Tsunami watches are also out for Yap, the Philipines, the Marshall Islands, Belau, Midway Island, Pohnpei, Chuuk, Kosrae, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Nauru, the Johnston Islands, the Solomon Islands, Kiribati and Hawaii. Airports across the Western Pacific are likely to be affected, as the geography of the coastline and islands of the Pacific mean that airports tend to be built towards the coastline. Initially reported as a magnitude 7.3 earthquake, the United States Geological Survey has hiked the reported magnitude to 8.9. After such a massive earthquake, tsunami warnings spread out across the Pacific

There was a old style kopi shop near the JB custom for lorry where the beef noodles is very famous. It is run by a old couple. MYR 7 per bowl. There is also a Duck noodle stall too. It seems both these stalls are no longer in the old kopi shop. Anyone knows where they have shifted to?

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/busines...how/8236343.cms "BANGALORE: Singapore has emerged as one of the world's largest hiring markets this year, and this offers opportunities for Indians. The country expects to hire over 3 lakh mid to senior professionals in 2011. Hiring firms say over 20% of this talent will be from India, 50% from within Singapore and the rest from other parts of the world. Zubin Shroff, partner in executive search firm Braithwaite Steiner Pretty, said Singaporean firms' requirement for talent had multiplied this year, with all markets in the region growing . "This is creating opportunities for many Indian professionals from across industries." Singapore is the regional headquarter for many American and European banks, financial institutions, manufacturing giants, oil & gas companies, large IT corporations , mining firms, healthcare and hospitality brands. These companies are now expanding rapidly in Singapore and across China, Indonesia , Malaysia, Hong Kong, Vietnam and Australia. Hiring firms say some 40% of the 3 lakh recruits will be placed in Singapore while the rest will go into other Asia Pacific regions. Jayanthi Y, chairman of hiring firm AdAstra Consultants , who is in-charge of talent acquisition for Apac, said, "Singapore today offers a never-before opportunity for Indian talent. Its proximity is an attractive element, while salary is the biggest attraction . Professionals receive 4 to 5 times what they are paid in India." Jobs are available particularly in banking, hospitality , technology, manufacturing , oil & gas, healthcare, mining and textiles. Global executives are attracted to Singapore for its high quality of life, congestion-free traffic movement, its safety standards. For Indians , the three-hour flying time and Singapore's assimilation of Indian culture are added attractions. Most companies operate out of economic zones where the maximum personal income tax is 15%. "My 12-year-old daughter travels 60 kilometres a day between home and her school in an hour. She has to catch a train for half the way and then change to a bus. But it doesn't bother her, nor does it bother my wife, or me. Because , this place is really safe," said Natarajan P, a professional with an MNC oil company who relocated to the country from Bangalore a year ago. Opportunity calling Jobs are available particularly in banking, hospitality, technology, manufacturing, oil & gas, healthcare, mining and textiles Singapore is the regional headquarter for many American and European banks, financial institutions, manufacturing giants, oil & gas companies, large IT corporations , mining firms, healthcare and hospitality brands" No wonder I still couldn't find a proper job.

Can't see the rational that older driver are penalized for such case, and I guess even if her car was banged from behind, the $2000 charges would have applied as well. ------------ Mon, Apr 20, 2009 AsiaOne AIG won't wave $2,000 charge because driver is old ONE evening last month, my husband and I were alerted by the police that my car was badly damaged by someone who had thrown something onto it. We checked our car in the HDB carpark and found the roof caved in and the rear windscreen smashed. We found a burst red balloon on the back seat of the car. Shattered glass and water were scattered inside and over the boot. The police photographed the damage and collected evidence. After we lodged a report, the police told us that the case, classified under "mischief", would be hard to investigate as there were common corridors above in the HDB block. Subsequently, I took my car to my insurer's AIG-approved workshop to file a claim and have the damage assessed and repaired. I was told to pay $550 in excess. But what shocked me was that I was told to pay $2,000 more because I was classified as an elderly driver. I appealed to the AIG officer on the phone to waive the $2,000 charge because I was not driving the car when the damage occurred. The car was vandalised while it was parked in an HDB car-park. READ MORE - When should senior citizens stop driving? AIG offered me the use of a car for 10 days but insisted that the excess fee of $2,000 could not be waived. I refused the offer and appealed again. My appeal was rejected. The AIG officer who dealt with my case told me that $2,000 charge could not be waived because I was old. Is this fair?

Just received this in my mail, pattern of the frozen ice resembles salmon.

waved to black spb on TPE to SLE on Monday hiya bro!

How to time traffic lights so that u don't have to stop at all? assuming u are going straight along major roads, e.g. bukit timah road. in HDB estates, this is relevant too.. but i can't seem to get it right many times.. cos i understand that the lights are programmed to allow smooth flow of traffic, i.e "green wave". some bro in another thread recommended 50-60km/h. that got me thinking...
