1. One of my most favourite watch is the Tag Heuer: 3000 Professional Series two tone Gold and Silver look watch. 2. This series was sold around twenty years ago. And no more in production. 3. So happened that I was on a Feng Shui audit and saw the couple's parent's each wearing one. 4. All of us loved our (this series) watch. And here goes: a photo of the THREE watches. Mine is the centre one (boy-sized) watch. Note: the Man-sized watch had it's watch face changed that is why the Tag Heuer logo is coloured. Otherwise, the logo on the watch face is suppose to be in distinct all black... Although these watches don't cost that much; but...... (Location/event: …

Case Study: Organisation and Methods (O & M) Actually, the essence of this efficiency can be summed up in justtwo photo slides. See attachment However, their chilli gravy is so so. Good thing is you are allowed to add as much as you want. Always leave a not do complimentary after-taste. Nowadays, I skip this place totally.

No Idling Engine : It is against the law Some still are not aware that this isillegal in Singapore.

Case Study 1: AC vs DC fans? Any advantages of a DC fan? These are some considerations: 1. AC fans have been around ever since electricity has been invented. 2. Generally, some find that DC fans costs more. Thus, in the long term; running costs are cheaper with a DC fan. Thus you do the maths. 3. AC fans can only spin one direction. Thus, the fan blades are optimized to "blow" wind downwards. 3.1. Here, DC fans have a distinct advantage. DC fans can be made to spin clockwise or anti-clockwise. Thus if so, instead of "blowing" wind downwards, it can also be made to "suck" air up to the ceiling. Thus especially if one has a high ceiling; the air can…

Singapore Improvement Trust plans on Tiong Bahru Estate was built along/around Chinese Hokkien cemetery land. Which includes land currently occupied by S.G.H. This estate consists of 504 flats and a market. From the attachment one can see that the flats are conservatively laid out in uniform and orderly fashion. As much as possible, the roads are laid out also in orderly grid. If all the wordings were blank-out; believe me - if I sat that a quick glance: I could have mis-read it (mistaken) as a colonial British naval base. With warships parked along this wharf...

Kim's Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee @ Jalan Eunos Branch Kims first opened a stall in a coffeeshop at Changi Road in the early 1970's. (At 5 1/2 mile Changi Road) Oveall, their hokkien prawn mee is in my opinion, better than many other comparable fried hokkien mee. What is unique about it is that Kim's always wear long sleves and pants with a shiny Rolex watch pluc a distinctive Mercedes belt. He has two large woks. His version like that of the old school style Hokkien mee is the drier version. Another famous stall serving drier hokkien mee is at old airport road. The old airport road stall gives less value as his $5/- is a small packet with sliced chil…

Authentic Soup Prawn Noodle Frequently Long queues.... Locatrion as circled...

85 Redhill at Valley Point Shopping Centre, River Valley Reasonably priced + tasty fish ball / minced meat noodles. Price range from SGP $4/- to $6/-. Although their noodle chilli is not spicy; the food is tasty. And noodles smooth and texture is good. Even takeaways.. the noodles although “expanded” does not stick together. And acceptable taste = not sticky or dry. They also have assorted rice dishes. Much like another brand: Inche Tan cafe. Their Tim sum mostly baos and siew mai are also quite tasty and reasonably priced. Their Big meat Bao is $1.80 each. Nice. Large red chillies are not spicy... looks deceive..

Popular and nice. I feel is better than the Bedok chain of CHWEE Kueh

Shang Kee Hanmade Bao... limited variety A newer stall. If one noticed, the older stalls have dull black chalk-board Type with white wordings signages.

Uniquely Singapore. Now costs $2/- outside Haw Par Villa Consider this a nostalgia... treat...

Please don’t have “dirty thoughts”. This is not about looking at pretty girl’s please. LOL Location: Block 165 Woodlands Street 13

This uncle’s plum Sister had already passed away many years ago. Her stall was then at Tampines Central. Later, when NEX just opened, her daughter (also quite plum) ran a stall at the food-court that is on the upper floors. This elderly uncle indeed ran a stall at Scotts in the 1990's. And has relocated to this food court. Their family stall once upon a time was at Bras Basah Road area. In the past had very Long queues. And has a history that stretched towards 1948!

Oh Dear! Final call! Nowadays, AA Membership is no longer that attractive. As most of the time, even batteries, I had to approach the dealer. For example, after installing a new battery... need to bring it back to eg. Performance Motors to input....

Gado gado not available. No choice ordered nasi Ayam geprek. What enticed me was the scoops of this: Fried smashed chicken = shreds doused with a happy helping of their chilli.. Rice is in a pyramid shape. Ate all the chicken shreds = protein but left out as much carbohydrates = white rice as possible. Chilli? Okay, spicy... but to me... I am used to hot, hot, hot. Thus it is like the top of the iceberg only. LOL P.S. The last time whilst in Jakarta, my client invited me to a restaurant with this chilli as a codiment... I managed to fishing like a full bowl of it! With second helpings. Uniquely Singapore born!
