Fireworks Season

Filed under: Interesting, Muses — Francis Sim at 10:00 pm on Friday, July 11, 2008

Usually, as the National Day approaches (similar to Independence Day of United States), we get the usual fare of fireworks displays during the weekends of August. This year’s schedule is out with a grand finale during the last weekend of August with performances by teams from France and Korea. It will be crowded but the visuals are usually worth the squeezing.

The Singapore ERP Future

Filed under: Interesting, Internet, Muses — Francis Sim at 2:12 pm on Friday, July 11, 2008

My country, Singapore, has a Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) scheme that functions like a toll collection system when vehicles enter designated areas. Over the course of the past few months, we have seen the ERP rates increased and ERP gantries sprouting up here and there. The cost of building each gantry is reported at S$1.5 million, a 50% increase of the previous cost of S$1 million. The ERP scheme was implemented to supposedly regulate traffic along roads with heavy traffic and also to curb car ownership. However, I beg to differ. Here’s some images circulating around the Internet. The watermark reads ‘LemonGraphic.sg’, so kudos to the guys at LemonGraphic.sg. They dipicted the situation quite well.

Cheap Ten Dollar KTV For All

Filed under: Interesting — Francis Sim at 9:24 am on Wednesday, June 11, 2008

It’s been a long time since I last did a post and I apologise for that. I have been busy with my examintions and currently on internship until the end of June. However, I just can’t help but to recommend this cheap and rather awesome deal I came to know recently.

Most in Singapore will know of PartyWorld KTV or KBox and recently, Top One KTV. The lesser known will be K-str which I think is rather cheap and value for money. This latest deal is located at Smith Street which is somewhere between Chinatown, Outram and Tanjong Pagar MRT stations. The KTV is called Ten Dollars Family KTV and yes, it is really $10! What you get is a 5 hours KTV session, freeflow of the drinks though you get a smaller range of selection and a bowl of shark fin soup which taste really good when you know you are getting a good deal.

When looking for the place, look up at the neon sign that reads ‘TD Family KTV’. The KTV is located on the 3rd floor of a shophouse. The place is definitely not sleezy and I think find the environment suitable for families. Also, the sound system is pretty good but not top notch. The song selection system is done via remote or the touch screen. Now, that’s really high tech though I am not quite used to the touch screen system.

Do check out the Ten Dollar Club website for the details!
