Car Maintenance: Car Insurance, ERP, COE, and more..

Everything now is money money money.

can you imagine if you get a car now.. how much MONEY you'll have to cough up. 

Its not only the car itself, there is COE, ERP and.... CAR INSURANCE!

what if your car side mirror gets stolen, the window pane gets smashed, and what if your car gets flooded in orchard road?!

LOL.. so many things to take precaution of. so thats why you HAVE to get car insurance to protect your darling car! 

and talking about car insurance.. i just realised that i received my first cpf contribution hahaha.

and it came from prudential insurance. i dont really know what im supposed to do cos i havent read through the 7 pages long letter.

but i do recall that i have to reply them about making them my cpf safe guarder or something, or else i'll have to pick another one which is NTUC income.

i left it to my mom cos she knows better.

so now back to car insurance.. and other types of insurance.

oh i saw this interesting news on taiwan tv news that celebrity with stunning features are insuring those certain parts. for example.. andy lau insured his "dazzling eyes", jolin cai yilin insured both her "legs" because she was performing some highly dangerous acts for her concert. jin cheng wu insured his "dazzling eyes" and jay chou his "awesome voice" i think. i cant recall the exact features.. BUT the thing i was sure... that all these parts were insured millions of singapore dollars.

MILLION DOLLAR INSURANCE CONTRACT! (for just one pair of eyes, or feet, or lips mind you)...-.-

so yea.. getting am insurance for the car is nothing as compared to this. afterall, you're insuring the WHOLE VEHICLE! not just the mirror, the glass, the engine and bla.

thats all for today. something to leave you thinking - car insurance :)  and that's if you get a car, of course.

GENERAL ELECTION 2011

GE results were rather much expected.. (PAP returns to parliament, PAP percentage decreases)

almost 90% of pap members seated in the parliament when their votes were only an average of 60%.
this shows that something is amiss with the voting system. some say the "GRC ticket" to parliament is the factor. and this is how people like george yeo and the women minister (i forgot the name)who are really capable don't get voted in! And newbies (who dont who deserve it) like TPL gets a seat.

rather nonsensical system ah? it has nothing to do with Workers party winning aljunied and george yeo's team getting kicked out.

its alright MR george yeo, there are so many singaporeans backing you up to run for presidency!
now it all boils down to his decision

Workers party can go win all they want and represent the people in the parliament- that i strongly agree. but the fact is that those who DONT deserve it, gets in and those who STRONGLY deserves it fails to get a seat.

Tell me, what is wrong and who is at fault?



GE 2011 trivia on this NSP member.

Mr X (siling primary school, woodlands sec, ITE yishun, part time retail diploma, Works as a warehouse assistant) so this means anyone CAN run the nations?! me too!?

RUNNING FOR ELECTION?!

I cannot imagine someone whose english standard like his to lead singapore. I cannot imagine my country leader becoming a laughing stock when he represents singapore in a foreign land- it'll just become singapore's joke.

truelysingaporean.blogspot.com (evidence for cmi english)

i asked him his stand on facebook for running and this was what he replied:

"i did not want to stand for this election but as no one is coming forward, i have to make that choice. I have discuss this with party elders, and i have made that choice. Well, it may be a good/bad decision depending on how you may want to look at it. Whatever it is, i am not perfect and i am still learning. Btw, no worries abt it. This is my last hurrah. My final one. Me and a few other comrades has decided we shall not stand anymore."

(again, note the language)

HELLO?! no one is coming forward to oppose PAP that's why you decided to run?!
And what if you get elected? its the end. 0.0 fortunately luck wasn't on your side!
phew..

anyway, nothing against this candidate. but i just felt that he should know his limits. afterall lifes of singaporeans are at stake.

Dinner at Paradise Dynasty @ ION orchard + shopping at Takashimaya

This 8 flavoured xiao long bao can be found at paradise dynasty @ ION orchard level 4.
Worth the try, something special, tastes like what its supposed to taste like.
i liked the cheese xiaolongbao especially. you could see the cheese melted in the meat and oozing out after your first bite. yum!

Other than 2 'longs' of 8 flavoured xlb, we also had shanghainese bamboo shoot, 5 spices beef and cai rou wanton la mian.

i must say that this 3 didnt meet my expectations.
(probably ordered the wrong dish)

i was there at 7pm. long queue before me!
got a queue number and waited about 30 mins before getting in.
I spent time at 360 market place, i LOVED that super market!!! classic supermaket, for expats must be.. the best part, prices are SO reasonable, some products priced even cheaper than fairprice! Sushi corner looked fantastic, much "liao" at such a cheap price. bought lobster handroll at only $1.40, much meat in it!

and after dinner, mom and i went to taka to use a $10 taka gift voucher.
went one round and decided on bakerzin's macaroons! ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! <3<3<3

YUM! THOUGH I NEVER KNEW WHAT IT REALLY WAS HAHA!
THATS ALL FOR TODAY'S UPDATE!

KINDLE

kindle wireless reading device @ amazon!

UNIVERSITY ntu smu nus

yeap. uni it is.

1 year later and im gonna submit my university applications.
and im not sure what i wanna go into.

Business- always my safe choice but people are telling me that its rather general, not much expertise. i thought through it and i kinda agree. its like you can read them off those books, get into the working world then learn from there. Afterall its all about experience isnt it? so thats my dilemma.


Caught between 2 different type of genre. Worse still business and mass comm have further subgroups. acturial science, marketing, HR, account, journalism, broadcast and the list goes on.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

okay but another thought: whichever uni offers a scholarship to me, im in hahahaha.
YOU KNOW HOW FREAKING EXPENSIVE UNIVERISTY FEES ARE?! and the best thing about scholarships? everything paid for. EVERYTHING. hola! :)

but for now im keeping it simple.. NTU business or SMU business, well of course im keeping options opened!

they say smu is the arising thing. whereas ntu is not even improving (dropped drastically in rank) also, lecturers are part time students.. for real?!

i'll go to their open house to clarify my doubts- SOON hopefully! 1 year early though haha!

See you tomorrow!

ORIGINALITY

Seriously, people nowadays just read off composition books, memorize them and paste them during exam.

Compos i read nowadays are just SIMILAR!

Even chinese compositions, they're like a chip off the old block hahaha.

this reminds me of ancient chinese poets- they just gaze at the moon, drink some alcohol and ta-duh! poems after poems.

Famous chinese poets: LI BAI, KONG ZI, DU FU, MENG HAORAN and the list goes on...

and highly reviewed after 1 MILLION GAZILLION YEARS LATER! haha..

you know why.. cos people back then have nothing to copy from. hahaha
not much basis but yeah, thats what i think.

ORIGINALITY you see :)

THE ROYAL MARRRIAGE- marriage of the century, KATE MIDDLETON and PRINCE WILLIAM!

Woohooo!

Guess what...

i watched the royal wedding TWICE!

i have to say that kate middleton's dress is pretty nice.

simple, elegant, classic, poised yet not revealing! you see, as royals, they still have to limit the amount of skin the reveal- i suppose, hahahaha!

She adhered to the "rule" and came out surprisingly charming as well!
pretty as she is, people say she is a trendsetter in terms of fashion- we could gather that from the "imitation" (similar) wedding dresses all over the world, she does set a trend. people just want to be like the newly wedded princess!

here are some photos..



ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS ROYAL WEDDING!

<3
