It all started with a couple buying off some cheap stuffs and reselling them on Yahoo (and other auction sites). Pretty simple economics, don’t you think so? Buy lots of goods at a good price and then reselling them at a higher price that people will pay for. Well, this proved to be quite a ...

Many Saturdays ago (actually, just 2), I was invited to a Nuffnang event for "Open Your Heart" - an AIDS awareness for the Youth . The showcase was primarily to bring awareness to the people all around that the AIDS victims do need care and concern just like any other person, sick or otherwise. It ...

In a closed invitation preview, a group of bloggers were given a first-hand view of the HP 2133 Mini Note PC. Weighing no more than 1.3kg, which is probably half the weight of your phone book, and a size smaller than your foolscap pad, this new baby is probably beginning to win hearts over. When ...

Many would have thought that the first hint of good life in National Service (NS) came when the 2.5 years of compulsory service was reduced to 2 years. The truth is, good life started way before that; perhaps in the days that cookhouse food was outsourced to Singapore Food Industry (SFI), who happens to be ...

I guess this is a pretty good warning to speculators in the stock market because anything can really go wrong in the last minute. There was so much hope and all, but at the end of the day, not only did they not get their quick buck, they would have lost quite a fair bit ...

Nowadays, degree holders are a dime a dozen - just throw a stone and it’d hit a degree holder; throw a rock and you probably can kill a dozen. Given the manpower crunch in Singapore, and the good times (that’s going to end soon), there is no doubt that fresh graduates are getting way better ...

Many were surprised at the results of the customer satisfaction index because there was a general feeling that the service standard in Singapore is not up to par. At the same time, many felt that 7 out of a possible 10 marks for Singapore was way to high - in fact, more than 50% surveyed ...

While the Singapore government embraces Electronic Road Pricing (ERP), New York - one of the world’s busiest city decides to trash it. New Yorkers unanimously decided against setting up road pricing schemes in New York because they felt that doing so will be biased against people living out of the city central. In addition, they ...

The Government had announced in January 2008 that platform doors will first be installed at Jurong East, Yishun and Pasir Ris MRT stations next year and on the rest of the stations in 2012. This is due to the increase in the number of jumps since 2004, which saw 16 cases for 2 consecutive years ...

The disruption in train service this morning is confirmed to be due to someone falling onto the tracks at Choa Chu Kang MRT station. No details have been disclosed yet, but the media was once advised (can anyone confirm this?) not to sensationalize such incidents but instead just report the facts. It’s not known if ...

Firstly, I couldn’t talk much, arrived late, and was tucked to one quiet corner. Then again, I has always been under the radar, haven’t I? Anyway, I only joined the dessert portion of the Ping.sg Indian Food gathering today. However, instead of having dessert at Plaza Singapura as planned, it was at Dome at Park ...

I seriously await the day that we have one operator getting the telecast rights for each of the leagues/cups that’s being shown on TV. Imagine. Every home may end up having a server rack in the living room. In fact, if this idea kicks off, there’s even a new market or industry for it! Special ...

Seriously, what’s the chances of it? I remembered at least one case where a man claimed to be pregnant but it turned out to be a hoax. A search on the net reveal another site or an update of the old site. Male Pregnancy used to "monitor" the progress of the pregnancy until it was ...

I didn’t know what start the frenzy, however, checks at major supermarkets have reveal that all their rice are gone!
