무 없어 줄게 너무 없어 안되는 줄 알았어
기다릴 걸 그랬나봐 네가 돌아올 줄 알았다면
혼자가 아닌 나라 널 잡을 수 없어 바보 같지만 미안해
나 다시 널 보낼게
몰라 볼 걸 그랬나봐
널 닮은 사람이지 그랬어
내 앞에 있는 너를 애써 웃는 너를 안아줄 수도 없는데
스쳐갈걸 그랬나봐 고갤 돌리지 말걸 그랬어
멀어져 가는 너를 난 잡을 수 없어 다시 한번 더 부탁해
나 보다 더 행복해
