The Golden Years Ahead?

Yesterday's sunday times seem to echo the tagline "The Golden Years Ahead" very prominently, with its special mention of Singaporeans who splurge on $580 risotto, flashy cars, million dollar condo, and the like. What the papers fail to mention is how many of such singaporeans are there?

We often forget the papers only report what its audience is interested in. Even the 'proper' and not 'tabloid' papers do that ok...
Hence, I'd take what I see in print , particularly the papers with a pinch of salt. Perhaps I am too much of a skeptic. or is it a case of sour grapes?

Yet when I strolled along orchard road, from grange road to botanic gardens on Saturday, I observed the myraid of landed properties and the size of these sprawling mansions. There are indeed many uber rich in Singapore. Whether they splurge on birdnest mooncakes (888 bucks each), etc , I wouldnt ever know since I am not in the 'inner clique'..

But then again, if I am THAT rich, I probably wont care what I spend on huh? Its only because I am not , that I am looking at all these... with hmmm... 'sour grapes' ? :p
