How the McDonald’s Hello Kitty Soft Toys showed me that the service of McDonald’s Singapore restaurants has dropped and How McDonalds Singapore can learn from the Changi Airport Group
McDonald’s Singapore has once again, after a hiatus of 12
years, launched the Hello Kitty soft toys collection. I still recalled 12 years
ago, when the soft toys were launched, they attracted large numbers of people
queuing at the McDonald’s outlets, many overnight. 12 years on, the soft toys
did not cause maddening crowds as the current versions were “not as nice” as
their predecessors. This fact however did not deter me from wanting to own this
new collection of the 4 Hello Kitty soft toys.

3rd batch of online sex scandal and ex-SCDF & ex-CNB corruption case to be heard soon?
With the Hougang by-election culminating in the win of the Workers' Party, I believe the third batch of men will be charged in the high-profile online sex scandal which featured some prominent high-flying civil servants. Also, the sentencing of some of the perpetuators in the first two batches including the famous activist, Howard Shaw may be known soon.

Hougang by-election polling on the way
Hougang by-election's polling is currently on the way. With no permits of assembly centres being issued, I think this by-election will be a quiet event. Singaporeans can only turn to Channel NewsAsia at 9pm to catch some of the action and excitement of this important by-election.

We have now Ferraris on our roads, and now we have segways on our walkways!
While jogging two days ago and passing by a private estate, I was surprised to see a middle-aged man transversing the jogging path in a segway! For those who are not too sure of what a segway is, you can google for the term.
How can a segway be used on our walkways like a bicycle? So far, I know that segways are deployed in Changi Airport and Sentosa and in my belief, these fast speed devices should be used commercially in commercial buildings, are they allowed on our common walkways?

Why I prefer to stay at home during weekends
I prefer to stay at home these recent weeks during weekends due to the very fact that I do not like to jostle with the thousands of shoppers in the shopping centres and commuters of the MRT trains and buses. Singapore's policy of opening our gates to thousands and thousands of "foreign talents" have really make everywhere in Singapore including the buses and MRT trains very very crowded. Hence I always wonder how can Singapore be one of the most liveable cities in Asia?

Have a Good Weekend!

Bugis Ferrari Crash
I was shocked and saddened to read that 2 innocent lives and families have been destroyed as a result of a Ferrari driven by Foreign Talent Ma Chi crashing into a taxi. Such race cars should not be allowed on Singapore's public roads. Race carslike the Ferrari driven by Ma Chi are meant to be driven at high speeds as they are afterall race cars.

Why our Education System needs to be improved?
Recently there has been much debate over the increasing need
of tuition to be deemed compulsory by parents for their kids from as young as
Primary 1. There has also been letters to the press that the tuition centres
here are outdoing one another by coming out with extra-difficult questions for
the students. In this regards, I think our education system has failed. We
should not train students to solve the most difficult problems; we should train
our students to ask the most difficult questions.
Singapore is Weather-sensitive
These few days, I have not been feeling well. I am one of
the thousands of Singaporeans, Permanent Residents and Foreign Talents here who
have not been feeling well these days. There has been a clear uptrend of people
getting sick these few weeks and the reason is simple: our changing weather.

Bulky Items along HDB common corridors
Mr Khaw, Minister for National Development has urged all flat owners to ensure they do not clutter their common corridors with bulky items which are fire hazards. Mr Khaw made this point after a fire has blazed 20 flats in Marsiling.

Green Man plus
LTA's recent implementation of "Green Man plus" is a good move for the "green man time" to be extended for senior citizens. I find that our escalators are also moving very fast, perhaps there will be a similar initiative for Singapore's escalator to benefit our senior citizens.
Chin Swee Road old building to follow Rochor Canal path?
As I walked along the block of old flats and shophouses at Chin Swee Road, I thought to myself that in our country where old buildings and shop houses with great memory like Rochor Canal have to give way to build more roads for an increasing population, I think these great old buildings at Chin Swee Road may been torn down soon, like Rochor Canal Road's flats.

A service experience I experience too
If you have read my blog post, you would have read about how many times I need to resort to speaking a particular language that the foreign talent service staff can understand in order for them to serve me. I also said in my post that as a result, I become the service provider too to the supposedly-real service provider. This article echoed my almost-daily encounter with the Foreign Talent service staff Singapore has brought in by the tens of thousands.

Istana tour
I went to Istana in the afternoon today with my family on Istana's Open House this Labour Day. It is a great outing. Istana is really an excellent place and I love its clean healthy breath of fresh air of flora.

Labour Day
Today is Labour Day, a day which I can spend some time at home resting. I woke up at about 10 am today which is quite late according to my waking-up-standards.
Many of my colleagues and I think a lot of working people in Singapore would have taken long leaves in line with Labour Day Public Holiday and Vesak Day off-in-lieu for a breather in overseas countries.
I still recall when I was serving in the Army during National Service, I spent all my Labour Days doing Guard Duty. Life during National Service was terrible as the officers and sergeants were not good commanders. But at the very least, some years ago, Labour Day was the day when I took my girlfriend then (now my wife) to our first ever outing to Pasir Ris Beach.
