Is this school or Private Condo?

Look at this picture.  Did you see Zig Zag balcony?  Does it look like a private condo balcony?  I bet yes unfortunate this is not.  This is the balcony of a primary school being upgraded for additional classroom as well as indoor activities area.  Not too sure if provide any purpose but it is going to be a problem particularly during raining days.  The balcony will collect water, causing slippery floor that is dangerous for school kids.  I am not too sure if the architect think about practicality or just to be different.

 

3 days a week

not too sure if any of you notice that the parking warden, tp and lta are very hard working this few months.  I have noticed that a parking warden has stationed at the void of my block for 3 days a week from about 6pm to 7pm.  he sat there and waiting for those who parked their cars along the double yellow lines or loading bays for more than 15mins.

Don't say it too fast and too early...

Read this Straites Times news report on 28th Dec, 2011 and the next report on the 21st Dec, 2011.

PUB disagree with Liat Towers management claim.

3 days later, PUB now mentioned that the part of the Stanford canal was full thus rain water could not be flowed into it which was what Liat Tower claimed.

What do you think? Any comments?

Very Inconsiderate...

While riding along the New Punggol Park Connector from Punggol East (near Lorong Halus) toward the Punggol Marina, I came across this damaged shelter. The person who damaged this shelter is totally inconsiderate. This is damaging of public property and I hope the person be caught and given a few strokes.

Tampines Mountain Bike Park may not be long!!!

Tampines mountain bike park is a very popular park for lot of mountain bike riders particularly those staying in the east of Singapore.  Every weekend, there are easily 50 riders in the park riding.  It has a BMX racing track that meet the world standard.  This park was proffessionally renovated in 2010 for the 1st Youth Olympic that took place in Singapore.

Today, I received a map of the Pasir Ris - Punggol GRC and while looking through the map, I noticed something that was a little shocking to me. 

In the map, there is Tampines Ave 11 and Tampine Street 52 planned in the mountain bike park.  This really caught me by surprise.  Is government planning to get rid of this park?  I understand that land in Tampines has good value particularly those near MRT.  This mountain bike park is about 15mins walking distance to the Tampines MRT on the east-west line.  It will be about 10mins or lesser to the future Tampines central station on the Down Town Line 3 (DTL3) but to demolish a world standard mountain bike is really a waste.

If this park is gone, where else can the eastern mountain bike riders go to?  I rode a few times before the renovation and after the renovation.  I would really miss it if this is gone. 

I really hope this is not a case but a printing error of the map.

Do give your comments.  Thanks.

Finally Hawker gets her rightful share

Regarding about the case where a hawker striked more than $400k at MBS but was told that she could only get about $300k.  After more than 2 weeks, MBS finally agrees to pay her the full amount she won from the jackpot machine.  This is really a bad publicity for MBS, MBS could have pay her the amount she won from the jackpot machine.

What are your comments on this?

Food, Credit Cards and Singapore

Do you know the linkage between food, credit cards and Singapore?  I bet you probably won't know if you are not a Singaporean.  Singaporean loves to eat.  Eating out is so common and Singaporean will look for good food with great bargain.  Thus, the credit card companies or the banks will try to promote their credit cards linkage to food.

Just look at these 3 advertisement from this week newspaper, you will know what I mean.
