Kinetic Rain woman

Kinetic Rain woman:I think by now, many of us would have known about the woman who stood on the kinetic rain drops in Changi Airport Terminal One, created a scene and damaged some of these expensive artistic rain drops before being arrested. Her act has endangered some passengers, some was reported saying.


While many Singaporeans have come out to condemn the act, I think this Kinetic Rain woman has once again epitomise the success of Singapore's award-winning Changi Airport. Changi Airport has been embarking on a very interactive and experiential customer service initiative since Changi Airport Group was formed to oversee the operation of the airport terminals. The group has done a very excellent job towards engaging its customers from touch-screen toilets, giant slide at Terminal 3, many many retail outlets, different tour exhibitions and fairs at Terminal 3 area from time to time and a multi-media "tree" that allows visitors to take some photos and store inside the "tree".

I am not sure whether the woman may be too excited by the kinetic raindrops which are done so excellently and impressively so as to step into the experience herself, being part of the kinetic rain display? Only police investigations can reveal the woman's motivation of her act.

Meanwhile, our country is embarking on a ambitious project to build two more airport terminals and to convert the carpark in front of terminal one into a "Project Jewel". I am not sure whether this Kinetic Rain woman episode will influence the design of "Project Jewel"?

I have always thought that the most bizarre act in the airports would be to sleep at all corners of our comfortable airport terminals; now the kinetic rain woman's act seems to top this sleeping act! Watch the Kinetic Rain display after the meddling of it by the woman below:

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
