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... !!

If I Die Young lyrics by The Band Perry

Am i too slow in catching the new songs?
Only recently that i get to listen to this song.. find it very nice.. Do you?


If I Die Young lyrics by The Band Perry
If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother
She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors
Oh, and life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no
Ain't even gray, but she buries her baby

The sharp knife of a short life
Well, I've had just enough time

If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

The sharp knife of a short life
Well, I've had just enough time

And I'll be wearing white when I come into your kingdom
I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger
I've never known the loving of a man
But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand

There's a boy here in town, says he'll love me forever
Who would have thought forever could be severed by
The sharp knife of a short life
Well, I've had just enough time

So put on your best, boys, and I'll wear my pearls
What I never did is done

A penny for my thoughts, oh no, I'll sell 'em for a dollar
They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singing
Funny, when you're dead how people start listening

If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

The ballad of a dove
Go with peace and love
Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket
Save them for a time when you're really gonna need them, oh

The sharp knife of a short life
Well, I've had just enough time
So put on your best, boys
And I'll wear my pearls

One colleague gave out a Christmas cookie when i reach office.. Nicely baked..



And there it is, the Christmas Lunch by the company...



Best part of the lunch, i won a Chocolate hamper during the lucky draw at lunch !!
(YEAH!)



The earpiece, which was my wish list for the company gift exchange.



This burning candle and aromatic oil with potpourri (Is this the right description?), was given by my boss.



Then was the friends gathering at night. Food, and catching up, plus the gift exchange..

With our christmas gift under the christmas tree.. HAHA!



And, i got a bottle of wine, YEAH~

Another new method to prevent cancer ??

It seems scientists discovered another new method to prevent cancer......

It is squeezing of the breasts.

HUH !! My eyes opened wide, when i saw the header of this article.

The article mentioned that Experiments found that physical pressure led cells back to normal growth patterns, and that even after compression was no longer applied, the malignant cells stopped growing.
And therefore can prevent cancer.

So those with lovers, wife, you know what to do.



Or, I can volunteer to help to squeeze..!

HAHA!!

Full of Shit

That day, while having lunch, one of our lunch khaki had bird shit falling on her arm.

"Eeeee...." she shouted. And grabbing tons of tissue paper to clean it.


We had a good laugh that day.

* * * * * * * *

Sorry to laugh at her.
Last evening when i was on my way home after work, i encountered the same situation.

I was traveling up the escalator to take the public bus home.. when i reached the platform, "some liquid" fall onto my hair. (I felt it but then thought it was rain, as it was raining.. but i forgot the platform area was sheltered.)

I ignored, and continue walking.

Suddenly ! I saw the right of my polo tee, there is this whitish, plus a bit of yellowish substance...

Oh no! It's bird shit !!!!
Laugh at me, i actually took some and smell it. (To double confirm.)

I rushed to the nearest toilet to clean it up.

My first time.
I wonder how many people saw this.......



I must really shout, HUAT ah !! (My favorite word to use.)
Huat (pronounced as Huat), is the hokkien language for prosperous. 

A day full of shit.
At work, and on my head.

HUAT ah !
