Running and Life: Singapore Park Connectors

I lead a sedentary lifestyle at work. Sitting and facing the computer whole day, I have developed quite a sedentary lifestyle. Coming back home after a stressful and hectic workday day after day, I am too tired for exercises these days: I have also been kept busy by my personal committments.
However, on Friday (just two days ago), I decided to jog once again. This time, I planned to jog on a completely different route via the park connectors! I jogged all the way from my home, via the parkconnectors to hit almost East Coast Park! It was an hour jog.  Along the way, very scenic and green environments embraced me as I jogged along the comfortable park connectors. Many families and friends were also having fun relaxing and interacting on the park connectors. Breezes help to elevate that comfortable and great feeling!

The Singapore park connectors is really an excellent project! With park connectors, one can really walk, cycle or jog from one end of the Singapore to another end! These park connectors also offer a reprieve for many Singaporeans from their hectic workstyles, a venue for interaction and a place to embrace nature. Singapore park connectors give Singaporeans an excellent place to work out and bond as one healthy and active citizen!

I am looking forward to jog on these park connectors again, and have enough stamina to jog from my house to East Coast Park. I am not sure whether these park connectors can lead me to the Marina Bay Sands! It would be great to end my jog from my house, looking at the scenic and show-stopping scenary of our Marina Bay area.

So, readers, if you are bored of shopping among the crowds every weekend, pick up your jogging shoes or bicycle and start your great jog along the park connectors today. You will feel refreshed and rejuvenated like me!

Vernon Leong Jun Wei

What happens to the 31 year old bride groom, Vernon Leong Jun Wei? As the news of this latest unnatural and bizzare death developed, it seemed that Vernon did not jump from the 24th storey of Hilton Hotel as was believed earlier. There were 3 video camera footages which might prove otherwises for the cause of Vernon's death. The first video footage showed Vernon at the 24th storey, making his way hurriedly into the fire escape staircase. The next video footage showed Vernon at the 2nd storey which also holds some shops and the final footage showed an unconscious Vernon motionless at the ground of the hotel. Vernon was cladded casually in a T-shirt and pants and have left his hotel room while his wife was taking a shower. It seemed that he might be escaping from something or somebody or that he might be chasing after something or somebody. What did Vernon see and experience at his last moments? The police is still investigating the case. It is really a very tragical and sad

Kampong Lorong Buangkok

Amidst the blazing afternoon sun today, my Dear and I made our way to Kampong Lorong Buangkok. The visit was a timely one as there is such a high buzz being generated over the last kampong in modern Singapore. After alighting from Bus 854 from Eunos, it was not difficult to find our way to the kampong. The entrance of the kampong was distinct as you could see from the picture: the 'ulu-ness' (rural charm) is evident from the attap-roofed buildings and more unkempt conditions. A signboard with hand-written text welcome my Dear and I to the last kampong in Singapore: As we entered the kampong, I spotted a middle-aged woman talking to an old man. I had seen the old woman before on TV. She was none other than the owner of the kampong land. In the documentary, I learnt that the whole kampong land was passed to her by her late father. She has kept the land and have not gone on to sell the land to the government. If she were to sell the land, she would be an instant multi-millionair

Performance Bonus

It is the time of the year civil servants receive their performance bonuses (PBs). In the coming two weeks, civil servants will not only receive their performance bonuses, special ‘growth bonuses’, would also await them for the very first time. These PBs and growth bonuses are only applicable to performers, defined as officers with assessed performance gradings above the ‘D’ grade. Typically, civil servants receive their performance bonuses in March, a 0.5 month of bonus in July and a 13th month plus AVC in December. Are all the bonuses good? To be frank, the bonuses dished out in Civil Service are averages at best. With the various bonuses being given out in these months: July, December and March, a civil servant who would like to quit would most likely try to find a ‘suitable’ month to quit so as not to forfeit his bonuses. The December bonus is generally the most generous portion. To quantify for this bonus, an officer would have to be in service till the end of January ne
