Views on Quan Yi Feng's case.

After reading the case, I must say that the mediacorp actress, Quan Yi Fong has indeed exaggerated in this incident. Even though the taxi driver didn't know the way to the airport, she should have direct him the way there and not scold the taxi driver, but it's true that it's partially the driver's fault as he should have known the way.

Furthermore, she shouldn't let her temper control her and caused a wreck in his car , and also taking his keys along with her when she boarded on another cab. What caused even more tension was that she had insulted his mother when scolding him. Why bring his mother into this in the first place?!

In summary, she's isn't a great role model as she has no self control and no anger management. Even she's a celebrity, she shouldn't have acted this way. What was worse was that she acted this way in front of her daughter, will her daughter act the same way she acted when she grows up? Maybe, because she's the mother and daughter always look up them.

Views on World Cup 2010

Although I dislike soccer, a lot. I realise that it feels different when you're playing soccer and when you're watching it. To me, it feels that watching soccer makes me more excited as I'll be cheering crazily for my favourite team/country hoping that they will win or even thrash the other team.

One thing I like about the world cup is that it brings a lot of interaction between people from different countries, different races together. Outside the field, soccer players from different countries will greet one another and exchange informations on their cultures to each other. Why are they able to click so well? They all have one passion, and that was football. In the field, though each and everyone of them will be able to put in their 100% in the game, they will be having fun at the same time as they know it's such a rare opportunity to challenge players from other countries. Furthermore, world cup happens once every four years! They have to treasure this opportunity. World cup not only brings soccers players from different countries together, it also bring fans who support the same country but they do not know one another. For example, at the coffee shop, soccer fans will gather in front of the television and when one of the team scores, you will be able to see half of the people in the coffee shop cheering and hugging the people beside each other.

The country that has benefited the most in this year World Cup 2010 is South Africa. As World cup is held over there, soccer players from all around the world had to gather there, and with soccer players around, there are bound to have fans following them whenever they go or even witness the soccer match. Hence, south Africa had a lot of tourist during that period. This has increase the government economy's as South africa was attracting a lot of tourism.

Spain was the overall championship for this year world cup and I was upset because I was a fan of Germany, so was my dad. But it's okay as Germany WILL be the winner for the world cup 2014 :D

Thoughts on Doctor Goh Keng Swee

After reading many articles on Doctor Goh K.S. , I've really gotta hand it to him. Without him, there won't be Singapore today, such as :
- The proper education system
- The Jurong Industrial Estate
- Underwater World Singapore
- Singapore Zoo
- Jurong Bird Park
- Singapore Symphony Orchestra
and many more.

He has raise the standard of living in Singapore tremendously and hence affecting positively on the quality of life of the Singaporeans. Without all those projects that he was responsible, Singapore's economy growth would not be as great compared to the previous years. I really look up to him as he's good in his academic since young which allows him to achieve the University of London scholarship and also his perseverance when he was almost fired from his job before he helped out Singapore in politics.

Pros and Cons of having NEWater

Advantages :

• Singapore would not be dependant for Malaysia for water anymore as Malaysia may threaten to terminate the contract in order to comprimise in their favour. And also, be independant.
• The design of NEWater is good because it saves space and is energy-efficient which means unesscessary money is wasted.
• It will be a good avenue for young singaporeans to be innovative in.
• NEWater can help other countries that have water shortages
• Other countries are learning and/or buying the NEWater's technology, which means NEWater will be able to make a profit

Disadvantages :

• Many singaporeans may not support NEWater because many aren't used to the water made my NEWater.
• The cost and materials required for NEWater's technology could be expensive
• The product of NEWater is costly.

Ionescu still has 'immunity'

In my opinion, I felt that Ionescu still has his immunity as Romania will definitely be bias towards it's own citizen, furthermore, someone who has a position in its country. Also, I think that both countries Singapore and Romania have different views regarding this case. Singapore may find this a big deal but Romania might not.

Ms Irene Ng Phek Hoong: Also given that Romania does not seem to share the same understanding as Singapore that Ionescu does not have diplomatic immunity, is there a higher international body that we can turn to resolve this?

Minister George Yeo: Legally speaking, there is no higher authority we can appeal to. Because of some disagreement or confusion over the interpretation of Article 39.2 of the Vienna Convention, the earlier Interpol Red Notice has been suspended.

Quoted from the article

From this conversation, I felt that Singapore is kind of at the losing end because there isn't any other parties that we can depend on regarding this matter. After reading a comment regarding this article, it says that Singapore should send a diplomatic note to complain to the European Union about the behaviour of the ex-diplomat as well as the subsequent behaviour of the Romanian government. But the question I'm asking this commentor is that, Romania is under Europe, will the European Union will take into consideration of what Singapore suggested? If they didn't take into consideration, wouldn't it be back to square 1 again?

RWS cashier accused of $10,000 theft

After reading this article, I felt that the overall people in charge of Resort World Sentosa (RWS) should focus more on their security. Though they have installed CCTVs in RWS, they shouldn't rely on those only. My suggestion is that they should have more security guards guarding the areas where money or high valued items are kept. If they do not wish to hire more people, they should at least be more cautious when it comes to employees using the cashier. For example, only the managers will have a master key or a password to operate the cashier to prevent thefts. This way, such events will not happen again. ^w^
