Just had 3 weeks in SriLanka and absolutely loved it! You have a large cultural area, tea plantations and highland forests/plains, great surfing and beaches and a nearly forgotten unexplored northern half of the country that is only just reopening to tourism. Lovely friendly people and great food to...

As the Cross Island and Jurong lines and stations have yet to be finalised yet it shouldn't be too hard to integrate one or both lines into the High speed plans.

We used SkyZone AirCon S$100 for 5 units. Although I agree with JR8, that it's a total con as we have had the A/C on twice in the 9 months we've lived here!

I can buy a citizen automatic that will keep time forever without battery. If I want to spend 10K on a watch I'd much rather buy a watch with the personal craftsmanship and cache that that kind of money will buy.

I don't really think it's a preemptive strike mentality, but more of a "I've seen too many of my colleagues w...

Came to our house packed up all our gear and were on their way in a little over 2 hours. Our shipping arrived about 10 weeks later safeand sound.( Packed on 14th June, delivered on 30th...

I've just been around the new Big Box mall at Jurong East today, they have a Habitat and down on the ground floor their own version of a COSTCO style shop; boy of which do good homeware and handy if you live nearby.

'Homegrown' in USA now available in vending machines in legalised States!

From what I've read/watched it seems a lot of the grief was due to the fact they couldn't play their drums due to them causing a public disturbance , yet for other religious festivals/public holidays celebrated in SG musical instruments, fireworks etc are welcome. Is this a sign of religious intoler...
