Hi guys. I want to bring my family to go take a family portrait. To make the old folks happy... Any recommendations? I checked out broadway... but it seems ridiculously exp. 2.8k for a family portrait Any more value for money alternatives? Or isit market rate?

I find this experience from India both instructive and inspirational. After watching this, I found myself driven to brush my teeth at least 3x per day

I am looking to take over a HDB shop from someone but I am not familiar with the process. Assignment fee - is this declared to HDB in the transfer of tenancy ? The current tenant is asking for 50% of the assignment up front as a deposit - is that reasonable ? What if the transfer fails to go thru ? Any property guru out there to advise ?

Preston with his Ferrari 458. He left the key with valets at RWS while having supper there and returned to find the car missing. -- ST PHOTO: MARK CHEONG In the early hours of last Tuesday, two valets at Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) were entrusted with the key to a Ferrari 458. Instead of safeguarding it, they used it to take the $1 million sports car for a joyride across Sentosa that lasted over an hour. Their alleged misdeed was exposed when the owner, a 61-year-old retiree, checked the footage on his in-car camera. Outraged by the incident, he has since filed a police report and issued a letter of demand to RWS through lawyer Chia Boon Teck.

Traditional British social divisions of upper, middle and working class seem out of date in the 21st Century, no longer reflecting modern occupations or lifestyles. The BBC teamed up with sociologists from leading universities to analyse the modern British class system. They surveyed more than 161,000 people and came up with a new model made up of seven groups.

Is it safe to self-drive to Legoland? Sorry if it seems stupid but many years never self-drive to Malaysia liao. Is there particular models of cars more prone to being stolen??? Me is very old Honda Civic EK3M, or for peace of mind should I just take their tour bus there (which I have to go Golden Mile from Bukit Batok then to 2nd Link). Maybe they have abundance of Civics there and wont bother about mine? Just need some opinion. Hmmm oh yeah, anywhere near there I can get hold of second hand climate control console? Mine is cui liao. Gum siah.

Dear bro and sis, Need your opinion and advice, hope you all can help. Recently I bought a new car and put down my deposit. At the same time, i will trade in my old car to the dealer. I took the full loan so I will get back tsome money from the dealer. I will collect my car soon. i need to hand over the old car to the dealer on the day when i colkect my new car. However I was told by the dealer that I only can get the trade in amount plus the deposit back from dealer after one month only. The dealer will pay me back with cheque, that's need time to process. This is the reason I got from the dealer. Is this the normal practice? Do you guy think this is normal when buy new car and trade in the old car with them? I thought I should collect the trade in amount plus the deposit from dealer after hand over my old car since the owner name of my old car will be transferred to dealer? Hope to hear from you guys soon . Thanks.

many possibilities... - this stomper is not telling the truth - singpost and ezycash leak out the customers' data - a new tactic by ah long looking at the numbers... - $30 deducted for admin - repay $480 in three weeks for a loan of $380 - ah long earns $130 for a loan of $380... that's 34% interest, and about 11% per week

1 in 5 workers in S'pore feign illness to be on MC: survey Posted: 17 December 2012 1334 hrs Click to enlarge Photos 1 of 1 File photo of Singapore workers at Raffles Place. inShare 8 SINGAPORE: Nearly one in five workers in Singapore admit that they have feigned an illness in order to go on medical leave, according to findings from an online survey by JobsCentral. And about half of these respondents revealed they would do so three or more times a year. A total of 3,299 employees and 256 hiring managers took part in the survey conducted from August to October this year. 77.7 per cent of employers said they would perform checks when their staff is absent due to illness. But most of these employers said they would rely on medical certificates to verify sickness claims. Only 12.3 per cent said they would call the employee to check, while 5 per cent would go to the extent of asking a co-worker to check on the employee. As to the reasons why workers faked illnesses, most said they did so because they did not feel like working. Another 30 per cent cited plans outside work. When asked to describe their current job satisfaction, only a marginally larger proportion of workers who took bogus sick leave voiced discontentment with their jobs. JobsCentral said this suggests that employees who feign illness to skip work may not necessarily be unhappy with their jobs. Chief Operating Officer of JobsCentral Group, Michelle Lim said: "The survey results show that there is mutual responsibility and trust between employers and employees. A large majority of employees are honest when it comes to taking sick leave and few employers are so mistrusting of their employees to resort to invasion checks." Ms Lim added: "As for the healthy 20 per cent who used illnesses to dodge work, they risk jeopardising their jobs and careers. On the other hand, an overly suspicious employer or manager that constantly checks on employees is also detrimental to work relationships; few employees would tolerate working for managers that do not trust them." The survey also revealed that senior staff were less likely to take bogus medical leave. Workers with gross salaries of over S$5,000 were least likely to fake an illness to go on medical leave

If DBS is giving 2.18% interest rate for used cars. Any other bank that gives a better rate?

Anyone taken this survey before? They way they phrase it is quite a surprise to me.

Like that also can huh ? Initial letter by a member of the public: Inconsistent parking enforcement From Yolanda Chin Tsu-Li 04:45 AM Oct 31, 2012 I am concerned about the inconsistencies in enforcing traffic laws in Braddell Heights, where a string of restaurants were granted permits a few years ago to operate, along Jalan Riang, despite the absence of public car parks in the neighbourhood. Diners and residents have since been competing for scarce parking, leading to congestions and scuffles. As a result, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) has been regularly monitoring the neighbourhood to enforce traffic rules in the interest of safety. I had brought the worsening traffic and parking situation to the attention of Member of Parliament Seah Kian Peng in the past. He said that it was not within his jurisdiction to solve the problem, as it was legal for the restaurants to operate and for the LTA to enforce traffic rules. I was advised to park at less congested roads and walk, should no parking be available near my home. I agree that it is not within his jurisdiction to instruct LTA officers how to do their job. Then, on Oct 20, the grassroots organisation threw a party, attended by Mr Seah, at the park along Jalan Riang. As usual, many cars were parked illegally, and an LTA officer arrived that afternoon to enforce the law. But he left without booking any drivers. I wish to clarify if the officer knew the implications of his dereliction of duties on public safety, and if so, why he still chose to leave. I reported the incident to the LTA and was assured that I would hear from an officer who would be assigned to investigate. I have yet to hear from the LTA since. Follow-up letter by MP: Give and take, not 'principled' approach From Seah Kian Peng Member of Parliament, Marine Parade GRC 04:45 AM Nov 02, 2012 Parking issues in private estates are common. I have helped mediate these and have conducted various dialogues with my residents in private estates for various streets. They are time consuming and require effort and cooperation by all parties. Ms Yolanda Chin, who lives near the eateries and wrote "Inconsistent parking enforcement" (Oct 31), had approached me previously about noise and traffic issues. I asked the eateries to cooperate and ensure their patrons observe the rules. I also asked for enforcement to be stepped up during busy periods, when there was indiscriminate parking in the area. Residents have told me that things have since improved. The garden party on the day in question, from 4pm to 6pm on a Saturday, was to celebrate the completion of an estate upgrading project in Ms Chin's estate. All its residents were invited. As I was driving there, I saw an enforcement officer about to book some cars; I stopped and told him that many residents would be at the party and, unless their cars were obstructing traffic, to apply a light touch and not issue any summons. This was not the peak period, the cars were parked in an orderly manner and I do not think there were any public safety issues as Ms Chin stated. I am an advocate that everyone, resident or not, should be reasonable and considerate, with a give and take approach. All are neighbours there, and when one starts to adopt an uncompromising or unneighbourly approach, such behaviour normally spreads. It then becomes a lose-lose situation. Most importantly, it destroys the neighbourly spirit in any community. There will always be some residents who insist that there be constant enforcement, regardless of circumstances. I am against such a "principled" approach for such matters. I take heart that in two streets in my estate where such disputes used to occur, things have improved following a series of mediation and consensus building among residents. They have adopted their own ground rules and determination to solve matters internally and to call the enforcement agency only as a last resort. It has worked well, and the neighbourhood is more peaceful and cordial now. Back to the garden party: As it was raining heavily from 5.30pm, most residents and cars had already left by then. I hope this letter puts things in the right perspective.

More Singaporeans are warming up to a legal instrument that allows their next of kin to make key decisions on their behalf should they lose the ability to do so. But not enough young people are doing so. Latest figures show that more than 2,000 people have signed up for the Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA), which was introduced under the Mental Capacity Act in 2010. It was reported in February that 1,400 people had signed up. Source: http://www.straitstimes.com/breaking-news/...eguard-20120909

Help posting for someone... I have successfully collected my new car. Am giving away my 3.5 years (Reg Dec'08) Chery A5 for FREE. I am not taking a single cent from it. Still have 6.5 years to scrap. You just need to settle outstanding bank loan (abt $27k) and pay for LTA transfer related expenses. Mileage about 73,000 km and blue in colour, manual drive and accident free. However you might need some slight touch up and polishing to make it shine again. Market value about $35k. Can take it immediately once legally transferred and bank loan settle. If you are keen, just email me your name and contact. Make sure you are eligible to drive a MANUAL car and google about the information before asking for the free car. Cheers.

dear all, was just thinking: since coe is used to control the car population, why can't it be transferrable, since in effect the number of coe remains the same? that could be useful especially when the low coe bought in 2009 can be transferred to a new car now. that would not lead to a change in car number, since when the coe is transferred to the new car, the old car has to be scrapped. any thoughts?
