The 3rd Youth Trekkers Wanted

Organised by the National Youth Commission of Taiwan, the search for the youth trekkers is in its 3rd year. I have tried the other 2 years but did not succeed; the standard of the itineraries sent in were really good. Maybe I shall try my luck (again) this year.

Basically, one just need to plan an itinerary going to Taiwan and if yours is super duper interesting, you might be able to make your itinerary come true. Give it a try if you really need a holiday or if you really want to go to Taiwan.

Senior Citizens’ Sports Day!

I went to help out at the above event the other day. And gosh, I think it was the first time that I saw so many senior citizens. They walked slowly, spoke slowly but hey, all of us will hit this stage sooner or later. They were divided into groups according to their health and level of fitness to ensure that most of them got to enjoy the games and activities as much as possible.

It is really amazing that some of them are still able to play and joke around. One elderly uncle caught everybody’s surprise and snatched the mic to sing <<甜蜜蜜>>, oh gosh… it was like one of the best version I ever heard.

Kudos to the staff of the home as taking care of these senior citizens ain’t easy. And it really took a lot of efforts to organize this event and I hope they will do more of this for the senior citizens. We can also help too; an extra helping hand is always welcomed anywhere.

If I get to go to Tokyo...

I will dress up as one of my favourite animes' characters.

Naruto would attract a lot of attention. I have the head band but seriously, i wonder where can I get an orange overall just like Naruto's. Hmmmm...

Or I can do a Luffy from One Piece. This should be pretty easy - straw hat + berms.

Or how about Ichigo from Bleach? Hmmmm...

I think the subway is a better choice than the limousine bus - cheaper and faster. ^^

Discover Japan via Haneda Airport, Tokyo

This is super cool, the JNTO Singapore is having this contest - Discover Japan via Haneda Airport, Tokyo - to celebrate the launch of the Haneda Airport's handling of international flights. It was formally known as the Tokyo International Airport when it opened in 1931. When the Narita International Airport was completed in 1978, it took over the international flights and Haneda Airport was left to handle the domestic flights.

On 31st October 2010, it will be a historic moment for Haneda Airport as it will be welcoming international passengers again. I sure hope to be one of the first many to be there; please let me win this contest.

Let's see... if I win the contest, I will leave Singapore on 31st October 2010 and I will have 3 airlines to choose from: Singapore Airlines, Japan Airlines, All Nippon Airways.

Singapore Airlines

31st October: Leaves Singapore at 1530hr and reaches Tokyo (HND) at 2305hr

2nd November: Leaves Tokyo at 0625hr and reaches Singapore at 1250hr

Japan Airlines

31st October: Leaves Singapore at 0820hr and reaches Tokyo (HND) at 1610hr

2nd November: Leaves Tokyo at 2350hr and reaches Singapore at 0630hr (the next day)

All Nippon Airways

31st October: Leaves Singapore at 2200hr and reaches Tokyo (HND) at 0600hr (the next day)

2nd November: Leaves Tokyo at 2330hr and reaches Singapore at 0620hr (the next day)

Seriously, I think JAL has the best timing and I shall be designing my itinerary according to this flight which allows me to enjoy Tokyo as much as possible.

Ha ha Halloween... We are waiting for your screams...

The song is so so so cool loh... so Hong Kong... (^,^)v

Avenue of Stars... wooooo...

Wooooooooooooooooooooo....

It is really cool to dress up as a ghost or something and walk on the street. Kind of AA (attracting attention) but hey, you don't do it all the time; only once (and maybe a few more times) a year during Halloween. We don't dress up during the Chinese 7th lunar month... *choy* people will think I am crazy if I do that during that time... *touch wood*

I will dress up as a Vampire if I get to go to the Avenue of Stars. I have to be properly dress up in order to match the status of this area. (^,^)v

Woooooooooooooooooooo...

Saw the Halloween Parade on TV again.

I remembered seeing the Halloween Parade 2010 @ HK's Disneyland being featured on TVBS the other time. That was how I got to know about this eerie parade in the first place. Anyway, I saw it on TV again a few minutes ago. I think it would be really interesting to go to Hong Kong to have a look no matter what.

We should have something like that here in Singapore. Maybe at the Universal Studios Singapore (USS)? Ya, I think that will be fantastic. Now, let me see... how can I contact the good people from USS... hmmm...

Hong Kong Disneyland's Halloween Parade 2010!

The Chinese celebrates the Hungry Ghost Festival every 7th lunar month of the year. The Westerners have their own version as well - Halloween. It falls on the last day of October, ie 31st October.

Kids are the happiest bunch of people on earth on this day as they dressed up and go around the neighbourhood trick-or-treating. Over the years, Halloween has been gaining popularity in Asian cities like Singapore and Hong Kong who also party on this special day.

Over the next few days, I will be sharing more of this festival and the Halloween happenings in Hong Kong and Singapore.

Ben & Jerry's CHUNKFEST 2010 is back when I am back!

Hippie Hooray! Can you feel it? Can you hear it? Can you taste the excitement that's coming your way? Right behind the curtain, we are buzzing like bees as Chunk Fest sets to take on centre-stage once again.

It's the very same, one and only, hippie-themed ice cream festival held once every year in Singapore, since 2008. Celebrating all things good – peace, love and of course, Vermont's finest ice cream from Ben & Jerry's.

This year, we're swirling in more groovy mixes of hippy-trippy ice cream (with 12 exclusive flavors, specially flown in just-for-the-day), sweet sweet moosic, and lots of other fun-tastic activities – like the ever-awesome Vermonster Challenge everyone loves!

So get ready to party like never before at Chunk Fest 2010 – it's gonna be a real blast from the past!

Rain rain rain... so much...

It has been raining and raining in Singapore and flooding occurred again and again. Isn't the Marina Barrage suppose to prevent floods in the low lying areas? What happened?

Mistakes in the design? Miscalculations?

All in all, it doesn't look good for Singapore; these floods can be and should be prevented. 

But the above picture showed that Singaporeans are willing to help each other when someone is in trouble. And, that's nice.

Now this camera looks very attractive to me... should I buy it?
