Hopefully We will Meet within this Decade I believe that almost everything in SG is sanitized, perhaps, too sanitized. There are not many individuals, whom I desire to meet in the near future: the fading retired 85+ Justice L. Houlden (formerly a Justice with the Court of Appeal for...

Hi [scroobal], Thank you for the url. Otherwise, I would have read only the National Geographic. I would love to meet you, one of these days. p.s. Thank you to all those who "upped" my reputation points. You have been so kind and generous.

Re: Minister's English I am not an English expert, but only attended a so called English school in SG. However, the establishment will claim that he is a bilingual SAFOS. He may be a scholar, may be fluent in Mandarin, but based on what I have read, his spoken English is apparently...

Canada - The True North Strong and Free Canada is not for those who love warm weather. It was minus 15C, but felt like minus 25C with the wind chill on Dec 29, 2009. It kills most of the bacteria when the lakes freeze, and by next summer the cool fresh water lake is clear, clean and...

A Healthy New Year We wish [scroobal], brothers and sisters here, a Healthy and Satisfying 2010. Keep Up the Good Work.

Hi [scroobal], Please elaborate on the 18 seats. Are they going to introduce 18 single member constituencies? Thank you.

I assume that your spelling has been executed deliberately. However, there is a difference for the following: you, your, you are.

Thank you for the link. I do not believe that wikipedia.org was up and running with all that information at that time. The details pertaining to schools attended were not at wikipedia until after the PAP and/or he provided it via the resume for MP's.

Hello [scroobal], Thank you for the write up. About 15 years ago, during one of my visits to SG, I had an encounter with one of the top few litigators in SG. At one of the housing estates, my brother could not drive through a lane or driveway to the car park, as it was blocked by a...

Please allow me to re-write your request for advice (with a "c" as a noun, whereas "s" is advise as a verb) and recommendation. Seeking comments, opinion, advice and recommendation. A few of my friends prefer Thailand and Vietnam. A few of my friends migrated to Australia. I am not...

The written English needs improvement.

Re: Dual citizenship Thank you. At this time, it is unlikely that either my spouse or I, and very unlikely that our children will choose to reside in hot and humid SG. But the world is round and I am unable to predict the future. I prefer to have keys to several doors.

Re: Dual citizenship Thank you for your suggestion. Yes, we did consider the USA, but then and as at this time, we do not qualify. We are aware that the USA did amend its legislation to allow dual citizenship.

Re: Dual citizenship I made that decision on my own, and applied for SG citizenship for our children before each of them turned age one, without discussing or listening to any individual. I did that because no one can foresee the future, and if there is an opportunity to open more doors for...

Re: Dual citizenship Although our children were all born in Canada, I made the effort to apply for SG citizenship for them. No one can foresee how the future will unfold, but one of our children indicated that he desires (and for now, has demonstrated the academic ability, curiosity, and...

Abang, I am trying not to be judgmental, but regardless whether or not an individual is a university graduate, trying to speak and write grammatically correct English is important in order to make oneself understood in other English speaking countries, and to demonstrate one's continuing command...

Abang, I was born in Singapore, and therefore, not a native speaker of English. However, please allow me to correct your English, in green, for your consideration. Good luck.

Re: Good Neighbours We sneaked in to search for those lost golf balls. I will have to walk the new trails at Mt. Faber. Thank you.

Re: Good Neighbours You reminded me of the fun days as a child. Kite flying or rather kite fighting with strings glued with glass particles, spinning tops (gasing?), bird catching with melted golf balls applied to branches or sticks, catching butterflies and dragonflies, playing in the...

Re: Good Neighbours It is very unfortunate that the good old days of freindly neighbours with unlocked doors are gone. I recall that during my childhood, we lived at the foot of Mount Faber, facing Jardine Steps (now known as World Trade Centre?). After school, I was the only Chinese boy...
