	<description><![CDATA[I don't bitch about my bosses online, but once in a while I do post some reflections or share some interesting snippets from the industry and workplace onto Facebook. Sometimes these include things about bosses or coworkers, inevitably (no names have been mentioned though. And I can't possibly keep talking about how much I love my desk or how smelly the washroom is. Wait, …]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[Earlier this month, a full time national serviceman from the army died during training. Subsequently on facebook I caught a post about a girl making a comment that Singaporeans are too weak. While I do not know both the deceased serviceman and the girl who made the comment, but I have some sort of a related encounter myself.  Some time back I attended a call-up. It was short …]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[播音了六十几载的丽的呼声， 终于宣布停播。 报纸议论纷纷， 说什么时代变迁， 说什么保留， 说什么惋惜。 当中有几个人又是忠实听众呢？  不说有线广播， 就算是大气电波的无线广播，除了驾车人士需 要留意路况，现在多少人还有收听电台节目呢 ？ 当然这当中没有对与错， 路上的人变成低头族， 只能归咎于时代变迁。 我自认很少扭开收音机， 因为我钟情于粤语广播 (本地电台是无法满足 …]]></description>

	<dc:creator>chillycraps</dc:creator>
	<description><![CDATA[The other evening I was at a gathering with fellow mechanical engineers at the club. Over dinner we chatted and shared our experience at work.  One engineer, who works at the polytechnic, shared a scene at the school's workshop. A student was asking the workshop assistant where he could find a spanner. So the assistant pointed towards the rack and told the student to grab it …]]></description>

	<dc:creator>chillycraps</dc:creator>
	<description><![CDATA[During my holiday in Sydney, we used the CityRail extensively and I would say it has left me quite an impression.  People living in efficiency-demanding  Singapore should be familiar with hi-tech unmanned rolling stocks or the shiny platform screen doors. But in Sydney we saw some old trains and even older stations. There were station masters blowing the whistle to signal for …]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[Ok I just got tagged by uglyfatchick. It has been a very long time since I last did stuff like this and all. For the fun of it, might as well ask myself these questions as well.  1. What's your dream home like? Well-lit, cosy, naturally ventilated, maybe a bit zen-like? Or perhaps a cafe, bookshelves, coffee table, food for thoughts, etc. Regardless, a dream home should have …]]></description>

	<dc:creator>chillycraps</dc:creator>
	<description><![CDATA[In Singapore many of the lifts have that glass windows on the doors, perhaps to deter any possible mischief happening in the lift. The magic of those little windows is that you can see from outside, and also from inside.  This was what happened. We were inside the lift and the lift doors were closing. Then through the windows we could see this woman reaching right in front of …]]></description>

	<dc:creator>chillycraps</dc:creator>
	<description><![CDATA[Come to the last day of our Sydney trip. Was deciding if I should do a Bondi Beach or Taronga Zoo, and we went to the zoo in the end. It didn't feel right not to see a koala if you go to Australia.  We had breakfast at the Museum of Sydney. Since we didn't have much chance to eat really good stuff during this trip, so I thought maybe should at least spend some AUD on a good …]]></description>

	<link>http://ping.sg/item/day-4-in-sydney-hunter-valley-</link>
	<dc:creator>chillycraps</dc:creator>
	<description><![CDATA[Another favourite check-out when in Sydney is the nearby Hunter Valley. Australia being an important wine producing country, and Hunter Valley is one of the major wine regions of Australia, naturally you go for a wine tour when in Hunter Valley. If you drive, you theoretically can visit the wineries on your own and have free tasting. Lindemans, Rosemount, Wyndham Estate are …]]></description>

	<dc:creator>chillycraps</dc:creator>
	<description><![CDATA[If you think Sydney is just a city of skyscrapers, then you are missing out the goodies in the wilderness. On day 3 we went to the Blue Mountains, a region some 1 hour's coach journey away. Initially I was considering riding the CityRail to Katoomba and explore Blue Mountains on our own, but that could be a bit tricky if I wanted to check out the nearby Jenolan Caves too. So …]]></description>

	<dc:creator>chillycraps</dc:creator>
	<description><![CDATA[To spend almost 8 hours flying over (and not forgetting the airfare), it does make sense to visit another nearby city. And so I slotted in a day trip to Canberra on the second day, the capital of Australia.  We did it the traditional way, took the CountryLink Xplorer train from Sydney Central to Canberra Kingston which took about 4 hours. Now thinking back, the train journey …]]></description>

	<dc:creator>chillycraps</dc:creator>
	<description><![CDATA[We took an overnight flight to Sydney. So when we reached Kingsford Smith Airport, coupled with the timezone difference, it was just past 7am. Good timing to start the day.  It was a Saturday, so probably the only chance to catch the weekend markets. Our first stop was Sydney Sustainable Markets at Taylor Square. There are a few farmer's markets in Sydney and I was deciding …]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[Hey mate! Yours truly here just visited Sydney over the Christmas period. It was quite an impulsive decision to go, didn't avoid the high season and didn't check the balance in my bank account. It was only a week or two before the trip that the air tickets were bought. Anyway 2011 had been a roller coaster ride for me and I thought why not go for a walk.  I am grateful to all …]]></description>

	<dc:creator>chillycraps</dc:creator>
	<description><![CDATA[As a commuter I always think that SMRT runs buses better than SBS Transit. The reverse is true for trains.  2 train disruptions within a few days. I narrowly escaped the North South Line episode (darn, I have never walked in the tunnel before!) cos I was on the North East Line which is operated by _the_ other transport company. But I was stucked on the earlier Circle Line …]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[According to unconfirmed source, the platform of Bishan MRT Station does not have the markings for people to queue up or to stand behind. But yet commuters were seen queueing up orderly before boarding. I don't believe it.  I was standing behind the red line waiting for the next train. A man came to this screen door and stood on the other side, obviously stepping in front of …]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[Recently there has been this discussion about happiness and the comparison with Bhutan (the country that started Gross National Happiness) in the parliament. Then a Bhutanese wrote in reaction to the example being brought up.  I've never been to Bhutan. I don't know much about that country, so to compare their happiness with ours is like comparing between the Centigrade scale …]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[A Boeing 767 plane from Polish airline LOT landed on its belly on 1 Nov after the landing gears failed to lower.  No one was injured in this belly landing. In fact it looked quite smooth, thanks to the skill of the crew and the close coordination and preparation from the ground, including the foam sprayed on the runway beforehand.  With all the gloomy feelings around, such …]]></description>
