Random...

One of life's greatest tragedies is having a WRX offered to you on a plate but yet knowing that you can't accept it coz you are not earning enough to maintain it.

Higher road tax, higher insurance, higher petrol bill...

After all, it's not everyday that Santa comes knocking (nor would your father offer you everyday).

But after a good sleep, I am glad that I managed to control myself. Owning a car with my meagre salary is already not financially wise. Owning a turbo charged car is asking for trouble really. Especially with my impatient attitude on the road. Blah blah blah.

Actually, at the end of the day, I am just a loser who doesn't earn enough money to afford a WRX. Period. Who am I trying to kid?

Just as some other things are simply impossible, no matter what you do... Cannot means cannot.

Sometimes I just feel like giving up....totally....

The Most Amazing accident you will ever see!

I can't say anything except that the driver is a damn lucky guy... What brand of car was he driving???

Mentos/Diet Coke

Please pump Ron 92, and tell your father, brother whoever to do it too

Finally some in Singapore bothers to write about such a thing. If your car is a normal car, go pump RON 92 for goodness sake! Stop feeding the petrol cartel with your hard earned money! If most Singaporeans do this then maybe they will think twice about treating us as suckers who can be squeeeeeeeeeeeezed as and when they like. So for the record,

1. Consult your owner's manual when determining what grade of petrol to pump. Most likely, RON 92 will suffice. Yes your bloooody precious Altis only needs 92.

2. There is no performance or efficiency improvement if you pump a higher grade of petrol than your car needs. Read point 1. It's all in the head, probably your lower one too which wants you to impress the chick. V-Power is equivalent to V-Expensive.

3. Higher grade petrol costs more.

4. Higher grade petrol pollutes more.

Need any more reasons?

From Asiaone:

Fuel paradise?

Motorists in Singapore are a high-octane lot, going by the fuels they fill their cars with.

Despite the rise and rise of pump prices in recent years, they still buy more high-octane - and pricier - petrol than the cheaper, lower-octane juice.

Trade statistics show that in 1999, 98-octane (the highest available here) accounted for 82 per cent of petrol sold. Even with pump prices hitting record levels two years ago, 98-octane petrol made up 62 per cent of sales. Figures for 2006 are believed to be similar.`

The irony is, the majority of cars do not need high-octane fuels. Consultant Ong Eng Tong, 63, who is a 40-year marketing and trading veteran of the oil industry, says most Japanese makes will do fine with 92-octane (the lowest rating available here).

He also points out that the higher-octane fuels contain more benzene, a cancer-causing substance. "In most cases, using higher-octane petrol is a waste of money," he says.

Octane refers to the petrol's ability to resist premature ignition in the engine. The higher it is, the more resistant it is.

Most modern engines are able to overcome pre-ignition - which causes what is known as 'knocking' and is detrimental to efficiency - and can run well on lower-octane fuels.

At current prices, the difference between the most expensive and the least expensive fuels is 30.8 cents per litre. If you use 100 litres a month (which is typical), the difference works out to about $370 a year - enough for a very elaborate dinner for two.

So why is high-octane petrol so popular here? Essentially, it has to do with the notion that lower-octane fuels are somehow inferior.

Ms Day-Lin Koh, 29, who drives an Audi A4 1.8T, fills up with 98-octane because she reckons that is what the turbocharged car needs. Ms Koh, a marketing and communications manager, admits however that she filled up with 95 "by mistake" once and "there was no difference".

Little wonder. Audi says 95-octane is the preferred grade for the A4 1.8T. Honda Jazz owner Lee Li Hua, 49, says she alternates between 95- and 98-octane petrol.

"The Honda salesman recommended 98, but it is quite expensive," says the private banker. "So I use it on alternate fillings." Honda says the Jazz will run fine with 91-octane and above.

Businessman Leslie Chia, 42, who drives a high-performance Volvo V70 T5, fills up with 98-octane. "I've tried Shell V-Power in Malaysia, and frankly I couldn't tell the difference," he says, referring to the popular ultra-premium petrol.

Actually, the V70 T5 will operate fine on 95 too, says Volvo. Singaporeans are not the only ones who love high-octane fuel. According to oil companies, motorists in the Asia-Pacific tend to fill up with 98-octane.

In Europe and the United States, the majority goes for 95-octane. And in China, 90- and 93-octane petrols prevail (in fact, 98 is a rarity there).

Even in Japan, touted as the world's most sophisticated market, 91-octane makes up the bulk of petrol sales - although 100-octane is also available there.

Caltex introduced 100-octane petrol here in 1997 but removed it from its range soon after amid accusations by rivals that the fuel was damaging to some engines and detrimental to the environment because of its high benzene content.

Automotive consultant and racing driver William Lyou, 58, notes that only race cars need such high-octane fuels. "We imported 104- and 106-octane fuels for races here," he says.

The high-octane fuels are more resistant to knocking in high-compression high-revving engines, thus allowing these engines to perform optimally.

Shell fuels manager Eric Holthusen says most engines today have knock sensors that prevent damage from knocking. Some manufacturers have also introduced active knock sensors.

"These systems not only protect the engine from knock by retarding the ignition, but they can also advance the ignition when a higher-octane fuel in used so the driver can benefit from better economy or higher performance," he notes.

He says the choice of octane rating is determined by your car maker, as well as 'your personal preference'.



But Life! understands that outside the race circuit, supercars are about the only cars that require a strict diet of high-octane fuels. The others are small three-cylinder engines. These engines are more prone to knocking because of their high-compression nature. Older carburettor engines tend to need high-octane as well.

Mr Lyou runs his Lotus Elise on 95 and his Nissan March and Nissan Latio on 92. "The only time I used 98 was for my original Mini," he reveals.

Octane levels aside, is there a difference between the brands of petrol? Unsubstantiated banter among drivers seems to suggest so.

Oil industry sources say the various brands here are differentiated largely by the types of additives each adds to its fuels. And each will have its own marketing proposition.

Caltex says its petrol with Techron keeps engines clean for better performance, while Shell promises better economy. Esso, on the other hand, claims its fuels have 'friction modifiers' for smoother and quieter operation.

"Just a tankful of Techron can remove the carbon deposits on your car's fuel injectors," claims a Caltex spokesman. Be that as it may, one industry insider claims most fuels here share the same basic recipe.

"High-density petrols give more power but less economy; low-density petrols give better economy but are not so powerful. The petrols here tend to be the low-density variety," he says.

But Mr Lyou says which brand of petrol you use can be a 'seat of your pants' decision.

"Some swear by Esso, others Caltex," he says. "There is no right or wrong."

Who is playing anti-football?

One side may not have the skill, but they played with big hearts, tremendous fighting spirit, and attacked the other side all the way.

The other team had players with better technical ability, but did nothing attacking wise, and could only kick the ball far away aimlessly. The sight of Gennaro Gattuso rolling around the field pretending to be injured is honestly quite sickening already. He maybe a very good defensive midfield player, but his whole attitude towards the game stinks. Can somebody please break his leg and end his career? The world of football will be a better place without him.

My heart goes out to all the Scottish players and their supporters today. They have walked the talk and fought long and hard, alas the referee robbed you of your night. Please do not let all the good work be undone like Wales...

New Yorkers rally to help online romeo
Fri Nov 9, 2007 8:21am EST


By Belinda Goldsmith

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A tale of online love inspired usually cynical New Yorkers this week to help a young man find the girl of his dreams after he spotted her on a crowded subway train.

For Web designer Patrick Moberg, 21, from Brooklyn, it was love at first sight when he locked eyes with a rosy-cheeked woman while riding in Manhattan on Sunday night. She was writing in her journal.

The train was so full that he lost her in the crowd when they both got off, so he set up a Web site dedicated to finding the mystery woman -- www.nygirlofmydreams.com.

He drew a picture of the girl, who was wearing blue shorts, blue tights, and a red flower in her hair, and posted his cell phone number, e-mail address and an appeal for help finding her.

It worked.

Within hours Moberg's inbox was overflowing with e-mails and his phone ringing non-stop. He told the New York Post that he even received e-mails offering him love. "Some people said I'm not the girl but you're so adorable, pick me instead."

Tuesday night a friend of the woman contacted him and sent him a picture so he could confirm her identity. "Found Her! Seriously!" a notice on his Web site said.

"We've been put in touch with one another and we'll see what happens."

The mysterious subway brunette was named Thursday as Camille Hayton, an intern at magazine BlackBook from Melbourne, Australia, who also lives in Brooklyn.

"This is crazy. I can't believe it's happening," Hayton, 22, told the New York Post.

But Moberg said he is now pulling the shutters on his love life, scribbling out the cell phone number on his Web site and leaving a message on his phone saying he will do no more interviews.

"In our best interest, there will be no more updates to this website," he wrote.

"Unlike all the romantic comedies and bad pop songs, you'll have to make up your own ending for this."

Some New Yorkers may already, wondering if Moberg had made it sound too easy to find a needle in a haystack in this city of eight million people.

Transport transport transport

Finally, someone has some interesting and out of the box ideas for the transport system in Singapore. Whether they will work or not is really open to question, but at least someone has the guts to propose sweeping changes to the present system, which is plainly not working well enough for the long term. It is a good start. Please do not let this die down...

Transport system should try new routes

The Government is undertaking a comprehensive review of Singapore's land transport. Chairman of the Parliamentary Committee on Transport Cedric Foo has a few ideas on what it should cover

By Christopher Tan

IF THE head of the Government Parliamentary Committee for Transport has his way, the duopoly of the public transport industry enjoyed by SMRT Corp and SBS Transit would be done away with.

What Mr Cedric Foo would like to do is to carve up the island into regions and let companies - including foreign ones - bid for the right to operate in each region for a specified tenure.

One year into his role as chairman of the public advocacy group, Mr Foo, 47, makes it clear in an hour-long interview with The Sunday Times that Singapore needs 'to consider alternatives to the current structure' in the year-long Land Transport Review.

There is nothing like competition to ensure an efficient and cost-effective public transport system, he says.

But there is no competition in the current set-up, says the MP for West Coast GRC and group deputy president of shipping group NOL.

'Competition is defined as choice for the commuter. But there is really no choice today.' SMRT runs mostly trains and SBS Transit, buses. Also, bus services along MRT lines have been removed in the name of rationalisation so that commuters would ride the trains and ensure that the heavy investment in trains pays off.

Mr Foo suggests that Singapore adopt the regional operating model that is in use in places such as London, Sydney and the Scandinavian countries.

The Government pays the winning bidders a sum that covers operating costs plus incentives for meeting targets on service, ridership volume and reliability.

Those who excel may be rewarded with bonus payments; and those who fail may not be invited for the next tender.

Fares are collected by the Government, which uses the revenue to award the operating contracts.

He says: 'The fares are set by Government and commuters. And meeting service standards becomes the transport operators' primary concern.'

Such a regime can be applied here, despite what seems like a small market.

Dr Paul Barter, an assistant professor at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy who researches urban transport policies, reckons the approach 'involves assigning a single public agency with responsibility to integrate the planning of routes, timetables and pricing'.

In an article he wrote in Ethos, a Civil Service College publication, he pointed out that the Singapore market is comparable 'to that of the whole of Australia' in terms of total demand.

Professor David Hensher, director of the Institute of Transport and Logistics Studies, University of Sydney, also favours the regional operating regime.

He estimates that Singapore could probably have up to 10 operating regions. Sydney, which has 4.2 million people, has 15 bus regions. 'Have enough players so you can benchmark,' Prof Hensher says. 'Small is beautiful.'

Mr Foo, who is also NOL's chief financial officer, is of the view that 'the status quo we have is not optimal because one party is having high returns and either the Government or commuter is paying too much'.

He says the two public transport operators here enjoy returns that are not commensurate with an industry that is 'low-risk, not volatile or cyclical, and where ridership will be growing''.

Public transport companies around the world 'belong to a class of investments that trade more like bonds than shares', while SMRT and SBST enjoy returns which are 'high by any measure'.

According to their latest annual reports, SMRT Corp and SBS Transit posted returns on equity of 22.1 and 20.6 per cent respectively. Singapore Airlines, Asia's most profitable carrier, posted an ROE of 14.9 per cent last year.

But Mr Foo thinks that operators should remain listed companies, as making profit is a powerful incentive.

He does not necessarily buy the argument that Singapore should have one bus operator and one train operator. 'You need buses to feed the trains, and trains take the longer haul.

'That's usually the more efficient way. So for buses to be a real competition to trains may be hard to do.'

But if commuters are to be persuaded to switch from car or cab to bus or train, public transport must offer a competitive alternative in terms of cost, comfort and time.

One way is to to have a 'throughfare' system to ensure that commuters who make transfers do not end up paying more. The removal of bus services along new MRT lines has led to some riders making one or more transfers.

'From a macro standpoint, you want to rationalise the system to reduce overall cost. But the savings should be passed on to those who are affected by the rationalisation,' Mr Foo explains.

'If you ship something from Shanghai to Rotterdam, and the box is transhipped in Singapore and Colombo, you cannot charge the customer more. In fact, you might have to charge lower because of the time delay,' the trained marine engineer explains.

To persuade more people to switch to public transport, he believes that 'demand management measures' for cars such as imposing congestion charges and capping the growth rate of cars should continue to be exploited.

Motorists, he says, must learn to accept these measures. 'If you don't have explicit demand management, costs will also go up - traffic jams, the time, the fuel, the pollution, road rage.

'It will make Singapore less attractive to live in and companies may think twice before investing here.'

At the same time, he thinks the authorities must 'explore intensification of road use''. 'Usually, it's heavy traffic coming into the city in the morning, and the other side of the road is empty. Or heavy traffic going out of the city in the evening, and the other side becomes empty.'

To cater to such uneven demand, Mr Foo says Singapore should explore 'electronic ways' to switch the direction of some lanes in an underused carriageway.

Companies and schools should consider staggered work and school hours; and urban planning can be improved so as to minimise the need for travel.

The Government should also invest 'more aggressively' in land transport infrastructure.

He says he is 'a bit disappointed with the speed' at which new projects - especially MRT lines - are being built.

The parliamentarian says the Government should start planning for new rail lines despite having just started work on the 40km Downtown MRT Line, which is scheduled to be up in 2018.

'I think infrastructure should lead rather than lag demand.'

His suggestion contradicts the current stand that MRT lines should start running only when there are enough users to cover running costs.

'We cannot value infrastructure investment just on ridership. There are a lot of externalites that bring value to the country. When you have infrastructure, the adjacent land increases in value. We need a holistic approach.'

He notes cases such as the North-East Line's Buangkok station. SBS Transit had refused to open it for two years because there were not enough residents in the vicinity.

He says the Government should 'lay the line and sell the flats, rather than the reverse'.

The Government should adopt the same approach to land transport as it does to the expansion of expansion of Changi Airport. 'We were quick to establish a budget terminal. We announced Terminal 3 will be ready next year - well before Terminal 2 is chock-a-block.'

Mr Foo, whose GPC has asked to be 'engaged early' in the Land Transport Review by the Government, says: 'We should not have half measures. We should be bold so as to retain our competitive edge.'

Money money money

I have written about this issue on this blog quite a few years ago and I shall not repeat it again. But it is sad that the fortunes of the match going supporter, who puts in the most effort to support their team, are being ignored in favour of arm chair supporters like myself. In this world, money talks. Maybe we are still being colonised subconsciously, even our money faced attitude comes from the British...

When Sunday comes? October fixture farce

A new record will be set on October 6 with only one of the 10 Premier League games starting at the traditional Saturday 3pm kick-off.

Eight matches will take place on Sunday, October 7 and another at 12.45pm on the Saturday. Due to the demands of television and involvement with the UEFA Cup, only Aston Villa v West Ham remains at Saturday 3pm.

Fans' leaders are to complain to the Premier League about the timings, claiming that it will be 'a dark weekend' for match-going supporters.

Malcolm Clarke, chairman of the Football Supporters' Federation, told PA Sport: 'Fans still very much like the traditional 3pm Saturday kick-off and the decline in that element of the game is a matter of great concern.

'For there to be just one game kicking off at that time is quite extraordinary and it will be a dark weekend for fans.

'It's symbolic of the way things are going but the views of the match-going fan seem to be bottom of the list of priorities. We will certainly bring this up at our next meeting with the Premier League.'

Manchester United v Wigan is the other game taking place of Saturday, October 6 but is kicking off at 12.45pm as it is being televised.

Three other matches are being televised on the Sunday, four more games have been switched because teams involved are playing in the UEFA Cup on the previous Thursday and Manchester City v Middlesbrough has been moved for policing reasons.

The City game was originally due to be played in the last week of the season but as their ground is the venue for the UEFA Cup final, UEFA asked the club to switch their Middlesbrough matches to play at the Riverside on the last weekend of the season.

As United are at home on Saturday, October 6, City have to play on the Sunday.

A Premier League spokesman said: 'It is a combination of factors - teams featuring in Europe, television games and policing issues.

'We always try to give fans as much notice as possible as our research shows that if we do that, then they can make the appropriate travel arrangements.'

Teams involved in the UEFA Cup do not have to play on a Sunday but under Premier League rules they have a right do so if it does not impact on the opposing team.

Saturday Oct 6: Man Utd v Wigan 12:45pm; Aston Villa v West Ham 3pm.

Sunday Oct 7: Arsenal v Sunderland 12pm; Reading v Derby 2pm; Blackburn v Birmingham 3pm; Bolton v Chelsea 3pm; Liverpool v Tottenham 3pm; Man City v Middlesbrough 3pm; Newcastle v Everton 3pm; Fulham v Portsmouth 4.10pm.

Thanks for the memories Ole =)

As tired and stressed as I am, it wouldn't be fair for me not to post something about the great man who brought so much joy to Reds like me.

Yet another Manchester United hero whom I grew up watching has hung up his boots. And in Ole's case, it was much more frustrating for we were deprived of his services just when he seemed to have finally established himself firmly as a first team regular. And that was on top of his willingness to play the role of a substitute to the best of his abilities. His selflessness was further displayed in the famous hack on Rob Lee to prevent a Newcastle winner, earning himself a red card (without any complaints) in the process. Who can forget the wonderful 4 goal salvo against Forest, the winner against Liverpool in the treble season, and of course THAT goal in Barcelona. Perhaps there is destiny after all, that someone who gave so much loyal service would be the one to score the winner in the biggest game for the club in decades.

His popularity also stems from the fact that he always had the interests of the supporters at heart. None more so than when he became Shareholders United's patron. One of the rare breed who thinks about those cheering in the stands in this age of egoistic overpaid footballers.

I guess I will be only one out of the billions who will be sad at Ole's retirement, but I would still wish him success in whatever roles he takes up in future. He deserves it, unlike some scum who would throw his legend status away to play for the sworn arch rivals.

Thanks for the memories Ole! You were indeed the sunshine in our lives...

What's the worth of a banker, compared to an engineer?

Another letter on the forum which I do agree with to a certain extent. Some young people nowadays are too misguided on the importance of their profession, mistaking importance with glam. I have no doubt that for the world to advance, technological progress is important. That is not to say bankers are useless. Financial intermediaries are important too because they are a more efficient allocation of funds to investment projects. However, they are forever just that, intermediaries, not wealth creators! Think Albert Einstein, think Thomas Edison, you get the picture?

Anyway it's not that I regret studying Econs. I do not, I love Econs, even if I realise I won't fit into the "Albert Einstein world changing discovery" mould. My point is, study what your interests lie in, do not be seduced by the temporary boom or glam factor or certain occupations. And the world will be a better place for it!

From The Straits Times

What's the worth of a banker, compared to an engineer?

I TRULY believe that the greatest contributors to the world today are the people who made what the world is today compared to 500 years ago.

Every nation is highly dependent on advance biomedical technologies, telecommunication, the Internet, drugs or aviation, et cetera. Professionals, engineers or research scientists play a major role in these developments since then. They are undeniably the people who contribute to the changing of an era.

There is today an overwhelming response of applicants for university courses on banking and finance. Instead, the number of applicants applying for engineering and science is going down.

Prospective students come to this decision most likely because of the booming financial sector now. These graduates receive higher pay packages compared to those of the other industries.

Banking and finance make only a small impact on the standard of living today compared to science and engineering. For example, a remisier or financial adviser assists an investor to make millions of dollars. They invest their money in funds and securities. This cycle keeps rolling. In what way does this contribute to improve technology to make a better world?

Compare this to engineers or research scientists. Which group makes a greater contribution that changes the world today? Do bankers deserve such income?

Teo Chet Hou

I don't want to be the middleman!

This is what I have noticed ever since this so called boom in Singapore is taking place. Everyone is talking about jobs in banking and the finance sector, and some are actually totally ignorant about what it entails and just wants to be in it for the glam factor and the money. This is yet another result of micro managing. And this cannot be the case! When will Singaporeans realise that it is important to study what you really like? One moment it's life science, another moment is banking, what will the next fad be? The only constant is yourself!!

And it is common knowledge in growth theory that long term economic growth can only come about through technological innovations. And this can only come about through sciences and engineering! If everybody goes into banking, we will forever be the middleman, helping the super rich to manage their wealth, and never becoming the super rich ourselves! Because we are not creating our own wealth!!!!! Sigh....

Not enough takers for engineering scholarships

Defence technology agency DSO worries that switch to 'softer' courses will spell trouble for Singapore

By Liaw Wy-Cin

BETWEEN five and 10 of the 40 defence engineering scholarships offered to Singaporeans each year are not taken up.
This could become a serious problem for Singapore.

DSO National Laboratories chief executive Quek Gim Pew told The Straits Times recently that Singapore relies heavily on advanced defence technologies to compensate for what it lacks in size. This means the country needs a continuous supply of engineers in the traditional areas of electrical, electronic and mechanical engineering.

DSO is a defence technology development agency.

Said Mr Quek: 'Most scholarship applicants we interview want to study chemistry and biology and are interested in a career in life sciences, instead of physics and engineering.'

While other sectors can employ foreigners to address the manpower crunch, this is not an option in the highly classified field of defence technology research and development.

The number of scholarship applicants who want to study engineering has decreased by more than 10 per cent from 2002 to this year, he added.

The situation reflects the fact that the brightest students increasingly opt for 'softer' and more glamorous courses - in business and finance, for example.

In recent years, engineering has slipped from its heyday in the 1970s and 1980s as the career of choice among students. The profession had the highest number of job vacancies in the past two years, according to Ministry of Manpower figures.

About one-third of the 3,639 top 10 professional job vacancies last year were in engineering. The proportion was similar in 2005.

DSO has not been able to fill its quota of scholarship places in the past few years, said Mr Quek. And this year, it is 8 to 10 per cent short of its annual target of 40 engineers to conduct research into high-tech weapon systems, for example.

Universities and polytechnics here have also reported a decline in the demand for places in the physical sciences and engineering courses, saying students do not see engineering as promising an exciting career.

In an attempt to arrest the slide, some universities have relaxed criteria for entry to the engineering faculty by allowing those without a physics background to pursue engineering.

And to attract students flocking to courses in business and finance, the universities last year offered engineering double degrees with business courses.

With these options, universities here will hopefully avoid the fates of some others, like Reading in Britain which had to close its physics department due to falling enrolment.

In Singapore, the shortage of local engineers seems to affect smaller companies more than larger ones.

About 75 per cent of Keppel Offshore & Marine's 1,300 engineers are Singaporean, and only 6 per cent of ST Engineering's 2,700 are foreign.

In contrast, most of Sys-Mac Automation Engineering's 20 graduate engineers are from China and Malaysia; only three or four are Singaporeans.

Its managing director Lawrence Sim explained why.

'When I advertised in the local newspapers, I hardly got any response. It was only when I advertised in Malaysia's New Straits Times, could I field candidates for my job vacancies, mainly mechanical engineering positions,' he said.
