| Festivals Galore in Singapore | | 2008-08-27 23:01:53 | | image by -wh- Living in Singapore is a great education on world religions. The wonderful thing about Singapore is the way Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Christians, and Jews all live side-by-side and tolerate each other's beliefs. The oldest Hindu Temple (Sri Mariamman Temple, dating back to 1843) in Singapore is in the heart of Chinatown, and the two minute drive between River Valley Road and Oxley Rise will take you past two Hindu Temples (Sri Donaayuthapani and Sri Thendayuthapani Temples), a Catholic Church (Church of the Sacred Heart), and a Synagogue (Chesed El Synagogue).This is a busy time of the year for the different communities in Singapore (and worldwide). The Holy month of Ramadan is about to start (1 September until 30 September) and the holiday of Hari Raya Puasa (1st October) will mark the end of this important time. Hari Raya Puasa signifies 'openness' of both mind and heart, and in multi-racial Singapore, this is often expressed in the practice of inviting non-Muslim f | | By: SINGAPORE KIDS PLACES | | |

| Primary Schools in Singapore | | 2008-08-26 07:38:23 | | image by Purple_manIf anyone is interested in a very interesting and comprehensive report on how to choose the right Primary School in Singapore (local system) please take the time to visit Dominique Goh's blog, From Dominique's Desk, and download her free e-book. Until I read the report I hadn't realised how complicated the system here is for selecting a primary school.She explains the difference between affiliated and non-affiliated schools, and that some schools are taught in Chinese. There are single and dual session schools, Religious affiliated and clan affiliated schools, co-ed and single sex schools, and schools which support special needs children.Dominique runs through the costs related to schooling as well as the registration proceedure. This kind of information will make life a whole lot easier for anyone contemplating this big step in their child's life.Dominique is a mum of two young boys, childcare educator, blogger, and freelance writer.

| SAFRA Singapore Bay Run & Army Half Marathon 2008 | | 2008-08-24 23:02:51 | | 24 August 2008It has been 2 years since I last ran the Army Half Marathon, previously also known as Sheares Bridge Run. This year, I registered for the 21km competitve run with my Brother and Jian Hao.I had not been running for months and I'm certain that this half marathon would be a tough one for me to complete. Nevertheless, at 5.30am, we reached the start point. As it was raining the previous day, the Padang field was extremely muddy. The slight drizzle at 5.45am caused some of us to worry. But the worry dissipated when at 6.30 am, Chief of Army flagged off the race.What made me enjoy the AHM 2 years ago was the experience of running on the road (specially cordoned off for the event), the cool morning breeze, and sightseeing.After a trip to the toilet at the 2km mark, I lost Jian Hao and my Brother. Starting off the race at too fast a pace, I was already panting then. Jogging upslope at the East Coast Parkway (ECP) eventually tire me off.Throughout the race, I was jogging and brisk | | By: My Encounters, My Life | | |

It was so great to spend time with an old friend with whom I share so much common history.There are a few things on my list which we didn't manage to do, but in all, we did plenty, and as it was Bec's second visit, it wasn't a big deal to skip a few things.Here's what we did manage to do:Walked in McRitchie ReservoirAte Dosai in Little IndiaLooked at animals at Night SafariLooked at birds at Jurong Bird ParkLooked at Singapore under construction from the Singapore FlyerHad a swim at the local poolTraveled to Sentosa via Monorail and then watched Sentosa 4D Magix Show and rode the Luge/Sky RailLooked at shops at Vivo City Ate pizza at Italian Restaurant, La Nonna, in Holland VillageAte dumplings at Din Tai Fung, ParagonWe didn't do anything too cultural or educational; it was just a fun traipse around some of the sights. | | By: SINGAPORE KIDS PLACES | | |

| Singapore's 43rd Birthday - A National Day worth Celebrating | | 2008-08-10 11:14:07 | | Whenever Singapore celebrates its birthday, Singaporeans are reminded of how the state gained its independence in 1965. Then, it was considered a "political joke". Nobody thought such a small state, naked of resources, could survive and prosper in the international realm.The People's Action Party (PAP) would always remind Singaporeans that it brought Singapore to where it now stands. Being the only government that we have seen, it has to be the case. However, the Opposition parties would argue that many other factors contributed to the nation's success as well, and the PAP had its blunders too.As Malaysian politics gets increasingly dramatised, its neighbour island state is not getting spared too. Almost every day, there are articles and commentaries debating the authoritarian style of the PAP. Even in the morning of National Day, the Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) was distributing flyers and selling books for its Tak Boleh Tahan campaign in Toa Payoh.Singaporeans have every reason t | | By: My Encounters, My Life | | |

| Singapore banks sound warning after mixed results | | 2008-08-07 11:22:00 | | SINGAPORE - Singapore banks warned Thursday of tougher times ahead after reporting mixed results for the second quarter as economic growth slowed and financial markets struggled.Net profits in the June quarter rose at Southeast Asia's largest lender DBS Group and at United Overseas Bank (UOB), but fell at Oversea-Chinese Banking Corp (OCBC).DBS said it had made a profit of S$652 million in the three months to June, up 16 per cent year-on-year, but chief executive Richard Stanley said it would remain vigilant."We will continue to be watchful and vigilant in the months ahead as the operating environment becomes increasingly challenging," he said.Analyst David Lum from Daiwa said the only blip on DBS second-quarter results was the fall in net interest margins, a key measure of bank profitability."DBS was the only one of the three Singapore banks to report a decline in net interest margins," said Lum, referring to the trio that put out figures this week.

| Being a Tourist in Singapore is Exhausting! | | 2008-08-07 10:37:51 | | We have been busy tourists trying to fit everything in while Bec is here from Australia, and I must say that being tour guide is exhausting! Everything is pretty spread out and we are reliant on taxis to get us almost everywhere. One day I will drum up enough courage to hire a car for a few days and see the island that way.Since my last post we have been for the swim (tick), visited the Night Safari (tick), taken a ride on the Singapore Flyer (tick), been to the Jurong Bird Park (not on the list), and had a masala dosai in Little India (tick). Today is rest day before we head to our favourite child-friendly resort, Sea Gypsy, in Malaysia for four nights.All the outings have been lots of fun. The Night Safari is a highlight of anyone's visit to Singapore. There is something special about seeing the animals at night, even though I found the commentary on the tram annoying and the noise of the people around us intrusive.

| Alex Pagulayan Wins Guinness 9-Ball Tour, Singapore Leg! | | 2008-07-29 12:34:37 | | 2004 World Pool champion Alex Pagulayan, aka The Lion, defeated compatriot Dennis Orcollo with an 11-6 score to bag the Singapore leg of the Guinness 9-Ball Tour! Alex Pagulayan's victory earned him the top prize of US$15,000 top prize while the world’s number one pool player, Dennis Orcollo, who entered the tournament as a wild card bet, got $6,000. Incidentally, the win also ended the Chinese Taipei stranglehold on this year's Guinness 9-Ball Tour. The Chinese Taipei players previously dominated the Tour as they swept all six legs last year and this year's first three legs, which were all won by Chang Jung-Lin, who swept all six legs in 2007 and this year’s first three ones, was booted out of the competition by Filipino pool player Dennis Orcollo in the group stage.

The crisis has also battered financial markets."What worries me is that no one seems to know the full amount of off-balance sheet securities circulating in the financial markets," Wee was quoted as saying.The subprime homeloans were repackaged into securities and sold to investors around the world.

My first thought was "Did anyone sign this up for me?"Immediately, I attempted to log in at the website. However, fortunately or unfortunately, the given username and password didn't work.A try at resetting the password shows that the username is not found.Uh Huh! Another spamming email to drive traffic to its site! The email by eDLink Singapore mimicked a registration confirmation email so that it gets readers of such emails to log on to its website to check it out. According to the spam law in Singapore, all advertising emails/SMS would need to include a in its message title. So eDLink Singapore literally found such a loophole to gain traffic for itself.I thought such unethical approach by eDLink Singapore would definitely be detrimental to its image. | | By: My Encounters, My Life | | |

This was the recommendation made by the Committee on the Expansion of the University Sector in a preliminary report released on Tuesday. The committee also proposed that the fourth local university should set an annual intake of about 2,000–2,500 students and provide the bulk of the additional university places required to achieve the target 30 per cent cohort participation rate outlined by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong at the 2007 National Day Rally. While recognising the progress made by Singapore's existing universities, the committee - which began studying the education landscape last September - asked that consideration be given to the introduction of a liberal arts education in Singapore.

| Looking Up To David At The National Musuem of Singapore | | 2008-06-21 04:17:33 | | The other day after the movies I took Ben across to the National Museum of Singapore for a quick look. We didn't have time to look at the Mozart Exhibition, but I thought it we could find something of interest in the free galleries.And of course the first thing you see even before you even walk through the front door is the huge David Sculpture in the main atrium. Done by Indonesian artist Titarubi, it totally dominates the space and is quite a focal point for little children.I love the way the artist has covered this iconic image of ideal masculine beauty with a very feminine brocade fabric. The delicate swirls and flowers soften his muscles and confuse his gender identity. He becomes a camp figure posing in front of the mirror! It also brings him into comtemporary culture, and for me this is brilliant.

| Singapore steals a march on Hong Kong | | 2008-06-10 06:55:00 | | By Sundeep Tucker in Hong Kong Hong Kong has been overtaken by Singapore in a new ranking of global commerce, the latest sign that its arch-rival is stealing a march in the battle to be Asia ’s leading international financial centre.The report on the top 75 worldwide centres of commerce, commissioned by MasterCard, shows Hong Kong slipping from 5th last year to 6th, while Singapore jumped two places to 4th. The city-state narrowly failed to take 3rd position from Tokyo, which owes its lofty position to its enormous domestic financial market. London and New York took first and second place.The index combines seven measures of commercial power. While Hong Kong retained its ranking as the world’s No.1 business centre, it trailed Singapore as a financial hub and in other areas including economic stability, legal and political framework and liveability.The figures show that Singapore pulled away from Hong Kong last year when it came to the ease of doing business, a measure which encompa | | By: Nerdy Eddy | | |

| Singapore Pools give me $$$ | | 2008-05-30 01:16:00 | | Yup not alot but enough to cover me for what I had spend to buy "Scratchit!". During lunch today when over to the SingPost NTUC with the rest of my lunch kakis and got introduce to this new game by them. Feeling abit lucky I decided to buy $5 but then later change my mind to buy $10 instead (and I am glad I change my mind).Bought the 10 coupons went back office and started scratching them and man am I sad when after the 7th coupon I only won $1 (still a $9 lose). Luckily when scratching the last coupon I got $10!!! Am I lucky or what! For the rest of my lunch kakis well everyone won something although some not able to cover back what they had spend. So end of the day got a profit of $1 which I wonder what I can spend it on... And if you are looking for the thrill of winning and not wanting to lose lots of money just to feel this thrill can give "Scratchit!" a try. Just spend about $10 and you can have a 1 in 10 chance of getting a win. :)----------------------------------------To be or | | By: Boleh! Boleh! | | |

| The Fund Mgt Activities in Singapore", by Valerie Wu | | 2008-05-24 05:52:00 | | EXECUTIVE SUMMARYSingapore's booming asset management industry saw its sixth consecutive year of double-digit growth in 2006, boosted by continuing worldwide interest in Asia's rapid economic. According to the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s (MAS) latest survey of the asset management industry, the amount of assets managed by Singapore-based fund managers swelled by 24 per cent last year, reaching $891 billion at end-2006, compared to $720 billion a year earlier. Since the mid-nineties, the Singapore Government has identified the investment management industry as one of the key financial sectors to develop. With this in mind, the MAS has introduced a variety of incentives and reforms to encourage the growth of the investment management industry. The MAS and the Government of Singapore Investment Corporation (GIC) have committed to place out a total of S$35 billion of funds to external fund managers over the next few years. This will serve as seed money to grow the Singapore fund | | By: How to be Rich, Happy and Free from Scams | | |

| 1953 Johor letter 'hands' island to Singapore | | 2008-05-24 04:15:00 | | nst - [...] The ICJ also noted that the strength of Singapore’s claim lay in a letter sent by the state secretary of Johor in 1953 to the Singapore government where he informed that “the Johor government does not claim ownership of Pedra Branca”.

| Pedra Branca belongs to Singapore! | | 2008-05-24 04:01:01 | | 23 May 2008As a Singaporean, today marks an important day. The 28-year dispute over the Pedra Branca is resolved. Pedra Branca belongs to Singapore!Watching the International Court of Justice ruling live on Channel NewsAsia, I was paying close attention with ears wide to what the Judge was trying to read out from his script. It took about 2 hours before he finally announced that Pedra Branca belongs to Singapore; Middle Rocks go to Malaysia and South Ledge ownership would depend on the International Sea Boundaries. 12 judges agreed that Pedra Branca belongs to Singapore while 4 disagreed.In my opinion, the judge ruling on the matter displayed signs of diplomatic gestures. Singapore takes Pedra Branca while Malaysia takes Middle Rocks. The ICJ leaves both parties to work out on South Ledge. It seems like the most optimum "win-win" situation that could possibly work out.
