No Cycling Sign

Saw the above No Cycling Sign near the Carpark C of the Pasir Ris Park before entering the Boardwalk.

Shouldn't the Red Stripe be above the White Cyclist? Not too sure...or shouldn't it be something like the below;



Later in the park, saw another sign - No Fishing Sign;


This one, the Red Stripe is over the fish!

Old Woman Against Traffic Flow

This woman is seen pushing her cart full of paper box along Beach Road against traffic flow. You can see her doing it during the early evening (around 5pm to 6pm) from Concourse to Golden Mile Theatre at Beach Road.

Some passer-by had told her about the danger but she just carry on doing it. The footpath there are also not much better as it's usually parked with motorbikes and full of ups and downs the kerb too.

So watch out when you drive along there during the early evening time!

Stick No Bill

You see it everywhere especially at HDB blocks. Now they don't even paste it at the ground floor lift lobby, but at every floor. Pity the cleaner who have to remove it every time they paste it.

The act of it is already wrong, but if they use masking tape - it's still ok and easy to remove;


Hate those to paste it using glue;


It's difficult to remove and it will leave a mark on the wall like this;


Maybe the Town Council and RC should work together on this. Whenever someone paste such advertisement, the Town Council or RC member should call them up (since there are phone numbers on it) and ask them to come down immediately to remove it and fine them. If they refuse to come down, then the Town Council can report them since vandalism is an offence.

Dig, Pick And Spit

How do you feel if you are sitting besides a person who dig and pick his teeth and then spit on the floor besides you? I've encountered such a man at the foodcourt at Tampines Mart on Sunday 16 March 2008.

Playground Became Jamground

The newly opened Playground @ Bigsplash was jammed with traffic on last Sunday 9 Mar 2008 at around 6.30pm to 7.00pm. Let's take a look at what causes such jam inside the new Playground.

1. Cars parked at non-designated lots
Many cars are parked at non-designated lots near the zebra crossing and mini roundabout as shown in the above video. No lots or cannot be bother to look for one - to them is maybe it's ok to park anywhere they liked. Maybe the management should set up wheel clamp sign and start wheel clamping these vehicles that caused inconveniences to other users.


2. The Auto ERP style parking turned Semi-Auto caused jammed
When cars going out, the ERP styled parking system supposed to be auto sensing but somehow, it turned Semi-Auto on Sunday requiring driver to slot in their Cashcard to the reader in order to Exit.


3. Driver outside waiting for empty lot
As if the jam inside the Playground is not bad enough, this driver was waiting for an empty lot just outside the exit of the Playground causing an obstruction to free flow of traffic outside.


Sometimes I wonder why all these drivers why can't they be more considerate?

What's The Price Difference

Whenever I'm shopping at Shop n Save, I need to do mental calculation to see if I meet the target of $15 (or multiples of $15). I find it a real hassle. The purpose is that for every $15 purchased, you will get a 'stamp'. When you collect 12 'stamps' (that means $180 in a month) in a month, you can exchange for a $9 voucher (about 5% rebate).



Sometimes I wonder if I'm really 'shop and save'? One day, I happened to check on the price of this Owl brand Kopi-O Siew Dai coffee. This is what I found out when I made a comparison when there is no offer for both supermarkets - Shop n Save and NTUC;

Price of Owl brand Kopi-O Siew Dai:

Shop n Save : $4.35

NTUC : $3.80

Price Difference : $0.55


So the next time I shop at Shop n Save, I better take note of which item to buy. It's good to check the price difference on items that we buy frequently, I think.

Beware Of That Bamboo Stick

When you are walking below a flat, beware of those bamboo stick hanging above. This is especially so if you choose to walk below the laundry hanging area of the flat.

One day when I was at the kitchen, I saw something dropped down (at least 6 floor and above) and seconds later heard a loud 'thug' sound. I thought someone jumped down but luckily it was just a bamboo stick. But that bamboo stick will kill someone too if it hit that person!

So don't think that it will not happen...just be careful!

Value For Money Bread

Since the GST gone up from 5% to 7% last year in 2007, the cost of living is getting higher and higher. What's worst, even the price of a loaf of bread has gone up tremendously too.

I used to take Gardenia or Sunshine bread in the past, but since it has gone up to $1.75, I've switch to Sunny1 after reading the recommendation from the newspaper.

The taste, texture are just as good. The number of slices are even more and what's best it cost only $1.30! Don't you think it's value for money?
