The Straits Times was an interesting read yesterday. On the one hand, they reported that Senior Minister of State for National Development Desmond Lee as saying the number of tree failures in Singapore has fallen three-fold since 2001. In fact, the numbers given were there were 3,000 tree failures in 2001, but only 800 in 2016. Then, when you read further, there was this news about a tree that fell onto the road along Kaki Bukit Ave 1 on Monday. Luckily, no one was hurt in this incident. What was interesting was that about 20 people all helped to clear the tree off the road.

Omg I super love this! Saw this at one of the HDB blocks in Bishan. It seems that a thoughtful resident placed a full bottle of mosquito repellent in every lift for his/her neighbours to use given that repellents are being sold out everywhere. Can we have more of such community spirit please? :') Majulah Singapura!

It is a sad time for our neighbor, Mr Rafi Basiran, his wife and 2 children. Words cannot express the sorrow and shock they feel when they saw their home was burned down on Easter Sunday night, 27 March 2016.

I boarded the MRT train at Yishun. The moment I stepped into the train, a kind gentleman immediately gave up his priority seat for me. I thanked him and he acknowledged with a smile. I boarded the train from Chinatown. The same kind gesture happened.

I wanted to wash my car and drove down to the washing bay at the multi storey car park just now. A man was washing a merc there in the middle of the 2 washing bays. Stopped there & had a brief eye contact with him. Had to park at the handicap lot to wash instead. Took my pail to fetch water at the water dispenser. Obviously, he saw me but there was no response from him. I had to waste some water as my pail was not big enough for the flow duration (usually I would splash the car as the water flows) and had to carry the heavy pail of water from the soapy and wet bay he had created.

My Bike suddenly breakdown this morning in MCE while I was on my way out, Feeling helpless as its too far to push to the main road out there . And there isn't any taxi avaialbe to pick me up in the middle of expressway . I can only do what I've done before in overseas . Which is to hitch-hike!
