Meanwhile, our neighbours across the sea is celebrating Chinese New Year, just like us! The catch? A fish maybe?
The (super) loose translation on the left means ‘every year have fish’. The actual proverb in Chinese probably does not even come close to what was mentioned, but bonus points to them for trying!

Some of you may remember this girl, who became an internet sensation in 2016. Her video had close to a 1000 shares and more that 23,000 views. In her video, she was singing alongside her family members to support her father who was a kavadi bearer.
Allow me to bring to your attention what happened at this year’s Thaipusam, 31 January 2018. Like every other year, Vaishnavi (the girl in the video) was singing hymns and supporting her father along Serangoon Road and Selegie Road when, a HEB member, and a police officer stopped our kavadi and accused us of singing too loudly. Not only did they disrupt our procession, they surrounded our kavadi and started taking a video of each and every family member and supporter of our kavadi.
This two officers followed us for a good 30 minutes while we were singing and trying our very best to ignore the fact that we were being filmed for no apparent reason. This caused Vaishnavi and every one with the kavadi much distress and completely ruined everyone’s mood.
Needless to say, were appalled by the authority’s behaviour as we were only singing hymns and in no way a nuisance. We are also well aware there were a few HDB blocks around and were keeping our volume down.

A video circulating online shows the BMW blocking a 2 lane traffic just because he could not park his vehicle properly.
The video shows that the bus, full of passengers, using the horn to tell the driver to get out of the way. The driver was quite aggressive, going out of his car and ranting to the bus driver. Is this the correct behaviour?
This goes to show that you can buy the flashiest or most expensive of cars, but if you have no proper etiquette, you will get flamed.

#Flyscoot airline – total disappointment! You failed in understanding your customer and dont even have a sense of empathy. Which airline in the world that dont give back the customer’s own wheelchair upon plane arrival,
Instead you ask your old customer to walk or maybe crawl on long way in the airport to claim their own excess baggage while you want to charge SGD70 for providing airport wheelchair while we bring our own wheelchair on board?? Ridiculous company policy and im wondering who is behind all this?
Must be someone that dont even have any sense of humanity.
We went to the newly opened Air Zone at City Square Mall. I was afraid of heights. But my boy wanted to play. So I just went ahead. I thought the ball pit was the safest place of the 3 storey structure. But I was so wrong.
Not long into the play, I lost my balance in the ball pit and fell backwards. I could not reach the bottom and I could not stand up. I tried to roll over, I couldn’t. I tried to find the net so I could grip it, I couldn’t. My son was stuck inside too. I panicked and waved and screamed for help. None came. I seriously panicked and did not know what to do. (My helper stoped the video when she realised something was wrong and shouted for help too but none came)
I finally grabbed someone’s hand and managed to stabilise myself and stood up. And thereafter I pulled out my son, and 2 other kids: a boy and a girl. It was then the staff came by to help me drag the kids out of the balls before I climbed out. The kids all went in alone. They were about 6-8 years old. The girl was crying and I think she went out after the incident.
Looking at the video which my helper had taken with the intention of taking us playing, there were about 4 heads under the pool of balls. At the side there was an adult pulling out another kid.
Yes it was a nasty experience for me. I’m not going into the ball pit anymore. 😆however, I will not stop my kids from playing there. But I will ensure an adult (my hubs) goes in with him.
What’s the message I’m trying to bring across with this post? There is a certain level of danger in the playground and there is only so much the staff there can do. I appeal for you to go in with your kids. The more adults there is inside, you can help watch out for other kids. Just for info, the balls were up to about my armpits when I’m standing, and I’m 1.72m tall. Yes. Well yes it was fun, just not entirely suitable for young kids. Adult supervision needed. Lots of it. 🙂
A photo circulating online shows a deer, slowly dying by the roadside along Mandai Road.
While we are not unfamiliar with the concept of animals getting hit by vehicles (accidentally of course), we have not seen something this large. The deer was seen to be in pain before hitting it’s final moments, lying on the grass patch with it’s mouth bleeding.
We know that the person who took this photo has contacted ACRES (Animal Concerns Research & Education Society, who also does wildlife rescue) and that the case has been handed to NEA. The culprit who hit this animal has not been found.
This is not the first case of a wild animal being hit by vehicles in Singapore. Over the last few years, we have seen roadkill such as wild boars and monkeys.
The Police are appealing for information on the whereabouts of 69-year-old Mr Lee Boon Tai, who was last seen at Blk 408 Sembawang Drive on 3 February 2018 at about 12.30pm.
Anyone with information is requested to call the Police Hotline at 1800-255-0000 or submit information online at www.police.gov.sg/iWitness. All information will be kept strictly confidential.
