The authorities recently carried out a fine for punishing those who were eating or drinking on the MRT. It caught a lot of people's attention and many people had mixed opinions on that. Nevertheless, I feel that it is great that the authorities is finally taking action. I have seen so many people eating on the trains in the past and it really makes people around them feel uncomfortable. However, the crackdown may be too harsh. Even eating someting as small as a sweet, one is liable for a fine of $30 if caught. See the newspaper article here . Perhaps, they should just fine people only if they throw the sweet wrappers on the ground.

Yay. Singapore Fool festival starts tomorrow! 17 July. What I am looking forward to is the Peranakan Parade that is happening tomorrow at the clarke Quay. I think that the Perankan culture is a very interesting culture. I wanna see them in real life, with their traditional costume. Another event to look out for during the festival is the Longest Perankan Buffet Line. There, you can try up to 100 peranakan dishes.. which O believe tastes good and I have always wanted to try some of the dishes that were featured in "The Little Nonya" that was screened earlier in the year. It's really interesting. Haha. I am quite excited. Are you? haha. Anyway, the Great Singapore Sale is still on! It lasts till 26th July! Only 10 more days! I better come out a list to see what I still need to buy.. before the Great Singapore sale is over!!

My teacher said during history lesson that Singapore is like a mini preview of Asia. Singapore, besides having 4 main different races (CIMO), has places that showcase different parts of Asia. Chinese - Chinatown Malay - Kampong Glam and Arab Street Indian - Little India Korean - Korea Plaza Thai - Golden Mile Complex In addition to that, there are many restaurants and stalls offering food from Japan, Korea, Thailand, the middle east etc. No wonder why my korean friends didn't feel so homesick after 4 months stay here. She can get so many korean food here.

Education... is what many parents want for their child, especially in Singapore. Stress ah! That is something most children would say. Why Education? Many would say that it helps to break the vicious cycle of poverty. Many would say that knowledge is power that is why we should acquire knowledge and one way to do that is educatng since young. Yea.. we can go on and on and on about it.. Education brings so much benefits.. to the fact that the government makes education compulsory for all Singaporeans, perhaps hoping that Singapore will achieve 100% literacy rate in time to come. What does Education means to you? especially if you are a student? Does it means stirring up your curiosity and the thirst for knowledge or does it mean rote memorising - results matter? Tuition tuition and tuition. Is it really for your kids? Do your kids really need it or do u want it just because other kids has it? Best schools. No doubt, parents want the best for their children. Singapore, I think has a inte...

Somehow and somewhere in our time of life, we would have a need to drink a bottle of plain water and mineral water. If u want a bottle of plain water that is of reasonable price and does not have a funny taste, I would recommend Ice Mountain. I think it does not have a weird taste, neither is it too expensive. So, if you really need a bottle of plain water, try Ice Mountain. =)

Yesterday, I met a vietnamese student who knows how to get from almost any place to almost any place in Singapore without getting lost at all. I was planning a trip out with her yesterday and she told me which buses to take to go to which places and where to alight. Wow. A student like her who has been here barely a year can get to know Singapore's streets so well. Out of curiosity, I asked her what's her secret? She told me it's because she is armed with the Singapore Bus guide and the Singapore Map. Therefore, she knows how to get to places easily without getting lost. Talking about buses, I know many of my friends overseas has this gripe that Singapore buses do not has a voice recording to tell you the name of each bus-stop the bus goes to. As a result, many of them do not know when to alight and often alight at the wrong bus-stop. Perhaps, the remedy to this is to get your own bus guide, like my cute vietnamese friend, and carry it with you so that you know how many mor...

The Esplanade . How do you pronounce it? Some people pronounce it as 'Es-pler-nade' while some pronounce it as 'Es-pler-nard'. Some people think it shapes like a durian, while others think the building looks like the eyes of a mosquito. Whatever the case, it's really a cool building. It is a theatre where you can dine, shop or watch performances. At some certain times, you can even watch performances for free! When you are there, besides taking photos, I recommend you to go to The Library - a really nice place with a large variety of books on performing arts. The rooftop where you can enjoy a nice scenery. Have fun! =)

Recently, I met a girl from Norway. It was her first time in Singapore and one of the questions she asked me was "Why are there so many tall buildings in Singapore?" Haha. Of course there are many tall buildings or skyscrapers in Singapore. Singapore is small and land is limited. We could not expand sideways but the only way to expand is to go higher and higher.. but of course.. going there are limits to how tall a building can be... due to some issues. Haha. But nevertheless, most of us gets to live in high-rise buildings which we do not need to face disgusting creatures like rats.. Most of us live in HDB flats.. as statistics had stated, at least 85% of Singaporeans live in HDB flats. So, if some one asks u why does Singapore has so many high-rise buildings, u have the answer =)
