Anyone knows where can I go to learn more advanced driving skills? Control car during skidding, wet road condition...etc Not sure what is the scope of BMW and Mercedes's driving courses. Anybody has attended those and what is your feedback? Else are they any other/better alternatives?

as an old man, I am keen to re skill and re learn to be prepared for the possible disruption in my job. Anyone here have taken the opportunity the govt has provided in terms of Cybersecurity and is there a list of the organisation that is keen to soak up the graduate after taking the course?

Very cool drifting skills.............wonders will there ever be a drifting motorcycle sport scene in future. Cheaper equipment.....but accidents more fatal.

Hi, I work as a Senior Operations Analyst of an IT Data Center Operations Division. I just want to share an experience of our firm with the recent team building we had in an open area. The weather was not that good that time but we still had a very successful one. The reason why? It is because we trusted a developer that could help us achieve the best learning exercises in a very enjoyable and effective way.We had exciting activities & games. It's even a great adventure for all of us to work as a group. How about you? At some point, you've probably been involved in a team building similar to what we had. Any remarkable experience?

Seems fun and challenging...wonder if locals will have similar reality shows? I know there are many good skill drivers out there hiding somewhere... First episode is a chio XMM (though married with a 3mth old baby liao )...but her skills think even most professional drivers can't do that...maneuvering on 2 wheels for more than 2 minutes... btw anyone know whats the brand of the car?

[laugh] From ST Forum: http://www.straitstimes.com/premium/forum-...kplace-20130408 Recognise skills learnt in NS at the workplace Published on Apr 08, 2013 MANY interesting ideas were put forward to change the perception of national service (NS) being a liability rather than an asset ("Getting back that NS feeling"; March 23). The top suggestion should be to recognise the skills acquired by full-time national servicemen during their training. Even the roles of non-combat NSFs as clerks, for example, should not be viewed as a form of compulsory cheap labour. Instead, the IT skills and work experience they acquire during their NS stints should be taken into consideration in the selection of applicants for government scholarships or civil service jobs. This is especially so for those who are recognised by their supervisors for having commendable work attitudes. Similarly, for officers in the public service, the leadership skills they acquire during their training days should be noted when they are being considered for promotion. Simply giving NSmen pay increments is insufficient. By being recognised for their skills, NSmen will view their service as an advantage rather than a burden to be performed without a choice. This is especially so as there are significant disadvantages in devoting two years at the prime of one's life to NS. I hope the upcoming review will be fruitful and yield more positive attitudes towards serving NS. Yeo Boon Eng (Ms)

NS not only makes a Man out of a Boy but also a Live vs Dead Man. And He who lives to tell his tale is a blessed Man albeit his nakedness state. Man miraculously survives 4-storey fall from window Published on Jul 25, 2012 By Tham Yuen-C When army regular Jeremy Choo Jian Rong slipped on his bed and tumbled out of the window while changing the curtains in his room, his body instinctively assumed a position he had used often during military training. Body slightly curved and arms cradling his own head, he managed to land leg-down, four floors down. But the pain on impact knocked him out, and the former commando was found lying at the foot of his Fajar Road block. Besides having landed there in spectacular fashion, Mr Choo, 30, was also completely naked.

This is a TCSS for weekend thread. After watching so many TV serials and movies, I suspect that there are some skills all actors will learn in acting school. 1) The cliffhanger: Guy A falls off a cliff or tall building. Guy B leaps forward and grabs A's hand. Both hold on by the finger tips. 2) French kiss: Lead actor and actress lock lips after dramatic finale 3) Fainting: Usually the actress will get some shocking news and faint 4) Death speech: Hero / Villian will give speech (and sometimes cough blood) before up-lorry Anymore I forgot?

A 24-year-old polytechnic student was sentenced to jail for 13 years by Singapore's High Court on Friday after he was found guilty of raping a 13-year-old. Wang Jianbin had raped the teenager in her room while her brother was in the living room with his piano teacher. The former commando pleaded guilty to rape. One charge each of criminal intimidation and sexual assault were taken into consideration as well. High Court judge Chan Seng Onn also

To those who kena accidents or know of people in accidents. How often was it cause by 'LOUSY' tyres? Meaning if the car had better tyres, it would had stopped in time or would not aquaplaned or swerve the car without sliding to safety?

I believe many has seen the clip posted on youtube about this auntie "TAKING" a long time parking her Lexus RX 900???? It was really entertaining and I couldnt stop laughing listening to the guy KPKB in the background.Hence, it occurs to me that I have seen many P plated drivers driving big cars like MPV,CRV ,cammry etc etc .... am not sterotyping the particular gender butof such case many are woman. Talking about driving big expensive cars, not so often can see woman driving small car like piccanto,CHERRY QQ, etc etc.... They are rather picky about the ride too???? Maybe someone can share with me his/her views too cos it is onli my ten cent point of view. No offence worr. If one know his/her driving skills not there, dun buy bbig big cars especially when parking, it will post a greater chanllenge.

I can toss crumpled paper into the wastepaper basket from ranges of at least 3-4 metres. Yourselves?

In ancient times, when the world was a happier and more peaceful place, the old masters used to practise these skills. However, due to ego, ignorance and a descend to the dark side, the following skills have been lost to us. Maybe somewhere in a forgotten room in TP HQ, the manuals to these lost arts still exists and their rediscovery will one day bring light to our roads again. - Signalling - Giving way - Check blind spot - Small lane give way to big road - Stopping outside a yellow box - Merging lane - Waving thank you - Using a roundabout - Stopping without causing obstruction What other legendary driving skills have been buried by the sands of time?

In Singapore, during bad times, garmen will tell the people to upgrade their skill, but in the car industry, may be car thieves have skills upgrade for better career prospect too ??? ------------- IT SEEMS that even crime bosses understand the importance of skills upgrading. 17 March 2009 http://newpaper.asia1.com.sg/news/story/0,...,195974,00.html? IT SEEMS that even crime bosses understand the importance of skills upgrading. The New Sunday Times reported that car theft syndicates in Malaysia have been sending their members to Japan so that they can learn how to better disable car alarm systems. An police source told the paper: 'Japan is the country of choice because it is the home to some of the biggest car makers such as Toyota and Honda.' During the course, which usually lasts for about three months, the thieves can even specialise in specific skills. For example, one syndicate member may get in-depth lessons on disabling car alarms while another studies how to make duplicate keys or how to open steering locks. There are even those who specialise in breaking into a particular make of car. 'For example, one will be an expert on Toyota models while another focuses on Honda,' the source said. The syndicates reportedly send their members for these courses each time a new Japanese car is introduced into the market so that they can learn everything about the model. 'This is because orders from foreign buyers will come in for the new model and the syndicate wants to be prepared to meet the demand,' the source explained. These upgrading courses are just one of the ways car theft syndicates are evolving with the times, turning from small-time operators into sophisticated outfits with a global market. While the Malaysian syndicates previously sold stolen vehicles only to local workshops and criminals, they now have customers in countries such as the United Arab Emirates, Indonesia, Afghanistan, China, and even as far as South Africa. Apart from those who steal the cars, the racket now also involves brokers who match the syndicates with potential buyers overseas. Buyers would contact brokers in their country to put an 'order' for a specific make and model. These brokers will then contact their counterparts in Malaysia, who in turn will get the syndicates to steal the vehicle. Operate in pairs The police source said thieves often operate in pairs, scouting areas such as carparks and quiet roads. Once a car is found, one syndicate member will disable the alarm system while his partner breaks into the vehicle. They then take the car to have its registration plate changed and keys duplicated before dropping it off at a pre-arranged location, usually in a carpark of a condominium. The key is left on top of the car tyre or inside the glove compartment, and the broker is informed. In the next step, the broker pays a runner between RM500 ($224) and RM1,000 to drive the car to one of Malaysia's many ports. where it is put inside a shipping container, and sent to the client. Foreign buyers normally pay between US$2,700 ($4,000) and US$60,000 for a stolen vehicle. For example, a stolen Mercedes-Benz S350L, which costs nearly RM1 million ($450,000) in Malaysia, can be had for just RM217,000. The syndicate usually gets between RM2,000 and RM3,000 for each vehicle they steal. Apart from stealing cars, the syndicates now also provide value-added services such as altering the chassis number, duplicating car keys, and forging road tax discs and registration plates. Packages cost between RM2,000 and RM50,000, depending on the vehicle. To curb the rising incidence of such car thefts, Malaysia's National Vehicle Theft Reduction Council has been working on several initiatives. Deputy Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Ismail Omar, who heads the council, said: 'Currently, discussions are being held with various parties to examine the feasibility of offering discounts on insurance premiums to car owners if they install additional alarm systems. 'Several workshops are also being organised with representatives from state police contingents as part of the plan to crack down on car theft syndicates.'

Hello all, any tips to improve my driving skills? I have a few weaknesses i have identified myself.. For example, narrow roads, I sometimes afraid that my side will hit the other car so i will move slowly to go in but actually, i can go in at quite a decent speed without slowing down. I see other cars navigate through the hole like nothing. My vertical parking, most of the time cannot get straight.. Must move forward and adjust to get it straight.. But i have tried parking at those shopping centre car park, max time i take is 30s maybe because of the stress from the cars waiting?Another mistake is that i keep stepping on the lane markings now and then.. maybe cause wait the side of the car hit the barriers lol. And are there any big open areas where i can try emergency moves like e braking, handbrake turning without breaking the law?
