Sneakers makes you look cool! Kids, teens and adults walked around with them in streets and other places. They are so common that they can be seen around in the neighbourhoods! They also come in different colours to match sorts of different clothes.

Well, I bought so many of them that I lost count of them! Buy them from islandwide shoe shops including All Star Converse and Bata with estimated prices from $15 to $60.

The Singapore Flyer

Singapore's pride and glory is standing at the height of 165m. It is higher than the London Eye and now it is the highest in the world now. A round of applause please!

At the height of 165m, you can enjoy a paranomic view of Singapore's skyline, a glimpse of Bintan and Johor too!

It was written on its website that it feature fixed capsules the size of a bus, the spectacular monument is capable of holding up to 784 passengers. Each capsule has a 28 person capacity and each revolution takes approximately 30 minutes. It held its groundbreaking ceremony in September 2005 and was launched in 2008.

Wonder where to go during the holidays? Simply book the tickets at its building at 30 Raffles Avenue, #01-07 or contact the officers there at 6333 3311. Remember to get there before its last admission at 10.15p.m. and its earliest at 8.30a.m.

For what Ms Fanny Lai, Group CEO of Wildlife Reserves, said on 11 February 2008, "I didn’t know Singapore is so green on top. I thought it would be a concrete jungle. But it is really green. This is something every tourist should see.", it would not be a trip to Singapore if you never hop on the Flyer, so just thrill your family and yourself, a fun!

今年一月底,坐落于勿洛北的崭新216巴刹经过漫长的翻新工程重新开张了。今天,就让记者“带”你去“尝”一下美味可口的面条饺子,走吧!

傍晚时分,记者跳下了巴士,绕了一大圈才找着了这一摊正排着长龙的“阿丽怡保河粉”。记者等了许久才见到老板娘陈丽微笑着的走向记者,记者连忙把名片递上并自我和介绍了一番。 然而,这些都不是重点,而是这摊的特色。卖着11样美食,其中有7样式的面类而其余的是脆脆金黄的饺子、云吞和锅贴。

尽管只营业了4年多,他们的知名度也打得蛮响,还获得了B级卫生等级。陈老板娘说:“创业是为了生活、生存。虽然是有点困难,但这些根大公司、大企业的路还短,还容易多了。”

记者点了一碗畅销的鱼饺面,哇,那面条是如此的滑!那鸡肉片实在是嫩得不得了,熬了极久的高汤有够甜!而且只卖三元而已!即划算、鲜美、好吃又能填饱肚子。

Being a teen.


Being a teen is no easy task. adults say that we do not understand what they had gone through, but, in fact, what we are going through are even worse.

We have the pressure of exams. We have to have a good conduct in school or else be booked by an 'oh-so-mean' teacher. We must always come to school, and there is no such a thing called 'days off'.. I am not saying that parents have an easy job, but, please, cut us some slack....

We have to go through the same routine, day after day. Waking up at 5 in the morning sucks. (and I'm not even half done with what I have to say...)

Our bags are so heavy that made us resemble turtles. And what's more we have homework every single day! And that's not even counting other problems...

Friendships are really brittle and we have problems with them on a daily basis. Relationships are not encouraged but we still have them sometimes, and problems arise with them too.

In a whole, we have the worst 'jobs' in the world -being teenagers.

Meows~~

Recently, there are a lot of cats appearing near my house. There were two black kittens born last year and now a total of black kittens are there......

One kitten had been sleeping in a bicycle basket which I wonder how it got into that basket.

Another cat had been playing hide-and-seek with me, popping its head out from behind the wall several times.

One lazy kitten had been laying on the floor and when I greeted it, it would always meow back to me a lot of times.

I hope these wonderful stray cats will not disappear altogether like what happened once but continue to carry on the black cats' family line.

[Asst. Editor's note: The below from Horizon Sim is definitely NOT our opinion!]

I'm a NOT scaredy cat.


Hi all, it is me again, Horizon. I ask all of you a question: Do you think H1N1 virus is dangerous? No, that is what my opinion, yours might not be the same as mine so I shan't force you. Isn't it just like another common flu? With vaccines and care, it will heal very fast but I also think that overreacting is playing safe? H1N1 is a mixture of flu from pigs, birds and humans so the society has used to it and it can be controlled.

Singapore is still safe as compared to Japan's 280+ cases, we had only 4, Singapore's SAFE!

@冰慧 Yuki


Personal Introduction

Hi I am Yuki, a special and unique Japanese name…My hobby is to go shopping and buy lots of staff such as mini skirt and high heel shoes. My other hobby includes reading, swimming and sleeping. I can sleep up to 10 hours per day and because I am living in a condominium so I would go swimming every twice a week. But my dad is always working so not much time of his was spent with me. Days without him, I am staying in a 5-room flat all by myself…it was a real fun experience.Hehehe…..I enjoyed watching movie with my friends and family. Some of my friends are cool. But the rest are….dull and boring.Ok, by now hope you know a bit of me……hehe .I would like to do this job because I have great passion in it,so I hope I will learn a lot from this job.

HOLIDAY HAVOC

I know this is sort of like my last report. But I dont really care.

THE JUNE HOLIDAYS IS HERE!! CELEBRATE!!!!

Shop, play, relax, chill, and play some more!


A list of places to go for the HOLIDAYS!!


1. Jurong Point. Not only this is modern and a real hotspot for teenagers, it is located near Boon Lay MRT station and a bus interchange, and has tons of shops, fast food restaurants, a cinema and an arcade! Also, it has two parts, JP1 and the new, hip JP2!!


2. Vivo City. This is an amazing place to shop til you guys DROP! It is near Harbourfront MRT station, and within 10 minutes you could be having one hell of a good time! With a Burger King for those fast food fanatics, a million stores for those shopping queens-and-kings, and a playground for the young at heart, it's the perfect place for all ages!


3. West Mall. This is an awesome place to have fun and spend your savings! With shops and cinemas, it's great for a get-together with friends! Plus, it's located nearby!


4. Kallang Entertainment Center. This place has lots of amazing things to do! Bowling, ice-skating, an arcade, a cinema, and even a karaoke box! So, wanna have fun? Leisure Park Kallang is the place to be!


5. IMM. This fantastic place is only 5 minutes away from Jurong East MRT station. There is also a free shuttle bus service! With Mos Burger, McDonald's, and 7-Eleven outlets JUST ON THE FIRST FLOOR, this is amazing to get a bite to eat with friends. Basically, this is great place to enjoy a shopping-and-eating spree with your friends.


Also, be cool. Being cool and IN has nothing to do with smoking or getting involved with drugs. However, go to the beach with a cute outfit and sunglasses, and you might get a surprise at exactly what 'cool' is.


And if you failed your exams, don't panic. Remember, live life, cos' life goes on.

@张鑫

代笔了!



哈,读者你是否很懊恼没得读到石头诗的专栏文章啊?这或许是巧合但张鑫我呢就要挑起几个星期的担子替主编代笔。原因:因为主编放假去了,到中国写旅游专栏去了(为何不是我?!),所以我就只能呆在新加坡,哪儿都没门儿去。

话说回来,我待会儿又要宣传这新网站,够烦吧?但我也没办法呀。主编说要发那日积月累的薪水时,我都乐坏了,怎么说不做呢?现实社会有很多人替人打工(跟我一样)但心里往往没了“衷心”这两个字(哧,我可不是那种人哦!),所以整天可以看到很多人骗公司钱啦,盗用公款啦等等要不得之事......

在此祝火红的文字站生意兴隆,永远不朽!(我没东西写了,主编,救命啊!)
