Mobile phones

Mobile phones are really popular in Singapore. Many students have them. So adults. In fact, there are even more handphone in Singapore than the number of citizens itself. No wonder there are so many types of handphones in Singapore that cater to tastes of different people. But of course, in Japan, there are many more number of unique phones. Environmentally phones, designer phones etc. Interesting.

Fines on MRT

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.

Food Food and Food

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!!

Singapore = mini preview of Asia

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. School.

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?
