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 ...

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 ...

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.

Dealing with the MINDEF about my deferment and study plans has already been a headache. I do not understand how the government could be asking private companies to send their workers ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
