Just as we had understood: placing tissue paper packets on a table means someone will be occupying the table soon... Look at these photos! This group places umbrellas for the same thing!

This postcard was taken in the 1970's. Therefore, there were few tall buildings. The tall buildings on the right of the photos like People's Park Complex and other buildings were only constructed after the 1970's.. Previously; the building covered by clay (reddish) bricks was the only tallest building around in the 1960's. It is the forerunner of the now Housing Development Board (HDB). And guess what... it is a diving platform for a one-way trip to HELL! In the past;?one could often?see an old lady standing on the road cursing at the building. Why? That was the building where her son tried to be a superman.. but failed miserably.. or rather fatally!

Although the attached layout plans are very common for Singapore government board flats (HDB); When I first received a copy of one of them; at first glance, I thought they were the same! While, they are not exactly the same identical layout plan; as there are slight differences especially the entrance to the kitchen; but, overall, they are very similar in many ways! Can you see the differences? There are some who are concerned with the kitchen entrance visible to the main entrance door of the Bukit Panjang unit. By the way; both blocks/units TOP at thes ame time: one is in Bukit Panjang and the other at Ang Mo Kio.

Power Balance bracelets exposed as a sham Georgina Robinson December 23, 2010 - 12:20PM A bracelet worn by high profile sports stars that claims to improve athletic performance has been exposed as a sham by the consumer watchdog. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has ordered Power Balance Australia to refund all customers who feel they were misled by the supposed benefits of Power Balance bracelets.

Apparently, these two cutie babies (young children) were left by her mother outside a Video Shop. The video shop was showing a Korean film. And I believe the family are Koreans.. Note: The man in the picture does not belong to the family, as he left afterwards. The mum, around 20 minutes later appeared. How's this for unattended "child care" at a shopping centre. This shows how safe, Singapore is! For a mum to leave her childern to shop (perhaps nearb-by). By the way, the girl dropped a plastic bag containing some purchases by her mum. I helped picked it up and returned to the eldest (girl). She is very cute and offered me her drink!

Under Malay culture; because they use their hands both for eating and doing "business"; This is what a typical fully customised "business" centre of the Malays are about... There is always a washing pipe.. close-by. In the "poo-poo" cubicle; there is always a water pipe and a small plastic container to contain water. Can you see the white plastic container beside the "throne seat?" And NO! The washing pipe on the right side of each urinal is not meant to wash a Male person's "JOYSTICK"... It is for him to wash his hands after he had aimed, shot and place his joystick to "safe mode"...

1. In the early 1970's when crude oil is suppose to last at least another 70 years; my teachers advised me to work for companies like: Shell, BP, Esso or Mobil. 2. In the 1980's to 1990's, the best stress free careers are those in Charities in Singapore! Imagine, huge pay and relatively low stress! 3. Today, some say become a Singapore Minister. As Singapore Ministers are paid a huge sum even more than the President of United States. 4. The last career being a Minister is not easy and few can become Singapore Ministers. 5. If I were to turn back the clock? Hmmm... I would like to be the founder and CEO of Singapore's largest charity: The National Kidney Foundation…
