The document discusses cost of living increases in Asia, the history of the old Kallang Stadium in Singapore, and the work of pediatric nurses. It notes that Singapore has the second highest cost of living in Asia after Japan. The old Kallang Stadium hosted many events from 1976 to 2006 but was demolished in 2011 to make way for a new Sports Hub. Pediatric nurses play a crucial role in caring for children who cannot communicate their symptoms and find satisfaction when their young patients recover.
