Singapore Toilets


Befitting the squeaky clean image of Singapore, Singapore toilets, in general are clean, especially those in the modern shopping centres. Recognition must be paid to the arsenal of toilet cleaners who toil hard for hours everyday keeping our toilets (public toilets of course, not my toilet haha) clean.

I am writing about toilets as today I stepped into my company toilet, only to pass a cubicle which looked as though it has just undergone the ravages of the atomic bomb placed on Hiroshima in World War II. The whole cubicle, toilet pan and floor have been bombed. Like ashes that was found everywhere on the site of Hiroshima on that fateful day in WWII, the cubicle was colored brown. It does not take a genius to deduce what that brown filthy thing was.

I am shocked and appalled that such destruction to a toilet cubicle could be perpetuated by a human, and an educated office employee somemore, a learned man, someone who has undergone education and training. I am sorry to say that even a trained dog can know how to defecate properly.

What has happened to the bomber? Where was his sense of ‘educated-ness’. The redeeming factors might be that he has eaten some real terrible stuff, which upset his stomach, and before he could take out his pant and underwear, the bad food which he has eaten was too eager to see the outside world. Normally such bad stomachaches are relieved by some ‘winds’ flowing through the anus and before one could stop such wind, the wind got unleashed and with it, it carries the tons of brownies which ravaged the toilet cubicle as it got splattered all over the toilet pan and explode like there was no tomorrow. Redeeming the factors might have been, the perpetuator might have at least clean up some of his ‘mess’, there was a water tap next to the toilet pan.

As I stayed on the toilet, looking at the ‘destruction’, reflecting on the basic toilet etiquette of some Singaporeans, a cleaner came in, to clean up the mess. I pity him for having to clean up somebody’s mess. It was a horrible sight to lay eyes on, the cleaner staring at ‘Hiroshima’ not sure where to start clearing the ‘stuff’.

Vernon Leong Jun Wei

What happens to the 31 year old bride groom, Vernon Leong Jun Wei? As the news of this latest unnatural and bizzare death developed, it seemed that Vernon did not jump from the 24th storey of Hilton Hotel as was believed earlier. There were 3 video camera footages which might prove otherwises for the cause of Vernon's death. The first video footage showed Vernon at the 24th storey, making his way hurriedly into the fire escape staircase. The next video footage showed Vernon at the 2nd storey which also holds some shops and the final footage showed an unconscious Vernon motionless at the ground of the hotel. Vernon was cladded casually in a T-shirt and pants and have left his hotel room while his wife was taking a shower. It seemed that he might be escaping from something or somebody or that he might be chasing after something or somebody. What did Vernon see and experience at his last moments? The police is still investigating the case. It is really a very tragical and sad

Kampong Lorong Buangkok

Amidst the blazing afternoon sun today, my Dear and I made our way to Kampong Lorong Buangkok. The visit was a timely one as there is such a high buzz being generated over the last kampong in modern Singapore. After alighting from Bus 854 from Eunos, it was not difficult to find our way to the kampong. The entrance of the kampong was distinct as you could see from the picture: the 'ulu-ness' (rural charm) is evident from the attap-roofed buildings and more unkempt conditions. A signboard with hand-written text welcome my Dear and I to the last kampong in Singapore: As we entered the kampong, I spotted a middle-aged woman talking to an old man. I had seen the old woman before on TV. She was none other than the owner of the kampong land. In the documentary, I learnt that the whole kampong land was passed to her by her late father. She has kept the land and have not gone on to sell the land to the government. If she were to sell the land, she would be an instant multi-millionair

Performance Bonus

It is the time of the year civil servants receive their performance bonuses (PBs). In the coming two weeks, civil servants will not only receive their performance bonuses, special ‘growth bonuses’, would also await them for the very first time. These PBs and growth bonuses are only applicable to performers, defined as officers with assessed performance gradings above the ‘D’ grade. Typically, civil servants receive their performance bonuses in March, a 0.5 month of bonus in July and a 13th month plus AVC in December. Are all the bonuses good? To be frank, the bonuses dished out in Civil Service are averages at best. With the various bonuses being given out in these months: July, December and March, a civil servant who would like to quit would most likely try to find a ‘suitable’ month to quit so as not to forfeit his bonuses. The December bonus is generally the most generous portion. To quantify for this bonus, an officer would have to be in service till the end of January ne
