Micro-Blitz Join Forces !!!
My Current Formation
It was a tough fight to remain in Div 1 as people like Ace, HWARANG, Ashhunt, etc had been making my life hard in Free League. From Div 1, i lose all the way to Div 4. However, this morning, BlitzAce had sent me all his powerful gears, which my build had grown even stronger and after spending gold on Growth Viel Adv on most of my mercernaries, I was able to kick off some more irritating build along my way to Div 1.

Celebration after MST
Finally, my last paper ends at last friday. As suggested by my classmates, we went to Jack's Place for dinner as a celebration after exams. All of us did enjoy ourselves somehow i guess by talking rubbish. Haha ! One of the most memorable stuff is, my friend ordered Fire Steak. And it is served to him with the fire burning on the steak. Its so appealing that everyone were looking at our table.
These are some of the pictures of the dishes that we ordered:
The one below is the after effect of the Fire Steak. (My other classmate hate smoke :p)

Study Week
It been a bad night, where i have to visit the toilet very frequently due to stomachache. It also happened to have a additional class in the morning, but I couldn't attend. Therefore, stayed at home to do my web publishing and study Data Communication which it is tested two days later.
The above potato chips are my favourite snacks where I always eat them while playing computer games. I love the original and Sour Cream & Onion especially ! This is mainly the reason why I have tummy. :-(

Psychology - Arrogant Attitude
"Why does people like to be so arrogant? Can't they be humble? Whats so great about being arrogant?" These people simply don't get respect from people as they are the ones who just show a bit of achievement, can be so boastful and look down on others.
Because of such people who exists in this world, people who are on the humble side, will definitely take revenge and show back to them that they are as good or maybe even better than those people who claims themselves to be good or 'god'. As a result, people will often thinks that the humble people are showing off, but thats not the case. Its those people who provoke them first and humble people are showing them and proving their stupid attitude. Often, these arrogant people will keep quiet and don't admit their mistakes when they lose out.
I personally also feel that those who achieve great success and stay humble are the ones that are able to be respected by many others and will be a successful person in the near future. If 'children' thinks that by getting good grades means successful in life, they are terribly wrong. Please do some research on life experiences before talking 'big'.
"Stop being arrogant, arrogant people won't go far. Its the life experiences, the proper and fair way of managing things in a correct way that counts."
Statistics shows that more guys than girls are behaving this way. During the working life, these are the ones who always backstab and join in office politics. They have high ego and can't manage failure easily.

True Cases Happened !
Got this from a close friend. These are scary tactics, take time to read them who knows it might happen to u or someone close to you. Its never too late to be safe den sorry =)
NEW TACTICS:
Someone shared the following cases :
(1) Today I passed by a building which has an ATM machine. There was an old man looking at me. Suddenly, he called me. He said he didn't know how to read, so he gave me his ATM card and asked me to help him withdraw money from the ATM machine. I answered 'NO'!! If you need help, ask the security to help you. Then he said 'nevermind..' and continued to find other people to help him...
REMEMBER : ATM machines have CCTVs. If you help him he will later claim> that you have robbed him or stolen his ATM card. Besides, his ATM card could be a stolen one. So please be careful of these tactics.
(2) Suddenly your house lights go off. From your window you find that your neighbours still have lights. So you go out of your house to check the Meter Box. But once you open the door, a knife will be pointing at you and preventing you from closing it. This is when you will be robbed and injured robbed and injured.
REMEMBER : Even though your electricity suddenly goes off, DO NOT open your door immediately. Look around to see if there is anything unusual or if there is any noise around.
(3) This is another incident. You may have heard it before, it is about a lady who she saw a kid crying by the roadside. When she spoke to the kid, the kid told her he was lost and wanted her to take him home. The kid even gave her a paper with his house address. So she took him home. But when she rang the door bell, she had an electric shock. Later when she woke up, she was naked in an empty room.
REMEMBER : Being such a compassionate and helpful person might not be a good thing these days. Pass this on and girls, please be careful.. DON'T BE TOO KIND!!
(4) One day, there was an old lady outside my house holding 2 packets of sweets. At first I thought she was our neighbour and wanted to give us these packs of sweets as a gift. But then when she spoke, I can realised that she is was foreigner. I could not understand what she was talking about. I guessed she must be asking for money.I sensed there was something wrong and immediately closed the door and ignored her. Later, I found she and an accomplice robbed someone else down the road.
(5) I was at the ATM machine to withdraw some money. Behind me, there was an old lady. She asked me whether I was able to withdraw my money because she said she had problem with her machine. Suddenly a small girl came up beside me. The small girl was squeezing infront of me. I thought she was just naughty and playful. But then, the small girl put her hand at the tray of the ATM machine where the money comes out, ready to take away my money. I sensed something wrong and immediately pushed her away. Later I realised that the small girl and the old lady worked together. She was trying to steal my money while the old lady was trying to distract my attention by asking me questions!!
REMEMBER: BE VERY CAREFUL when you are at an ATM machine and be alert. Look out for anyone suspicious around you!
(6) My parents are retired and stay at home most days. One afternoon, a young stranger went to their house and said his motorcycle had no more petrol and the petrol station was too far for him to push his bike there. So he asked my parents for an empty coke bottle to buy some petrol. He said he will pay RM2 for the bottle. So my mum took one coke bottle for him. He really took out the money from his pocket, but it was a RM 100 note. He told my mum he had no small change and asked my mum to give him the change. Luckily my mum was smart. She just told him to take it for free.
REMEMBER : obviously that note is fake!! Who would want to pay for RM2 for an empty coke bottle!! It's very OBVIOUS that that stranger is a trickster.
(7) this happened in Bali . A newly married couple were having their honeymoon at the hotel. When both are in the changing room, the wife suddenly went missing. The husband was very anxious and went around to find her. He asked the hotel staff to help him find her. Then he thought his wife was just playing hide and seek. So he went back and waited for his wife. After a few hours, he decided to call the police. 3 weeks passed and there was still no news about his missing wife. So he went back and was very dissapointed and sad. A few years later, he came back to Bali , to watch a 'FREAK SHOW' in an old house. He saw a dirty and rusty metal cage. Inside there was a lady without limbs. Her body including the face was full of scars. When he had a closer look at her face, he was shocked to find that it was her missing wife put there as a means for begging.
(8) This happened in Shanghai. A few years ago, a lady reported to the police that her cousin sister was missing in the shopping complex. But after 5 years, one of her friends found her cousin sister begging at the road side one of the streets in Bangkok, Thailand . The worst thing is that her cousin sister has no more limbs and her body was tied to a lamp post with a shackle (metal chain).
(9) Let's just shorten this story. DO NOT open your house door when you hear the sound of a BABY CRYING!! It might be a trap! Women in the house> must be alert to this trick. The police said it is the work of a robber or murderer using the recording of a baby crying to attract your attention. This normally happens at night and when you are alone in the house.
(10) I read an email that was sent by my friend. Her friend, known as A, went to Luo Hu Commercial City with 2 friends, B and C. Luo Hu Commercial City is the Shenzhen counterfeit goods distribution center. There are many people there. It's also near to the ShenZhen train station and Hong Kong's Luo Hu Port. C went to the toilet at the shpping centre while A and B waited outside. After waiting for a long, time they felt uneasy and went into the toilet to look for her. When they went in, there was nobody inside. Both were scared and they called C's phone. There was no reply. So they reported to the police. The police asked them whether they had seen anyboby suspicious going into the toilet. Both said there were none and its impossible to bring a life person out of the> toilet without them noticing! Then A remembered seeing a cleaner pushing a trolley in, and then coming out. The police told them that was not the 1st time such a thing happened. The police suspected a gang of criminals who were always attacking women in the the toilet of shopping complexes. They use cleaners to kidnap people to harvest their organs for sale.
REMEMBER : please be careful when using the toilet. Do not go to the wash room or toilet ALONE!! Please at least have a partner with you.

The Power Of Axes - Atlantica Online
I can say that Hero Zhu Rong have the best Physical Attack in the overall 'C' class category. Being an axe, she is able to attack an entire row, which she is able not to deal high physical attack, but also increase combo of the enemies !
Having said that Hero Zhu Rong is great, Viking is another Axe Mercernary, who are able to attack a row also. However, Viking have the least most overall stats. Being weak in physical defense, magic defense, dex attack rate and just moderate attack, but have the one of the most vit (high HP), most players uses it purely to freeze opponents. For me, I think that Viking can be a good attacker other than freezing. Just have to give it at least a +7 rings that boast dex and good weapon. It can be as good. Don't forget, Viking is only a class 'D' mercernary, so don't compare it with Hero Zhu Rong :P

Mobile Broadband
In order to minimise the down period of my internet connection, I decided to get myself a Mobile Broadband where I could use unlimited internet connection almost anytime and anywhere.
As stated above, I had applied for the MaxMobile Surflite which is costing $38.72 a month. However, there is a promotion going on, so managed to apply and just have to pay $27.10 for it every month, saving $11.62 each month for a period of 2 years contract.

Blog Objective Changed
Wow, its been a long time ever since I last posted in my blog. As reference from the above title, and due to no more slacking mode, I decided not to updated everyday, but will of course update my blog quite frequently at least twice a week.
My first week of school had finally passed, and oh no, modules are getting more difficult. Most of the lecturers who taught my class were not as good as expected, especially Data Communication and Maths. However, my first week of school was quite enjoyable as my classmates were more bonded to each other, though there were still groups formed in the class.
As for Atlantica Online, yaya, I know that I had been "addicted" to it lately, which resulted in lacking of sleep and "chionging" the game with BlitzAce (my classmate who all of you know) till around 1am or 2am everyday. 1st week had passed and 7 more weeks to MST. Time is running fast. This is the first Christmas where I will feel extremely stressed ! (Expected)

Just my day...
Bad luck today. I had recently bought myself a betting ticket on Home United Vs Geylang United. I bought $5 on Home United winning Geylang United and I will collect $14 if I win. Earlier, I was taking a lift at Katong Shopping Centre and holding my ticket to show my brother. I was damn unlucky to drop my ticket into the lift opening and down to the lift gap. As I do not know the results yet, i was praying hard that I should not win. But after reaching home to check, I won myself $14. (O_o)

Money Disappeared Out Of Nowhere !!
Damn ! I had just lost my S$50 note in my house and could not be found ! Sigh... Just put it on my table and went for dinner. When I went back into my room, its gone.
Had been playing Atlantica since thursday in order to keep myself busy. Its just too addictive that I have no time to post in my blog. However, I still did.
Yesterday, the F1 race is the first launched in Singapore. However, no big deal for me as I'm not too interested with it. Today my dad will be deep frying french fries and chicken nuggets in large quantity. Yeah, so will be watching tonight's F1 race with saloon cars.

FairPrice Plus Savings Account
After being with POSB Bank for 15 years, I feel that their interest are so low all the while, despite of the increased GST and inflation. Even with the recent years, they even charge $2 a month for those who have below $500 in their account.
Therefore after looking around, I found that FairPrice Plus Savings Account is actually worthwhile to have, as they do not incur any surcharge and is 1% p.a as compared to other savings account. Planning to get one. :-)

Is Bluetooth Headset harmful to us?
It is a matter of concern for some people that the carrier waves used by Bluetooth´s transmitters use the same frequency range as microwave owens (Bluetooth uses 2.402 GHz to 2.480 GHz). What does it feel like to get in the path of such waves? Actually, the transmitting power is far too weak to be noticeable for humans. Moreover, the radiation is not concentrated in a beam, but dispersed more or less in all directions. When using a wireless phone or a Bluetooth device, some of the emitted RF energy is absorbed by the body. The penetration depth is about 1.5 cm at 2450 MHz (about 2.5 cm at 900 MHz), which means that the absorption is very superficial. The main absorption mechanism is fieldinduced rotation of polar molecules (for example H2O), which generates heat through molecular "friction".
Heating by means of radio frequencies is possible over a broad frequency range. This is taken advantage of in microwave ovens at 2450 MHz using very high power levels (up to 1,000,000 times the power used by Bluetooth devices). However, 2450 MHz is not a resonance frequency of water. But does exposure to Bluetooth RF emission heat the human body? No it does not. The output power of a Bluetooth-enabled device is far too low to cause any detectable temperature increase. Again, in comparison, the maximum increase from handheld cellular phones is less than 0.1°C.There is, however, another side to this; some people are demonstrably over-sensitive to electromagnetic radiations. Long exposure to strong fields make some individuals so sensitive, after a few years, that they can no longer be near such fields without considerable discomfort. Bluetooth fits into a general development pattern where antennas for GSM-transmission and other sources of electromagnetic radiations become more and more prevalent in our cities.
Therefore in all, bluetooth headset does not cause much harm to our body. There is very low risk and it is safe for use.

Home Based Typist / Data Entry
Kindly click on the above image to read the text.
I saw this Home Based Typist / Data Entry on the forum and wondered if it is serious or not? So I email and ask for details and got this reply. I was told to pay $20 first, to start processing the orders. If anyone had ever tried this, please let me know whether it is a scam or not. Thanks !

Working & Play Arcade
As usual, work and move computers. Nothing much to talk about the job here. After work, went to suntec and got myself a pair of jeans. Though I don't really like to go arcade, but didn't know that playing in arcade can be very addictive, especially the stackers machine at Suntec. I spent $20 on it, because I really wished to get that Playstation 3 ! Really feel like playing more, but $20 was really my maximum limit. But i think the machine is really bluffing people at the last stage. Really impossible to determine the correct time to hit. Argh ! But was indeed a fun experiences to release stress that I have all the while.

PSP-3000
Sony officially unveiled the third generation PSP with a PS button, built-in mic and an improved LCD screen. Compared to the PSP-2000, the new 3000 model has twice the color gamut, five times the contrast ratio and, what we're most excited about, a response time that's twice as fast. Also you can expect an improved screen that's better outside with no glare.

Sleep disturbed by shares
Didn't had a good sleep this morning. Woke up due to the television set outside my living room, where my parents turn on Channel Newsasia. Then it reported that many shares had gone down ! So I was half asleep and halfway listening to my parents' conversation talking about the shares.
After a while later, I woke up and turn on my computer to surf the internet. Wah liao ! Forums and news everywhere also talking about the shares. Saw someone posting when to start picking up the cheap share, so another person said to wait until somebody start jumping off the building before buying it. LOL ! (A man's lost is another man's gain.)

Typical Behaviour of playing Stocks
Its like the same as waiting for a bus. When you want to wait for a specific bus, the bus take a long time to arrive. When you feel like buying something at a nearby provision shop, your bus comes and ended up missing it.

Long John Silver is selling CHICKEN RICE !!
In terms of budget and taste wise, which one will you prefer? For me, I will choose the traditional Chicken Rice rather than LJS's Chicken Rice. First of all, LJS's Chicken Rice will not be enough and its expensive. The traditional chicken rice costs about $2-$3 a plate.

Lunch @ Katong Shopping Centre
Just went to Katong Shopping Centre and ate at my favourite Western Stall. As usual, I ate Chicken Cutlet Rice. It had French Fries, Coleslaw, Baked Beans, decent amount of chicken cutlet and rice with their special sauce which cost just only $4.50. Its simply delicious and the serving was great ! I would rate it as the Best Western Food in all coffee shop in Singapore ! Botak Jones used to be good, but now its getting more worst and worst. Botak Jones' serving was like for xiao mei mei.
On the way home, passing by parkway central, I decided to go into the nearby friendly shop to look around. The softwares and games were really outdated ! Wasted my time ! I was still hoping to find some new software or games. So didn't buy anything at all and headed home.
Just received a msg from the boss of Bioslab, this coming saturday, got to work le. Though the pay was good at S$10 per hour, but its really stressful and tedious to work in. But being manipulated by the money, I need to earn as much as possible, after all, for me, weekend had always been bored for me.

Lack Of Patriotism
Well, if the people don't know, let me tell you, it quoted as not many foreigners were staying in HDB flats. Ya right, i think this article was referring to those highly educated ang-mo ! What about those from Ch*** or In***? Make a trip down to Boon Lay MRT and look around ! Its more foreigners than Singaporeans !! Not only in Boon Lay MRT, they were everywhere ! I, myself did put up the Singapore Flag to show my patriotism. If the foreigners wrote such article on the newspaper in the first place, banned HDB flat for foreigners, don't ever let them stay in flats, let them buy private apartment or stay in hotels !
Don't blame foreigners for fewer flags this yearSource Taken: http://www.straitstimes.com/ST%2BForum/Story/STIStory_270894.html
I REFER to the letter, 'Lack of patriotism' (Aug 9), where Mr Chua Sheng Yang rightly pointed out the absence of flags displayed in the Housing Board estates compared to past years. This has been noticed by many of my friends and colleagues as well. Let me, however, assure Mr Chua that the absence of the flags is not due to the influx of foreign talent.
First, not many foreign talent live in HDB estates. Most of them live in private condominiums. And, you may be surprised to note that more flags were seen in condominiums than in the past. I'm a permanent resident, proud to live here and I have been proudly displaying the national flag for the past two years. In contrast, I know of a few Singaporean friends who have stopped displaying the flags, and tell me, 'why bother'?
My feeling is that Singaporeans are taking things for granted. People of today's
generation have no idea what it takes to survive in other countries as they have
grown up with the basic amenities in place.
They are becoming materialistic and self-centred. An example can be seen in the ensuing debate of raising a child and the perks required to start a family.
The way things are going, it will not be a surprise if young, newly-wed couples ask for Government perks before having sex.
Starting a family is not only a personal decision, but also a matter of love and caring, sharing of affection and warmth. It is not about the financial package given by the Government. If that were the case, the world population would decline. Governments of countries with large populations, which are largely poor, do not need to hand out financial packages to encourage their citizens to start a family.
Last but not the least, if the nation is facing a grave problem, then the citizens, who are stakeholders, should come to the rescue. Isn't it time for Singaporeans to stand
up and be counted, and at least have children for the sake of the nation? Or perhaps, they want the foreign talent to do it for them. If Singaporeans have enough children, they will surely be the best of talents.

New e-payment system and next generation card for public transit
Say bye bye to Ez-link Cards next year !!
All EZ-Link cards, the stored-value cards used to pay for train and bus rides will be phased out starting next year. Starting August 29, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) is piloting a trial of its next-generation smart cards which can be used across systems. The new cards look just like the current EZ-Link cards. But the difference is the markings on the card which shows that it can be used for multiple applications like car park or ERP payments or even to pay for shopping. Currently, public transport commuters use the EZ-Link card to pay for their fares and drivers would use a CashCard to pay for Electronic Road Pricing rates. Lim Bok Ngam, deputy chief executive, Infrastructure & Development, LTA, said: "Under today's system, public transport and the non-public transport are two separate sectors. So those who take public transport make use of EZ-Link Card and those who drive for ERP make use of Nets CashCard. "Going forward, we want to develop a system whereby one card can be used across all the systems which means transit and non-transit. Also we want to introduce competition so hopefully bring down the cost for commuters." Commuters now pay S$5 for EZ-Link cards without any stored-value. The new smart card also does not require a S$3 deposit. Currently the EZ-Link card has a S$3 travel deposit which is not shown as the card balance. The S$3 value is locked in as a travel deposit and can only be used for travel on trains and buses. But those with the new card will not be able to use it at merchants which currently offer payment by EZ-Link, unless these merchants upgrade their card readers. The LTA is pumping in about S$100 million to develop the new system. These include the upgrading of the card readers at trains and buses as well as the printing of the new cepas-compliant cards. There are now about 10 million EZ-Link cards issued. Half of them are active of which some 2.5 million are regularly in use. Mr Lim said: "All these are commercial decisions to be made by the card issuers so if they want to compete in the market and they want to ensure that their cards are widely used for all sectors, then I think they have to build up their business model." There are currently two card issuers in Singapore .They are EZ-Link and Nets. LTA said the new system can support up to four card issuers in the market. Some 10,000 commuters will be involved in the two-month trial of the new smart cards which are Contactless ePurse Application or Cepas compliant. Details of the replacement exercise will be announced later in the year. With the new Cepas-compliant card, the CashCard is not needed if a vehicle is fitted with the second generation IU. All new cars will be fitted with the second Generation IUs from next year. Meanwhile, new motorcycles will come with the new IUs from end August 2008.

My Experiences
After using my N95 8GB for nearly seven months, I had started to develop feelings with it. In my first five months of usage, i really utilised it a lot ! It helps me in my work, as in snapping shots of certain places for corporate planning. I even used it in a official corporate retreat to video the whole process for important discussion sections. I was amazed with the quality as i often compared with the company's digital camera. My phone performs way more powerful than the digital camera. :-) The 3.5mm Earphone jack was cool as it allow me to plug my favourite branded earpiece to listen to my favourite songs. No more sticking to Nokia's own earpiece. :-) Its big screen of 2.8" was great for viewing pictures and videos ! Battery life wise was also very cool, as I played with it alot and as a multi functional phone, it could lasts for two full days with a single charge. Tried the TV-out functionality, however I don't really see the need of using it. Played with the GPS during the trial period, it was somewhat not very user-friendly, but I doubt I would use the GPS function anyway. The only disadvantage that i dislike of the phone was that there was no protection for the camera lens. Being a high-end phone with good lens, I think they should include a cover just like the original N95. But overall, N95 8GB really serves me very well and till now, no other smartphones can be comparable with N95 8GB !

Irreversible Mistake Made Yesterday
Sigh.. Did a grave and stupid mistake that i couldn't forgive myself. To all who see this post don't ask me what happened, because I won't tell unless you are my great buddy. Purpose of posting it here is because I want to remind myself of yesterday. However, there is nothing I can do now. Life still goes on. Its really difficult to pick it up and move on like nothing had happened. I finally understand that how other people are feeling now..
I did my best to recover, but its impossible... Really got no mood today ! Time to work hard and increase my knowledge to fulfil my dreams.

For IT Working People
Some points to note for the IT Working people in Singapore
(1) People who code, administer or test will not survive. If you write/fix any kind of code or scripts or do any kind of testing at least once a day your job is in danger.
(2) People who are unable to create something from nothing will not survive. If you need a well-defined set of requirements and design before you can do your work, your job is in danger. If you need someone else to take some vague problem from the customer/boss and come up with a solution that you can implement, your job is in danger. If, however, you invent solutions, you will be fine.
(3) People with inability to solve problems will not survive. This goes to general smartness/intelligence. If you are the kind who can use a cool-head and solve most of problems (job-related or not) through a combination of steps such as keeping a cool head, knowing what to do, who to approach etc, you will be fine. Many problems are tough but you would be surprised to see many people give up before they even take a stab at the easy ones. As an example: Here is a problem given to you by a customer: "Size the work effort that you personally will require to install DB2 on my AS400 box" Bad answer: We are a C++ coding shop. We dont do DB2 admin. We dont know how to size this.Good answer: 6 months (cuz we have to learn all the **** first)
(4) People who will survive are those who can talk to customers to elicit business requirements, design tecnhnical solutions and coordinate project activities - not people who know how to change a config file to get Linux to play mp3 files.
(5) Good-looking people who can talk with management and customers in a confident non-geeky way in perfect English will survive.
(6) If you can relate well with people and can get them to do favors for you, you will survive. If you are the type of person who ends up leading meetings and discussions, you will survive.
(7) If your job is in IT but deals with some kind of calculation involving dollars at least once a day, you will survive.

MSN Hotmail
People had been circulating this email message around to all hotmail users. First of all, I think this is totally scam ! Look at it. There is spelling mistake and I think Microsoft wouldn’t be asking people to send such dumb messages among all users to notify them of closing their hotmail accounts. This is basically an idea of a spammer who wants to collect email address from as many people as possible so as to carry on their illegal stuffs. Can't imagine why hotmail users didn't think of the purpose of this before sending it out.

Government to give out S$256m more in benefits to Singaporeans
The average Singapore household will receive an extra S$250 to S$330 following the additional support package announced by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong at the National Day Rally on Sunday night.
This is on top of the benefits they are already receiving to help them cope with inflation and higher living costs.
Details of the additional support package were released by the Ministry of Finance on Monday.
The enhancements comprise a 50 per cent increase in the remaining instalment of Growth Dividends which is scheduled for payout on October 1, as well as a 50 per cent increase in Utilities—Save (U—Save) rebates given out.
Lower and middle—income groups, as well as senior citizens, can expect more in Growth Dividends.
For example, a person living in a one, two, or three room flat who received S$200 in the first round of payout will receive S$300 in October.
Overall, most Singaporeans living in public housing households will receive between S$75 and S$150 more as a result of the enhancement.
The enhanced Growth Dividends will cost the government an additional S$190 million.
As for the increase in Utilities—Save or U—Save rebates, this will range from an additional S$40 to S$110 depending on the HDB flat size.
A low—income family with elderly members living in a three—room flat could receive an additional S$500, bringing their total benefits this year to over S$5,400.
A typical middle—income family living in a five—room HDB flat could receive benefits of about S$3,880.
These additional U—Save rebates will cost the government S$66 million.
Altogether, the government will be distributing an additional support package amounting to S$256 million.
More details are available on the Ministry of Finance’s website.

Marks & Spencer and My Toy Car
Bought the above Organic biscuits for my mum and my friend respectively.
Bought this toy car for myself. Want to find bigger and the model that I want, but the salesgirl said that Tomy didn't provide stock for Isetan to sell. So too bad, bought this instead, as I like Mitsubishi Lancer Cars. :-)
