Why are we working so hard ?

Came across a News article there other day.

Copywriter, 24, tweets about working 30 hours in a row, dies the next day.

I believed our body cannot go without rest, or at least have short breaks. The lady really worked too hard, and sadly, she eventually passed away.

In Singapore, our normal office working hours, are usually of 8am to 5pm, or 9am to 6pm.

Yes, at times, there are "unexpected" issues, we have to work later than that timing, just to meet the deadline dateline.

This is how a typical workplace is.


Work is important, it brings us the Salary or Money($), we need for all our basic needs.

Health is important, it allows us to enjoy with the Salary or Money($) we received in return.



And what i was doing on my leave yesterday ?



I ate Ice Kacang, and people watching in a rather empty food court.

Brotherhood

It was a first time i see such things in Singapore.

RIOT.

Ang Chia or Police Tactical Unit (Singapore) being activated.




What one person can do is limited, what a big group can do is scary.








Come to think of it, im currently handling India region.

Better do more Push Up in coming days... Just In Case.

Shotcut, is often a wrong cut.

One of the days, last week, on the way to work.

Was sitting at the bus stop, waiting for the bus to arrive.

Suddenly i saw a taxi went up the curb, and onto the pavement, and finally stopped at the grass patch area.

Upon it stopping, a lady, came jumping, and running out of the back passenger door.




It seems the driver fainted or something. Did not see anyone coming out of the driver seat, throughout the whole incident.


Luckily, the ambulance arrived shortly after, and I hope the driver is fine !

The driver might have dozed off ?

Been too tired, maybe he has been driving night shift ??

Worked too hard to keep the money coming in, and finally the body cannot take it, and lose control of the steering wheel ???

Life is short. Take good care, everyone. 

Tis the season to be jolly...

"Tis the season to be jolly, Fa la la la la, la la la la."

Before we know it, it's December again !

Which means 2013 is coming to an end soon too.... oh time passes so fast !!

And also, Christmas is coming again ! ^^

But then, it's also the year end closing of the company, or at least for my company..... Zzz....

Have you got a taste of the log cake already ?

Picture of log cake below, was being received from the bank, my company was using. =)



In this month, there should be tons of eating, and meeting up, with exchanging of christmas gift.

May all of you have a great time, and don't forget to exercise too, huh!!! =P

Thank you again, Hammy.

Hi All !

Am just back home from a short getaway, or rather a well deserved holiday from work.

It was a great trip and great company, and of course the great food, and scenery of another country.


But on the other hand, i got a bad news.


Since one hamster left me in Sept 2013.

The other one surviving also bid me goodbye when i was oversea.



The very last photo my brother took for me.

The body was cold, and lying at one of its favorite hiding place.

Sighs. I even gave it a good bath, and washed its cage before i fly off.

Sighs. Could not say the last goodbye to both hamsters.

Thank you, again, Hammy. Miss you !

Have you been Thor-ed ?

Recently, there is this new movie, called " Thor: The Dark World"

Sorry, i am backdated. Only know Thor when i was watching The Avengers the other time. (HAHA!)
The only "Hammer" i knew was THIS. 

And i thought, if there's a Female Thor, who would they looked like ?? Hmm.....




SGAG made Thor into a funnier joke, i feel. HAHA !

Have you Thor-ed ?? =D




The funniest was, Pat-Thor-Tiah. Which means Stomachache in Hokkien.

HAHA !!

Are you still with me ? =p

*Blows the dust away*

Hi All, are you still with me ?

One month no posting. Sorry ya!

Work was busy, Life was busy. Therefore, lack of updates.

More to come. ^^

Anyway, saw this very cool and catchy in flight safety video from Virgin America.



It's not like the normal type of in flight safety instructions we get when we board the airplane.

Creative.

What a Friday !

Last Friday, it was really a bad day.

Work was busy, day was long.

However i was still being disturb by something.


Yes, it was a cockroach !!  AW~ 
In the end, i killed it.

After which, i took a well deserved shower, and wanted to relax myself by watching the tv.

Halfway through. Something happened again. 


I get this on my tv.

As instructed, i restart the equipment. It was still not usable.

*Pulls hair*

Then, i came to realized, it was Starhub's fault. 

Alright, so i played some games on my mobile phone, in my room.

And suddenly, the light bulb in my room burnt out !

Summary : What a day !!

What has the society become ?

Few days back, someone share this funny video of an old man, trying to "fight" at a bus interchange...



Today i see someone sharing about her Mother-In-Law being beaten up by their neighbour.





What has our society become ?

Singapore becoming more fast paced, people getting too stressful ???

Gone were the days, where people give way to each other in public transport...

Gone were the days, where we can still be able to find a table in a food court... now we need to "Fight" for it, if you agree with me ??

跑跑人

Its another stressful month.
Quarter End Month.
When everyone chases you at work. and i really mean EVERYONE.

So, what to de stress yourself ?

I watched Running Man shows and been too engrossed in it recently.
"跑跑人" i call it.
HAHA!!

It's a variety show, whereby the hosts, and guest stars are being divided in teams, and playing against each other.
The hidden "R" signs hidden, and to be discovered by them.
The famous "ripping" off of the name tag, usually made us laugh out loudly, don't we?
Those funny games and missions, the producers thought of..

Some of my favourite characters are......

The spartan Kim Jong Kook.. Tiger..



The funny Lee Kwang Soo aka the Giraffe..



They also have romantic moments too!!



And, of course, The Monday Couple !!



Dont think they are real couple in life, but i sure hope they are a couple!!

So Jem..

Was shocked to hear of the ceiling collapse in the newly opened Jem shopping mall.

The news article reported that there was a leak in a water-pipe led to the Wednesday night collapse of a portion of the false ceiling. I was there few days back...

It was only opened for like 3 months?? Hmm....



The construction was not being done well?? Too rushed for the grand opening?? Hmm....

Anyway, the mall is closed "until further notice". Wondered when is the "further notice"..

Oh well, luckily i was not there last night..

Heng....

换汤不换药 ( huàn tāng bù huàn yào )

换汤不换药( huàn tāng bù huàn yào ).

In English, i just translate it to : [a change in form but not in content], or Form or Name, may have changed, the content is still the same old one..

Days before, Apple intro their new Iphone 5S and 5C. 



The outlook, is looking the same!!
With not much breakthrough to me..  If you consider the finger scanning function as new... 

Actually i am looking forward to buying 5C, with different colours, which was rumored to serve the mid-to-low market.. 


Was thinking that the Iphone 5C would be sold at SGD600 (Without contract) sadly, it is S$848 for a 16GB model, and S$988 for the 32GB model. 

WOW. 
 




Suddenly i feel Apple kinda lost that "Magic" after Steve Jobs. 

I hope the IOS 7 coming next week, can make me feel better. 

Luckily for me, i still have a Samsung S2, somewhere in my cupboard. 

You Know I'm Bad, I'm Bad...

Attitude is an expression of favor or disfavor toward a person, place, thing, or event (the attitude object).

We all have that, just how we show it out to others. 

Since the Mid-Autumn Festival or Mooncake Festival is around the corner,most shopping centres, should have events selling or promoting their very own mooncakes..


Yummy mooncakes!!
Yes, someone so stingy like me, would be going around the events, doing all the food tasting of them all.
And most probably won't even buy from one stall... =x

That day during shopping trip, i came across one, and yes i did the same, by tasting the ones that they promoted.
Tried two kinds of their mooncakes, and the salesgirl keep pushing others, and kinda forcing you to buy at least one (instead of a whole box of it.. )

Firstly, i tried to walk around, and hopefully she wont pester me. *It did not work.
I tried to be honest and tell her i will look around and be back again later...
And then horror happened !
Her face immediately had a 360 degrees turn into an angry face, and walked off !

Ok, that is Attitude. 

I would expect her to smile, and at least say "Thank You".

Oh, well.. she should have expected such situation in her line, but it's rather unprofessional to do so right in front of the customer.

On another day, got an unknown call from some job agency guy.. who keep pestering to do an phone interview.
Nicely i rejected him, and asked him to email me instead..
He was very reluctant to hang up the phone.

I had no choice, this time, i was the one to show my Attitude to him.
"I am sitting right outside my boss office" i replied him.
After saying this, he still did not get the hint, but continued pestering me a few minutes, before ending the call.

Talk about being professional.

Several calls, were being seen on my mobile from the same number that day too. -___-"



You Know I'm Bad, I'm Bad...  Come On, You Know..

We all have Attitude. However, do try to think of how the party receiving it feels, before showing Attitude.

Thank You, Hammy.

Thank you for biting me, when i tried to catch you.

Thank you for welcoming me, when i reach home, looking at me as i opened the door.

Thank you for bringing laughters, during that time when your cage was not being closed properly, and thus you ran out, and around the living room.

However, it was too sudden, that you just left us like that !

Mood changed when the news was being shared to me.
You were still alright, when i went off to work in the morning, right ?

*This photo is taken long ago, when i caught him in a cute sleeping position.


There were 2 x hamsters, now there's only 1 x left. (Guess its about time for the other one too...?)

I love animals, but dont like the truth that they will die and leave us, someday.

Thank you again, Hammy !
Miss you !

The New Batman ?

Ben Affleck has been confirmed to act as the new Batman in the next movie.

Let me try to imagine his face, in the Batman suit. . . .


Hmmm... Hmm....

Personally, Christian Bale, already done a great job in the Batman movie series.

Too bad, he is not doing so in the next one.. =(

I still prefer Christian Bale, to be the Batman. 

How about you ?? 

Shall rewatch these movies over the weekends.. 

2-room HDB flats for singles ?

Came across this article while reading news on the internet.

HDB launches 2-room flats in non-mature estates for eligible singles
An old news, i guess many would have already read it. It reported that for those singels who earn up to S$5,000 per month and are 35 years and above, can buy a 2 room flat, non-mature estates!

If i am not married by then, i might want to get one 2 room flat, plant some plants at the corridor.
I can watch them grow everyday..



Come to think of it, times and rules keep changing nowadays (if you notice..)

There are still a few things, that i truly miss.

I am missing the Dragon Playground near my current void deck, i am sure many would, and the younger people, might not even have a chance to see it, anymore.


Credits to photographer HERE.

Also still trying to find the Primary School friend who was staying few blocks away from me, and we used to send each other Christmas Cards, (Without using stamps, save money!!) through each others' post letter box.

Next, the much often Pasar Malam or Night Market, happening at the void decks.
The nice food, cheap things you can buy... and of course, the famous 燕窝水 (Bird Nest Drink).

This one lah, you got drink before ?? =)


It was even much large scale (Uncle Ringo style) kind of events many years ago.. with the mini rides and mini games...

Nowadays, where got such pasar malam ? Soon it might just die off in Singapore, i predict.

I missed the old HDB kind of life, and events.

So much to miss, but life still have to move on.

Someday, i will also have my own house.
If i do, i wish i can have a big big house, would love my room to look like this!! 



And my very own, movie room. ^^




If only, i have the MONEY.

Anyway, if you are looking for a house of your own, try going to iProperty.com.sg!

Happy 48th Birthday, Singapore !

9 Aug.

National Day.

Public Holiday in Singapore.

With the Hari Raya Aidil Fitri, on 8 Aug, and National Day on 9 Aug, it become a well deserved super long weekends!! ^^

Happy National Day to everyone !!



We have a vision for tomorrow,

Just believe, just believe..

Cups ?

Was surfing around on You Tube, have you heard of this song before ?
I think i am slow in getting to know this song!

The MTV looks nice though.



Anna Kendrick - Cups (Pitch Perfect's "When I'm Gone")'


[Verse 1:]
I got my ticket for the long way 'round
Two bottle 'a whiskey for the way
And I sure would like some sweet company
And I'm leaving tomorrow, wha-do-ya say?

[Chorus 1:]
When I'm gone
When I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me by my hair
You're gonna miss me everywhere, oh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone

[Verse 2:]
I've got my ticket for the long way 'round
The one with the prettiest of views
It's got mountains, it's got rivers, it's got sights to give you shivers
But it sure would be prettier with you

[Chorus 2:]
When I'm gone
When I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me by my walk
You're gonna miss me by my talk, oh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone





And of course, people starts making their own version too!
Here are some that i enjoyed.

Run Run Run

Long time since i posted running post.

( Yes, i been lazy, and busy.HAHA! )

Anyway, took part in the Jurong Lake Run 2013, in July 2013.
It was a 10km run, and of a good weather ! ^^

The cheering from the volunteers helped too.
Their "加油，加油。。"
And, of course, the very important Water Points that i aimed to reach, so that i can have some water to drink, and carry on running.

With mixture of runs and walks.. i managed to find the run. *(Timing was not important, finishing the race was.)


Trying to motivate myself at the 9km marking with this photo...

Continued running and, i reached !


Well done, next run soon.
=)

Bruce Lee - 40 years - 20 July 1973

Time passes so fast, its already 40 years of his death !

More reading can be found on Yahoo's news article.

His way of shouting and fighting.. That yellow suit..






Some of his best quotes..



Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.”

You have been a legend, Bruce Lee.

Hail storm in Singapore - Tuesday, 25 June 2013

Past few days, it was pure heat and haze in the air in Singapore.

Today, it finally rained, and a Hail Storm !
And it happened in the west area of Singapore, the area where i am staying. (But i was in office, and did not witness it with my own eyes.)

However along the way home, i did saw trees of the whole road, actually fell. And in turn, causing a little traffic jam.

I took a picture when i alighted at my bus stop. A block signature was found hanging at the opposite block too !



Anyway, check out the pictures people caught over at Stomp.

What is a hail storm ?
Hail is a form of solid precipitation. It consists of balls or irregular lumps of ice, each of which is called a hailstone Sounds like "raining ice" =P

* * * * * * * *

Since the hail storm happened in the west area of Singapore, ( the area where i am staying ), of course the rain and wind was strong.
Believe it or not, Mum called and informed me that my room got kinda flooded as i did not really shut the windows, and "locking" it.

Yes, i took about 2 hours, to shift my study table, and clean... It could have been longer, luckily mum and dad, helped out!

It was a chance to clear the dirty room. HAHA!

Friends in Singapore, did you witness the Hail Storm today? =)

Hope you are doing good!

Hi Michael,

Hope you are doing good. It's been 4 years since your departure.

Your music still stay. Not to worry.

The Haze, back with a vengeance.

Every year, the haze will come back to us. 
The wind blowing towards us... The lack of rain... 

After a few days of breathing in dust, and itchy eyes.. this time around, it got really terrible, with the Pollutant Standards Index (PSI) hitting a new record of 400, on 21 Jun 2013.
Anything above 300 is considered, Hazardous.

The following picture, cheered me up a little.



Anyway, forecast for 23 Jun 2013, was predicted to be in the very unhealthy range of 200 to 300.

Got myself a mask (not the better N95) but just to prevent myself from breathing in too much of the unwanted particles.


I think i looked more handsome with half the face covered up. (Haha!)

Let's hope it rains, or the fire in Indonesia gets better.

Meanwhile, to all, tons of water, take care!

IOS 7, Android, 傻傻分不清楚。

News back dated few days ago..
Apple got this new IOS 7 that is coming out..



First look, nice !
New colours !!
More features !!!

I want to download NOW ! =P

But then, a deeper look, it looks familiar....... (with me, as an ex-Samsung SII user.)



So no new iphone, but a new IOS 7. 

How do you find this IOS 7?

Now should i wait for other new iphones, or try to locate my previous SII...?
Hmm Hmm...

Still in Youth Club ?

Few days back, i received a letter from People's Association (PA).

It was a letter of notice, asking me to a Youth Club meeting. My first thought : since when i was in the Youth Club? And at my age, can i still considered a Youth? (HAHA!!)

According to Wikipedia, "Youth Club" refers to a youth social club, a place where young people can meet and participate in activities such as football, soccer, basketball, table tennis, or video games, or religious activities.




It was the first time, in my 20+ years staying in this area, and the very first time i got this invite.

Now the next question: will i get fined if i did not attend? =x

Have you received such letter before ??

Anyway, i should not be attending it, or....
Maybe i should start practicing the YMCA song.....

Oh, Y... M... C... A....

Bend it like Beckham

Watch this movie before?



At age 38, Beckham retires. 
He was in tears in his final, last match few days back..
PSG was the Ligue 1 champions already.



Thank you Beckham !

I not his hardcore fan, but still feel sad for him to retire.
The many amazing golas, and free kicks he took. Sigh.

A chinese saying : 长江后浪推前浪 ( cháng jiāng hòu làng tuī qián làng ).
"The analogy of things to continue moving forward. New things to replace the old. "

Let's take a look at his goals, one more time. 

Next movie to watch ?

After Iron Man, there seems to be quite a few good movies coming up !

Man of Steel



Thor: The Dark World



So exciting !
Which on do you think it is more worth it to watch? =P

Man hitting worker in office

Reported in Yahoo.

Abuse in office.
Man hits office worker.



First saw this video on Facebook..
It sure looked painful !!

Does that poor guy deserved such a treatment of hitting him repeatedly on the head ?
Even with a major mistake in work, at most we get a serious scolding or at most a warning letter from the Human Resource Department.

Will you be sounding it out, if you are that guy ?


Wondering which company is this, and of how Ministry of Manpower and the NTUC, will be replying to this incident.

Terrible incident.

Have you got these app ?

Recently there has been few advertisement on mobile apps, for chatting, did you notice ?

Firstly, i saw Line.



Yes the one, with handsome guy, Siwon. (Scream, ladies!)

The one one that i saw on television recently is Wechat.

For this advertisement, they managed to find Rainie Yang, and  Show Luo...



I have both applications on my phone.
Personally i like Line more, due to its cute pictures of Rabbits, and Bears.. haha! And of course, the "free call" function !!
With this function, we can use the internet to chat with the other party, who is also having the app. ^^

However, i think more people are using Wechat this few days, as i already got quite a few friends, doing so.

Which one do you like?

*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*

Anyway, ending this post with another version of Wechat advertisement.
And a touching one.



Cheers !

The past week, full of events.

Credits for a Facebook Page called Welcome the World for the round up happenings in the week, with a picture.

 

BOSTON, US: 2 explosions were heard when runners were reaching the finishing line of the Boston Marathon 2013. Three people were killed in the terror act and resulted in more than 175 injured. The FBI then released photos of the two suspects a few days later. Shortly after the FBI released a few updated photos of the suspects, a shootout was reported at the MIT campus - a security policeman was shot dead at the scene. The suspects then hijacked a car and was involved in a car chase with the local police force. Gunfire was exchanged, but at that point of time, the police didn't think that the two suspects were actually the two mastermind behind the Boston Marathon bombing. They were soon found out to be brothers and 1 was shot dead during the car chase. Another however managed to escape which then prompted the police to shut down the entire town of Boston for the manhunt. 24 hours into the manhunt, the suspect - 19 years old, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, was caught after a resident informed the police that they have seen blood stains near his boat at the backyard.

TEXAS, US: A day after the bombing at the Boston Marathon, a huge explosion went off at a plant in Texas. As of date, 14 people were confirmed dead, with some others still uncounted for. The explosion other injured 200 others.

DELHI, INDIA: Protesters shouted and demonstrated anti-government banners and posters after a 5 years old girl was gang raped. This was the latest news followed by the few gang-raped incidents reported in India in the past 4 months. The girl's condition is currently stable and the suspect was caught.

CHINA: H7N9 Bird Flu has increased to 96 cases (as of date). Major China cities have too closed their live poultry farms to limit the spread of the new virus. New deaths have been reported this week which thus brought the total to 18 deaths. There was however no evidence of human-to-human transmission yet.

HONG KONG: Uprising Hong Kong singer, Sita Chan, died in a car crash on early hours of Wednesday. She has recently won the TVB best new female singer award in January this year. Hong Kong celebrities also took to social media on Wednesday to express grief and shock.

SINGAPORE: Veteran actor, Huang Wen Yong, passed away in early evening on Saturday. He has been in and out of hospital over the past few months after viewers have noticed him becoming skinnier during a ceremony late last year. He has recently appeared on Toggle to reassure fans that he is recovering and hope to return to the industry soon. The sudden news caught many by surprise, with many local celebrities describing his death as a great loss to the Singapore television industry.

========

Just to comment on a few of them....

Prayers for the people of Boston, good thing, the suspects are already being caught.
The bomb seems to just come out of nowhere, without any alerts or warnings..


Terrible.

========

China, has 96 cases of H7N9 and death of 18.
Although there is still no proven evidence of human-to-human transmission, i think we all should be careful too.

Harmless looking they are, but deadly viruses they spread. 


========

So many happenings.
The one that was so close to us was of passing away of Huang Wen Yong.

He was the Veteran MediaCorp artiste that people like myself, will know him.
There was just so many dramas that he acted in..



He was also the Fortune God too..



The drama i remembered him as, was The Awakening (雾锁南洋)
 Huang Wenyong as "Ah Shui" and Xiang Yun as "Ah Mei"



He was 60.


R.I.P.   Huang Wen Yong

========

Let's hope for a better week ahead.
Prayers.

What is Gwiyomi ?

Gwiyomi.

What is this anyway ?
According to Wikipedia, The Gwiyomi song, or Kiyomi song (귀요미송), is a K-pop single by the South Korean indie musician Hari.[1] The song was released on February 18, 2013 and is based on an Internet meme known as the Gwiyomi Player, which was invented in October 2012 by the K-pop idol Jung Il Hoon and has inspired many similar versions uploaded onto the Internet by Asian netizens.

The song goes like this..



Like the previous Gangnam Style, many people also started their own version of this song.



A girl tried to speed up the process...



And for someone, it was a nightmare !!




So, are you doing your own version of it, soon? =P

龚琳娜

龚琳娜(Gong Linna) has another new song again!

The first song i knew of was "Disturbed"《忐忑》pinyin：tante。"



Lyrics is simple, only those few words.

And this guy imitated her so well !! Haha!



And then, another girl also imitated her....



HAHA!

And someone shared this new song she sang.




How you find it? =)

The secret admirer

I am sure the following is a scam.



Someone named "Esther" has interests in me !

"My name is Miss Esther, am looking for a kind person in my life, then after viewing your profile at this site ( facebook ) i became interested in knowing you, l will also like to know you the more so l can tell you more about me with my pictures for you to know whom l am ."

I am so touched.

Miss Esther, i am sorry, i cannot accept you.

I even tried to search your profile on Facebook, but it was not found.




Call me, Maybe ??
=)

GI JOE 2 Retaliation

Hello All !
Are you still with me in this full of dust blog?

Work was busy (Being quarter end,again) and therefore a lack of updates. =)

Luckily, it was a super long weekends, with Friday, being a public holiday, Good Friday.

Today, being Saturday, met up with my friends, for a movie.

We watched GI JOE 2 Retaliation.



Was actually looking forward to it, as it seems a full action packed movie.
The actions are there, i admit, but not the story.
It could be me, i cant seem to link the flow of the story, after the show ended... can you? =)

I watched G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra before, if i did not remember wrongly, the characters were able to run and fly, with the help of a suit they wore. (Sounds like Ironman)

It was a bit of out of logic, but still, enjoyed the fighting, and the "unlimited bullets". =P

Universal Studio Singapore 2 Mar 2013

I finally got the chance to visit Universal Studio Singapore last sat...!!

I was not the super adventurous type, who played all the rides. (I took a few..)


Of course, i took the Transformer Ride !! (My Favourite !)

Trying to be brave, i took the Battlestar Galactica, but only took the red one. HAHA!!

If you have not been there before, here's how it feels.. or rather looked like....



My limit, was the red one. =D



Bumped into Kungfu Panda.. ! =P

 
And Shrek And Fiona... ! =P


And this very old fashion police car along the road...

In between, it started to rain. Sadly, i also missed the live show at The Water World, due to the rain.


Luckily, i came, well prepared. =)

Happy Birthday to Myself !

Today, 11 Feb, is my birthday.

Wish myself good health, and tons of money.. HUAT ah~

Happy Chinese New Year 2013 !

Mr Ong Teng Cheong (22 January 1936 - 8 February 2002)

Dear Mr Ong Teng Cheong,

8 Feb.
You been away for 11 years.
Hope you are doing well up above the sky.

"I am satisfied with what I did. I hope it was all for the best. I was elected to do a job. And I had to do that job whether the government — or anyone else — liked it or not. Even as a minister, I was never afraid of doing something that my cabinet colleagues disagreed with." - Ong Teng Cheong, who passed away today, 11 years ago.



I hope you are watching how Singapore is going at the moment, and can help her.

Give a sign.

Filling 1 Litre water into a 500ml water bottle.

Last week. there was a news article about the Government, with plans to have our population to 6.9 million by 2030...

And the next few days, there were articles of reclaiming the land.. new mrt routes.. better health planning..

From the way it looks, the 2 x following pictures might really come true.. ?





On Friday, someone wrote an article on Yahoo.sg, on his views of increasing population to 7 million.
A big big NO, was being reflected in that article.

I think most of us would also think so..

My personal encounters on our public transport was also frustrating.
Let me share, my personal experience (photos), on my way home, and to work.


1) This is a very common situation when i go to work. (Yes, i don't own a car, with the almost SGD 100k COE price), often, or rather on many occasions, we are being forced to squeeze ourself, onto that bus, in order to report on time for work.
This also occur during the knock off timing.


2) This is also another common scene we often see, everyday, on our MRT platform.
The platform, overcrowded, and trains being delayed.
My personal experience, the next train to arrive 3 mins later, i stood there for 10 mins, no train arrived, and the crowds just keep coming in. 

And then, you would say, why dont we go home at a later timing, or go to work at an earlier timing ?

For me, if there is chance to sleep for that extra 5 mins, i would do so. (let me know if you wont.)

As for going home, at a later timing?

Check out my next photo.


Guess what time is this?
It was 11+pm in the night.
I was still being squeezed to the corner of the door area..

Let's see, now there is about 5.3 million people here, i will experience such situation....
How will it be like with 6.9 million population ?

It's not only about the transport.. the housing.. the medical.. having more people to fight for that one job...

Singapore is getting more stressful.

Only one expression.

Everyone needs it, everyone uses it.

NOTE : This post shall be posted, and preferably read after dinner time.

马桶.
In English, it is being translated to "Toilet".

Eeeks !! Why this topic ??

The story is due to the office public toilet being made dirty by someone recently....

How dirty ?

Not to scare off readers, i just put it as "Evidence" of "exported substance" left behind, all over the place, to describe the situation.
The rest is up to your imagination, unless you want me to take a picture of it? =P

Still wondering who was it... (Hmm. . . however i suspected someone already...)

Toilet, can be your best friend, but please dont dirty all over the place, can ??

Clean up your own SHIT ! 

That voucher that scammed me..

*Blows off the dust on the website*

Yes, not been updating here lately.. however, i would like to bring the attention to a scam i got myself into, lately.

I think most of you heard of Websites like Groupon, Deals.com.sg, or Street Deal...

A voucher i bought from Street Deal few months back, i was unable to redeem it.
What happened ??

I bought the voucher, a good deal, a 3D2N stay at 5* Hotel & Suites with Daily Breakfast & Complimentary WiFi + 2-way Flights via AirAsia/ Tiger Airways. for SGD 150. 
And the redemption valid for 3 months.

I thought "Wah! Good deal !!!"

Bought the voucher, and keep it until recently i realized the redemption period is ending.

As according to the voucher, we can just go to the system, and book which date to go.
Did as instructed, and then........

Got an error message !



I tried that for the few days, and was still getting the same error.

I decided to email the company (Travelsmoove). No one replied my email.

The next few days, i followed up and called their office number. No one answered my call.

Did my own research, and through a friend on Twitter (Cheers to power of Social Media!), shared me this facebook page called "TravelSmoove Scammed Me"
I was relieved to know i was not alone, and not in the worst situation.

With this page, I send emails to whatever emails i can find on the page, hints from the comments of the people in the page... and to Streetdeal.sg..

Latest update : The company was being put under liquidation, the company winded up, the assets and property of the company redistributed.

With advices from Streetdeal.sg (not sure if they are pushing the responsibilities or really helping..), I sent all the document needed to the Provisional Liquidator of Absolutinspira Pte. Ltd. hoping to get back my refund.

My advice to all friends : cheap not equate to good. 

Not sure if i can get back the refund yet. (SIGH)

Be careful, spread the news, dont be scammed, like me.

Kittens found chopped into pieces outside Chong Pang flat...

So shocked at the news !
(Sorry, i am not attaching the photos, reason being it is very cruel.)

Which sicko would do such a thing ?!

Poor kittens !!

Now Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) and a member of public, is offering rewards to catch this sicko.

Do you have any information about this incident ??

Spread the news.
I hope that person get caught soon... !!
