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 ...

While I was back at SIM last week to get my certificates which just arrived from Buffalo, I heard stuff about the new generation of students which I can’t help but agree. I experienc …

The X300, due to be released in about 4 weeks time here is the latest generation of the X-series the ultra-thin ThinkPads.Known as the "MacBook Air ...

I hate Apple! And I hate the people who adore them to allow them going around trampling on others without flouting the Anti-Trust laws. How superior are Apple products? Not at all. The reason why I bought my iPod Nano was because I like the color and there isn’t any player around when I bought ...

Last week, after the incidents of the NS Men on duty, I wrote my opinions while they were still fresh in my mind. Somehow, the next morning, my blog was infected with a virus that caused me to restore my page to an earlier backup, losing that post. How coincidental.Nevertheless, I read the papers in ...

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 ...

One thing I can't stand in this society is the act of bullying a helpless person, especially if the person is a senior citizen. I was browsing a blog called "All and Sundry Singapore" when I came across this post. I was totally enraged. How could these people say such stuff? The young lad was ...

You would have thought that in this fine city of Singapore, one would expect a free market to decide what you want. This is absolutely untrue. Take the transport system for example, after you earned your car, you are being forced by the system to ditch it at home for 2 public transport companies which ...

In the spate of recent deaths during National Service (NS), the Ministry of Defense should start reviewing its procedures right from where Pre-Enlistees begin their journey to NS - Central Manpower Base.One of the last places I would want to visit, it is filled with unfriendly and irresponsible staff members. At the moment you enter, ...

I’m getting increasingly fed up by SMS from irritating advertisers. I have no freaking idea where they obtained the numbers from. With SMS getting cheaper - the thousands of free SMS - SMS spamming is getting increasingly out of hand, just like what happened with email. These advertisers are criminals who should be charged for ...

I couldn't believe what I heard when I was told about this. I mean, why isn't there room for negotiation? Believe it or not, at that moment, I felt worse than if I was rejected. This was something I would have never expected, something no one would expect, my mother has always said how alike ...

LKY has revealed in a dialogue that the government would very much like to implement a system of free childcare and paternity leave to boost the declining birth rate. This system would create more harm than good for Singaporeans. First, we have to look at how this system could be supported. By deducting the salary ...

As I was sifting through the stack of papers this morning, the headlines in Home caught my eye, actually it didn't. I just wanted to pick up Home to read it. There were no glaring headlines, you would not have known what happened if you did not read through it. Just after one semester of operation for its soft launch, when its campus was not even ready, UNSW Asia has …

We know how much green house gases the burning of incense paper releases. How much heat is generated. However, we never thought of how we could use these to generate power. During the annual “Qing Ming” and “Hungry Ghosts” Festivals, temples and columbariums burn incense papers in towers that are made to incinerate them.Huge amount ...

One of the few things I like about Buffalo, among the many dislikes I have for America, is the courtesy built into people. What's with the National Courtesy Campaign (now known as the Singapore Kindness Movement) but service people giving that "hey you killed my ******!" look. And how courteous it is for one of ...

Today, I found out for myself what makes a teacher happy, that is seeing a student finding his goal. Even though I am not a full time teacher, and this student has not been close to me, I felt somehow happy, that he found what he wants. Occasionally, I would have students and teachers asking ...

I used to think that money is the most important reason why I live on this Earth. The reason why I continue to study in a school is for the sake of my future. Money is still important to me. However, I have found that money doesn’t lure me away from betraying myself, my integrity ...

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 ...

Not too long ago, I wasn’t really a fan of the American muscle. They were big and bulky, did not really have fuel consumption suitable for practical use. They couldn’t really perform well either. However, one thing that they do have, is character.Just like their European counterparts - the high octane, insane performance, and sexy ...
