		<description><![CDATA[ Two days ago, my two friends and I went to Far East Plaza to get a handphone each since we needed the handphones to do some testing and data gathering.

		<title>Tele-Marketing With High Ethical Standards</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As a followup to the previous post, I&#8217;m about to make some suggestions on what I think companies should do to avoid irritating potential customers.

		<title>Lack of Innovation in Singapore?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s a common discussion that pops up at any event. Some people said that Singaporeans are not creative or original enough or simply just not innovative.
