For me, the toughest part of my job probably comes from my role as a drink stall assistant. From the common Iced Milo to the more complex Teh O Siew Dai Po Bing and even the rather unorthodox Kopi Milo, I am in-charge of taking the orders, collecting the money, giving the change and sometimes even making some of the simpler drinks myself. At any one time, I find myself having to divide my attention between 3 separate tasks and as expected, drink spillage and burnt toast have been common ever since I joined. Thankfully, the aunties have been really encouraging or rather tolerating my performance.

Netizens on his Facebook page had mixed reactions to the changes, with some questioning if the new test would be too easy.The removal of three other stations also raised concerns among some fitness experts. Director of Genesis gym Jonathan Wong, who conducts IPPT training, told The Straits Times that while the new test was "significantly easier", it might undermine combat fitness standards.

Minister for Defence Dr Ng Eng Hen announced changes to the IPPT format today (23 Jul). Under the new IPPT format, NSmen will be required to complete three stations instead of five. The three stations are Push Ups, Sit-ups and 2.4 Kilometers run. These changes are only applicable to Operationally Ready NSmen. NSFs and SAF regulars are still required to complete the five stations under the previous format.

The Army has completed their review for the new IPPT. Instead of the current five, there will be 3 stations – 2.4km run, sit-ups and push-ups. This new format will make it simpler for NSmen to train for IPPT, and for more to pass. Many other militaries use 3-station tests to keep their forces fit.

Chan Chun Sing was earmarked to be Chief of Army (COA) years before he ascended to it. He is so intelligent it's rumoured his CEP was COA when he was a CPT. Chan Chun Sing and Tan Chuan Jin will most definitely become the next Defence Minister and possibly DPM. Chan is the best of the best. He is down to earth, understands how the men feel and he puts them as his priority. I was with him at the battalion level and also on division level. I have never seen such a SAFOS.

On the said day, my wife was on medical leave. (I have attached a copy of the medical certificate). I had to rush to get a copy of her MC together with her statement to submit to her company. I also had to attend to her since she was very sick and she had a history of fainting spells. I was too busy taking care of her and the children. I was also working the afternoon shift on that day which was a Friday. The following day is a Saturday and I had to go Johor Bahru for some urgent business.

Ever wondered why that person you had been eyeing for weeks just rejected you in a flash? Ever questioned why the love of your life, after years of being together, just threw you away (sorry to the recent singles!)? Well, chances are that you were taking lessons from the wrong teachers, possibly from K-dramas. Here are 10 ways your endless nights of K-drama marathons may contribute to transforming your happy love life into a terrible one

93 percent of the HR staffers deciding whether to call in someone for an interview were female. It turns out that HR women (who also tend to be young and single and hence still in the dating market for men) are eager to meet with handsome men. But they’re jealous of beautiful women. So your business is losing out on talented people (and wasting time with untalented ones) based on their looks.

“I don’t care about the Jews, the Palestinians, Fatah or Hamas,” Nimr (Nicholas Jacob), a closeted gay Palestinian, declares to his thuggish older brother, Nabil (Jameel Khouri), in “Out in the Dark.” He’d better care, because those defiant words will come back to haunt him. A psychology student who secures a temporary academic permit enabling him to travel between Ramallah, in the West Bank, and Tel Aviv, Nimr has a bright future.

I was involved in a Court Case for speeding - I had exceeded 40 km/h driving at 110+ on a 60km/h road. It was after 10PM and there were very few cars on the road, so I stepped on it wanting to get back home quick. A week later, I received a nasty letter of summons from Singapore Traffic Police asking me to attend Court. At the Sub Court, there were loads of other people in the same boat as me. Thankfully, I was fined just $500 and slapped with a 12 points Demerit.
