More bad press... Really salute these YOG volunteers from the bottom of my heart. Also feel sorry for them as well.... No only did they have to endure all the hardships during the games, they had to also stomach lousy food initially. And after the games, a school trip for some of them to RWS was ruined because of the wrong timing given. Before this thing cooled down, 45,000 certs already given out were found to be printed with wrong signatures & replacements have to be sent out to all over the world to all participants, officials & volunteers. Now a simple gesture to thank them with free F1 tickets also ended up like that.. What were these folks thinking? Still blaming inexperience in handling or another Honest Mistake? *shake head* http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/stomp/sg...pass_after.html YOG volunteers were promised tickets to the F1, but these were only received the day after the Grand Finals on Sunday. Three STOMPers have written in regarding this matter, and it seems the tickets had only been posted out on Friday (Sep 24). On the night of the F1 Grand Finals (Sep 26), STOMPer Serene wrote in to express her unhappiness that her tickets had not yet been received. She was unhappy that she had to watch the race on television when she had been promised tickets by the YOG organisers. STOMPer benson writes in his email (Sep 27): "Another late YOG gift. "During the YOG appreciation function at Universal Studios Singapore, I queued with my peers for the complimentary F1 passes. "We were so happy when we knew that they would post the free passes to our addresses after we registered our interest and verified our mailing addresses. "We waited and waited, no sign of the pass in our mailboxes, so be it, anyway it was free. "To my surprise, I received the F1 pass in my mailbox on 27 Sep... was it SingPost's fault?" STOMPer evelyn also received her tickets a day after the event was over. She says: "SGP F1 2010 ticket WASTED!! "OMG!!! I just received my F1 ticket and it was mailed on Fri 24 sept 2010... "Don't they know that SingPost does not deliver mail on Saturdays since May this year? "Somemore it's a bay grandstand ticket!! One such ticket costs $298!!! "I could have watched the race live... It was all wasted... Too late for apologies... "I mean, no offence, but how the procedure for sending out the tickets went... I appreciate the effort in getting the tickets to us... "More detailed planning should have been done, and this should have been taken into consideration... DISAPPOINTED!!! =("

....too bad the f--ker drives like an a-----e. In side company grounds, a straight line of 20m, lots of people going around still hard to step hard on the accelerator. Faggot.

Or at least, got a solid target date on when that can happen. You see, right now, I'm driving my dad's car. A Camry. He changed car earlier this year, to a smaller, sportier but less practical car. But because his work nature, he still needs a bigger car to ferry people around sometime. Since I was also looking to buy a car (albeit a small, rundown, 2-3 year old 1.5-1.6 liter Jap car), he said to me 'hey, you use this first'. The situation's about to change......maybe mid or end of next year. So I can finally get a proper car that is properly suited for me (small, rundown, 2-3 year old 1.5-1.6 liter Jap car, heh). So, yes, finally, a real ride of my own. But can't really complain about the current situation. After all, paying just the road tax, insurance, petrol and parking for a Camry. But at least, with the small car, my FC, RT and INS really goes down a lot.

http://en.espnf1.com/f1/motorsport/story/27521.html They will revert back to 1.6L Turbo engines producing 650HP and 10K RPM limit. Thats going to be interesting. And KERS is set to return to provide 150HP boost. Ground effect aero will return as well. Looks like F1 is going back to the old days. Hopefully this will make things interesting. Seriously, current F1 is simple too boring to watch with little overtaking. With cars so reliant on aerodynamics, its difficult to follow the car infront w/o losing too much downforce. Hopefully we will see more action in 2013 F1.

Fast to increase slow to reduce... At least they are human enough to lower down the prices. Tue, May 18, 2010 AsiaOne By Tony Ng PUMP prices fell by four cents last night. A litre of 92- and 95-octane petrol now costs $1.777 and $1.837 respectively. A litre of 98-octane petrol goes for $1.920. The price of diesel remains unchanged at $1.333 According to a Straits Times report, Esso made the first move in reducing its prices by four cents a litre. This was followed by Singapore Petroleum Co and Caltex. Shell was the last to adjust prices at 7pm. The reduction in pump prices come after a dip in oil prices that occurred at least a week ago. An AsiaOne reader, sukhoi27, has been monitoring crude oil futures since a week ago. sukhoi27 noted that since crude was down as much as 14.5 per cent within one week, oil companies should be making price adjustments.

Jan 20, 2010 Ex-scholars join Reform By Kor Kian Beng Mr Tony Tan Lay Thiam and his wife, Ms Hazel Poa, both 39, are former government scholarship holders who have become members of the opposition Reform Party. They currently run a chain of tuition centres. -- ST PHOTO: DESMOND WEE A FORMER officer in the Administrative Service, the top echelon of Singapore's Civil Service, has become a member of the opposition Reform Party. She is Ms Hazel Poa, 39, who worked for four years in the service in the 1990s. Her last-held post was that of an assistant director in the Finance Ministry. Possibly the first former Administrative Service officer to have joined the opposition in recent years, Ms Poa became a member of the Reform Party last month, eight months after her husband, Mr Tony Tan Lay Thiam. The couple, both of whom turn 40 this year, were government scholarship holders who went to Cambridge University in England, where they both obtained first-class honours degrees. She studied mathematics on a Public Service Commission scholarship, while he studied engineering on a Singapore Armed Forces Merit scholarship. They now run a chain of 10 tuition centres called SmartLab. Read the full story in Wednesday's edition of The Straits Tim

Probe will be 'thorough' THE police are carrying out "very thorough" investigations into the hit-and-run accident linked to a Romanian diplomat, said Foreign Minister George Yeo on Monday. Speaking to reporters at the Indonesian Embassy after signing the condolence book for former Indonesian President Abdurrahman Wahid, who died last week, Mr Yeo said: "What happened was very bad. A man was killed. People were injured. The police are pursuing the matter very thoroughly but investigations are still ongoing and I shall not be commenting on them." Asked when would the matter be resolved as it has been over two weeks since the accident happened on Dec 15, Mr Yeo said: "The Police are not sitting on their hands." http://news.asiaone.com/News/AsiaOne%2BNew...104-189676.html George Yeo stresses due process in resolving hit

LONDON (Reuters Life!) - A British company developing a non-stick chewing gum that can be easily removed from pavements and shoes has raised 10 million pounds ($20 million) to help bring its product to market. The new financing comes from institutional and private investors, with IP Group -- an early backer -- chipping in an additional 800,000 pounds, the firm said on Wednesday. Revolymer's new Clean Gum is the result of polymer research at the University of Bristol, where the company was created as a research spin-out in 2005. Today's chewing gums are made from synthetic latex, which is resistant to the weather and is strongly adhesive. Clean Gum adds a special polymer to modify its properties, making it far less sticky.

Laid Off in Singapore: Ex-Pats Have to Downsize By Neel Chowdhury On the northern fringe of Singapore, overlooking the slate gray waters of the Johore Strait, the public-housing project where Anthony Fulwood lives is so far from the city's affluent expatriate enclaves that cabdrivers are stunned when he announces his address. " 'For God's sake, why do you live there?' they regularly ask me," says Fulwood. " 'You're white!' " Fulwood isn't the only Western expatriate to take up residence in the cheaper peripheries of this Southeast Asian city. An English teacher and community volunteer whose duties include helping integrate Westerners into the Bukit Panjang neighborhood, the 30-year-old Englishman sees a small but steadily growing number of Americans, Australians and Europeans in the fluorescent-lit coffee shop where locals often gather after work around cold pitchers of beer. These foreigners are economic refugees of a sort. Because of the global recession, expat bankers, traders and corporate managers have lost their high-paying jobs with multinational corporations. But instead of returning to their home countries, they've decided to stay in Asia, even though that means moving into cheaper housing and giving up privileges that once set them apart from ordinary Singaporeans. Just a few years ago, when an economic boom was pulling a flood of Western professionals into Singapore, a Western face in a working-class neighborhood like Bukit Panjang was a rare sight. According to investment bank Credit Suisse, Singapore's population grew 18%, to about 4.8 million, from 2004 to 2008. More than three-quarters of that growth, Credit Suisse estimates, came from newly arrived foreigners taking lucrative positions at expanding private banks, oil-exploration firms and shipping companies. Foreigners filled 61% of the 796,000 jobs created in Singapore during that four-year period. As the expat ranks swelled and foreigners put down roots, the city's tonier districts filled up. Prices for apartments in Western enclaves like Tanglin and Orchard doubled in value from 2004 to 2008 as buyers snapped them up. Waiting lists for coveted spots at international schools like the Singapore American School or United World College of South East Asia were so long that expats were encouraged to register their children at birth in order to gain admission four or five years later. The cost of joining the Singapore Island Country Club and the American Club soared as transferable memberships were bought and sold on the open market like hot stocks. Today, as beleaguered investment banks shutter offices and commodity prices and trade flows plunge, Credit Suisse estimates that hundreds of thousands of expat jobs are disappearing from Singapore. Property prices, particularly of high-end homes, are expected to fall some 50% as the recession gathers force. But in a departure from previous downturns, some expats are electing not to return to banking centers such as New York City and London. This recession is global, and the implosion of the financial-services industry means job prospects back home are even bleaker. American Marc Rudajev, a 37-year-old ex

Today ... the unfortunate thing happened. As I mentioned not too long ago, my car starts to take more crank to start. But intermitten, so I didn't bother with it. Today, I parked for a while and got back to the car ... and the car doesn't start anymore. Luckily, I had my STAR membership and gave them a call. Got my battery changed to 70Amp battery for $60 (non-maintenance free).

I am not sure if it had been brought to your attention. My pardon if someone else has mentioned it. Reading through the Budget 2009 details, I come across this part: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (A5) Transport Rebates and Concessions The Government will grant the following rebates and concessions on transport-related taxes and fees: * A 30% road tax rebate for goods vehicles, buses and taxis for one year. This rebate will take effect on 1 July 2009. * A 20% concession in port dues to be granted to all harbour craft (except pleasure craft for personal use) which will help local companies engaged in commercial activities within Singapore
