Ion Orchard

-
Ion Orchard Shopping mall opened with great fanfare on Tuesday 21 July 09 and my Dear and I visited the sprawling mall yesterday!
The shopping mall was chokeful of people, and people and more people! I found the mall, glitzy on its facade was not as big as I have expected on the inside. There were just 4 storeys of high fashion labels and powerhouses.

The basement of the mall was like more tricky. We thought the mall has just 2 basement levels. It was only after we went around to explore the other parts of the mall that we learnt that there was 4 basement levels in all, with Basement 4 being the place of food!


Ion Orchard was distinctly more flashy in terms of facade than its counterparts on Orchard Road. But it was just another typical shopping experience in the inside of Ion Orchard. And comparing Orchard Central with Ion Orchard, both my Dear and I would give Orchard Central the thumbs up for giving a more extraordinary, relaxed and uniquely different shopping experience of Orchard Road!

Every employee has an income to sustain him and his family as well as the monthly mortages when one buy a house . However, who does not want to be rich? To augment one’s income beside the monthly income he earns from his employer, there are many ways people have explored.

-
An article written by Dr Lee Wei Ling, Director and Senior Consultant of the National Neurology Institute, who is better known to Singaporeans as the daughter of Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew appeared in “The Sunday Times” today. The article was titled “Why I choose to remain Single?” in which Dr Lee shared with readers the reasons for her choosing to remain single. Dr Lee began her article describing the great love, care and bonding between her parents, especially during this period when her mother’s health is not as good as before. Few paragraphs later, she brought readers back to her reasons for choosing to remain single, though it was mentioned Dr Lee has suitors and dated before.

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...
