Vacation and H1N1


Headlines of major newspapers in countries all around the world are hogged with H1N1; not surprising as the world is fiercely combating this scourge of a disease with the WHO taking the lead.

Amidst the unrest caused by H1N1, many are thinking twice about traveling aboard and overseas vacation; however not to worry, most of the holiday destinations are still safe, just that one may need to take extra precautions and subject oneself to more checks at the various checkpoints.

H1N1 came amidst a global economic meltdown, faced with this double-whammy, many are feeling strained, worried and distressed. Due to this fact, I am encouraging more to travel especially in this period (just take extra precaution to guard against H1N1, that’s all).

One of the shows that one could travel to watch is the Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey Circus. This circus is reputed to be the Greatest Show on Earth and has won many accolades since its formation! Thus getting the Ringling Brothers Circus Tickets for this great circus show is one of the best recreation options one could have!

Alternatively, one could travel to be in the thick of action of the games at two of the famous fields: Coors Fields and Turner Fields. With a host of adrenalin-pumping and exciting games to be watched at these famous fields, it is a well-known fact that Coors Field Tickets and Turner Field Tickets are some of the hardest tickets to get from the box-office. So, my advice to all going for the aforementioned circus and field events is to get the tickets at the aforementioned websites (in the hyperlinks) to avoid disappointment for yourself and family and friends accompanying you too!

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
