The cost of happy citizenship

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009

Over the weekend, I came across a tool to measure soil at Ground-Up Initiative

4-Way Analyzer for Soil

It seems to be a rapitest® Electronic 4-Way Analyzer

facebook is developing something similar for people..

facebook blog: How Happy Are We?

How happy will all of us be tomorrow, on our birthdays or during the World Cup? It depends on you and what you decide to share about how you’re feeling with your friends through your status updates.

me: If a tree falls in the woods and there is no one there to hear it, is there a sound at all…

Web Standards Group Singapore: Summary of Gov 2.0 Presentation

citizen defined : anyone who has thrown their lot in with us

People who look at Singapore simply as a stepping stone or springboard need not apply.

we all need to see that ultimately, a country is defined not by efficiency of governance, but the quality of her people.

me: nominate this article for ica.gov.sg

eaves.ca: closed border, closed economy, closing opportunities

me: mmm…

A closed border is like a closed mind – over time you become less receptive to new ideas or information and begin to atrophy

change.org : Changemakers

The Changemakers initiative aims to identify the leading activists, elected officials, authors, bloggers, actors and thought leaders who have the greatest capacity to spark change on issues of importance.

Egg Industry and Whole Earth Singapore

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009

Emirates’ ad “When was the last time you did something for the first time?” is one of my favorite phrases

Today, I had lunch at Whole Earth located at 76, Peck Seah Street, near the Tanjong Pagar MRT station Exit A

Open daily : 11:30am to 3:00pm and 5:30pm to 9:00pm

No: Eggs or Leek or Garlic

btw – came across a page via @stevepavlina about the egg industry

Now.. Steve has even written a blog post Modern-Day Nazis and provides 4 options

..

IF you are interested in some serious egg related truth

THEN click on the following link and watch the video – Warning for mature audiences only !

SGD9 Passport Collection Service Charge

Tuesday, February 3rd, 2009

There has been a change at The High Commission of India in Singapore Passport Services

The High Commission of India has decided to outsource passport collection in Singapore with effect from 22nd January 2009.

S$9/- per application would be charged by Passport Collection Center as service charges in addition to prescribed passport services fee.

Before the change, there were officers at the High Comm who were collecting the passports. The service fees was being used to compensate the officers’ collection work.

What are they doing now? The service fees should be used to pay the outsourcing agents now!

Why should the citizens pay extra SGD9

Am looking forward for clarifications

Bought an iPhone in Singapore from SingTel

Wanted to experience the sound quality.. and Pressed iPod

Pressed iTunes

-> Cannot Connect to the iTunes Store – The iTunes Store is not supported in this country.

Is it too much from Apple to show only icons of apps that work in Singapore

The camera feature works

Am still searching for the option to record videos?

Still wondering if I upgraded or downgraded from Nokia N95 8GB to Apple iPhone 3G..
