The fares on the North East Line are higher than that of the old red and green lines, supposedly due to the system costing more. The Punggol MRT Station is an art piece that was featured in architecture magazine. Couple with the "Punggol 21+" name, what image is in your mind? You just need a full bladder and a visit to the toilet to spoil it all. Click on the photos below to …

I always feel that a story needs to have a climax for it to be interesting, but the movie Burlesque seems to prove an exception. Ali (Christina Aguilera) is this country side girl from Iowa who one day decided to help herself to the unpaid salary from the restaurant's cash register, and went to Los Angeles to go after her star dream. There she went to Burlesque, and begged …

Google is having their first Global Science Fair. If you are aged 13-18 (damn I'm a decade overdue) and have some great project ideas, form a team of 2 or 3 and enter this global event. Project submission deadline is 4 April 2011. I bet it would be good learning experience and definitely not too early to be included in your resume :) Just look at the prizes, I don't mind …

I can't wait to post up the photos taken with Agfa Vista 100 on my Gakkenflex twin lens reflex camera. The Agfa 100 did not disappoint my expectation. Images are sharp and colours are accurate, although I did push it too much by snapping indoor as well as some multiple-exposure shots. The weird shots are just unusual but can't qualify as "nice", but the normal shots are …

Went to the press screening of the movie Fair Game at the Shaw Preview Theatre. The story is based on Valerie Plame's memoir, Fair Game: My Life as a Spy, My Betrayal by the White House. Ok this sounds interesting. Valerie Plame (Naomi Watts) is a CIA agent whose identity was leaked soon after her husband Joseph Wilson (Sean Penn) openly disclosed in the New York Times the …

This sounds a bit like yes and no, but do you know that you can say sorry without being sorry? Take for example, you did something and the other person isn't happy with it. You apologise to the other person, you say "I'm sorry if you feel offended". The "if" acts like an IF statement in programming, and imposes a condition to your apology. So if the other person feels …

Thanks to Facebook (or, no thanks), you can stay connected with your old classmates, girls whom you had a crush on (and their boyfriend usually appears in the profile picture), or just about anyone out there. The other day I was just looking through the "People you may know" section in Facebook and couldn't help feeling a little disheartened. No, it wasn't about girls, more …

And so, the news says fewer people were caught littering on New Year's Eve. On first glance, that sounds like good news, no? Let's say, last year there were 1000, this year's 999, that's fewer, isn't it? Hold on a minute, we are talking about those being caught, what about those not caught? Now another hypothesis, what if last year there were 5 teams of catcher, this year …

Wow, so it's 2011 already. Time flies so fast that yesteryear felt like yesterday. And yesterday I vomited thrice cos I wasn't feeling well. (nb: no alcohol was involved, just gastric juice) I don't recall vomiting one year ago though. I thought it is a good time to reflect on the previous 1 year, or even the previous 1 decade. Maybe not. :P Last weekend I took the spare …

今日我遇上了我這份工至今最大的考驗. 第二組的工人對某些安排不滿意, 便和我組的工人申訴. 我組的人打抱不平, 對我反映. 本來這是他們組的安排, 他們有自已的上司, 我不該插手, 但我知道他們組的上司是那種能閃則閃的人, 基於好心我就幫他們向上級請示. 我的級別算是管理階層, 下有下屬, 上有上司, 兩頭不討好. 上司一句不批, 我能怎樣? 還好上司沒說我多事. 回 …

Went to watch the preview of The Tourist yesterday at The Cathay. Elise Ward (Angelina Jolie) is the lover of Alexander Pearce, a smart banker who stole money from the gangster and also wanted by the British Government for tax evasion. Thinking that she would lead them to Pearce himself, both the gangsters and the Interpol were after her. Elise received instructions from …

With much reluctance, I spent 10 cents for a trip to the toilet at a shopping mall today. There is a reason why I often patronise a particular fast food chain without eating any fast food. A recent news report revealed that only 30% of the toilets in Singapore meet the 3-star standard, and some people's response to that is to have more paid toilets. C'mon, open your nostrils …

It is the season of giving. I was strolling in the shopping mall when I saw this booth from a certain charity organization. It is a well-known international organization, and the projects shown in their brochure seemed interesting. I was planning to donate to them when something caught my attention. Some of the countries they are helping are nuclear powers of the world, some …

I remember when I was still teaching, I ever shared with my class this article written by John Szymanski for the November 1998 issue of Physics Review. Excerpt: 1) No known species of reindeer can fly. 3) Santa has 31 hours of Christmas to work with, thanks to the different time zones and rotation of the earth, assuming he travels east to west. This works out to 822.6 visits …

EV (Electric Vehicle) is going to be the next big thing for the local energy, transport and infrastructure scene. But many see the battery as the bottle neck for EV. Think of it as the short talk time on your mobile phone and the long charging time. Many ideas have popped up, such as more charging stations on the road, battery-swap, etc... How about contact-less / wireless …

Somehow I visited Universal Studio Singapore for the first time last week. The first thing that struck me (other than that symbolic globe) was the kind of crowd there. It was only 10 something in the morning and all the ticketing booths had their shutters down. In the first place, had they even been rolled up? All the tickets for the day were sold out, so if you are thinking …

The British Harrier jets made their final flypast on 15 December, marking their retirement after 41 years of service to the Royal Air Force and Royal Navy before. Being a military nut, the Harrier is one of my favourites. As a STOVL (short take-off vertical landing) aircraft, the Harrier is far from being the fastest jet but it definitely is unique. Thanks to its Rolls-Royce …
