   <description><![CDATA[First, there were the 'mickey mouse' apartments of 500 sq ft or smaller. In Suites@Guillemard, for example, there are units as small as 258 sqft, which is the size of 21/2 carpark spaces. Now penthouses in several developments to be launched have shrunk too, to less than 1,000 sqft. In Kembangan Suites, there are shrunken penthouses as small as 635 sq ft, about the size of an average three-room Housing Board flat.]]></description>

   <link><![CDATA[http://www.straitstimes.com/Think/Story/STIStory_451643.html]]></link>
   <description><![CDATA[StarHub's offer to host SingTel's pay-TV channels - including its star striker, the English Premier League (EPL) - for free is a bold move, but it will fail.

   <description><![CDATA[Cambridge originated in the 13th century. It started with the expulsion of foreigners from the University of Paris in 1167 which caused many English scholars to return from France and settle in Oxford. In 1209, there was a dispute with townsfolk in Oxford; some scholars left Oxford and formed Cambridge - and that's why we are here today. There have been many ups and downs over the centuries but today, Cambridge is a vibrant and forward-looking institution.]]></description>
