SE across the causeway. Just for fun.. Saw this from a Msia FB car group. BMW Lexus Honda

Sent my jaguar for first servicing, Told the service consultant it was jerking at low speed. A fellow jaguar owner experienced the same thing but he said his mechanic in England told him it could be rectified with tuning, he owns the same model in England. However the service consultant said Jaguar Singapore has no similar computer software. I suppose he expects us to live with the shortcoming of the car at low speed. I was puzzled: if it is available in UK how could it not be available to Jaguar Singapore!!! I emailed Wearnes to suggest that they bring in the software for the benefit of their customers in Singapore. Guess what, the consultant called to say he would update my car software but he is not sure if it would rectify the issue of jerkiness at low speed. He also explained that the software update has nothing to do with tuning as tuning involves taking apart the car engine and Jaguar Singapore would not do it. I still don't comprehend the service consultant's explanation. But I left it at that as the car is now more pleasant to drive at low speed. There is a further surprise. The consultant charged me for the software update!!! I wrote to Wearnes the next day that I should not be charged for the update, anyway it should be covered under the warranty. The service consultant called to say he had wrongly charged me and would refund me the money. The service consultant nearly drove me nut. It is suppose to be a routine servicing but so much time had been wasted in making clarification. What do you make of such a service consultant?

A Dutch-born Australian IT consultant, a Mr. Filip Lou who was in Singapore for a conference jumped into the Esplanade water on a Sunday night to rescue a Caucasion lady, aparently due to sucide got minor hurt himself in the process. He was sent to SGH for treatment with a tetanus shot and was subsequently charged $90 for it. He may have said that in jest when he spoke to the reporter but in my opinion he was a hero when he rescue the stricken lady-in-the-water but he became a zero when the next day he sent his wife to collect the $90 from SGH. After the ST reported this on Wed, there were a couple of people who went to SGH to pay for Mr. Lou. He reminded me of a Mr. Tan in the aftermath of the Lehman issue. http://www.straitstimes.com/Breaking%2BNew...ory_340341.html You're a hero Donor hands over the money to SGH to say thanks to man who saved drowning woman By Judith Tan Dutch citizen Filip Lai (left) and Singapore Nor Azhar rescued drowning people and received public spiritness awards yesterday from Lieutenant Colonel Yong Meng Wah of the SCDF. -- ST PHOTO: NG SOR LUAN SEVERAL readers of The Straits Times came forward yesterday and offered to pick up the treatment tab for a good Samaritan injured while saving a drowning woman. More than 10 people offered to reimburse Mr Filip Lou's $90 bill after reading in The Straits Times yesterday that the Singapore General Hospital (SGH) would not waive the charges. WHAT ABOUT A MORE SERIOUS INJURY? 'What there should be is a policy looking into treating someone who got hurt trying to save another. Mine was a small injury. What if it had been a broken leg or dislocated joint?' ... more Lou commended WHEN contacted yesterday, SGH stood by its decision. 'We maintain our stand that we will not waive fees for medical services rendered,' a spokesman said. ... more They were beaten to it by an unidentified man, who turned up at the hospital early yesterday morning and handed over cash to cover Mr Lou's bill. Mr Lou, 34, a Dutch IT executive here for a conference, had jumped into the Singapore River on Monday night to rescue a woman who had fallen into the water. While pulling her out, he cut his hands and feet on the sharp stone steps along the water's edge. He was brought to the hospital, along with the woman, by the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF), where his wounds were cleaned and he was given a tetanus shot - and then presented with the bill. Yesterday, Mr Lou received a call from the hospital, asking him to return to collect his money. Initially, he thought SGH had gone back on its earlier insistence that he pay the bill. But when his wife, Ms Theresa Lee, arrived at the hospital to get the cash in the afternoon, she was told what had happened. Contacted yesterday evening, Mr Lou said he was rendered speechless by the generosity of Singaporeans. He said he understood SGH's policy, saying that there was a service performed, after all. But, he added: 'What there should be is a policy looking into treating someone who got hurt trying to save another. 'Mine was a small injury. What if it had been a broken leg or dislocated joint?' he asked.

May 20, 2008 IT consultant gets probation for filming student's upskirt By Elena Chong, Courts Correspondent AN IT consultant was placed on 12 months' probation on Tuesday for using a mobile phone to take an upskirt picture of a 19-year-old polytechnic student two years ago. Ong Boon Leng, 35, who pleaded guilty last month, will have to do 60 hours of community service and continue with his psychiatric and psychological treatment. His wife signed a good behaviour bond for $5,000. The Community Court was told that the victim's 18-year-old friend saw Ong squatting behind the victim and behaving suspiciously at Kinokuniya bookstore at Orchard Road on April 27, 2006. After he had left, the friend informed the victim and both went to look for Ong. When the student asked to see his cellphone, Ong took to his heels but was detained with the help of a security officer. Community Court Judge James Leong told Ong he was very fortunate as the offence was very serious and would have carried a jail term. But in view of his medical condition - Ong has been suffering from social phobia since he was 15 - the judge granted him probation. A second similar charge was taken into consideration. http://www.straitstimes.com/Latest%2BNews/...ory_239238.html KNN lidat also can... anyone know of some unheard fobia tat i can consider in case limpeh kena smthg in future, got guud excuse to chut pattern.
