16 more ERPs to record 71 this year!!

ERP ERP and more ERPs... ! Today the transport minister just announced the additional 16 gantries! These are literally CASH gate for the government! I believe they understand that this ERP is not gonna solve any traffic problem. I wonder how much revenues they collect with additional 16 gantries!! Look at the freeway other countries have!! Instead of adding more gantries which is not gonna solve the congestion, why not think of building highways with more lanes just like that? Mr transport minister, An idiot also can understand you are not trying hard enough!! Don't just add gantries! THINK OUT OF THE BOX WOULD YOU? Seriously , why r we paying you 1 Million to add more gantries and suck our pocket dry? You are not solving problems man!!!

T.C Electronics Chorus

The Sweetest Chorus ever in my opinion!Had been wanting this sweet machine for the longest time! Have a very good mix of Wet and dry when u do it corrently. Doesnt sound too chorus.... If you know what i mean! This Machine here cost almost the same price as my Pod XT Live! Whooooo!

Cant wait to use this in Service in march!

Bills bills and more loans!!

Had been having sleepless night (just tonight)! Thinking why we are so tight up here in Singapore! Its all a part of the Government's plan to help Singaporean remain in a rat race. Well, we have an absolute awesome Government that plans and direct Singapore to what it is today. However, in such a fast pace economy, you find that everything else goes up i.e. food, petrol, GST except your salary! Its like today they announce fares up by 1cent and tml it happens. But when it comes to your salary, you will have the NWC national wage council meet here meet there.. talk and endless talk and yet no significant increase in your salary across the board! Y? I think our Union SAcks! Try what we do in Australia, the Unions make sure ur roof is off ur hourse the next day!

Well , You can't really get yourself off this hood call Loans! Let say for an average sporean like me! the moment you leave sec sch... you entered into adulthood! Bank loans for your polytechnic course or degree course?? sounds familar? then comes marriage? Home loans, Renovation loans would plague you dry dry!! As if thats not enough... come to your mid thirties.. you decided you want a MBA.... Woooo Education loans! And couple with that... you have to pay ur monthly hand phone bills, your petrol, car insurance, health insurance, road tax, ur mum's allowance, buy your kid's milk powder, Diapers, your kids education, kids allowance, kid's insurance, utility bills, PUB bills, property tax and income tax u pay every year, internet bills and occasional (what I call) "Carpet bombing season" your monthly dose of invitations to wedding, baby showers occasionally.... Think about it my friend! Can anyone survive with 3000 a mth??

OKay you may say who ask you to get married? who ask you to buy a car? who ask you to study so much? ...... My qns is can u afford not to do all this? If you work in the God forsaken place in the east and u stay in the west, can you stand a 4 hour ride to and flo ?ANd If you don't study, Can you keep up with a high chance of employability for today's Economy? Its a matter of CAN U AFFORD NOT TO! Not the other way round!

SO what's enough? There is no absolute! But I think for a family of 4, you need a household income of 10k a month in order to live comfortably. Retirement saving is factor into this account.

Its a battle between money and options! Thx for hearing my "bitches"!

Scramble Scramble Scramble!!!!

This Really Happen! Our Airforce is indeed effective! RSAF jets scramble to intercept civilian aircraft

Airspace shut down for 50 minutes after plane heads here without approved flight plan

By Teh Joo Lin & David Boey

SINGAPORE'S airspace was shut down temporarily last night when two air force F16 jets were scrambled to intercept a civilian plane heading here without an approved flight plan. The Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) fighter jets went into action at 6.42pm, said the Ministry of Defence (Mindef). They intercepted the single-engine turboprop Cessna 208 and escorted it to land at Changi Airport. The plane 'was heading towards Singapore airspace without an approved flight plan', said Mindef spokesman Darius Lim. Once the Cessna 208 landed, the police took over investigations. It is believed the civilian plane, which typically seats nine passengers, was flying in from the Thai resort island of Koh Samui when it triggered Singapore's air defences. The resulting shutdown of commercial airspace affected 23 aircraft, disrupting flights in and out of Changi Airport. The shut down lasted for 50 minutes from 7.10pm until 8pm, a Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore spokesman told The Straits Times. She added that 16 incoming flights and six departing aircraft were delayed for between 15 and 40 minutes each. One more inbound aircraft was diverted to Senai Airport in Johor. A passenger on the flight was 34-year-old business executive Philip Koh, who was flying in from Brunei. His flight was due to touch down at Changi Airport at 8pm, but just before its final approach, the pilot informed passengers that the plane could not land because of an 'interception due to unidentified aircraft'. The plane was diverted to Senai and stayed on the tarmac at the airport for about an hour, said Mr Koh. The plane finally arrived at Changi Airport at about 9.45pm. Contacted last night, Singapore Airlines said there were short delays to a few departing flights between 7.30pm and 8pm because the airline was waiting for take-off clearances. This is not the first time the air force has been called into action. In August 2003, two RSAF jets intercepted a Portuguese-registered civilian aircraft that breached Singapore's airspace. The pilot, whose plane had run into electrical problems, tried to land at Tengah Airbase before two A4 Skyhawks were scrambled alongside it. Under escort, the Cessna plane later landed safely at Seletar Airport. The 61-year-old pilot was questioned by the police before he was released. Aviation experts said that following the Sept 11, 2001, attacks, the RSAF operates an enhanced air defence against airborne terrorist threats, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Air forces the world over have been wary of copycat attacks by terrorists commandeering planes as 'guided missiles'. Colonel Lim said: 'The RSAF continues to maintain a high state of readiness.'
