http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/sin...1191578/1/.html SINGAPORE: A doctor with Changi General Hospital pleaded guilty on Tuesday to dressing up as a junior college schoolgirl and exposing himself to a university student. Thirty-seven-year-old Ivan Ngeow Ko Yen was first charged in August 2010 with insulting the modesty of the then-19-year-old student. He was loitering at a lift lobby in Clementi while donning a school uniform, comprising a top and a skirt. The girl noticed him at her block's void deck, but ignored him. However, she caught him lifting his skirt in her direction and exposing himself, as the lift doors were closing. A report was made later and Ngeow was arrested the following month. Ngeow, who is out on S$10,000 bail, will be sentenced on 24 April. A pre-sentence report has been ordered to assess his suitability for probation. For the offence, he could be jailed up to one year and fined. - CNA/wk

Fraser Wiki Thinking of bringing kids there. attracted by the cool weather. is it safe to go there? i heard there's only one shared lane going up/coming down the hill. any accommodations to recommend? thanks!

more and more woman claim, said moody for them is a normal, always happen, beyond their control and nothing can be done. but they (woman) claim, it is not normal, happen with purpose , in their control and something can be done for moody from man can give your opinion about this? for me, it is hard to believe. it is all about whether they want or do not want to control the mood.

Previously i had taken a photo of a snake at Zhenghua Park, but somehow i had spotted something that should not appear in the pix which i had circle in white. Anyway i didnt do any editing on the pix n just judge yourself whether is real or not.

Just saw a TP caught a car with kid not on child seat. Sunday morning 830am, when most family bring kids out for breakfast. dun pray pray, think of your child's safety.

CNA reported: Low marks for local pre-schools By Ng Jing Yng, TODAY | Posted: 27 June 2012 0556 hrs SINGAPORE: The Republic has been placed in the bottom half of an international ranking on early childhood education, coming in 29th out of 45 countries. Conducted by the Economist Intelligence Unit and commissioned by the Lien Foundation, the study looks at various aspects of the pre-school environment in each country, such as affordability and quality, to compute an overall Starting Well index. European countries dominated the top 20 spots with Finland and Sweden leading the pack, while India was ranked last. Among the Asian countries, South Korea had the highest ranking at 10th place, followed by Hong Kong at 19th place. Singapore was the highest ranked among the South-east Asian countries. When it comes to the specific indicators, Singapore ranked 30th in the quality of pre-school education due to factors such as a high student-teacher ratio and lower academic requirements for its pre-school teachers. Singapore has a one to 20 teacher-student ratio and its teachers require a minimum of five O-level credits and a diploma in pre-school education. The top ranking country Finland, in comparison, has an average ratio of 11 pupils per teacher and a bachelor's degree is needed to qualify as an early childhood educator. In terms of affordability, which looks at features like government subsidies and the cost of a private pre-school, Singapore ranked 21st. The intention of the study is "not to be fixated with the rankings but to look at the best practices" in early childhood education around the world, said Lien Foundation chief executive Lee Poh Wah. The findings, presented yesterday, come at a time when the Government is implementing changes to the pre-school sector. Ongoing efforts include a review of pre-school curriculum guidelines and raising pre-school educators' qualifications. If what the report stated are true, what our kids learn during 3 years in pre-schooling (nursery & 2 yrs kindergarden).... Our Gov spend so much on education every year and we still ranked at 29th of the 45 countries been studied.... One consolation, ranked highest in South East Asia.

It's the biggest butterfly I ever seen and most beautiful too..

Got this from another website You know you've been in Singapore too long when... You know why this list needs the following disclaimer: "This list is intended only as an amusing, light-hearted, and exaggerated look at life in Singapore and is not meant to be taken seriously. There is no intention on the part of the authors of this list to make any untrue, misleading, or defamatory statements concerning any person in particular, nor to make any statement intended to cause offense. If any such offense has been caused, the author apologizes and retracts the offending statement. In any event, the author's NOT WORTH SUING, so don't trouble yourself." You've lost your sense of irony, humor, sarcasm, and cynicism. You don't know what's lame and what isn't anymore. You get used to being called "Ang Moh", "Geyloh", "Bulek", "Mat Saleh", or "Orang Putih". You think there's nothing wrong with putting chili sauce on everything you eat. You wait for instructions from people in authority before doing anything. Always. You accept the fact that you have to queue to get a ticket for the next queue You join queues without knowing or caring what the queue is for. You know what "queue" means!! You can type an SMS on your phone as quickly as you would if you had a regular keyboard. Your idea of a good night out consists of having dinner at a hawker centre, drinking beer, and then going to another hawker centre and eating again. You've lost your ability to criticize people in higher positions than you, even if they're wrong. You would buy a $20 product you don't need if it's on sale for $10 just to save the money. You forget to say the last consonant in words like "faCT", "aTE", etc. You think it's okay to have only one meaningful choice on a ballot. Every task you take on and every group you form is incomplete without a mission statement and a cheesy slogan. "Crossing the country" means taking the MRT to the end of the line. You don't just know what "kiasu" means, you have become it! You think that corn and beans are dessert foods. You would cross the entire country all day to find the places that make the perfect fried noodles, or roti prata, or ice kacang,or chili crab. And none of these places would be close to each other. You have a high tolerance for nagging. Most or all of these acronyms make sense to you: NUS; NTU; ERP; SDU; PAP; MRT; LKY; GCT; PRC; TIBS; SBS; SMS; JB; JBJ; AMK; AYE; PIE; ECP; CTE; BKE; ISD; ISA; 5 C's; CPF; CHIJMES; SPG; CWO; LTA; URA; MOM; SIR; COE; EP; IRAS; EDB; CBD. You use too many acronyms when you talk, or you create new ones. You think that nothing makes a girl or guy more attractive than to dress exactly like hundreds of thousands of other girls and guys who all dress exactly like girls and guys in malls. You think that $100,000 is a reasonable price for a Toyota Corolla and $1,000,000 is a bloody cheap for a bungalow, but $5 for a plate of fried noodles is a barbarous outrage. You believe that not being able to get decent roti prata outside Singapore is enough to keep the best and the brightest people from leaving. You see nothing wrong with forming committees of select elite people to deliberate and study ways to stimulate creativity and spontaneity. You justify every argument with the phrase "in order for us to be competitive in the 21st century". You think everything should be "topped up". You have a naive belief that the war against ants will somehow be won. You don't think any dish of Western food is complete without baked beans. You see nothing unusual about an organization of trade unions spending more time owning and operating supermarkets, drugstores,amusement parks, nightclubs, and financial services outlets than planning the next strike. You believe that a lack of land is enough justification for the government to do what it wants. You wear winter clothes indoors and summer clothes outdoors. Durian and belachan no longer stink to you. You like to have fun, but not too much fun, since you need to correctly gauge the amount of fun necessary to achieve the optimal result. Any more fun that would bring shame to your family and your country. Seven French fries with lunch are more than enough for you. You forgot what a city organized around a grid looks like. In a country where people use smart cards for public transit, you have no problem with construction workers riding in the open backs of pickup trucks. You think paying $50 for a bottle of booze that costs $15 at home is a bargain. You're not confused by a street naming system that locates streets like Clementi Road, Clementi Street, Clementi Crescent,Clementi Lane, Clementi Drive, Clementi Way, and Clementi Avenues 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 all within Walking distance of each other. You think that skinny girls and guys are the most attractive of all. (How did they get so skinny in the first place?? Do you know how much oil is in nasi lemak, char kuay teow, duck rice, and your average curry.) You get irritated if you don't see a sign telling you how long your wait's going to be for a bus, a train, or the expressway to take you where you want to go. You're certain that Holland Village is for hippie bohemian artist types and not overpaid yuppies. When you cross the border into Malaysia, you automatically and deeply fear for your life and your wallet. Especially your wallet!! You think that no vegetable should ever be eaten raw for any reason. Except for cucumbers. No matter what you're doing at the moment, you'd rather be shopping. No matter how miserable you may be here, you thank God you're not in Indonesia. You're impressed by high-rise apartment buildings with actual lobbies instead of bare exposed pillars on the ground floor. You don't have a problem with four different direct payment systems spread out over seven different cards in your wallet, and none of them will work overseas. You forgot what chewing gum tastes like. You say "hand phone", not "mobile" And you think there's no such thing as a hand phone that's too thin. You're not bothered by the fact that government cares whether you know how to use a toilet or urinal correctly. (People squatting on toilet bowls?) You're sure that the best way to change social behavior is through consistent and comprehensive government-sponsored campaigns that permeate as many aspects of daily life as possible. And when they don't work, you never speak of them again. You think chicken floss, corn, mayonnaise, and tandoori spices are proper pizza toppings. You agree that what the government thinks of your personal habits and lifestyle should determine whether you get a condo and how much you pay for it. You've become a fan of either Arsenal, Man. U., or Liverpool when you barely knew what soccer was before you came to Singapore. And you don't care that none of these teams are Singaporean! You think a bus is incomplete without a TV. You accept that expressways here are cleaner than toilets rather than the other way around. Walking in a straight line to avoid people in the street becomes increasingly difficult, and you don't care if you do walk into them. You develop an uncontrollable desire to stop dead and plan your day at the end of an escalator. You think saving fuel is achieved by getting to 5th gear in the quickest possible time and then tapping you foot on and off the accelerator. Contrary to popular understanding, the lane markings on the road are actually to line the mercedes star up on, not drive between. You drive across the island and spend half an hour idling in a queue just to save 10% on the most expensive fuel because that is all the "discount" petrol stations offer. You watch Tamil soap operas on Central, even though you can't understand a word they're saying, because despite the fact there are 30 channels available to you, there is nothing else worth watching. If the temperature varies by a degree either way you complain that is either too cold to swim or too hot Lah! You add lah to the end of every sentence. You think having a extra ferry terminal for "domestic departures" just for the 3 minute ride from WTC to Sentosa is ok You think by crossing the bridge to Johore Bahru your are traveling overseas and you will get a lot international experience You think " wheel of fortune" and " who wants to be a millionaire" was invented by singapore and no one ever has seen it before You really believe that IKEA is high quality and top design furniture and not some cheap plastic crap You are absolutely sure the only and most important thing to look at when you buy a second hand car is the number plate ... if it is a nice number, the car will be fine. You start to understand why people buy a 250 horsepower , 4 liter, 4 wheel-drive cars with cruise control and traction control on an island with a speed limit of 80 km/h , 100 km of highways and no snow. You think a 163 meters hill actually is a respectable mountain. You take 40 sick days a year and call in sick if you even cough once in the morning. and if you got a cold , you refuse to blow your nose or use a handkerchief ... you just hop on the MRT and suck it up again and again very loudly If you want a taxi, go and stand 20 feet up the road from someone who's been waiting for 10 minutes. Ignore filthy looks from that person. All disputes end win-win Critics mean "too hot today, lah" Walking distance is 10 meters It's perfectly ok to use your hand phone in cinemas You know how much your friends are paying for rent, how much their car costs, what the make of their watch is and how much it cost. When you call a tradesman and he says he'll be there at 2pm on Monday and shows up at 9.45 on Tuesday you are not surprised - or even annoyed! When you are forced to carry your stroller up and down stairs on Orchard Rd as their are no ramps no one other than the odd expat EVER offers to help you - but dozens of people feel free to stop and touch your baby and say 'how cute'. You find yourself calling the elderly cleaners at the condo 'uncle' You go to Burger King on Orchard Rd at lunchtime and there is only 1 person serving and 10 people wiping tables/stacking lids and this is OK. You spend the day shopping and every shop assistant you come across is rude to you - and this does not give you a complex. The girl at the Lancome makeup counter tries to sell you a 'whitening' cleanser and you don't think she's strange - even though you are so pale you can see the veins in your arms. When riding any two-wheeled vehicle, you wear your jacket with the zipper facing backwards. In bars, you consider it perfectly normal to wait 15 minutes for your change after ordering a drink. You spend S$200/night on alcohol alone without batting an eyelash. You consider it perfectly acceptable for people to take mobile phone calls in the middle of meetings, as long as they politely face away from the table while they talk. Orchard Towers holds no mysteries for you anymore. You are well acquainted with the price differences between "short time" and "long time". You know enough Thai and Tagalog to impress. You can spot the girly boys from across the room, and avoid them. You find it acceptable that the only outcome of a two hour meeting is the date of the next meeting. You don't get annoyed when you're not given a napkin with your chili pepper crab or you now carry around little packs of nose tissue when you go out for lunch. You go to the gym and (a) sit on the equipment talking or (b) hang out by the pool. You serve warm water to guests even if their sweating profusely. You've stopped waiting for people to exit an elevator, the train, etc. before pushing your way in. You're convinced all expats are nuts. You think it's normal to get 5 copies of each brochure/folder that is put into your mail box. You're upset when you have to pay a bill and realize that they don't give you a chance for a LUCKY DRAW ! If you think an interest rates below 1% is high. You know exactly where to stand when you wait for the MRT train so that when the train comes, the door will open right in front of you. You start driving in the middle of two lanes You run in front of someone coming out of a train and then stop immediately as the escalator starts. You need a trial period to keep left on the escalators. You didn't know your $200,000 car came with an indicator. You assumed this was an optional extra. You stop turning around in the cinema hall, wondering why on earth no one else is roaring with laughter. You actually start understanding what people on the other end of the line are saying & you stop saying 'excuse me' & prefer 'wha lah ?' Comfort cablink's operator no longer irritates you when she asks 'nid taxi now?' you no longer feel real smart because you know you have to wait for the taxi number when calling a cab. It No longer amazes you when you are asked by a young girl outside the cinema box office to buy her 4 tickets off her for 'Peter Pan' at a dollar less per ticket, because she really needed the tickets only so that she could get the Free Note Book that came with them.(which probably only cost S$1.25) You've started saying "Hello? Hello?" when the person on the other end of the phone pauses for more than 2 seconds. You are no longer irritated when the phone rings and the person on the other end - after a series of hellos - asks "who is this?" and becomes indignant when you ask the same question back. You are no longer amazed that everyone in the office will punctually leave at 12 noon for lunch and under no circumstances will they miss this start time for munching When people keep asking you "have you eaten?" you actualy do not say "yes thanks, had a great salad and a beer" You stop explaining nicely to taxi drivers etc that in your home country people actually work. You just snap their heads off and tell them to get a life! You become numb to the fact that all and sundry believes that all caucasians are actually filthy rich - and don't you ever forget it!! Paying under $2500 a month for a condo the size of a dog house with mouldy walls, close to a hawker stand where spitting is an art form, with a swimming pool just at the right temparature to breed foot and mouth desease means that you have secured a bloody bargain !! Signing a two year lease which includes a diplomatic clause shows your utter brillance at hard-arsed negotiations It takes four hours to make a suite and five days to get it dry cleaned You actually know that big brother (and sister) are monitoring everything you do, and that is quite okay You stop cracking jokes about other cultures etc as you now find them politically insensitive. You actually are concerned that your new job does not have the title of "executive to the executive vice president to the vice president of the president" You start to care what others think about your social life, dress sense, humour, appearance an income!!! You (particularly if you are an Aussie) throw a barbie, and think it is perfectly normal to throw a satay on the hot coals because to buy a decent snag and a piece of steak would require you to mortgage your house. Even snails overtake you when walking The taxi driver asks you for the way, even if you have just arrived at the airport. You honestly believe cars do not come fitted with indicators. You see red traffic lights as an opportunity to pick your nose. You like condos with air wells so you can see and hear what everyone else is doing. You lie and tell taxi drivers you earn $50,000 a month because they ask. You wear sunglasses after dark because everyone else is. You feel out of place because you have 20/20 vision. You make a real mess at McDonalds and don't see why you should clear up. You put your bag on a table before going up to order. You've realised sentences just don't end in lah but whaaat and may. Under one Roof is a really funny TV show!!! If It's going to be delivered at 4, you know you'll still be waiting at 6. When ordering anything saying "give me" helps. When driving on the highway you head straight for the fast lane and stick to it like glue. You realise any open anonymous vote will require your name and IC number to be on the ballot. We in the West have no clue as to what carrot cake is. You should buy the most expensive house you can afford so you cannot afford to furnish it. You should constantly check to see if your car is the oldest in the condo. After arriving into Singapore off a 14 hour flight your first thoughts are of mee rebus and bee hoon. The Australian meat and vegetables here are far better that those found in Australia. You don't trim any hair that grows out of moles now. You think Gurmit Singh is the funniest man on earth. You will not wear anything that does not have a large logo on it. You will make your kids get up at 5 am, go to school all morning, then have extra tuition all afternoon. You will not walk your dog. You will keep it in the apartment/backyard from the moment you bring it home from the pet shop till it dies. You will proudly tell everyone how much it cost. When visiting a foreign country, make sure to pack lots of instant cup noodles in your bag - you can never be sure if you will get decent food to eat. You know Dr. Chee is not working in a hospital. Going to the world's largest BBQ and instead of buying a raw steak to put on the pit you buy Mee Goreng or Nasi Padang. You think Americans are too materialistic compared to Singaporeans. When someone asks you to do something, you answer with "Can, Can" You can actually find your car in the Carpark at Suntec City (You know what a Carpark is!) You take taxis on weekends, even though you have a car, because you now know that you can drive any where you like...you just can't stop. You are beginning to think that you might really be fat. When buying chickens at Cold Storage, the attached head and feet don't bother you anymore. You nap on your desk at lunch. You use an umbrella in the sun. You know what they do with all that whitening cream. When there is a "New Episode" on television, you believe that it really is new. You're starting to think that maybe martial arts movies really aren't so bad after all. When sitting in a movie theater that is virtually empty, you wouldn't dream of moving to a seat away from the crowd of 10 people surrounding you - elbow to elbow. You realise that the "Great Singapore Sale" is really a good excuse to get you to the shops in the hope you will still pay full price for everything. The staff from the mobile sales team on Orchard Road (especially those from Citibank or in front of HMV) recognise you and know you're not a tourist and you've become a potential customer for them ! You give up yelling at the cabby for stepping on and off the accelerator pedal. You forget how to speak "GOOD ENGLISH" You hate shopping, all the shop assistants show you in size is XL when in fact back home you are S or M. You think Hawker Centres that are clean are "PARADISE" You learn how to squat and not WET your SHOES You know all the holes in Bintan and all the whores in Batam. You leave your chinese collegues' wedding dinner immediately after you've finished dessert even though some people still haven't started dessert. You find nothing strange with the Star Channel playing the same commercials 8 million times over and over until you nearly go insane..., and you don't change the channel because there is nothing else on. You find yourself actually THINKING in singlish! Alamak! You start to realise that despite trying a new pub/club/bar every weekend, you're never going to actually find one that's really what you're after. You empty the whole platter of prawns onto your plate at the buffet lunch. you think it's perfectly acceptable to drink beer out of a pint glass. you think it's perfectly acceptable for men to drink alcopops. You dont wear you England shirt to the game because you know that displaying flags other than singapore's in public is illegal. You arrive at work early, and then go for an hour long breakfast. You actually get bored of moaning and pointing out the differences between Singapore and your home country, as you've done it so many times you've lost count.... You think nothing is wrong when the staff at the Cold Storage put each article you bought in a seperate plastic bag. You accept that 1 hour after you've taken up a Starhub mobile phone subscription someone from another company calls you trying to sell you something. You think it's "normal" to need a passport to go to the next city. You think it is perfectly acceptable for kids to run around on a moving MRT & whack an old lady in the face with an umbrella

Yes, I'm hurt but...I can still fight: Ex SMRT CEO Former SMRT CEO Saw Phaik Hwa talks about, among others, quitting to defuse the criticism of her and the night she decided to resign. Tue, Mar 20, 2012 The New Paper SMRT CEO Saw Phaik Hwa is now serving out her resignation notice, moving around with crutches after a major knee surgery. She talks about, among others, quitting to defuse the criticism of her and the night she decided to resign. In the end, she became a magnet for abuse. And only by stepping down could she defuse the situation and allow the organisation to get on with the job. This is how former SMRT CEO Saw Phaik Hwa describes the situation she found herself in early this year, just before she resigned. "The whole organisation was overwhelmed with trying to answer and defend on so many fronts," she says. "I had become a magnet attracting all the criticism. If I divorced myself from the organisation, then at least it could start on a clean path." Speaking in an exclusive interview with The New Paper on Sunday at her home off Lornie Road, the 57-year-old says it was her decision to leave and she was not forced out. There was mounting pressure on her to step down after the two major train service breakdowns on Dec 15 and 17 last year, affecting 221,000 commuters in all. The Criminal Investigation Department, the Land Transport Authority and SMRT are investigating the disruptions and a hearing on the findings, open to the public, will begin on April 16. But why did she decide to hand in her resignation letter on Jan 6, when only weeks earlier she had said she would be "staying put to fix things"? She says: "After trying so hard for 21/2 weeks or so, I felt that things were snowballing and it was very difficult... because every faction was coming at us. April 5 to be her last day "It took me one whole night to think about it." She says she "always believed I will do the best for the organisation that I belong to". So she asked herself what was the best thing she could do. She realised the best thing was to leave because "it would defuse the bubble straightaway". "It's like a bubble, you know. You defuse it, let people get on to do what is right for the organisation," she says. But didn't the company say in December last year, even before the train disruptions, that Ms Saw had expressed the desire to "move on" this year, after having served nine years with the company? SMRT's longest-serving CEO clarifies that the idea of quitting had indeed been brought up then, but she decided to stay on when the company made a bid to operate the new Downtown Line. All that changed, however, after the train service disruptions. What's next for her? Ms Saw reckons she has had a good run with SMRT, but she is not about to call it a day yet. "I'm going to be 58. I don't think I'm about to ride into the sunset." A few offers have come up since she announced her resignation, she reveals, but she has yet to decide. "I always thought people would say: 'Don't touch this person after all that's been said and done'. But my friends say: 'You've moved SMRT to be a very different organisation. "I think I've been proven to be able to manage a business and I think I can continue to do something, probably very different from SMRT," she says. She sees herself being active for another five to 10 years. And if not on the corporate front, then always as a martial arts teacher, having mastered taekwondo and tai chi chuan. Her last day with SMRT will be April 5. With a bit more time on her hands these days, she has finally started to deal with one issue that she has put off for some time - her health. The martial arts training and fighting has taken its toll on her body. She recently had major knee surgery and is moving around with the help of crutches while regaining her strength with physiotherapy. She also has four slipped discs, but adds quickly in case anyone thinks she's an easy target now: "I can still fight."

pappy always like to say no amount of engineering can prevent and anything if anything is gonna be costly. any experts here able to quantity the damage so far, and the cost of building the prevention if it was built already to prevent? damage costs: 1. damaged goods 2. loss of rental income (any goodwill from building management?) 3. insurance payout 4. contractors, etc. for pumping out water 5. renovation 6. scrapped cars 7. new road raising 8. loss of tourist spendings along orchard belt i'm sure there's like hundreds so everyone just contribute to the items or estimated costs. maybe easier if we were to contain it to only the town area.
