Just imagine this. What will be the most probable outcome from these 3 different Scenarios?
1) A Killer Armed with Knife VS Unarmed Officer
2) A Killer Armed with Knife VS Officer holding T-Baton
3) A Killer Armed with Knife VS An Officer Armed with a Revolver
Remember the days you used to say Singapore is not an exciting place to live in? We only have boring news like “Courtesy Week”, “Cleanest Estate Award” and “Racial Harmony Concerts” conducted in local schools.
We don’t have hardcore criminals going around extorting money and killing anyone that disobey them. So we end up watching foreign news channels instead, since its more entertaining. =x Well….It has begun my friends. Singapore is not safe anymore!
Is it possible to double your savings without you doing any work? Cumulative savings. You must have heard this a thousand times if you were ever approached by a financial consultant or an insurance agent before. But how true is it? It is definitely true with the risk factors of course.
In fact some of the investors could help you double your money in just 1 year. High risk, High returns. But then it could be High Losses if you let the wrong person invest your money. You might lose the whole amount invested…
Okok, I know the title is a little corny but hey how coincidental can it be for Mas Selamat to have escaped from the hands of Singapore’s World Class Police Force right after Singapore won the bid for the Youth Olympics game?
He must have been over excited about the event. But probably not because he love sports…well you know…let your imaginations run wild for a while. You’ll probably be able to come out with something with a BLAST! Lol! Okok, really dunno what got into me. Too much of computing stuff I guess.
Okay I know this came a little late..half an hour after Singapore won the bid to host the Youth Olympics, my Dad called me up just to tell me about it! Well, I guess it’s a great opportunity for Singapore to earn from this.
Finally we get to host something thats fun. Well to some people at least. 
By 2010 will the “Integrated Resorts” be opened? Then we can probably rip off the tourists’ cash and earn as much as we can.
Well, I don’t know about you, but I’m just happy that I would get to watch the Olympics live in 2010.
Cheers!

Yay! If you’re above the age of 20 and you are a Singaporean, you’ll be very very happy in 2008. Our dear government has decided to share its profits with the public. As for me I am looking at $600 to be credited in my account this year by 2 installments. First at the end of April and 2nd in October.
How did I get that amount? I will be getting both “GST off Set Package” and “Growth Dividends“. I qualify for the following remunerations:
GST off Set Package: $200/-
Growth Dividends: $400 /- ($300 for living in a 4R + $100 for being a NS-Men)
You know what I am thinking about now? The government is sharing its profits with us now, but what if they made a loss? Will they force us to pay for the losses? Hmmm…I hope they won’t do so. Only share the good stuff I hope. But If I am rich, I don’t mind helping the government of course.
Want to know how much you will receive? All the details are at the following official sites.

Was daydreaming on the bus home a couple of days ago when the bus came to an abrupt stop. The bus came to a halt in front of the Institute of Technical Education (ITE) College West in Clementi. I have no idea why… but as I was staring at the Institute/College, I started pondering on the Ministry of Education’s attempt to re-brand ITE. Now, it comes with a College suffix to it. Amusing. Now think about this ok?
Institute<-> College. The two words used together. Does it make sense to you? Doesn’t it mean that it is a College for the Institute?…
Ladies and Gentlemen, feast yourselves to the largest Ferris Wheel in the world! The Singapore Flyer! Well for a year at least. =x It officially started spinning today but unfortunately you will not be able to sit on it for the next 4 months or so as it is fully booked. You may have a chance to sit on it on Valentines Day though. They may have a few seats left.
I read up on its details and discovered that Singapore spent S$240-Million to develop this long awaited Ferris Wheel! Another discovery I made is that there is a strange liking for the number 28 for this development. Not sure if you realised it but heres how it goes.
FAQ of The Singapore Flyer:
Amazing isn’t it? It is mathematically designed to fit with 28. May be a simple design but I think its cool. :D Too bad the price of the tickets is S$29.50 for adults. Else it would have been another 28!. So lets do the maths. If the Singapore Flyer is fully booked for the whole year, how much would it earn?
Assumption: All riders are adults.
S$29.50 * 28 persons * 28 capsules * 28 shifts * 365 = S$236,368,160
Singapore will earn back her capital within a year. Lets hope that the Singapore Flyer is fully booked for the next 5 years or so. I hope to get some Singapore Tourism Board Shares (If there is any =x) for me to clear some of my student loan when I graduate! Why isn’t education free in Singapore again? Okok that’s another topic.

If you are a Singaporean, you would have probably heard about the ever famous Singapore Zoo icon, Ah Meng. I remember growing up hearing about Ah Meng and had even visited her at the Zoo many times. The ever famous primate that I know of other than Bubbles (The chimp that lived with Michael Jackson for many years.)
Today however, is a sad day for Singapore. Our dear Ah Meng had just passed away. She died at the age of 48 human years. She died out of old age and Singapore’s Zoological Gardens will be holding a memorial service for her this coming Sunday at 11am.
If you feel for her death, you might want to visit the memorial service. Read more about it at ChannelNewsAsia.
Who would have guessed that SMRT’s 188 service would break down when I took the bus back home earlier this evening after school? Well, it happened. Somehow I was kinda excited about it. The last time I was in a service that broke down was like more than 5 years ago. It is such a very rare incident!
Felt vey privilege then. Lol! Well actually, all that I could hear was, “Hen Suay lei!”. Pronounced something like this, “Hn Su-way Lay!”. Simply means “Damn Unlucky ‘man’!”. Well anyway, the Bus Captain compensated all of us with a complimentary ride.
The best part is it lasts till 5th of March 2008. Of course there are some limitations to the ticket. Can only be used on SMRT buses and not Express services. I am just happy I got this little ticket. I am using season pass so it doesn’t really affect me. It’s either I keep the ticket for a rainy day or give it away to someone who needs it more than I do.
Can’t believe that a service breakdown made my day. Lol!
