Apparently, SMRT claimed that in February, 83 more train trips per week had been added. Now SMRT is introducing even more trips, adding another 700 extra train trips a week! Seriously, as commuters do you feel any difference? Has the waiting time been shortened? Or is the train less packed now? Personally, I did not ...

Seriously, did they really think that they can get away scot-free? The offending post was replicated and pasted all over the place - including Hardwarezone; and if it ever gets that far, it’s just a matter of time before the authorities will be alerted. I did a search based on the offending statement and came ...

I’m not sure if I should spill the beans or should I just let you guys read the letter first. So, the easiest thing is to let you guys read it for yourself and when you are ready to look at all the self-pwning statements, you can continue to click to read more. =)First, the ...

Mrs Lee had been admitted into hospital since last Monday due to a bleeding in her right brain. She has since been transferred to a general ward but is still in serious condition. I guess this is the time to put aside all political agenda and crosses and really wish her a speed recovery. MRS ...

The authors at Simply Jean made a couple of oversights in the blog posts that were being made public over the past 2 weeks. In part 1 of a 2 part series, we will address the first oversight - which was the post on Myanmar’s cyclone situation, where Myanmar’s effort was compared against China’s in ...

Former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad has resigned from the ruling party as a protest to how his hand-picked successor had ran the party thus far. His successor, PM Abdullah Ahmad Badawi took over the helm in 2003 and since then, things had been going on a landslide. In the latest general elections, Umno did ...

How many of you can remember the good old days of guessing the actual location of where the NDP tickets will be given out and queuing up overnight for the tickets with friends - which made a good catch-up session on top of everything else. Well, now that we have gone e-everything, there’s no need ...

This is an usual post because this is more of a notice looking for people. =) I am looking for graduates who have taken SC448 Bioinformatics in their 3rd/4th year and are now looking for some extra income - there’s a job waiting for you. If you managed to complete the SC448 assignment that was ...

A 3 day court hearing will determine how much damage Dr Chee and his sister will have to pay PM Lee and MM Lee for defaming the latter duo. The defamation took place in their party newsletter just before the 6th May polls in 2006 (2 more years to go to next election). The Chees ...

Read this yesterday night and felt so demoralised that I didn’t want to blog about it until today. I mean… is there such a thing as fairness in this world? Especially where money is concerned? It’s quite amazing that despite NUS and NTU having produced so many generations of graduates, they lost out to SMU ...

Just like the prophecies foretold from a magical book of sorts, the signs are showing. First, the feedburner count plunged like the stock market from a high of 120+/130+ to just 71. Then the support group that Simply Jean has been so often immersed in has suddenly… "disbanded". Plaktoz - back to camp. Ridz - ...

I had been thinking about the judicial system in Singapore since I read the article below. In dishing out punishments, how often and how flexible is it in recognizing exceptional cases? Do the judges simply stick by the book regardless and just send the alleged to their gallows and doom just because they have committed ...

Are you working too hard? I was reading the article in straitstimes.com and was silently giggling at Mr Lim Boon Heng’s rhetoric question. Is it necessary to work such long, late hours? If you are in the IT industry, there’s so much work to be done, so many deadlines, and when you can’t solve something, ...

Visitors to produce IC for petrol (and perhaps food and road side stalls in the future?) in Malaysia
Soon, you’d need to present your IC to purchase fuel in Malaysia - that’s only if you are Malaysian and you want to enjoy subsidies. This, in theory, should clamp down on all purchases of petrol by visitors to the country, in particular Singaporeans and Thai; because they are apparently sucking up all the fuel ...

Getting ready for the Scarlet Event was almost like getting ready for the big day… except that it wasn’t my big day. I probably lost count of the number of times that Sabrina told me to "wear nice nice". Fearing that she will never invite me to any other event because my dressing might disgrace ...

Labour Day is a day for many to rest from labour (as opposed to having to labour on Labour Day). However, due to the recent rise in fuel and food prices, people in countries where poverty is still prevalent demonstrated on the streets asking their government to do something about the situation there. In Singapore, ...

After the presentation was over, Arzhou took the lead to walk out of Geek Terminal to head towards The Pump Room. The road was long and treacherous. It was hot, wet (as in sweaty), and paved with restaurants who tried to convince us to give their food a shot. Thank goodness I had the company ...

Shortest entry ever? Anyway, here’s a quick one so that everyone will know. If you are driving through the gantry after Dairy Farm Road on the BKE towards PIE, then you’d have to start digging deeper into your pockets… because you’d have to start paying $0.50 more if you travel through the gantry from 7:30am-8:00am. ...
