Was just talking to Ben today and another fellow Singaporean yesterday about the incident of Mas Selemat. Lee Jr. gave his speech about how making heads roll when an incident sprouts would only deter people from taking up the job and doing it well. I beg to differ.If this were the case, why are corporations ...

In the papers today, The Straits Times reported that some retailers in the heartlands are trying to pass the cost of using NETS for payment to customers by charging a transaction fee for their purchases. It also mentioned about retailers who impose a minimum spending before allowing customers to use NETS. What it failed to ...

I just found out something, my ideas don’t come to me unless I am out of my home, so I’ve taken to blogging while on the bus, train, cab, walking on the streets.So why do I say Singaporeans are selfless? In general, Singaporeans always think for others before themselves. Singaporeans may be known for being ...

SQ for Singapore Airlines no longer stands for its service quality in my opinion, it should be called SS instead - sucky service. After my trip to Buffalo last semester, Singapore Airlines is no longer the first choice on my options when I travel. The prices it charges are also ridiculous. The price for a ...

LTA has just announced that new gantries would be set up at Upper Bukit Timah and would start operating from tomorrow onwards. Their reason is that speeds have fallen below the acceptable speeds to 20-30 kmph. This is totally ridiculous. I used to use that road daily to school, and the only times the traffic ...

Recently I picked up the habit of reading more stuff online, things like Autoblog, World Car Fans, and STOMP. I realize that there are quite a lot of idiots on such sites. Especially on STOMP. Just sometime ago, someone I know got into an accident in a Lotus Elise. When it was posted on STOMP, ...

Last week, during an interview with LKY, he told the Straits Times of the brain drain that is happening in our beloved Singapore. Why didn't they realize this earlier? All I could say is, they finally sowed the crop of their bad seeds. This is the result of all the policies that caused Singaporeans to ...

I didn’t mean to target SMRT for this, but it just happens that they are the only transport operator using an abreviation. Why am I calling them a rip off? I have read comments on the papers arguing that taxi operators should lower fares during these times of crisis as we share their burden when ...

WPvideo 1.10How much would you spend to film an advertisement which could have been done using Computer Imagery? Seems like BMW would want none of it. But they would put in 3 of the V8 for this.

Finally, after praising the system for such a long time for its flexibility, I'm gonna talk about a serious flaw in it. Group work. This happens in all systems but especially so as there are quite a number of group projects every semester. In a year it could total over 6 (2 for each semester).So what is it bad about group projects? Some projects takes up lots of time, …

Having spent some time overseas, I realized what it means and takes to be Singaporean. You are not a Singaporean just because you hold a pink I/C, drive a car which costs 3 times the amount others pay, live in a neighborhood where every building is a high rise building. You are a Singaporean when ...

When it comes to collecting money, the LTA could never be better. However, when compensation comes into play, they never fail to push the blame around to keep people confused. Not realizing how hefty it would cost to take the CTE from Ang Mo Kio to town, I followed my GPS and drove through it. ...

This is what government agencies are best at doing. When you file a complaint, they will say, we are looking into the matter. And not matter how many times they look into the matter, they always take a week to give you a negative reply. Sometimes, I wonder whether its just their tactic to show ...

Riding on the very old and worn train along the East-West line, you could see the faces of probably ignorant Singaporeans on what the fierce inflation might mean to them. Yes, they probably felt the pinch of the price hikes, probably had restrained their spending power, but the real impact of the latest inflation is ...

What the fuck is Hyundai doing? Have they been paying peanuts to their designers or what? They have been trying to copy things that they are so not. Firstly they have the Sonata, which looks extremely similar to the previous Honda Accord. Then the Genesis would eventually look like the BMW 5-series. The Santa Fe ...
