Singapore - Stormy Days Ahead?

Singapore is already in recession, technically. And this year, the civil servants receive the lowest bonus ever, since I started working. Inflation is still about 6% ?!?!? And according to various reports, next year's economy is going to be worse!

On another note, it seems a blessing to be a civil servant in time of economic crisis. Job stability is priced highly. So ... no complaints. Christmas/Year End shopping still continues, though at a less elaborate scale.

Marina Barrage

This is the Singapore's new dam-reservoir : The Marina Barrage. It has a 3-in-1 Benefit:

  1. Water Supply
  2. Flood Control
  3. Lifestyle Attraction
for more information, please go to the PUB website:

There are some nice photos there too.

Children playing and having fun. But, I think this is just an initial hype. Honestly, at the moment, it is not convenient to go there. You need to take MRT to Marina South and wait for a shuttle bus (which operates at 1/2 hour interval) to bring you there. Maybe in a few years down the road, the Marina Barrage will be more accessible. There are more convenient places with water spraying from the ground. There is one at Vivo City; I believe IMM has one too.

漏水?

Well, not sure if this a some feng shui stuff , but this angle seems kind of auspicious

新加坡-发啊!
