I watched yesterday's live telecast of the table tennis match featuring Singapore's top Olympic player Feng Tian Wei play against Germany. Though Feng eventually won the game, I could see that Feng is actually playing hard. In terms of physique, I am not sure whether our female table tennis team is really in the best form compared to other players.

Howard Shaw jailed for 12 weeks
Howard Shaw was jailed for 12 weeks for having paid sex with
an underage lady, with the verdict out today. Personally, I find this jail
sentence fair for this category of crime.

Dennis Ng's advertisement still published on TODAY yesterday
After Dennis Ng's passing on, I was very surprised to still see his photo in an advertisement of his seminar on TODAY newspapers. However I think this ad was still published as it was already paid and scheduled.

Dennis Ng, founder of Housing Loan SG passed away
I was shocked to learn that Dennis Ng has passed away from a
heart attack after a financial seminar. Just a week ago or so, I saw him with
his wife at a gift shop at the newly-opened Gardens By the Bay. Dennis Ng is
the founder of HousingLoansg.com and has appeared in many TV interviews.
Though I have not attended any of his financial seminars, I
have read one of the books he authored titled “What your school never teach you
about money” which I have shared in a post here.

IRAS Income Tax

American cockroach
I watched an interesting documentary last night which detailed that cockroaches hold medicinal value. I do a "google" on this theme and I am quite surprised: there are some research pointing to evidence that cockroaches' body can be used to battle some of the most dangerous bacteria in the world.

Love in the First Degree
Some days ago, I caught a golden oldie "Love in the First Degree" on radio. This nice song sent me all the way back, many years back to be exact, to my primary school days when I would be hearing this song played in my school bus.

Why it may rain on our National Day?
Today, I am coughing real hard, just like many in the MRT train and in the office. I blame it on the weather which is sunny one moment and cool the next moment. Such swings in the weather pattern definitely causes people to feel unwell. Weather is hence a sensitive thing.

Making Public Transport Accountable - Park Byung Joon
Park Byung Joon has written a good opinion piece in yesterday's The Straits Times titled: "Making Public Transport Accountable".
In light of the spate of MRT breakdowns and disruptions affecting thousands of commuters every month, many Singaporeans, including myself have called for the nationalisation of the MRT system as this will shift the profit-oriented focus of the MRT operator into a more public-service oriented mode.

Media blackout for Singapore Athletes headed for London Olympics
I read on yesterday's Straits Times that our Singapore atheletes have headed off to London for the Olympic games with no interviews granted to the media, in accordance with a Media blackout imposed on the team.
I wonder why is there a need for such a media blackout? I believe it might have to do with the fact that our Olympic team may not want to raise expectations of Singaporeans on the team so as to give the team less pressure so as to perform well.

Hawker Food Size getting smaller
The portion of hawker food is getting smaller. At the old airport food centre today, I was quite surprised to see a bun of cream that accompanies the western meal which I had being half the original size now! Also sometime ago, a famous lor mee which I have at the newly renovated Eunos Food Centre now cost $3 instead of $2.50.

Where is the Public Spiritedness and civil conscience of Singaporeans?
As usual another working day. As usual, accompanied by the
hundreds of Singaporeans heading towards the MRT station, I took the free
dailies: TODAY and MyPaper. And as usual, I stepped on the congested escalators
up to the train platform.

WaterMelon
Watermelons are especially welcoming in this hot and humid weather Singaporeans experience. These days, the weather is really funny: rain and then it is hot; and the cycle continues.
I bought a Watermelon this afternoon for $4.50 from NTUC fairprice, cut the fruit into half and sent one half into a blender. My wife and I then experience 4 big glasses of watermelon juices (100% juices with just 4 small ice cubes). We were immensely satiated by the watermelon juices as it hydrates, invigorates and nutures our bodies!

Singapore Weather
It rained once again during midnight yesterday. Singapore Weather is really quite funny these 2 weeks: the weather is very hot and then it rains suddenly. As at this time of writing, the weather is 24 to 31 degree celsius with cold winds. I feel as if I am in Europe or Hokkaido with this low temprature.

SBS Bus Service 222: wastes my precious time!
I am a man who values time. With just 24 hours a day, I do not like to waste time. Today, however Bus 222 simply wastes my time! Around 1pm today, my wife and I waited for Bus 222 at a bus stop in a housing estate for close to 40 minutes! Seeing no sight of bus and that the bus stop is also full of equally frustrated passengers waiting for the bus, my wife and I decided to walk to our destination instead- though it was 4 bus stops away.

Why Mediacorp did not broadcast Eurocup 2012?
I received an email from Mr Winston Chong from Mediacorp Feedback Unit regarding my "Mediacorp should broadcast Eurocup 2012 Semi- Finals and Finals", his reply is as follows:
"MediaCorp embarked on discussions with the UEFA Euro 2012 rights owner but unfortunately, we were unable to conclude the deal on commercial grounds. As such, we were not able to carry any matches relating to UEFA Euro 2012.
Similarly for news coverage, the video clips rights were not available to free-to-air broadcasters like MediaCorp. Hence we can only reply on still photos."

Spain vs Singapore
Spain has really cemented its position as the world's No 1 football nation with the winning of 3 international football titles! Yesterday's Italy performance against Spain is really disappointing. 4-0 for Spain! I am sure if Singapore, currently ranked 157th in the world for football were to play against Spain, it would have scored a better scoreline, say at the most 3-0 by doing defending all the time.

Spain 2 Italy 0 Eurocup 2012 Half Time
By half-time, Spain has already scored 2 goals against Italy! I am very disappointed in Italy as I think they played a poor game in the first half. I just hope Italy's Super Mario can deliver another 2 goals in the next half for a equalizer but that possiblity is so remote.
