If i remember correctly, there are either 12 or 15 checkpoints, and you are expected to complete 2/3 of the checkpoints only. That means that there are some checkpoints where you dont even get to go at all, because once you meet the minimum checkpoints required, you head straight back, and pray hard...

The waterski park (in East Coast, next to the hawker center) is one of the checkpoints in last year race. I didn't do the waterski because I was covering checkpoints that are near to the Science Park. In fact, I intentionally choose not to go to the checkpoints on East Coast, because from the list, ...

I have done it last year, and personally, I think its good fun and good experience. Its reasonably well coordinated by the organizers. I didnt feel that there is major hipcups. For the race, essentially, you are given a list of about 15 checkpoints, and you need to go to about 10 or 12 checkpoints. ...

The ticket prices advertised do not include airport and fuel tax, and depending on the country and city you are going, it could be an additional of $100-$200. For budget airlines (i.e. Jetstar and Tigers), they do not serve food or drinks on flight. You will need to purchase it, on board. You should...

I am quite an IT-Idiot, so appreciate all help and comments. I have been using Apple Powerbook G4 for 2 years now. Recently, I bought a web-cam, and would like to use it with instant messenging application. Anyone have any idea which program I should use? I tried AMSN but it doesn't seems to work. I...

I think everyone was disappointed. Today's papers also have an short article about their 80 mins concert... i feel quite rip-off actually. Plus, they actually said that it will be a great party during their press conference in the day... James Blunt is coming in May, and it seems like their Premier ...

Thinking of going to PP between May 1 - 4. Was checking on Jetstar and realised that the tickets are really cheap (only $280) despite the fact that its over a public holiday period. Depart Thurs evening 6pm, return Sunday night 1035pm. You will probably need to take a day off (2nd May) if you have a...

So anyone is going for the Maroon 5 concert? One of our friends have to bail out due to work commitment, so will be good if someone is keen to fill up the seat.

I'm doing compliance in a bank. You mentioned you are involved in audit & compliance, maybe you can try for a compliance related job in a bank. With all the bad publicity on sub-prime, and bank losses, most bank are tightening on their controls and compliance areas, so there are quite a fair bit of ...

For banking sector, most bank offer 21 days minimum for executive and above position. In addition, it is mandated to take a block leave of 10 days on an annual basis. For law firms, it varies from law firm to law firm. I know one australian law firm that give 21 days to their foreign practicing lawy...

I have booked a tennis court at Yio Chu Kang Sport Center (next to YCK MRT Station) for this Sunday, 3-5PM. The court cost $19, and we have 2 people (all beginners) now. Those who are keen to join, please let me know.

The current SQ 4-to-go deal is SGD$1200/pax (excluding tax). I think tax will be $300-400, so the flight ticket alone will be around $1500-$1600. Finnair, KLM and Qatar flies to Europe for about $1000, but it is not a direct flight. Including tax, it will cost around $1400. I wont mindpaying a bit m...

Please PM me as well, for Tennis Player. Thank you!

Hi hi, my bf and I are planning for a trip to Europe (Italy to ski & Barcelona) next year as well. I have made some initial checking of flights, places to go, hotels, etc. Maybe we can plan some parts of the vacation together or even fly to Barcelona together? SQ have a direct flight to Barcelona an...
