Want to spend some time with your family at the ArtScience Museum? Or enjoy the scenery from the Sands Sky Park?
Now there is a chance for you to win tickets to some of the attractions in Singapore. 25 June is the designated Family Day Out, so many families in Singapore will be moving out together and explore these attractions together.
Of course, every day should be “Family Day”, treasure the moments that we have with our closed ones.
An Eco Tree simply sums up the things that we can do save the earth. If we can change ourselves to be more GREEN, we can change everybody else.
Do you really need a plastic bag for your box of biscuits? If not, just say nicely to the cashier: “I don’t need a bag!”
There are so many things that we can start doing to play our part. The Earth is already warming up, Singapore is becoming warmer and warmer.
Do something. Now!
I have already lost count, just how many runs and races are there in Singapore this year?
It is like there is at least one per month and gosh… they are not cheap. Here’s another on 10 July 2011. Think I shall give it a miss since it is held at a place so far away from my home.
28 August 2011, 16.8km.
$45 each for group (10 or more) registration or $50 if you register under “Individual”.
Looks interesting.
Ok, maybe I shall give this one last try. For those who are interested, audition is on 29 May 2011 at Orchard Central, starts at 12pm.
Now, should I try out for YES93.3 or 987FM?
Hmmmm…
Something like the Ninja Warrior and it costs $18 per person. Registration closes on 17 May 2011 which is today!!!! Maybe, it is still possible to sign up.
The Merlion Hotel?? Well, as part of the Singapore Biennale 2011, the iconic Merlion statue has been covered up and converted into a hotel. If you want to see what is inside, you may still do so until 15 May 2011.

The CBD of Singapore is the heart of the nation. Even the parliament is located a stone throw away, that really shows the significance of this area. I still cannot imagine that the whole of Marina Bay used to be the open sea and it was only because of reclamation of land that we have what we have today.

The weather has been unbearably hot for the past few days. Seriously, I wonder how much hotter can it become. I once dreamt that a glass dome covered the whole of Singapore and filled it with cool air. Imagine that happening and no more haze and no more crazy hot weather… but of course that also meant that air planes might have some troubles coming in and out.
During class today, I suddenly thought of the days when I was in the States. Along the west coast, we went to many beaches: white fine sand, bikini babes, crystal clear water and warm climate. The waves were great for surfing and we had a great time. How I wish I am there now.
A more realistic holiday in the short term could be a trip to Hong Kong especially during Winter time. It would be great to visit the Disneyland there and immerse myself in the cool weather.
Really feels like having a break…

Well, another run to consider if you really like to run. Although landmarks at Marina Bay are featured in the banner above, note that the starting point is at Temasek Polytechnic. This could mean that the 10km run might be held at Bedok Reservoir.
It costs $45 per person so think and choose carefully as there are really many many runs coming up.
The tallest fountain in the world and a lot of people believes that the Fountain of Wealth will bring them lots of wealth if they touch the water. Well, it is fun to follow the 'tradition’ and touch the water as you go one round.

I wonder how long will it take to clean all the ‘spikes’ on the 'durians’? To all the unsung heroes who have been cleaning up Singapore, THANK YOU!!! And to those who “accidentally” left your trashes behind, please be civilised and drop them into the bins nearby.

The gang is now in Rio de Janeiro after Brian and Mia Toretto broke Dom out of custody. There were many shots of the Chris Redentor which I really want to visit if I go to Rio one day. Anyway, the movie started with tons of actions in the beginning as Brian and Mia attempted to save Dom. They did and wah lah… suddenly they are wanted as well.
To run away from the FBI, they got themselves into Rio. Without money (which equates to everything else), they decided to do one more job. I shall not disclose too much details here, just go and catch it in the theaters.
There were tons of actions in the beginning and at the end. I personally find that the middle part of the show was a little bit draggy and naggy. Some might argue that if there are too much actions, it would be hard to tell which parts are the climax and it might not be exciting anymore since the audiences are over hyped too much.
Well, this is how I look at it. It is definitely entertaining enough for you to folk out your $$.
5 pieces of mixed BONAFIDE Popeyes Chicken at $5.90 only!!!!! Today only!!!!!

Ho ho ho… Johnnie Walker Jet Black Party will be held on 12 March 2011 and the location will only be made known to the invitees!!! Imagine dancing next to some VVVVVVVIPs at a party with flavours from Abu Dhabi, Tokyo and London… Cool huh…
The location of the party will be announced later but I have a very strong feeling that it will be held at a place high high up in the sky. It could be the Sky Park at Marina Bay Sands or 1-Altitude at One Raffles Place. Both have stunning views of the skyline of Singapore and they are definitely the most stylish place to be at.
Of course, no matter where it is going to be held, I wish to be there at the party. Thankfully we have Nuffnang who is giving out invites to some lucky fellows. I hope one of them is me. Anyway, what “Keep Walking” means to me is…
No matter what happens in life we have to KEEP WALKING.
Flunked the exam or passed the driving test or ate something yummlicious? There are happy times and lousy times and I believe this is call LIFE. Nobody’s life is straight like a line, we will have our ups and downs. This is what make life so interesting.
When we fell down, we have to look back and wonder why it happened. Try to think of things to prevent it from happening and carry on with life.
If you struck Toto, remember that feeling. Whenever you are down and requires some positivity, recall it and move on.
Life is short but it is great. Balancing work and play is what I believe we should all try to do. I have worked hard and now I wish to play hard at the Johnnie Walker Jet Party – *hint *hint!
And, my birthday is around the corner. (^.^)v double *hint *hint.
Thank you Nuffnang for giving us a chance to attend the event.
I just caught an episode of “Word Travels” on TV. Two travellers, Julia and Robin went to places all over the world, did something crazy aka interesting there and wrote about their experiences. I have not been to Dubai so I do not know how true Julia’s statement (as of above) is but one thing for sure, Singapore is different.
With the many races, cultures and religions here, Singapore is pretty vibrant. Although I think we are still far from being New York City, we have done things with our own unique characteristics. With more foreign talents and workers coming into Singapore, maybe things might get even more interesting. Before that can happen, I hope that the infrastructure can be ready to accommodate the increase in population.
Maybe we can build more roads. Maybe we can add two more carriages to the MRT trains. Maybe we can implement water taxis. Maybe we can fly to work. Maybe we can have more shopping malls. Maybe maybe maybe…
Still, the important thing here is to remember our identity as Singaporeans. What makes Singapore, Singapore? Answer: Singaporeans!
While we were sleeping at this side of the world, Apple launched the iPad 2. I don’t know why but I am not that excited about it anymore; maybe there are more tablets in the market now. Maybe it will be for sales next week during the IT Show.
It was a very last minute decision to take IPPT today. Without much training and a suddenly-don’t-know-why painful left knee, I cleared the test. Just 5cm more on the Standing Board Jump and I would have left Bedok Fitness and Conditioning Centre (BFCC) with another $200 richer.
I have always enjoyed going back to BFCC since I had spent half of my NS time there. The current batch of Fitness Specialists behaved just like what I did last time – cold, no smile, no nonsense. This is after all the army and not some country club.
I can never forget the toilet at Level One. When we just moved over to Bedok Camp, our Encik was super duper garung that he made us cleaned that toilet. What for? I still don’t understand. Why did he want FS to do a cleaner’s job when there were cleaners around. Why? Oh well, this is the army.
Maybe I shall train properly and return to BFCC again for another attempt before my window closes soon. Maybe I will… ($.$)v
… I am HOME.
Exactly a year ago, I was at Changi Airport at this time. I had an opportunity to go to People’s Republic of China (PRC) to work for half a year. Together with me were my Dad, Mom and two younger sisters who were there to send me off.
We had breakfast and time somehow slipped past quickly. And then suddenly, it was time for me to go. We hugged and bade farewell as we will only meet again six months later. I walked into the departure hall alone and turned back to say my final goodbye.
That was the first time I ever left Singapore alone. That was also the first time I was away from Singapore for such a long time. That was one experience I will never forget.
Being away from home allowed me to look back at Singapore from another perspective. Some government policies which I wasn’t happy about eventually made sense to me. Now that I can compare Singapore with PRC, I realized that we Singaporeans had taken so so many things for granted.
Our MRT system might be packed during the peak hours but imagine if we do not have it? We will have no choice but to take the bus or cab or drive and the roads will be packed no matter how high ERP are.
During the 1950s, the Fullerton Hotel (former General Post Office building) was along the costal line. Today, we reclaimed land and created the Marina Bay. Not to forget the skyscrapers at Raffles Place, they were nowhere in sight 50 plus years ago.
If we face problems, we can always look for our Members of Parliament (MPs) during the Meet-the-People sessions. I can’t think of another country whose MPs provide such easy access.
I had the Singapore Flag by my side to feel secure. When family and friends are thousand of miles away, surprisingly this worked miraculously. And when I caught the National Day Parade (NDP) from the internet, I almost wanted to pack my stuff and come home.
Now that I am back home, I am doing more to give back. I strongly believe that together we can make things happen and make Singapore the best place to live, work and play.
Singapore will always be my home.
This morning, I smiled and greeted a few uncles and aunties. They were total strangers to me and were surprised when I did. Many times, people will just walked passed them without any hints of gratitude. And some of these uncles and aunties are not exactly proud of what they are doing but they are so so so important. My favourite presenters will be in town this week (28th Feb to 4th Mar 2011) from 6.30am till 9.30am as they bring their show, “Primetime Morning” out of studio and into the crowd.
Catch them if you are in the area. ^^
