<br />
<br />
Here in Singapore, we have a culture of bidding for a housing unit a few years before the dating couple decides to tie the knot. The bidding system is call the "Build to order" scheme, or in short we call it BTO.<br />
<br />
<br />
How does it work?<br />
<br />
Mainly meant for newly weds, this electronic balloting system would require the identification of both applicants in order to be qualified for the scheme. At least 1 of the applicant must be a Singapore citizen. The wedding certificate would need to be produced at the point of possession of house keys.<br />
<br />
Interested applicants may have a joint application with their better half in a balloting system where the system will randomly issue queue numbers to all applicants.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
With the BTO programme in place, many average guys in Singapore would forego the need to arrange for a romantic proposal by asking the girl to apply for a BTO flat with him. (*Witcast strongly encourage our readers to have a romantic proposal instead of asking your better half to apply for a BTO pls.)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mbrjHeL-Qkc/ViOae1RArQI/AAAAAAAABXM/NphkhCJPxSQ/s1600/iStock_000004519316Small.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mbrjHeL-Qkc/ViOae1RArQI/AAAAAAAABXM/NphkhCJPxSQ/s640/iStock_000004519316Small.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Successful applicants with a queue number will be informed by the Housing Development Board (HDB) to select a unit of their choice at HDB main office. Those lucky ones with the lower queue numbers would have a good chance of securing a better unit of their choice. The better units range from nearer to the Mass Rapid Transport (MRT) stations, bus stops or even better view of their surroundings.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-R9Yn1g-mxbo/ViOa-u2CjEI/AAAAAAAABXU/WJfq_B4_bMg/s1600/Booking_Fernvale.LEA.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="402" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-R9Yn1g-mxbo/ViOa-u2CjEI/AAAAAAAABXU/WJfq_B4_bMg/s640/Booking_Fernvale.LEA.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
The waiting time for a series of BTO units to be built ranges from 2-6 years. Home owners would have a rough idea when their unit will be ready as HDB would publish the information on their website prior to the BTO project. For applicants who may not want to wait for the BTO units may choose to apply for a sale of balance flat unit, which will have a shorter waiting time than a BTO unit. Alternatively, they may also apply for a resale flat in the open market.<br />
<br />
Mode of payment can be either through cash, home owner's Central Provident Fund(CPF) or loan from the bank/HDB.<br />
<br />
So, my wife and I applied and secured a unit at the far north-east of the island. With a view overseeing the beautiful Punggol waterway, we expected to have our own home with a 4 years wait.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HI-9KlXS7h8/ViOacij_AKI/AAAAAAAABWw/GXh8AHM1U4U/s1600/Punggol-Waterway-Sunrise-Bridge-by-Susanlimgp-January-4-2014.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HI-9KlXS7h8/ViOacij_AKI/AAAAAAAABWw/GXh8AHM1U4U/s640/Punggol-Waterway-Sunrise-Bridge-by-Susanlimgp-January-4-2014.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Fast forward to July 2015, HDB sent us a letter informing us that the Probable Completion Date(PCD) for our flat had been amended from Q3 2015 to September 2015. That's when we got excited for our own home, all the Interior Designers that we have met over the months, we finally can decide on one and start the renovation when we get our keys in Sep 2015.<br />
<br />
We were wrong. Sep 2015 came and passed. No news from HDB, no update on their website on the PCD. We were disappointed that the public service we trusted in, failed us. So, on the 2nd week of Oct 2015, a standard system generated letter were sent to all affected residents. For ours, the PCD changed from Sep 2015 to End Nov 2015 due to situation changes on the ground. We wanted to write in to HDB but based on our neighbours' efforts in the past, we believe they will reply us with a standard template reply, hence we got no choice but to drop the idea.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-a5w6QTGXQUg/ViOadib7DgI/AAAAAAAABW8/XCx6C-lSoEU/s1600/hdb.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="610" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-a5w6QTGXQUg/ViOadib7DgI/AAAAAAAABW8/XCx6C-lSoEU/s640/hdb.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
An attempt to send a message to the current MP for Pasir Ris - Punggol GRC also landed us nowhere. The message was read but not replied. I think he is too busy with national issues and got no time for the future residents like me. Probably we should have asked him earlier, during the election period he would probably look into the issue more.<br />
<br />
So, when will we finally move in to our "Promised home"? Only God knows.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nAHuqayuJ2Q/ViOaeqCPeII/AAAAAAAABXI/iXdEZ-h9pmU/s1600/waterway-brooks.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="346" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nAHuqayuJ2Q/ViOaeqCPeII/AAAAAAAABXI/iXdEZ-h9pmU/s640/waterway-brooks.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
A simple comparison against some recently completed building such as TreeTrail@Woodlands, their PCD was supposed to be in 2017, but the residents have received news for key collection now. Some contractors are good while some are just nonsense.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SrmlDLrFVr8/ViOachazQxI/AAAAAAAABWo/1fkM73m0_bY/s1600/Thesetofkeys-letterboxmaindoorandmaingate.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SrmlDLrFVr8/ViOachazQxI/AAAAAAAABWo/1fkM73m0_bY/s640/Thesetofkeys-letterboxmaindoorandmaingate.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
So, my concerns here are<br />
<br />
1)Some of us has got wedding plans and if the unit will not be ready by our wedding date, we will continue to stay at our parents house and I don't think that is healthy for a married couple.<br />
<br />
2) Some of us will be giving birth soon and they would be left without a personal roof over their head because of the main contractor, SUNHUAN's mistake.<br />
<br />
3) Understand SUNHUAN will only compensate the residents if the completion date is 1 year after the PCD. But is this fair to the residents? Many of us had bought furniture and some of their value will drop as the technology will enhance further. Worst still, they face a risk of the vendor closing down and their deposit will be lost.<br />
<br />
4) Even when we collect our keys, I am sure there will be defects and HDB will take some time to rectify the issues. Which will add in more waiting time.<br />
<br />
5) After the defects are done, we need to renovate the house and this will again take time. By the time when everything is completed, we might have missed the Chinese New Year celebration where we would like our friends and family to visit us at our new house.<br />
<br />
6) Lastly, do HDB give demerit points to ineffective contractors such as SUNHUAN who made the residents wait ? If all of us know this would happen, we would have went for the BTO which is across the waterway, their BTO project were later than us but all of them is already staying comfortably at the luxury of their new home, rather than us who have to pray and hope we can get our keys faster. SUNHUAN is also the main contractor for waterway banks and i am amazed their building were completed much earlier than ours.<br />
<br />
HDB will continue giving the lowest bidding contractor for future projects and I sincerely wish the residents who got SUNHUAN as their contractor good luck.<br />
<br />

<br />
After spending 8 years working in the CBD , i have grown to love and appreciate the cheap hawker food that accompanied me through many many lunch breaks.<br />
<br />
Since we are moving out, let me share with you 10 food stalls that I will dearly miss, yes I am sure you will miss (if your company is shifting out too).<br />
<br />
<b> 1) Piao Ji Fish Porridge (标记鱼粥) </b>- Amoy food center #02-100/103 <br />
Opening Hrs 1030am-4pm, off on Thursday <br />
<br />
This stall ranks number 1 in my list as they serve the freshest, tastiest fish and prawn around in Singapore. Fish soup we have had a lot, nothing beats this stall. From the fish, the prawn, the soup, the vegetable to the chilli sauce, everything is tip top excellent.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PEKmqE2jx8I/VVRst2L-RyI/AAAAAAAABVA/33y3L7NZbVg/s1600/piao%2Bji.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PEKmqE2jx8I/VVRst2L-RyI/AAAAAAAABVA/33y3L7NZbVg/s640/piao%2Bji.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
1 thing I would not miss is the stall assistant (who sometimes cooks too). There is a saying that goes: "Good food comes with bad service". There was once I overheard a lady asking him if there is any more pomfret available, his reply was epic, "我去滝沟抓给你"(or I will catch it from the drain for you).<br />
<br />
Priced at minimum of $10 for the fish and prawn soup, this might seemed expensive for some, considering it's from a hawker stall. To me, it tastes better than the restaurant, hence it's totally worth it. We understand they are open on Saturday (half day) too, hence will be back for it.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>2) Han Kee fish soup</b> (汉记鱼汤)- Amoy food center #02-129<br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">Opening hrs</span>: Mon – Sat: 10am – 3pm, closed on Sunday<br />
<br />
When you mention fish soup at Amoy, everyone will ask you, Han Kee or Piao Ji? Yes, after introducing Piao Ji, here is Han Kee.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0MYWn_28SyE/VVRsqI5owKI/AAAAAAAABUk/NiFT8XsDyBI/s1600/han%2Bji.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0MYWn_28SyE/VVRsqI5owKI/AAAAAAAABUk/NiFT8XsDyBI/s640/han%2Bji.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
The soup is clear and tasty. The fish is awesomely fresh. No signs of tofu or tomato found, but the cabbage is good enough. Priced at minimum of $5, this is also a must try for everyone. I must say they have the longest queue at Amoy food center but the waiting time is roughly 15-20 minutes only.<br />
<br />
Something I would not miss is the attitude of the assistant too. No doubt she has got a great memory and eye for details, but when she got stressed up, her body language and tone changed. I have seen many customers being scolded by her personally. She dislikes people wasting her time and you jolly well say it once, say it clearly, else you face her wrath.<br />
<br />
They do open on Saturday (half day) too, so when we have the craving, we can always come back.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>3)Kazaan Japanese food</b> - Chinatown Complex Smith Street #02-01<br />
Opening hrs Mon -Fri 1130am-830pm, Sun 1130am-6pm Closed on Saturday<br />
<br />
This humble stall used to operate at the Tanjong Pagar market. After the market went through major upgrading works, the stall owner decided to shift to the hawker center at Chinatown.<br />
<br />
Located opposite Maxwell market, this hawker center is the biggest around the Tanjong Pagar vicinity.<br />
<br />
Every time when i visit this stall, the boss would personally welcome me with a big smile, asking what would i like to have today. I have personally "interviewed" him about how he started his shop and what would be his recommendation for his customers. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xRrF9jk6YNk/VVRtmhpGkfI/AAAAAAAABVM/D4hn0pY724A/s1600/kazaan.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xRrF9jk6YNk/VVRtmhpGkfI/AAAAAAAABVM/D4hn0pY724A/s640/kazaan.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
Food wise, if you have the thought that hawker Japanese food will never win the restaurants, think again after you tried this. Personally i think the teriyaki salmon and teriyaki chicken cutlet are the best of the best. Let's begin with the cutlet; it is crispy on the outside, tender on the inside. Every bite is just heavenly. The salmon of the other hand is fresh and i love the crispy salmon skin. The rice and soup is also of quality which we should try. In fact they are so good that I have blogged about them previously! (See http://witcast.blogspot.sg/2013/08/featured-kazan-japanese-cuisine-hawker.html)<br />
<br />
So in conclusion, they have broken the myth that good food must have bad service. Thumbs up up and up.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>4) Good da<span style="font-family: inherit;">y </span></b><strong style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black;">好日</span> </span></strong>- Amoy food centre #01-25<br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">Opening hrs </span>Mon to Sun: 1030am-7pm<br />
<br />
Back to Amoy level 1, this is the best tze-char stall at Tanjong Pagar. I have a colleague who said this "everything that comes out from this stall is good". Indeed, i love their beef fried rice, their beef hor fun with gravy. For some of us who don't take beef, you can also try their fried rice and fish hor fun, equally nice.<br />
<br />
At just $4.50, the amount of beef is like mountain, never seen so much in a plate before.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<b>5) Ocean Curry fish head</b> - 181 Telok Ayer Street<br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">Opening hrs</span> Mondays to Fridays from 11am to 8pm, Saturdays from 11am to 2pm,<br />
Closed on Sundays<br />
<br />
Just a stone throw away from Amoy food center, this stall who sells curry fish head and mixed rice wins a shot at the top 10. The food choices is a lot, hence they also have the longest queue you can ever find in the Amoy stretch.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-GLc61CaMfY0/VVRsrB-HRGI/AAAAAAAABUs/GuwAnaFDNDc/s1600/ocean.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="462" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-GLc61CaMfY0/VVRsrB-HRGI/AAAAAAAABUs/GuwAnaFDNDc/s640/ocean.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Price wise not so friendly for a mixed rice stall, but the taste is really nice. <br />
<br />
<br />
<div>
6) <b>Banana Leaf Nasi Padang</b> <b>- </b>Amoy Street food centre<span style="font-family: inherit;"> <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">#02-93</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">Opening hrs Mon-Fri </span><span style="line-height: 18px;">10:30 am - 2:30 pm</span></span><br />
<br />
This stall offers the closest variety as the Malay nasi padang.<br />
<br />
Operated by a Chinese couple, they have locked many of our lunch dates with them.<br />
<br />
No one can resist the crispy chicken cutlet that they offer can we? Personally I also like their asam stingray, totally worth it. Besides the main dishes, their omelette is also very under-rated by many.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fPWj8djUSZM/VVRsgfOcW6I/AAAAAAAABTw/vt1lz1JUzOk/s1600/banana%2Bleaf.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fPWj8djUSZM/VVRsgfOcW6I/AAAAAAAABTw/vt1lz1JUzOk/s640/banana%2Bleaf.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Some may argue it is a little too sinful to have it but let's just enjoy!<br />
<br />
<br />
7) <b>Ming Kee Cooked Food (明記什菜飯)</b> - Tanjong Pagar Plaza #02-24<br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">Opening hrs Mon-Fri </span><span style="line-height: 18px;">11am - 7pm, Sat 11am-2pm, Closed on Sunday</span><br />
<br />
Another great mixed rice stall located at Tanjong Pagar Market. Their variety of dishes is more or less the same everyday. The must try dishes are probably - chicken cutlet, omelette, broccoli, Yong tau foo.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oFE5OfeolI4/VVRsrvxlN0I/AAAAAAAABUw/PkeKsUm3j-s/s1600/ming%2Bkee.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oFE5OfeolI4/VVRsrvxlN0I/AAAAAAAABUw/PkeKsUm3j-s/s640/ming%2Bkee.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
Oh did i mention their curry is tasty too? I would always request to have the curry poured unto the rice 1st before i order my dishes.<br />
<br />
Thumbs up!!<br />
<br />
<br />
8)<b> China Street Hainanese Curry Rice</b> - Maxwell food centre<br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">Opening hrs</span> Saturday - Thursday: 11.30am - 7.30pm<br />
<br />
I once saw the owner on tv, it's about his children who is in a overseas university. I guess it's never easy to send your children overseas for their education but i can see his determination to provide as a father.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kjlcbrpDCeo/VVRspNECDDI/AAAAAAAABUY/GheoKGdnUfY/s1600/maxwell%2Bcurry%2Bpeng.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kjlcbrpDCeo/VVRspNECDDI/AAAAAAAABUY/GheoKGdnUfY/s640/maxwell%2Bcurry%2Bpeng.jpg" width="454" /></a></div>
<br />
Food wise, i love the meatball, cabbage, sunny side up with lots of gravy and curry. The meat is tender, the cabbage is soft, the sunny side up just sums up your meal with a smile.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Definitely something i will miss.<br />
<br />
<br />
9) <b>Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken Rice (天天海南鸡饭) </b>- Maxwell Food Center #01-10/11<br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">Opening hrs</span> 10am – 8pm (Closed on Mondays)<br />
<br />
Mind you, they beat Gordon Ramsey in the cook off challenge. Their queue consist of both locals and tourist who yearns for a good meal. Personally i love their drumstick rice with lots of sauce. Tender is an understatement. The rice is so nice that you can eat it on it's own. Personally I think this is the best chicken rice in Singapore.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jN8gDQEREIM/VVRssh5hCwI/AAAAAAAABU4/3kR8lg-8LQw/s1600/tian%2Btian.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jN8gDQEREIM/VVRssh5hCwI/AAAAAAAABU4/3kR8lg-8LQw/s640/tian%2Btian.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
However, when you ask for more sauce, the auntie assistance would say "咸死你"(something like a curse -_-!!)<br />
<br />
10) <b>Hong Kong Soya Sauce Chicken Rice & Noodle</b> - Chinatown Complex Food Centre #02-126<br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">Opening hrs</span> 10.30 am to 7 pm (Closed on Wed)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Ybx_Kn4BiHw/VVRsmnqlgwI/AAAAAAAABUM/4S0weKetV00/s1600/chinatown%2Boily%2Bchicken.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Ybx_Kn4BiHw/VVRsmnqlgwI/AAAAAAAABUM/4S0weKetV00/s640/chinatown%2Boily%2Bchicken.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Last but never the least, the oily chicken of Chinatown. For those of us who never liked oily chicken because it's nothing healthy, you may want to think again.<br />
<br />
At only $2, you can get a plate of chicken rice! Drumstick lovers look here, their drumstick is just out of this world. Taking them with a plate of noodles will just make you drool for more.<br />

He survived the 2nd world war where Singapore fell to the Japanese. Times
were hard during his days. He didn’t give up, he continues to fight for our
cause, and he dedicated his life into politics, winning seats in every election
he had been. When Singapore was down and out, he took up the role of
transforming Singapore from 3rd world to our current 1st world status. <br />

Yes, we do have issues that need to be address in our current state. Bread
and butter issues are always going to be a problem. Yes, there are some
policies not many people would agree and support. However, those were the hard
truth decisions that Mr Lee had to take. <br />

Some said he rules by the iron fist, some may even challenge his authority.
1 thing is for sure, he has got more respect in the world today than many many
many others. There are too many quotes that Mr Lee had said that had impacted
Singapore. Here are a few more significance ones, <br />

Lee's views on religion<br />
<br />
<em>"I am often accused of interfering in the private lives of
citizens. Yes, if I did not, had I not done that, we wouldn't be here today.
And I say without the slightest remorse, that we wouldn't be here, we would not
have made economic progress, if we had not intervened on very personal

Democratic Party all posted messages on their facebook walls, appreciating what
Mr Lee had done for our nation. <br />

Witcast is definitely encouraged by this act, where everyone, regardless of
their political background, set aside their differences, come together to mourn
over our founding father demise.<br />
<br />
Rest in peace, Mr Lee Kuan Yew. Your wish is for Singapore to survive, we
know whoever taking over in future will ensure our survival. Without you, there is no Singapore.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YzhRV5hJvMY/VKoJW94JugI/AAAAAAAABQI/fw4465k4GaM/s1600/banner-home.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YzhRV5hJvMY/VKoJW94JugI/AAAAAAAABQI/fw4465k4GaM/s1600/banner-home.jpg" height="326" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Have you heard before the old Changi Hospital? There was even a movie being made for this place. We were told that their neighbour, old commando barracks were transformed into a hotel.<br />
<br />
Yeah, it was a haunted place in the past. Stepping up, here comes Raintr33 Hotel. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Qh1EE7w2kT4/VKoJVjSyP5I/AAAAAAAABPs/WlFMDtGewcs/s1600/HC-POSTER-1-FINAL-600.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Qh1EE7w2kT4/VKoJVjSyP5I/AAAAAAAABPs/WlFMDtGewcs/s1600/HC-POSTER-1-FINAL-600.jpg" height="320" width="226" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Since many of us would know the history of old Changi hospital, so I won’t
be saying too much to scare you here. The question now is, will anyone stay in
the new hotel? The newspaper article below shows the haunted stories of old commando camp, the article claimed that there is a gateway to hell.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4V1YduJdLJY/VKoJYjuOavI/AAAAAAAABQc/02Bp_bVQUDs/s1600/wanbao-29nov07-OCH.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4V1YduJdLJY/VKoJYjuOavI/AAAAAAAABQc/02Bp_bVQUDs/s1600/wanbao-29nov07-OCH.jpg" height="412" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
There should be a few groups of people who probably will.<br />
<br />
1) Tourist - Enough said, they see the price still ok (Starting from $180),
still quite near to the peaceful changi village, there is even a place to
chill. So why not?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--8TUkPBqtK8/VKoJWseyaMI/AAAAAAAABQY/GCFbuP7jajU/s1600/banner-exp.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--8TUkPBqtK8/VKoJWseyaMI/AAAAAAAABQY/GCFbuP7jajU/s1600/banner-exp.jpg" height="326" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
2) Brave locals - They heard about the history, they want to experience it
themselves, 1st hand. However, they might come in a group, hence i suspect they
won’t see anything.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iFRVR-GgLL0/VKoJVox23FI/AAAAAAAABP4/xGEsyTWUVus/s1600/Old%2BChangi%2BHospital%2B-%2BSH.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iFRVR-GgLL0/VKoJVox23FI/AAAAAAAABP4/xGEsyTWUVus/s1600/Old%2BChangi%2BHospital%2B-%2BSH.jpg" height="388" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
3) Bloggers - Surely they will wanna stay there and blog what they have seen
or heard so they can drive up their viewership.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-e4XjWURgops/VKoJV1ILNgI/AAAAAAAABQE/E4enmAsD8pc/s1600/banner-dining.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-e4XjWURgops/VKoJV1ILNgI/AAAAAAAABQE/E4enmAsD8pc/s1600/banner-dining.jpg" height="326" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
4) Lost souls - We don't literally mean the souls, but human beings who
might be tired from cycling, jogging etc. Maybe not, Taxis can be easily
located right? <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
So 1st hand experience will be better than hearsay, so are you ready for an
adventure?? <br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cW9Cc2QK12o/VCeSrOUCDPI/AAAAAAAABNU/i5W8S1wyZ3o/s1600/EPL%2B2014%2B2015.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cW9Cc2QK12o/VCeSrOUCDPI/AAAAAAAABNU/i5W8S1wyZ3o/s1600/EPL%2B2014%2B2015.jpg" height="358" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
It's been a few games into the season, maybe we can take a look at who are the clubs' key players<br />
<br />
Arsenal<br />
<br />
Most would say it will be Alex Sanchez? Not for me, I think Arsenal is doing well because of Aaron Ramsey instead. He is often the more silent contributor but majority of the crucial goals were scored by this man. I think he is also the man who got the most shot on goal. If he can stay injury free, Arsenal can have some glory in the days ahead.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RSEqbvCg4gI/VCeSrCFgajI/AAAAAAAABNg/zFFnaAwQ7No/s1600/Arsenals-Aaron-Ramsey-008.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RSEqbvCg4gI/VCeSrCFgajI/AAAAAAAABNg/zFFnaAwQ7No/s1600/Arsenals-Aaron-Ramsey-008.jpg" height="384" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Aston Villa<br />
<br />
Not many would doubt us when we mention Gabriel Agbonlahor. With Benteke out injured, this name seemed to be a hot name to call upon. His goal against Liverpool recently ensured the bus parking tactic worked.<br />
<br />
Burnley<br />
<br />
They have scored just once in 5 games. Conceded 4 in the process. Not much to choose from, so Scott Arfield is the man to look out for, he has got quite a number shots on goal but burnley needs to train harder in shooting.<br />
<br />
Chelsea<br />
<br />
There are so much talent in this team that there is not just 1 man we are talking about here. However, this man Diego Costa is the killer. He did what Eto + Torres + Ba combined together last season. The question is, will he continue his good form?<br />

<br />
Crystal Palace<br />
<br />
The great escape from relegation last season was a miracle which also landed Tony Pulis as the manager of the year. However, he had departed before the season kicked off. Shocking. So who is the key player for Palace? Mile Jedinak and Jason Puncheon are my choices. Just look at the way they play and you will agree with me.<br />
<br />
Everton<br />
<br />
Well well well. Is Everton struggling? Alittle. But Mr Kevin Mirallas continue to show everyone why Everton finished above Man Utd last season. If he sits out, you can see Everton missing him like crazy<br />
<br />
Hull City<br />
<br />
It got to be their top scorer Jelavic right Stephen Quinn is worth mentioning too. In my opinion Quinn is the key player instead as Jelavic wont get any goal if not for Quinn.<br />
<br />
Leicester City<br />
<br />
Well, the person who saved them the points against Man Utd, Remember this name, Jose Ulloa. Leicester is proving to be a very strong team to beat.<br />
<br />
Liverpool<br />
<br />
Oh man, they missed Mr Suarez. But they have a trainee by the name of Raheem Sterling. His mazzy dribbling showed the fans he can fill the boots of Suarez? Maybe not yet, but he is surely the player to look out for. Both club and country.<br />
<br />

<br />
Man City<br />
<br />
For a team so strong, it is not possible to name 1 player. But we have seen this man, Sergio Aguero doing it again and again, putting the points into their bag.<br />
<br />
Man Utd<br />
<br />
Interesting to see so many players who don't mind not going to Champions league. For a moment, Man Utd were dead last. However, Mr Rooney and Di Maria are the men to watch. They have the quality to lift their team upwards.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-COC8Ya44dU0/VCeSr_uZJsI/AAAAAAAABNo/_V9j5ZgatP0/s1600/_77581977_rooneydimariaepa.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-COC8Ya44dU0/VCeSr_uZJsI/AAAAAAAABNo/_V9j5ZgatP0/s1600/_77581977_rooneydimariaepa.jpg" height="358" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Newcastle<br />
<br />
Moussa Sissoko is the man. His tough tackling is what keeps the team together. Just a pity the team is struggling at the moment. They can buy back Carroll when he is fit.<br />
<br />
QPR<br />
<br />
I wanted to say none. But there is 1 by the name of Steven Caulker. He is the future of England at one time. If he can pick it up and lead the team, QPR might escape being relegated for the 2nd time in 3 yrs.<br />
<br />
Southampton<br />
<br />
Lallana, Lovren, Shaw all gone. So who? Up step Graziano Pelle. Another one to watch out for. Southampton had brought in some very wonderful signing this season, and not forgetting they had been tight at the back too.<br />
<br />
Stoke City<br />
<br />
Captain Ryan Shawcross is the man for Stoke for awhile now. His tough defending had made stoke a difficult ground to go. He will continue to be the man to watch.<br />
<br />
Sunderland<br />
<br />
For a long time,Sebastian Larsson had been a fringe player. Could this be his season to step it up? Already shown some great efforts and let's see.<br />
<br />
Swansea<br />
<br />
He left when his loan expired. Joined Spurs but the deal never made him a better player, so he returned to Swansea. Yes his name is Gylfi Sigurdsson. We all saw how his passes can tear the defense up. Definitely a key man.<br />
<br />
Spurs<br />
<br />
Adebayor? No. Lamela? Not really. But this defender Eric Dier. He can really put the strikers to shame dont he? If he can emulate Mr Bale, he can really make it big.<br />
<br />
West Brom<br />
<br />
If not Saido Berahino, then who?<br />
<br />
West Ham<br />
<br />
It has to be Steward Downing. He is the reason why the team is moving forward. Get that, haters.<br />
<br />

Today we will be sharing about jobs and careers. In this present age, what we studied in school may not actually means we will be pursuing it in the society.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-arEqx7EHZk4/U_ljpxHUeII/AAAAAAAABL4/rxFA3eKQcVA/s1600/Career-Page.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-arEqx7EHZk4/U_ljpxHUeII/AAAAAAAABL4/rxFA3eKQcVA/s1600/Career-Page.jpg" height="454" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
So assuming you are an 23-year old man fresh from the army, with a Diploma in Nursing. You may/may not be applying for a job in the Healthcare industry. Reason being, you fear the eyes of discrimination against you(being a male), or you simply thinks you can make it big at the finance sector.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xzeeXCsv7I8/U_ljpzAlCFI/AAAAAAAABMA/hvFozdRleL0/s1600/i_nurse_male.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xzeeXCsv7I8/U_ljpzAlCFI/AAAAAAAABMA/hvFozdRleL0/s1600/i_nurse_male.jpg" height="640" width="426" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
So does that mean the Healthcare sector will have 1 less capable worker? I don't think so, as the polytechnics would have catered for a certain percentage of graduates who will choose to move on from what they studied.<br />
<br />
So is there a discrimination in the world today? Certainly. I deemed the cause to be based on perceptions. Take for example, the perception of construction workers would certainly be a male. If you are a female who is very passionate in being a construction worker, you may apply to be one. Just that you might immediately be featured on the news, every talk show and maybe even being mentioned in the National Day Rally. The reason being; no man in this part of the world wants to be a construction worker, let alone women.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GMgLla_pk1o/U_ljp0ErB8I/AAAAAAAABL0/G3YMn8D1Z3E/s1600/female_construction_worker_large.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GMgLla_pk1o/U_ljp0ErB8I/AAAAAAAABL0/G3YMn8D1Z3E/s1600/female_construction_worker_large.jpg" height="424" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
There are some jobs which women are being preferred too, such as manicurist or lingerie sellers. That left the office jobs being a place for both the male and female right? Maybe, office workers such as the Human Resource department are often associated with women being the vast majority. I am not sure if there are any discrimination over here but it seemed that they all seemed to require experience in the HR field prior to the selection. So, assuming you have just completed your degree in HR, applied for a job in HR (which most certainly requires a vast amount of relevant experience), will you ever be recruited?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BIscb7mkx4E/U_ljorRMd2I/AAAAAAAABLk/bSxetW3hiso/s1600/Outcast.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BIscb7mkx4E/U_ljorRMd2I/AAAAAAAABLk/bSxetW3hiso/s1600/Outcast.jpg" height="620" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
To me, if every HR department wants someone with experience, where do the new fresh grads go? In any organisation, you need fresh ideas, you need fresh blood to keep up with the changing society. If all you have are people who knows what to do but no fresh ideas, eventually the whole society will just revolves around the same group of people.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pCyCJ13dlbk/U_ljrb20YKI/AAAAAAAABME/G1-p5KKBQaY/s1600/section_HR.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pCyCJ13dlbk/U_ljrb20YKI/AAAAAAAABME/G1-p5KKBQaY/s1600/section_HR.png" height="248" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Come on HR directors, recruitment directors, please don't be so direct ya? Give the fresh grads a chance! Especially when they had took on HR related courses in their tertiary studies. If no one gives them a chance, they will be going to work in some places where their potential might not be fully optimized.<br />
<br />
So, we heard that there is a over supply of lawyers huh? Ok, lawyers are indeed a very in-demand lot of people in the working society today. Many can work in the banks, public service etc.. But shouldn't a lawyer supposed to be fighting for the lives of the innocent? And in the case of persecutor, they have the right to put criminals into jail. So assuming no lawyer wants to do that, we don't have any other choice.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-u5wIklAaZkk/U_ljtEWHfhI/AAAAAAAABMM/cVAmeOFdPRM/s1600/lawyer-meet.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-u5wIklAaZkk/U_ljtEWHfhI/AAAAAAAABMM/cVAmeOFdPRM/s1600/lawyer-meet.jpg" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
In conclusion, to me, jobs are something for you to get your pay, which you can get paid for the number of work done in exchange. Whereas a career will involve your heart and soul, where you strive to give the best to it. Heard before the career path? Have you heard before the job path? No right? So make your informed choice before you regret. Understand some of us would rather get a job than career too, it's just a matter of our expectations in life too. Whatever decision we made in life, will eventually affect our destiny.<br />

<br />
Being a Singaporean living in the heartlands all my life, there are always some food from the hawker centers that never fails to make me drool.<br />
<br />
One of such delicious food stall is 顺发熟食(Shun Fa Shu Shi).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nMscsc04hpg/U1CkgeoWQZI/AAAAAAAABI4/OF0tEMt1XAU/s1600/IMG_0850.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nMscsc04hpg/U1CkgeoWQZI/AAAAAAAABI4/OF0tEMt1XAU/s1600/IMG_0850.JPG" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Shun Fa Shu Shi serves delicious Singapore styled breakfast, with a wide variety of main and side dishes to choose from. Be it bee hoon with egg, fried noodles with fried fish, or even hokkien-styled noodles with chicken wings, they never fails to attract you over.<br />
<br />
Today, my entry will introduce some of their best sellers.<br />
<br />
Me : Hi uncle, sorry to disturb you. I am representing Witcast and I am a blogger. I really liked the food and would like to feature your stall.<br />
<br />
Uncle: Ok.<br />
<br />
Me: Thanks uncle, 1st of all, would like to ask how long have your stall been around?<br />
<br />
Uncle: Its around more than 10 over years now.<br />
<br />
Me: Wow, nice. So among you dishes, which ones are the best sellers? Like the must try?<br />
<br />
Uncle: It depends on the individual, very hard to give you a good answer. But the best sellers so far should be the hokkien noodles, chicken wings and the fried fish.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EQfe19yTvdM/U1CkiQL-deI/AAAAAAAABJA/cMRnPFoX3vM/s1600/IMG_0851.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EQfe19yTvdM/U1CkiQL-deI/AAAAAAAABJA/cMRnPFoX3vM/s1600/IMG_0851.JPG" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Me: Yeah, i agree those are great. Just to check, if you have any plans on expanding your business?<br />
<br />
Uncle: Ha, no lah(singlish word) How to do it? I don't know.<br />
<br />
Me: Sure sure no problem. Thank you for your time uncle, and you are...?<br />
<br />
Uncle: Thank you too! I am Mr Lee.<br />
<br />
Me: Thank you for your time. Have a great day and may your business prosper.<br />
<br />
So the short interview was quite fruitful. I have to agree with Mr Lee that the Chicken Wings and Fried Fish are great. The wings are crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside. Simply marvelous! The fried fish is crispy and doesn't lose to those from the western stalls. While i liked the hokkien noodles, one to mention is the fried kway tiao too. It's not oily and it's completely worth it. Lastly, the chili is nice, one scoop is not enough!<br />
<br />

Does the doctor at this local government hospital care? We have a case submitted by a reader in regard to his wife's experience with a local hospital.<br />
<br />
Here was how it goes.<br />
<br />
On Tuesday my wife went to Mount * (Witcast didn't want to reveal the name of the hospital at this point) for treatment for her rashes however it didn't get better. Doctor said it might be viral infection. So she went home after they gave her some medication and a jab to reduce the itch.
The next day, her face swelled and more rashes were found on her face and body. Hence, she went back to Mount * for a review. Mount * wanted to ward her but they were short of beds. So they said we can transfer to ***(We have blanked out the name of the hospital) for admission. Mount * doctor then wrote a referral letter to ***'s A&E.<br />
<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
My wife waited for 2hrs, where finally the doctor from ***'s A&E seen her. After seeing her,the doctor said its just a small case, dun need to be warded to the hospital. So she didn't get any treatment and left. And the next day her condition got worst. Face, eye swelling and more rashes developing. So does it mean only when her life is at risk then *** will consider it serious?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MKaWWaHsKlo/U01aIvSfF0I/AAAAAAAABIU/H1C4Il98VrU/s1600/10253320_698225090218882_940660319_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MKaWWaHsKlo/U01aIvSfF0I/AAAAAAAABIU/H1C4Il98VrU/s1600/10253320_698225090218882_940660319_n.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
On Thursday, she could not take it anymore. She call Mount * and the nurse asked her to go back to Mount * as swelling of her face and eye is not a good sign. When she reached Mount *, she was asked to warded. This time, they have enough bed for her. After her admission, immediately she got treated by a skin specialist. The way *** treated her was a disappointment. I also sent in an complaint and am currently waiting for their reply. However, till date there is no reply.<br />
<br />
The doctor at Mount * had diagnosed that she had a serious allergy reaction. Serious allergy can kill if it's not treated properly.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
This was how she look after the rashes and swelling...
She cried under her blanket ever since *** rejected her admission. Thank goodness she is getting better now after admitting to Mount *.<br />
<br />
Witcast also did a simple interview with reader.<br />
<br />
Witcast: Thank God she is better now!<br />
<br />
Reader: Yeah.<br />
<br />
Witcast: Do you intend to sue *** for their negligence to discover your wife's illness?<br />
<br />
Reader: I m waiting first their reply. The auto reply says will reply in 14days. If within 14days, I don't get any reply. I will go report this incident to MOH.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Witcast: What do you think caused them to react this way?
Reader: According to doc in mount *, they said it's because govt hospital don't see such case as serious. And they don't had enough beds.<br />
<br />
Witcast: Lastly, do you think the commitment given can be better, if *** wishes to make amendment to your wife's case, how do you want them to settle it?
<br />
<br />
Reader: Well, look at my wife's face now. If it's disfigured then how are they going to compensate? Muscles on our faces are tender. It can cause disfigure. Face already swollen like this and doctor with just one look without giving her any treatment can say ÿou look fine to me, it's not serious. You don't have to be admitted and we don't have enough beds" If it's not serious then why would Mount * asked my wife to be admitted? *** doctor is ridiculous. And i think they are not experience from the way he attended to my wife. But thank goodness the next day there are available beds at Mount * so that my wife can get admitted to be treated. I think the doctors in government hospital only see life at risk then they call it serious. This is the feedback I had from nurses and patient during my wife's stay.<br />

There is a saying that if you parents kneel in front of you, you will fall and faint immediately (do not ever try this).<br />

<br />
So why do we need to be filial to our parents?<br />
<br />
If you ever read the Holy Bible, it mentioned that thou shall honor your parents that your days may be prolonged in the land which the LORD your God gives you. (Exo 20:12). Please pardon me, i am not going to start preaching in this post.<br />
<br />
Back in the ancient days, it had already been told that we need to appreciate what our parents had given us. We understand traditions may change, times may also change, people will evolve. However, this is something we should never gives up or change.<br />
<br />
There is no parents in this world that wants their children to fall. They always wanted the best for their children, even though sometimes it might mean they get less for themselves.<br />
<br />
Have you ever wondered, if not for your parents, would you be who you are today? I am not 100% sure about you, but for me, i won't.<br /><br />
I wasn't born to a wealthy family to begin with, when i was little, i could remember my dad failing in his business and our family was so poor that my mum would look all over the house just to find that 20 cents coin for our next meal. What can 20 cents buy you? 2 country erasers. But with the little they had, my mum would then take this small amount to the market and get us a piece of fish cake. Both my brother and i would not complain about our meals as we will see our parents taking a small piece of the fish cake and gives the rest of that to us. They would then take some soya sauce and mixed it with the rice and eat it.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9A230wRTVJE/Uz6rAq1LzOI/AAAAAAAABGM/NLcV3iX_qhU/s1600/12c2U5b1X30-5LD.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9A230wRTVJE/Uz6rAq1LzOI/AAAAAAAABGM/NLcV3iX_qhU/s1600/12c2U5b1X30-5LD.jpg" height="480" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
We were POOR. But we were not defeated. I told myself back then, one day when I grow up, i want to earn as much money as i can, so my family can have a better life.<br />
<br />
When I was 4 years old, my mum and I would walk my elder brother to school. That was when I asked her a innocent question.<br />
<br />
Me: Mum, why dont I have to go to school? Is it because you think i am stupid?<br />
<br />
Mum: No my dear, it's because you are still too young to go to school. Once you hit the age, even if i dont want you to study, i cant.<br />
<br />
Me: Ok! It's a deal.<br />
<br />
Mum : =)<br />
<br />

My parents had never given me stress throughout my studies. Except there was once they sent me to this home tuition where the tutor would stress me day in and day out. Eventually being loving parents, they terminated the tuition as they saw i was struggling. After i broke free from it, my grades miraculously improved.<br />
<br />
Fast forward to my secondary 3 studies, I did so badly in my studies that I failed my subjects badly. I had to be channeled to the normal stream. As usual, the school would require the parents to meet up with the teachers. When my teacher met up with my mum, i was depressed. I felt i let her down.<br />
<br />
On our way home, she did not utter anything, just walking with me. When i cant take it further, i broke down in tears. I told her i let her down, i promised her that in the following year, i will be the top student and make her proud of me.<br />
<br />
I did well for my GCE N level and scored 4 Distinctions and 1 Credit. I was also made the top student in my cohort and the Principal praised me for the good results. Deep down inside, i know i did it for my parents. I am sure they are proud of me.<br />
<br />
Fast forward, now that i have graduated from college and stepped into the working world, 1 thing doesnt change.My love for my parents. I may not verbally said it daily to them, but i know i respect them and care for them deeply.<br />
<br />
Now, both my mum and dad are retired/semi-retired and are getting on in age. I would spend time talking to them, have meals with them, or even watch some old movies with them.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uxdAisqqCyo/Uz6rAWrQTDI/AAAAAAAABGI/ppMDfX37nbo/s1600/e16e2a34abbfab619f5fc26682e6962e.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uxdAisqqCyo/Uz6rAWrQTDI/AAAAAAAABGI/ppMDfX37nbo/s1600/e16e2a34abbfab619f5fc26682e6962e.jpg" height="480" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
One day, they will eventually be gone, but before that, I want to make sure they enjoyed the time spent with me and never ever regret giving birth to me. Yes, my life is indeed given by them, so i felt it's natural to love them the way they are.<br />
<br />
They are not perfect people, some people might even not get along well with them, but they are my parents. If i dont love or care for them, no one will.<br />
<br />
I hope our readers can take some time out of your busy schedules and show more concern to your loved ones. We only live once, so make it a meaningful one, not just to ourselves but also people around us. Starting with your parents.<br />

Yes? How about quails?<br />
<br />
Well, I did. Before last Sunday, I had 2 quails, 1 male 1 female. On Sunday Morning, the female one, named Curious left us.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bYqOaNYZGh0/UycmPbR-IqI/AAAAAAAABEQ/6Pf6nwcm0as/s1600/IMG_5527.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bYqOaNYZGh0/UycmPbR-IqI/AAAAAAAABEQ/6Pf6nwcm0as/s1600/IMG_5527.JPG" height="640" width="480" /></a><br />
<br />
Ok, for those of us who had not kept a quail before, a quail is like a bird, similar to a chicken except their eggs are smaller and appeared to be black and white.<br />
<br />
How long can a quail live? According to the breeder, it can live up to 3 years. So what do a quail eat? They feed on food that can be bought in a bird's shop. I normally replenish their food by visiting 1 of the older bird shops at Serangoon North.<br />
<br />
Maybe i just share how do I 1st got in touch with Quail. My wife and I was on vacation leave locally and had decided to explore some places which we have never stepped our feet on. Being animal lovers, both of us went to this rustic place located near Choa Chu Kang, named Farm<span style="text-align: center;">Mart. </span><br />
<br />
While walking through this place, we noticed there were some very nostalgic snacks that can be purchased there. The feel of that place looks like a farm, or rather like a Kampong. (Kampong - A place to describe a malay village)<br />
<br />
There is even a farm within farm mart that makes this place even more special. This farm consist of Goats (yes goats!), rabbits, fishes, terrapins, parrots, birds, guinea pigs and quails. My wife had a good fun time feeding the goats and the rest of the pets.<br />
<br />
When we thought we had finished visiting this place, we saw this stall selling quail meat, quail eggs, crocodile meat and other fresh eggs. So my wife was curious about this shop so we stopped and took a look. We were greeted by Uncle William, the owner of this stall.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3E28AgwgF8U/Uycki6qxqCI/AAAAAAAABDU/vS-2baJk2y8/s1600/IMG_5258.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3E28AgwgF8U/Uycki6qxqCI/AAAAAAAABDU/vS-2baJk2y8/s1600/IMG_5258.JPG" height="640" width="480" /></a><br />
<br />
After chatting with Uncle William, we understood he is in the business of producing quails and he sells them for their eggs and food. Besides that, he brought along 1 basket of quails but had only left with 3. So he asked if we wanted to get them, 3 for $10. We thought about it and got them back. William then taught us some technique of keeping quails. We went on to made our purchase for their pet house and other necessities. We named them Sleepy, Quaiky and the other called Tamagochi.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-S8VHMrVSpps/UyclfUbrrZI/AAAAAAAABDk/FzfS5rfvczU/s1600/IMG_4901.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-S8VHMrVSpps/UyclfUbrrZI/AAAAAAAABDk/FzfS5rfvczU/s1600/IMG_4901.JPG" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
On the way back, sleepy injured herself and passed away not long after. Being new to keeping quails, Quaiky met an accident by the falling water bottle and she too left us. That left us with the last one, Tamagochi, he was very playful, noisy and can't stop making noise but one day when we reached home, we found him weak and frail, we noticed his food was too big piece and he too passed away.<br />
<br />
So being sad about it, we brought back the remaining food when we went for an enrichment course conducted by William. During his sharing, he shared many insights on keeping quails. After the course, we went to share with him on what happened to the quails. William asked if we wanted to give it another try and volunteered to give us another 2 quails.<br />
<br />
After much consideration, we decided to accept his good offer and we took home Active and Curious.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GR2bMGCX_AU/UyckgvNWvoI/AAAAAAAABDA/g-VseDB1j6o/s1600/IMG_5274.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GR2bMGCX_AU/UyckgvNWvoI/AAAAAAAABDA/g-VseDB1j6o/s1600/IMG_5274.JPG" height="640" width="480" /></a><br />
<br />
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ef5fpGvJUC0/UyckjPtz6gI/AAAAAAAABDQ/dpkUmbeNi7Y/s1600/IMG_5273.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ef5fpGvJUC0/UyckjPtz6gI/AAAAAAAABDQ/dpkUmbeNi7Y/s1600/IMG_5273.JPG" height="640" width="480" /></a><br />
In the beginning stage of the quail's life cycle, we do not know the gender of them. Their gender will only be revealed when they hit around 1 month old.<br />
<br />
Active and Curious grew up fast, side by side they went. Once awhile, we will free them up by allowing them to walk around the house. Sometimes they might even fly around the house. Ok, William told us before they don't fly, only jump. So if that's their jumping, they can jump really high.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RXYzF1gzQC8/UyclvQUHqhI/AAAAAAAABFE/FxfF91U1r0Y/s1600/IMG_5275.MOV" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RXYzF1gzQC8/UyclvQUHqhI/AAAAAAAABFE/FxfF91U1r0Y/s1600/IMG_5275.MOV" height="640" width="360" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Here's their Gender, Active is a boy and Curious is a girl. How do we determine? It was shared that the male will crow and chirp while the female will only chirp. The mail quail will have brightly colored feathers. Moreover the female will have a larger body than the male.<br />
<br />
Curious started off with yellow fur and when she grew up, they had became white. It was as though she had transformed from a ugly duckling to a beautiful swan.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kuZkudVJIXk/UycnjtcHc0I/AAAAAAAABEk/sbZoGV6AEbE/s1600/IMG_5539.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kuZkudVJIXk/UycnjtcHc0I/AAAAAAAABEk/sbZoGV6AEbE/s1600/IMG_5539.JPG" height="640" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
So how do curious got her name? Yes, it was because of her curiosity nature in her, constantly looking out for the surroundings and people, that was her instincts.<br />
<br />
She layed her 1st egg when she turned 1 month old plus.(if memory didn't failed me) I was happy for her as that was the 1st to many more that followed.<br />
<br />
Active and Curious stays together like a married couple, have a little chase around their house and active bullying curious. But overall, they get along fine.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-D8usRNjOchA/UycmLhr8u_I/AAAAAAAABEE/_ss8saVdo3o/s1600/IMG_5515.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-D8usRNjOchA/UycmLhr8u_I/AAAAAAAABEE/_ss8saVdo3o/s1600/IMG_5515.JPG" height="640" width="480" /></a><br />
<br />
When they go out for their walk, Active will always look out for Curious's safety. By calling out to her to ensure she is nearby him wherever they go. That is surely something very sweet.<br />
<br />
So what killed Curious? It could be the haze, but poor curious is now gone. I am quite badly affected by it's passing off. But the person who is most affected is none other than Active. He had been calling out for curiously daily. Screaming out for her to go home. Yes, animals have feelings too, it's sad to see him losing his loved on. He will need to learn to live by his own now.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uqmlFsPEqrY/Uycm5Nb65cI/AAAAAAAABEc/B92u_hVUssc/s1600/IMG_5535.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uqmlFsPEqrY/Uycm5Nb65cI/AAAAAAAABEc/B92u_hVUssc/s1600/IMG_5535.JPG" height="640" width="480" /></a><br />
<br />
Curious, if you are reading this article (hopefully in quail heaven where you can finally read), I want to tell you you had brought joy to all of us. You had went to a happier place, please pray for Active as he is losing sleep over your passing over. All of us will miss you. Take care of yourself.<br />
<br />
Until one day, we will eventually meet again. Pray for us, keep a lookout for us. We love you.<br />

Discover SuperPets (Previously known as Pets Dreamz)Where do you normally get your pet food from? From a nearby pet shop? Ok, how about the price? is it cheaper than the rest of the retailers in Singapore? If the answer is no, may i recommend Pets Dreamz.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZCaRFUJxbnM/Ux8SB3sCc4I/AAAAAAAABCA/1gfJvgIgYME/s1600/IMG_0068+%25282%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZCaRFUJxbnM/Ux8SB3sCc4I/AAAAAAAABCA/1gfJvgIgYME/s1600/IMG_0068+%25282%2529.JPG" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
My parents were taking a walk at the heartland Ang Mo Kio estate and they noticed there is a shop down the neighborhood selling pets food and pets accessories.<br />
<br />
So being pet lovers themselves, they decided to take a look at the varieties offered by this shop. When they looked at the price of the items, they were shocked to see that the prices were much cheaper than most retailers out there.<br />
<br />
So, they had a little chat with the business owner. After which, he passed them his business card. Upon reaching home, they told me about this shop down the neighborhood and asked me to take a look myself. Well, since my pet food supply is running low, i have decided to head down to this place with my wife.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8tlv5sl4V3M/Ux8SFQyM6mI/AAAAAAAABCQ/DPNcT4lVeqw/s1600/IMG_0067+%25282%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8tlv5sl4V3M/Ux8SFQyM6mI/AAAAAAAABCQ/DPNcT4lVeqw/s1600/IMG_0067+%25282%2529.JPG" height="640" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
When we arrived at the humble shop, we took our time to look at the shop and doing our price comparison based on our memories. We were pleasantly shocked to find the prices are 20%-40% lower than our usual pet food supplier.<br />
<br />
So being a kiasu Singaporean (*Kiasu - Singlish word for not wanting to miss an opportunity*), we took 2 bags of hay and a couple bottles of vitamin pills for our pets.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-knlShdpXHmA/Ux8SE2WQS0I/AAAAAAAABCM/_l657TcXhEM/s1600/IMG_0069.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-knlShdpXHmA/Ux8SE2WQS0I/AAAAAAAABCM/_l657TcXhEM/s1600/IMG_0069.JPG" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Upon checking out from the shop, the owner introduced himself as Brian. He mentioned to us that his shop is offering much lower price as compared to others as he believe pet lovers should not take keeping pets as a burden.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9nYlmWDoGvo/Ux8SkTTfvcI/AAAAAAAABCY/nabkLyZglbw/s1600/IMG_0070+%25282%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9nYlmWDoGvo/Ux8SkTTfvcI/AAAAAAAABCY/nabkLyZglbw/s1600/IMG_0070+%25282%2529.JPG" height="640" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
The reason why he set up such a wholesale centre for pet food is the rising pet food cost in Singapore. According to Brian, the food goes up once every 6 months. So, we signed up to be a member of the shop.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-w0oY7nKaN2g/Ux8Sng9y0WI/AAAAAAAABCo/TqcQozkEdes/s1600/IMG_0071+%25282%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-w0oY7nKaN2g/Ux8Sng9y0WI/AAAAAAAABCo/TqcQozkEdes/s1600/IMG_0071+%25282%2529.JPG" height="640" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
Membership is free (as long as you spend over $20 in 1 receipt). Delivery is also free if you spent over $80. So, being grateful to Brian, we promised to blogged about Pets Dreamz and hope that his business will prosper.<br />

This humble shop house is located opposite one of Singapore's oldest temple. What attracted me was the long queue. So out of curiosity, I went in to take a look what's so nice about their food.<br />

<br />
In Singapore, there's a saying that long queue = good food. So, I joined in the queue and picked my 6 Yong Tau Fu ingredients. Didn't know what to pick since there are not too many variety to choose from. There was this nice looking cheese sausage at the side with a price tag specially tagged on top of it. It cost $2.10 each or equals to 3 pieces of normal ingredients. So being a fan of cheese sausage, I selected it together with some Kang Kongs, seaweed chicken, some fried Ngoh Hiang and a piece of ku gua (bitter-gourd). The set of 6 items + noodles/rice cost you $5.30.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
You can have them in soup or dry, but i would recommend to have them dry. Between the rice and noodles, i selected Noodles, inclusive of up-sizing it by topping up 50 cents.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The taste wise? Well, let's put it this way, it is not your normal Yong Tau Fu. The owner has an unique way of preparing the food, presenting them like how you would expect to see in a restaurant. The noodles are something like thick bee hoon style. The amazing factor lies with the sauce that goes with it. The highlight of the day is the cheese sausage. Cheese lovers be on alert! You need to try it to believe me of the amazing taste. Besides the dishes i had ordered, there is also this vege named Di Wang Miao that is nice. For those of us who have not tried this, it's time to do so. If you like it, return to this stall and order for more.<br />
<br />

<br />
They have more than just 1 outlet in Singapore, found another 1 at Suntec City's food republic too! But i prefer the one at Amoy Street. Their main outlet is still at East Coast.<br />
<br />

<br />
So, my Yong Tau Fu lovers, if you have yet to try this, what are you waiting for? Definitely 5/5 stars.<br />

The officer say my son is at KKH and he need to be hospitalize as they investigate. But I was being asked to school yesterday to clarify the bruise on his face. Everything was explained to them and they advised me not to cane/ beat my son in future. Ask me to throw away the cane.

I cooled down and didn't</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit; line-height: 17.940000534057617px;"> cane/ beat him. Suddenly today they reported the case to MCYS today making so much trouble for me.

I think they did this today out of purpose as yesterday they asked me to bring my son to the doctor and i didnt bring and they brought the matter up to MCYS.

(Bo chap - can't be bothered)<br />
<br />
The teacher knows my son has such problem of not handing up his school work and had been seeing the school counselor, <br />
<br />
They said they will check his bag as and when there is a need to hand up the home work. End up home work wasn't hand up and the teacher will blame my son and says that he is irresponsible. If wants someone to change their bad habit also need time right?<br />

Witcast : Yes, we agree. It seemed to us that there is some form of bias behavior going on here. Mr xxx, all the best to your appeal.</div>

Witcast would like to clarify that we are not in the position to take sides. The above story were contributed by 1 of our readers. If this indeed happened to our Primary School, MOE might need to do a thorough investigation. </div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 17.940000534057617px;">On 23 January 2014 1210PM, my wife and I visited the Mcdonald's branch at Anson Road.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 17.940000534057617px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 17.940000534057617px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 17.940000534057617px;">The place was fully packed with executives queuing to get their burgers and fries. After queuing for 10 mins, finally it's our turn to get our order. We were greeted by the service staff, Mdm Winnie (based on her nametag). Mdm Winnie did her due diligence by asking us if we wanted to top up a dollar for the twister fries. Being a fan of the fries, we topped up a dollar each for the fries. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 17.940000534057617px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 17.940000534057617px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 17.940000534057617px;">After paying up, we were asked to queue up on the right which we felt it's normal to queue for our food to arrive. That was when we noticed the service manager shouted across to the crews to stop offering twister fries as an option to the customers. Ok, so we thought, looking across the service counter, we saw there were still a few packets of twister fries left. </span></span><br />

She picked up 2 packets of twister fries, burgers, drinks and placed it on the tray intended for the customer behind us. After seeing the food is ready, Winnie signalled to the customer behind us (who was shocked to see her food arrive so quickly) to collect her food. </span></span><br />

Upon hearing this, Winnie signalled to the service manager by the name of Gharnesh (not too sure of the spelling). Winnie explained to Gharnesh that my order was supposed to be the 1st order (before the lady who was queuing behind me and got her food 1st). Gharnesh didn’t bothered to hear her explanation and told my wife and I that since there is no more twister fries, he will refund me the difference and asked me to wait.</span></span><br />

We placed our orders 1st and wasn’t given our rightful share? Gharnesh continued saying they do not have any more twister fries left, hence there is nothing he could do except to refund us the difference. His actions didn't convinced me that he was sincere in wanting to settle this issue. So I asked him, we came 1st, you guys served the customers behind and now I have to bear the consequences for your staff's mistake? Is that the way to just brush us off? I don't think that is very nice of him to do that. After which, he reluctantly apologised for it and proceeded to offer us a refund of the differences since he can't offer an alternative. That was which i asked for his name, which he gladly mentioned to me. </span></span></span></span><br />

So i asked Winnie to explain the rationale behind. When she can’t answer, she asked Gharnesh to help out again. Gharnesh didn't mouth a word, just keyed in something into the cashier and took out $0.75 to me instead. Surprised by his actions, I told him we are not eating now, please refund us back in full instead. Gharnesh obliged and offered the refund in full through Winnie. There was no sense of sincerity in his attitude and we certainly don’t feel the service recovery done by McDonald's.</span></span></span></span><br />

How about service recovery?
Stop giving false hopes to your customers.
My 1st email to McDonald's was on 23rd January 2014. It's close to 1 month and all i ever received was this msg from the Facebook team who tells me the reply is on the way.
Is it so difficult to get you guys to write an email back to me? </span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Have you ever asked yourself how reliable your flora are? What if they screw up your orders on your big day? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Background of case</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Many concerned/thoughtful boyfriends, husbands, guys who wanna woo their dream girl were left helpless when the roses that they had pre-ordered did not arrive at the designated timing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Angry customers demanding their rightful refunds</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Just take a look at the FarEast Flora Facebook page and you would see plenty of unhappy customers posting their unhappiness on the Facebook wall. </span><br />

It is 6.05 pm now and the flowers ordered by my husband on 5 Feb is not here!!!!! Why did you not listen to your customers' feedback. Mr Jeremy Huang told you 3 weeks ago that you screwed up his surprise for his wife's birthday by sending the flowers past 6 pm and you did it again and some more on Valentine's Day. Who is going to wait around for your flowers to arrive? You better have a service recovery program in place. To think we have been your customer for over 20 years!</span></h5>

From all the comments I've read here, I definitely won't be ordering flowers from Far East Flora anymore. I left my office at 615pm today, and the flowers my boyfriend had ordered were still not delivered. It seems like either customers' orders weren't delivered within the slated timing of 9am-6pm or one would receive flowers in a bad condition. The company also lacks the basic courtesy of informing customers that they are unable to deliver the flowers and instead choses to l<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;">et their customers wait endlessly. Phonecalls to your hotline were not answered and ignored- not the smartest move to appease your angry customers. I just hope you can be prompt in following up with the refunds and live up to your reputation as one of the best floral company in Singapore. But one thing for sure, you've lost several customers today because of your company's lack of efficiency and after-sales service.</span></div>

Delivery time 9am-6pm??? It is no where near the time frame. My wife have already left the office. Hotline can't call through also. This will surely be brought up to CASE.<br /><br />If you guys can't handle the mass flower orders then you should have closed the orders earlier or hire more delivery staff. I could have bought the flowers from other florist shop.<br /><br />Thank you for spoiling this special day. You have lost another customer. Please refund me the money and give compensation for this lousy customer service. (Order:W410309)</span></h5>

This is it, the time now, 601pm. No flowers received. Today is Valentine's day, i hope you understand. Fareast flora used to be so efficient that it exceeded my expectations and this is why i had been a loyal fan.<br />
<br />
1) Seen many friends receiving their flowers, ok no issue, the flowers will eventually arrive before 6.<br />
<br />
2) The time was 4pm and the status still shows DO Generated, so decided to call. The 1st call asked me to wait, so i waited, the next moment i know, only good b<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;">ye was said from you guys.<br /><br />3) Tried calling back, no answer, cant even get through.<br /><br />4) 5pm, getting worried, pm this FB page to no avail. So sent an email but in vain.<br /><br />5) Now its past 6. Where are the flowers?<br /><br />If you guys cannot deliver, have the courtesy to call your customers and inform them, so they know whats happening. If you guys cannot take so many orders, then stop at whatever amount you can deliver! Now, the flowers didn't arrive, my wife will not be able to hold a bouquet of flowers when she dine with me.<br /><br />Well done FareastFlora. You jolly well make the full refund to me and everyone else or else we will go to CASE. And we will win. Your reputation will go down the drain and this will be it.</span></div>

<div style="color: #333333;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Verdict</b></span></div>
<div style="color: #333333;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #333333;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">FarEast Flora had indeed disappointed their loyal fans/customers. This is a very serious matter, can you imagine someone's big day might not have a bouqet of flowers? Let's say you are getting married, you ordered a bouquet from them, gave them special instruction to deliver, they never arrived. Would you even trust them?</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="color: #333333;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #333333;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #333333;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Next, their customer service is non-existence. If they do not know what is customer service, i would recommend either they close shop or attend a course. A flora exist for what purpose? Sell flowers. This is the minimum requirement. If your company had a good history of doing that, the public will see that you have a good system running. So they will trust you with their money while they do their own things. All they wanted to see is a smile on their partner's face. The surprise they would get is amazing, not this kind of surprises. Like a friend of mine said, incidence like this only happens on APRIL's FOOL DAY, not Valentine's day.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #333333;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Can they imagine the state that the poor consumer might have suffered? If they wishes to close down their hard work business, let us know. Let the whole world knows, FarEast Flora is no longer doing this as a business. Consumer will gladly choose their rivals over them.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #333333;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, they can't deliver what they promised. No one on this planet want to know is this person's fault that person's fault. You open a business, you jolly well know how to handle your customers if something crops up suddenly. My guess for them not contacting their customers as below: </span></div>
<div style="color: #333333;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #333333;">1)Lack of manpower. They do not have enough phones to call out to their customers for a start, i guess none of the staff wants to use their own phones to call for something not caused by them, unless they get a full sponsor. </span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #333333;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #333333;">2) Lack of communication. They might think they might still be in time for most delivery but they are so wrong. You do not communicate with your supply chain, you lose everything. </span></span></div>
<div>

A word of advice to M1. If you dont have such a big head, dont wear such a big hat. <br />
<br />
Same for your business concept, if you cannot provide a good service to your customers, stop telling people you are sorry or you are the most Vibrant and dynamic communications company, providing mobile and fixed services to over 2 million customers.<br />
<br />
You know what? You guys should just close down. The main purpose of your existance is to provide at least the basic calling and messaging services. And you guys can't do it? <br />
<br />
If this is the 1st time, ok we take it with a benefit of doubt. But this is a repeated mistake. The last thing we want to see is M1 becoming like SMRT. Down-time becoming a norm. <br />
<br />
When Singtel's MioTv experienced down-time, everyone of their customers received 1 month of waiver for their subscription. This is call Service recovery. The last time M1 was down, the so called service recovery is free talk time for a few hours. What a whole load of nonsense is that. <br />
<br />
Some of us rely on our hp for business. People who wants our business call us, if they cant get through, they go to our rivals. <br />
<br />
Worst still, if you are trapped in a lift, you thought you have a lifeline, your mobile phone and it's not working, well done. If you see a crime and you want to call 999 or a fire you want to call 995, you cant. What would happened?? <br />

Whether we are happy or not, there will be a tough fight at the top this season. As many as 8 teams can be in for the title chase this season. Today, i will be sharing my views on the bottom 10 of the EPL, in an continuation from the previous post.<br />
<br />
<b>Hull City </b><br />
<br />
Hull had done pretty well after 20 games, being a stronghold at home, their away form is letting them down. If they can pick up a couple more wins, they can surely be 1 of the top 10 teams. Coached by former Manchester United legend, Steve Bruce, This Hull City had been transformed from a relegation battle team to a mid-table team. 1 player stood out for them, Tom Huddlestone. The former Spurs midfielder had done pretty well for them. He reminded us of Scott Parker when he is of course now playing for Fulham.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-czsgrCQoB8o/UsjbxIrCM-I/AAAAAAAAA8E/YEaSkKBEFi8/s1600/54172.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-czsgrCQoB8o/UsjbxIrCM-I/AAAAAAAAA8E/YEaSkKBEFi8/s1600/54172.jpg" height="425" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
They had recorded a big win against Fulham last week at home, something even the most faithful Tigerine fan would never dream of happening in the EPL. But that's a good win for them, however they fell away from home once again, losing to a injury-hit Liverpool. Consistently seemed to be lacking in Bruce's team, if they wants to break into the top half, they got to play as if every game is their relegation battle.<br />
<br />
<b>Stoke City </b><br />
<br />
No Tony Pullis, no problem. Mark Hughes ensures Stoke is not struggling in the bottom 3 by New Year's day. The stand-out players are Charlie Adam, Crouch and Assaidi. They certainly look familiar to the Liverpool fans once again. Assaidi, on loan from the Reds, is scoring important goals for Stoke and ensuring they maintain their mid-table form. Former players Adam and Crouch are showing they still got the finishing. Oh wait, don't forget the solid defense of Huth and Shawcross, together with their Amazing goal-scoring keeper Begovic.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-su3zvwqN69c/UsjbzktX1DI/AAAAAAAAA84/6ZIyTHG3DwY/s1600/Oussama%252BAssaidi%252BStoke%252BCity%252Bv%252BAston%252BVilla%252BPremier%252By3ila8rH8k6l.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-su3zvwqN69c/UsjbzktX1DI/AAAAAAAAA84/6ZIyTHG3DwY/s1600/Oussama%252BAssaidi%252BStoke%252BCity%252Bv%252BAston%252BVilla%252BPremier%252By3ila8rH8k6l.jpg" height="426" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
Rough tackling are often known for this Stoke side,direct long balls up front are also part of their routine. However, it seems that the goals didn't came from long ball but from a winger who dribbled and got his chance. We all known what happened to QPR when Hughes were in-charged, however during the 1st season Hughes will normally do enough to save his job. It's always in the 2nd or 3rd season where Hughes will lose it. So how long can he withstand this time round?<br />
<br />
<b>Swansea </b><br />
<br />
With Michu out, Swansea had found it hard to break down their opponent's defense. Up step Bony, the stand-in striker who had been above average. Scored 6 goals and assisted 1, he might be over-shadowed by their new Signing Jonjo Shelvey. Scored 3 provided 3, he is doing a good job at the Liberty Stadium. I tip him to shine even more and he might have a place in England in the future.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-T_V9juvIeBc/UsjbxS7gN_I/AAAAAAAAA8I/tjdkrjisx20/s1600/6SW-5374832.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-T_V9juvIeBc/UsjbxS7gN_I/AAAAAAAAA8I/tjdkrjisx20/s1600/6SW-5374832.jpg" height="424" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
Will Swansea move up or down in the remaining fixtures? Well, with Michu back, they have a good chance. Laudrup is a good manager. Most importantly, their passing football is nice to watch.<br />
<br />
<b>West Brom </b><br />
<br />
West Brom had always been a team performance rather than individual. They have got some under-rated players in their team. with the sacking of Steve Clark, not sure if it was a correct decision though. 1 player seemed to stood out for me, his name is Chris Brunt. Who? If you are not a baggies fan, you might not know him. But he had assisted 5 goals this season. With a team of such quality, one might ask if they are in a correct position? They should remain this spot if they continue their form.<br />
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mh6XXwepkdA/UsjbydJtPFI/AAAAAAAAA8o/Au55hz1pLlQ/s1600/992D8D15-BBC5-B2BC-6DB0114B35A0294F.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mh6XXwepkdA/UsjbydJtPFI/AAAAAAAAA8o/Au55hz1pLlQ/s1600/992D8D15-BBC5-B2BC-6DB0114B35A0294F.jpg" height="496" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
<b>Norwich </b><br />
<br />
Time is running out for the former Newcastle Manager Chris Hughton. He needs to act fast or he will be the next one out. Norwich seemed to be flirting with Relegation this season. After being defeated and destroyed by Luis Suarez these few seasons, Ruddy might thought earning a call-up to England might not be a good choice. With Uruguay drawn with England in the group stage.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZEiGgeHvLmQ/UsjbxshKKWI/AAAAAAAAA8M/DyRnxsUWEiY/s1600/2444563101.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZEiGgeHvLmQ/UsjbxshKKWI/AAAAAAAAA8M/DyRnxsUWEiY/s1600/2444563101.jpg" height="640" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
The stand-out players for the Cannaries will be Gary Hooper and Nathan Redmond. When they are not playing, we know what happened to Norwich. This January transfer, Norwich might not have enough money to get a key signing and that might even cost them a place in the EPL come May. Although currently 15th place, they are definitely a candidate for relegation if they continue their poor form.<br />
<br />
<b>Fulham </b><br />
<br />
King Berbatov's Fulham had seen their long-suffering manager Martin Jol was finally sacked. In came former Manchester Utd coach René Meulensteen. His experience with Man Utd might proved to be essential as Fulham seemed to be on the right track? No. They were humiliated by Hull City 6-0. Fulham just dont have the hunger to win games, with their team on the decline due to their aging squad. They had been in and out of the relegation zone this season and they could be 1 of the hot favorite for the drop if they lose Berbatov in this transfer window.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OVd_OeZ60Fk/UsjbzrU9KqI/AAAAAAAAA9A/zG5z0lfGuf4/s1600/Rene%252BMeulensteen%252BEverton%252Bv%252BFulham%252BPremier%252Bo5nWFdJeCLkl.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OVd_OeZ60Fk/UsjbzrU9KqI/AAAAAAAAA9A/zG5z0lfGuf4/s1600/Rene%252BMeulensteen%252BEverton%252Bv%252BFulham%252BPremier%252Bo5nWFdJeCLkl.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></a><br />
<br />
However, their coach and staffing section had been great. With former QPR coach Ray Wilkins appointed as the Assistant Coach and former Charlton manager Curbishley appointed as technical director. They should avoid the drop if the coaching staff can impart some skills to the players.<br />
<br />
<b>Cardiff</b><br />
<br />
Cardiff had been making the headlines recently, starting with Malky Mackay saying if the Board refuses to make money available come Jan 14, they will have to consider investing only when they reach Championship next season. This outraged the club owner, Vincent Tan, a Malaysian tycoon. He instructed Mackay it's either he resign or he will face the sack. Mackay rebutted back saying he will never walk out of Cardiff on his own accord. The Cardiff fans sang their hearts out showing their support for Mackay but he was eventually replaced by the rumoured new manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XxvcGgybs2k/Usjb0BzcVlI/AAAAAAAAA9E/vesNS8xfMZA/s1600/solsksjaer-tan.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XxvcGgybs2k/Usjb0BzcVlI/AAAAAAAAA9E/vesNS8xfMZA/s1600/solsksjaer-tan.jpg" height="475" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
On pitch, Jordon Mutch had made great headlines with his fantastic match winners. However, it seems Cardiff is like another QPR in the EPL. Will they eventually finish to avoid the drop? It's still too early but they are also a candidate for the drop.<br />
<br />
<b>Crystal Palace </b><br />
<br />
Palace waited a long time before regaining their place in the EPL. Will they make an U-turn back to the championship immediately? Marouane Chamakh the forgotten former Arsenal man seemed to be up for a fight to make them Palace stay at the top league. But do Palace have the quality to maintain their top flight status? I don't think so. Looking at their form, they don't seemed convincing. Looking at their squad, i am not convinced too. It will take a massive effort to bring them to former glory once again. With a start at the championship most certain.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LeOVQYQhQfA/UsjbzOm7FLI/AAAAAAAAA8w/1CFwavGwMyE/s1600/Marouane_Chamakh_2758939b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LeOVQYQhQfA/UsjbzOm7FLI/AAAAAAAAA8w/1CFwavGwMyE/s1600/Marouane_Chamakh_2758939b.jpg" height="398" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
<b>West Ham United </b><br />
<br />
Oh dear, what is West Ham doing at number 19th? They should be in the mid-table for their quality. Maybe they are missing Andy Carroll, their big money signing who is still out injured. Maybe they don't have a back-up striker. Maybe their Captain Nolan got sent off too often. Too many maybes in their team and no wonder they are 19th.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SZT28dE3I6U/UsjbyoeSXUI/AAAAAAAAA8g/XlOxIpvjmpU/s1600/Kevin-Nolan-2902523.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SZT28dE3I6U/UsjbyoeSXUI/AAAAAAAAA8g/XlOxIpvjmpU/s1600/Kevin-Nolan-2902523.jpg" height="424" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
Big Sam Allayce will need to look into the piggy bank and see if there are any money left to get a few players to propel them forward. If they can't get out of the relegation zone by Mid Feb, it will certainly cost Big Sam his job. I am still certain the Hammers can bail themselves out of trouble come May.<br />
<br />
<b>Sunderland</b><br />
<br />
Gus Poyet side had suprised many by winning games in recent days. He is facing a uphill task. Out went the win-less Di Canio.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-M4WViUQfeD4/UsjbyakEFTI/AAAAAAAAA8c/pKPlw_-38uo/s1600/91087.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-M4WViUQfeD4/UsjbyakEFTI/AAAAAAAAA8c/pKPlw_-38uo/s1600/91087.jpg" height="378" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Poyet had transformed this team into a never say die team. Quality wise, Adam Johnson and Steven Fletcher is still their leading men. 1 quick the other unpredictable.<br />
<br />
However, Sunderland had proven in history that they can finish the league with minimum points, finish last and be relegated. Will this year be any different? Certainly a drop candidate, but their luck seemed to be changing. It will take a massive effort to save themselves.JD Stylehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04059495689802815653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3181550644473535014.post-63470089765850032922013-12-09T00:17:00.001+08:002013-12-09T00:45:55.051+08:00Breaking news - Riot at Singapore's Little IndiaWe had just received the news about the outbreak of riot at the Little India road.<br />
<br />
The below footage was captured by a resident near the little india vicinity.<br />

<br />
The exact reason why the riot broke forth was possibly due to a bus driver hit 1 of the jay walkers at Little India road. Witcast understand Jaywalking at the Little India road is not something new. In fact, it's a norm. We have not seen any traffic policeman or any Cisco officers etc coming to summon the Jaywalkers.<br />
<br />
Hence when someone finally got knocked down, the foreign workers showed the police who is the boss. Kind of sad news for us. In the above footage, we can see the workers even flipped over the Police Cars.<br />
In this instance, where were the Riot Police? They had been well trained all these while, but they were no where in sight. Moreover, they will have no idea who on earth destroyed their vehicles.<br />
<br />
In the below video, there were even fire that broke forth.<br />

<br />
We hope Singapore can be a safe environment for citizens and foreigners. By demonstrating such big scaled riot, it is indeed a sad news for everyone.<br />
<br />
We understand the Riot Police was called in later and had showed them whose the real boss.<br />

<br />
In our previous post on the start of this season's EPL actions, we had introduced the transfers done by all the EPL teams. Today, i will be giving you an update on the top 10 teams after 15 games and whether their KPI had been met or not. This article will also feature some of my personal views on the teams.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PpQjyd2bgRo/UqQ2oNBfZlI/AAAAAAAAA68/YvFX1pgJCLs/s1600/premier_league_football_520x300x24_fill.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PpQjyd2bgRo/UqQ2oNBfZlI/AAAAAAAAA68/YvFX1pgJCLs/s1600/premier_league_football_520x300x24_fill.jpg" height="368" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Lets begin with<br />
<br />
<b>1) Arsenal</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Prior to the game against Everton tonight, Arsenal sits on top of the EPL table with 34 points with 14 games played. After their 1st game of the season which resulted in a defeat against Aston Villa, they had gone to the next 9 games undefeated, collecting 25 out of the possible 27 points. Amazing feat. After their defeat against Man U, they had gone on to collect 3 out of 3 victories.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jJrGOqblSzo/UqQ2ifHsfHI/AAAAAAAAA6Q/MhJBIFOviWI/s1600/Arsenal-Wallpaper-HD-2013-9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jJrGOqblSzo/UqQ2ifHsfHI/AAAAAAAAA6Q/MhJBIFOviWI/s1600/Arsenal-Wallpaper-HD-2013-9.jpg" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
So, they had an exodus in their squad at the start of season, this had indeed made them even tighter as an unit together. Even when their bid for Liverpool's Ace man didn't materialised. They have Giroud, Ozil, Ramsey etc etc etc... so many talents.<br />
<br />
Come January, they should add 1 or 2 strong players to their team and they will probably secure a top 4 finish at the very least. As for their title bid, its been a very long while since they added anything to their trophies cabinet. Will this finally be their year? 1 thing for sure, they had exceeded everyone's expectation for them. Well done Gunners.<br />
<br />
<b>2) Liverpool</b><br />
<br />
Liverpool had been a sleeping giant all these years. This season we had seen some of the best football from them. Last season after 15 games they have only collected 19 points and stayed at 11th of the table. This term, they are staying at the 2nd of the table. Definitely impressed many of the Anfield faithfuls.<br />
<br />
So will they poise as a major threat to the other big teams as title contender? The Christmas fixtures may well determine their fate.<br />
<br />
However it will all depends on this man, Luis Suarez. Amazing 14 goals in 10 games, amazing strike rate that many EPL teams add their total goals together cant be compared to. Came back from his biting suspension, Suarez had once terrorised many of the EPL defenders and Keepers. Together with his striking partner, Daniel Sturridge; they had combined 23 league goals!<br />
<br />
Lets take a look at their signings, Mignolet (aka Mi No Let) had been outstanding. The goals that were conceded wasnt really his fault. He had even saved a penalty on his debut. He made many fans forgotten that Reina was even on loan. Kolo Toure on the other hand had his ups and downs, but overall he needs to speak lesser and perform better. Sakho is a great addition, but his tackles can be quite dangerous. Aspas and Alberto had not been the best signings for LFC, neither could loan signings Moses nor Cissoko claim a regular starting place.<br />
<br />

<br />
Overall, their target is always the top 4 finish, which this season should just be their season. If not, Mr Suarez will definitely leave. Any better than that(top 4) will be a good bonus to Liverpool.<br />
<br />
<b>3) Chelsea</b><br />
<br />
This looks like a Chelsea season when we learnt that Mourinho had returned as Chelsea's manager.<br />
They had their ups and downs this season. On par with Liverpool on goal difference, addition to some on pitch controversies involving Chelsea players.<br />
<br />
Generally, this seemed to be a slow start to the London Blues. The problem with Chelsea seemed to be inconsistency that they dearly hope to put a stop to.<br />
<br />
Their strikers : Torres, Ba, Schurrie and Eto'o can't seem to hit the back of the net often enough. Meaning their midfield is stepping up to score on behalf. Hazard, Oscars and Lamps are the Trio who tops the scoring charts for Chelsea. If the strikers can't score on a regular basis, this will be a problem for Chelsea.<br />
<br />

<br />
Despite Mourinho mentioned no one will leave and no 1 will come in come January, this Chelsea side don't seemed to have many options to claim games.<br />
<br />
The leak came when they lost to Stoke. If they wishes to take the title from their rivals, they need to strengthen their strikers' strike rate or get someone in who can fit the bill. However, since they are still in the top 4 so far, their make or break will come in after their hectic Christmas and new year schedule.<br />
<br />
<b>4) Manchester City</b><br />
<br />
At the start of the season, Man C's Chairman expects the team to win every single trophies available to them. I would agree that they have the potential to do it, but with 1 twist; if only all of their games were played at home.<br />
<br />
They are the only team in the EPL that had won all of their home matches this season. But away from home? 2 Wins, 2 Draws and 4 Losses.<br />
<br />
They had scored amazing 29 goals at home, conceding only 2. Their top scorer Aguero should claim some credit but Man C looks like a good team, with lots of goals flowing in from everyone.<br />
<br />
One person that was dropped was Joe Hart. The current England number 1 finally paid the price for his constant errors in goal. Will he pick himself up and claim back his spot? I bet he is praying his understudy fails so he can be recalled. World cup is coming, if he is not playing for club, i will be sure he wont play for country. The signings had been great, namely Fernandino, Jesus Navas, Negredo and Jovetic. But i think the manager will want to bring in some more players in January to ensure a good fight to the title.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cucsgxyybl8/UqQ2nN4g-bI/AAAAAAAAA6k/IcxIdDbnBL8/s1600/manchester-city-home-kit.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cucsgxyybl8/UqQ2nN4g-bI/AAAAAAAAA6k/IcxIdDbnBL8/s1600/manchester-city-home-kit.jpg" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
If Man C can take their home form to their away games, they will be a good team to claim the title. Too early to say if they can claim the spot their own. With many teams behind them knocking on their door.<br />
<br />
<b>5) Everton</b><br />
<br />
Everton had always been a silent dark horse throughout. When Moyes went out, Martinez took over. I had always thought he is a good manager, so when he is given a bigger team like Everton to manage, he will ensure he does his best to lead the team to glory. He was rumored to replace King Kenny at Liverpool before LFC revealed Brenden Rodgers as their choice.<br />
<br />
Everton had transformed into a tough nut to crack, beating teams such as Man Utd (whom also bought Fellani from Everton for 27.5m), Chelsea and Newcastle. Also to note, they had drew with Liverpool and Spurs. They are also the team that had lost the least. Only once to Man C.<br />
<br />
If there is a team that did far better than expectations, Everton gets my vote. However, they will need to retain the service of Baines. Already sold Fellani to Man Utd, their midfield is like having a hole to be filled. If Baines were to leave, their position might really decline.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3z-DRwUn6AQ/UqQ2grOuJ5I/AAAAAAAAA54/jN0JeaFSlo0/s1600/1095880-17399997-640-360.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3z-DRwUn6AQ/UqQ2grOuJ5I/AAAAAAAAA54/jN0JeaFSlo0/s1600/1095880-17399997-640-360.jpg" height="360" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<b>6) Tottenham Hotspur</b><br />
<br />
There is no bale to bail them out this season. In-came Paulino and Soldado, with the latter quite a failure. He had only scored from the spot? It cost Spurs 30m euros. Wow, if that isn't termed a flop, i don't know what else is.<br />
<br />
Do AVB knows who are his best team? All i can say is, Spurs are 6th because of good luck. If they goes on this way, their luck will eventually runs out and they will pay the price for it.<br />
<br />
I don't think they will finish in the top 4 this season. Though early but they just don't have the quality. Lots of attacking but they need a better striker to convert the possessions and chances into goals.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">I think you guys missed me</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
Come January, AVB might invest further to bring more glory to the team with the surplus from Bale sales. Until then, let's continue to watch them.<br />
<br />
<b>7) Newcastle United</b><br />
<br />
Newcastle had gone to places and secured big results, most famously against Man Utd last night. They had exceeded much expectations for them and they seemed to be another difficult team to beat. Also to note is they had beaten Spurs and Chelsea too in their journey.<br />
<br />
Every season they had produced some good strikers who eventually be sold off. 1st was Andy Carroll, then there were Ba and Cisse. Now Remy. Remy joined from the relegated QPR and Newcastle is happy to get him here.<br />
<br />
The Newcastle midfield are a closely knitted group of players, covering for each other and delivering the ball for their star striker. Another contributor is Tim Krul, who had kept his team safe at the back. Keeping 5 clean sheets which is 1/3 of their season so far.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wonUYcqLASg/UqQ2hQLoXHI/AAAAAAAAA6A/LydGDFjGQhA/s1600/2013-11-10T151201Z_2138106889_GM1E9BA1SCY02_RTRMADP_3_SOCCER-ENGLAND.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wonUYcqLASg/UqQ2hQLoXHI/AAAAAAAAA6A/LydGDFjGQhA/s1600/2013-11-10T151201Z_2138106889_GM1E9BA1SCY02_RTRMADP_3_SOCCER-ENGLAND.JPG" height="436" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
They will need to continue looking for ways to improve or else the teams below them will eventually catch them.<br />
<br />
<b>8) Southampton</b><br />
<br />
Another surprise package up in the top half of the table. Southampton had exceeded everyone's expectations to be in top 4 at some point. So what is their secret? Look at their team, Lallana, Rickie Lambert, Jay Rodriguez and Clyne the four Englishmen were the reason.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zKON5OProOU/UqQ2onO1NOI/AAAAAAAAA7I/OsGUxx8Z63Q/s1600/southampton.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zKON5OProOU/UqQ2onO1NOI/AAAAAAAAA7I/OsGUxx8Z63Q/s1600/southampton.jpg" height="430" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
All 4 had been in great form this season, not afraid of any of their opponent. They had stayed undefeated against Man U, Man C, Liverpool. And also picked up maximum points against the smaller clubs. Therefore they are where they are currently.<br />
<br />
Expect them to slip up to the mid-table once fatigue sets in. But whatever the case, this had already been a successful season for them.<br />
<br />
<b>9) Manchester United</b><br />
<br />
Sorry Man Utd fans, you need to scroll down to find your team here. We have all been through ups and downs, but i think not many Utd fans had ever seen their team suffering like this. The worst start to their season since the longest time. Very quickly you can see some of their fans turning against their club, pointing fingers at the Manager, players or even the referee.<br />
<br />
There used to be a time when winning at Old Trafford for away teams were so difficult, it was a fortress. This season, their away form is better than their home.<br />
<br />
Definitely the worst team we had ever seen from Man Utd. Moyes, the chosen one had tried not to rock the boat. Not getting too many new signings and didn't allow any 1st team player to leave during the summer.<br />
<br />
This is the same team that had won the league last season. Now clearly struggling. Moyes appeared to be very different from Sir Alex.If the team loses 1 home game, Sir Alex will vent his frustration on the players, appeared to have boot thrown at Beckham at one time. So they wont want to lose the 2nd game in a row. Moyes probably didn't did what Sir Alex did. Probably sat down with the players and tell them to do a better job next round. Surely Man Utd players do not like his style of coaching, hence they lost again.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nUVO2FfWxsQ/UqQ2oKUXlKI/AAAAAAAAA7E/3Ybsh8l17a0/s1600/moyes1_2679794b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nUVO2FfWxsQ/UqQ2oKUXlKI/AAAAAAAAA7E/3Ybsh8l17a0/s1600/moyes1_2679794b.jpg" height="398" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
No late drama in the Newcastle or Everton's game. It seemed something is missing for Man Utd.<br />
<br />
I expect a major acquisition from Moyes in the Jan transfer window. And if he still don't perform, bye bye to him. A center back seemed to be on top of his list. An attacking midfielder is also required. The problem will probably be the Board not willing to let him take charge till then. The stakes are too high for him to fail. No other manager will envy his current position.<br />
<br />
<b>10) Aston Villa</b><br />
<br />
Started the season with a big bang. Winning over current leaders Arsenal, went on a few good games along the way and ends up at number 10.<br />
<br />
It had been quite a joy watching Villa this season. They had been fighting for every ball, not giving the opponent a breather. Their pressing tactic had worked against some of the clubs. They had Christian Benteke to thank for at the beginning of the season, now it's more like a team play.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1TUNQm67kbE/UqQ2iy7mRhI/AAAAAAAAA6Y/jvjZDSj1i_g/s1600/aston-villa-squad-numbers-2013-2014.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1TUNQm67kbE/UqQ2iy7mRhI/AAAAAAAAA6Y/jvjZDSj1i_g/s1600/aston-villa-squad-numbers-2013-2014.jpg" height="466" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Similar to United, their away form is better than their home. They had only lost once away from home but had lost on 4 occasions at their home soil. If they can continue their fighting spirit, they will do well. But whether they can climb further up the table, it will be interesting to see who they managed to get come January.<br />
<br />
That's all for now. In the next part of their series, i will be giving an update for teams in the 11th to 20th places. Stay tuned.<br />

<br />

<br />
I bet many of you shoppers must have seen it and maybe had even tried a couple of their dishes.<br />
<br />
So is Tim Ho Wan worth the wait? We have seen plenty of media coverage of how long the diners have to wait. The longest being 1.5 hours of their time. Surely there's a better use of time huh?<br />

Had decided to pop by and decide for ourselves if the wait is truly worth it. Tim Ho Wan actually meant increasing good fortune in Cantonese, so we hope it's for our good fortune and not just the owner's good luck :)<br />
<br />
We arrived at Tim Ho Wan : 7:20 pm, waited around 15 mins before the waitress signaled to us that we can now enter the cafe.<br />

<br />
<br />
Took a quick look at the "Menu". No picture, no chef recommendation, no diner's favorite. However, there was this "heavenly kings" section where they listed their so called signature dishes. So we ordered 3 out of the 4 (Char siew bun, chee cheong fun with liver and Malay sponge cake), hoping they will be nice. Besides that, we had also ordered some siew mai, congee, beancurd skin related dish and some spring rolls.<br />
<br />
The service delivery was amazing. Once we had submitted our orders, our 1st dish was served almost immediately. 1st up, Century egg + lean meat + Salted egg Congee. By the look of it, it looks normal, nothing very different from those we always had at the hawker centers. But once you had tasted it, you might want to take a 2nd mouth and eventually finish up the whole bowl all by yourself.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
The 2nd dish, Char Siew Bao. The crust and the looks of it changed my perception of Char Siew Bao. To be honest, i didn't like Char Siew Bao since young, but this bun had just made me wanna try it.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
I took a bite at it and was amazed by it. It was awesome. It got me all excited, since this is mentioned as the top 4 dishes of the shop, i cant wait for the other 2!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
The 3rd dish, Spring roll stuffed with egg white. Looks like a normal spring roll to me. Didn't expect much as it was not 1 of the top 4 dishes. Ate the 1st piece, didnt like it. Thought it was a little blend. Next please.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
The 4th dish, Siew Mai!! I was kind of anticipating it since this is a Hong Kong Cafe, my expectation of it simply rises by 2 notches. The looks of it doesn't look very tempting. Well, took a 1st bite and thought it was very blend. So took the 2nd piece and it's the same taste. Decided to mix it with some soya sauce and it is actually pretty ok after that. But how can a siew mai be so blend? To me, this dish simply failed, big time.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Next, Beancurd skin stuffed with pork and shrimps. This dish looks rather nice. So i quickly took a piece. It's nice. But i wouldn't say it's super nice. Just much better than the previous 2 i mentioned.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vmUMU5sV_EU/UouPkeMVCdI/AAAAAAAAA40/ilGnZGQUmP4/s1600/IMG_8242.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vmUMU5sV_EU/UouPkeMVCdI/AAAAAAAAA40/ilGnZGQUmP4/s1600/IMG_8242.JPG" height="640" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Ok, 6th dish, finally the other big 4 appears. Chee Cheong Fun with pig liver. Hmmm, should i be happy? The Chee Cheong fun looks tasty but i am unsure about the liver. Took a piece of it and the verdict was out immediately. I think the prawn one would be a better choice. The Chee Cheong Fun is nice, very smooth but the ingredient within disappointed me big time.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-G1qo0J8NR8I/UouPjn0bMSI/AAAAAAAAA4w/aR-hGYhNAAY/s1600/IMG_8241.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-G1qo0J8NR8I/UouPjn0bMSI/AAAAAAAAA4w/aR-hGYhNAAY/s1600/IMG_8241.JPG" height="640" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Last dish to end our meal, Malay style sponge cake. My wife enjoyed it but felt she was a little full so didn't finish it. I took a small piece and didn't liked it. End of the reign of the big 4 dishes.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BrGLdK9eY0U/UouPIaHiS_I/AAAAAAAAA4U/3E58qlAMVWI/s1600/IMG_8239.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BrGLdK9eY0U/UouPIaHiS_I/AAAAAAAAA4U/3E58qlAMVWI/s1600/IMG_8239.JPG" height="640" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
I went on to observe the service attitude of the waitresses and found that they will greet their customers only if they are dressed in formal attire or they are Caucasians. Not sure this considers as a form of culture there but i am sure service should be based on the customer's outward appearance. As i received the greeting from the staff, i was rather pleased with their service :)<br />
<br />
So the verdict for me. 3 dishes impressed me but if you have to try 1 or maybe 2, just go for the Congee and the Char Siew Bao. You will not regret your choice. For my foreign readers, you might want to join in the queue when you are here in Singapore too (if time permits), it is located within Plaza Singapura (opposite Dhoby Ghaut MRT station)<br />
<br />
Have a great day ahead!!<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Some background prior to this video recording.<br />
<br />
According to the video owner, the lady in blue was queuing up for Bus number 950 at Woodlands Bus Interchange. Suddenly, there is this man who suddenly cut her queue, feeling annoyed, she asked him to queue up at the back instead.<br />
<br />
However, this man claimed that he was in the queue earlier. But he went off to buy a drink at the shop nearby and came back. Although he claims that he was in the queue, there were no alibi. Hence when the bus came, everyone in the queue went up the bus, this guy rudely spat at the lady in blue lady multiple times before he went up the bus.<br />
<br />
As the bus was full, everyone murmured to him to get down. He then pushed the lady in blue down the bus and spat at her more than 10 times. This lady then proceeded to call for help from the SMRT crew. This rude man was still hogging on to the bus by refusing to alight, he then blamed the driver for not starting the bus. I guess he was waiting for the guy to either alight or for the police to arrive.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile SMRT control room informed that there will be a second bus and now 2-3 SMRT staff + driver at scene but didn't do much. This rude man was still insistent that it was the drivers fault. The passengers on the 1st bus were screaming and shouting at this rude guy for being inconsiderate. There was this old man on the bus who almost got punched for telling him off. This rude man continued to fight back verbally with the entire bus load of passengers and also pushing his way through.<br />
<br />
The second bus came and the driver opens the back door of the 1st bus for passengers to alights. Then this rude guy rushed to the back of the bus and tried to stop the passengers from alighting. However his efforts was in vain as there were lots of people pushing him aside.<br />
<br />
This green lady in the video was unlucky one, who was stopped by him. He claimed she scolded him on the bus earlier and that is none of her business. He then grabs her by the hand, refusing to let her board the second bus, then proceeded to spat at her multiple times. When he pushed her, she shouted molest. That was when this guy denied. He went on to spat at her for more than 10 times again.<br />
<br />
After doing so, he tried to escape from the scene and board the second bus, but the passengers on board the 2nd bus stopped him.<br />
<br />
The rest of the story can be sent in the video above.<br />
<br />
In my view, yes we could all be pissed off at various times, especially if there were calling of names, or mockery that is offending. Words might even come out of our mouth that will cause us to have regrets for the aftermath.<br />
<br />
However, to spit at someone? Come on, is this a soccer game? Or do this guy thinks the girl's face is some basin in some toilet? Even in any soccer game, if you spat at your opponent, you might just face disciplinary actions from your club and the football association.<br />
<br />
Totally unacceptable behavior. Show this to anyone around the world, they will not accept his behavior. I doubt the local police will charge him for any criminal offence though. At most maybe the lady can sue him for civil offences. But at the end of the day, this guy should have controlled himself. If he can't get on the 1st bus, queue up for the 2nd bus. If you can't get on, keep waiting. We have seen someone posted that he had waited for 13 buses before he can board the 14th bus right? If you had left your queue, there is no such rule that you can re-join the queue unless if your loved ones are there.<br />
<br />
In summary, we should not condone such rude behavior in our society. If you are reading this and you happened to know this man, please let him know one day if someone were to spit at him, he won't be happy too.JD Stylehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04059495689802815653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3181550644473535014.post-30035648102555619642013-10-23T12:55:00.000+08:002013-10-23T12:56:22.583+08:00Symmetry<div style="text-align: center;">
Our friend, she made reservations to sit inside in the air-condition. We went there last month. When Baby and I reached there first, we noticed that they had some queue no. machine just like the one at GRUB, Bishan Park. But there was no need for it, so we went in and we were letting them know that we're here. Apparently someone bypass the queue machine came in and sat down at our table. How can you not see the machine, it's by the door before you step into the restaurant. Lol!<br />
<br />
<b>Advice: </b>If you want to eat at Symmetry, it is best to have a reservation as the waiting time to get a table would be a long time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Service?</b> I would say it was terrible.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had ordered a Sanpellegrino - Aranciata Rossa <i>(meaning: blood orange) </i>for my drink and the bad thing is they ran out of it and didn't even bothered letting me know that they didn't have it. Until after we kept asking them when is the drink coming, then only then they said it's out of stock. Oh wow right! Bad customer service, so I ordered something close to my Aranciata Rossa.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When my drink arrived at our table, it came in like some canister like mug with a metal straw!</div>
