DISCOVERED!!! Almost....

You believe in god? I do, and I am absolutely sure they are around me all the time!

GOD actually tell my mum, through a "tan ke" a.k.a spirt's medium that I am riding bike right now! Oh yes, I got a good lecturing by my mum even though I told her I am riding, as a pillion only. Of course, its a lie as you all know after viewing the pics of my scooter.

Tsk tsk tsk. Why do mum always get so worried about me riding bike? Is it because of the statistic? Anyway, its a cold war between me and her right now.... I truly believe when its time to "go", you can never avoid it whether you are driving a car, riding a bike or just plain walking.

Business in gaming?

Now this is how my new business plan will be like this, in simple format--

Its a gaming business and all I need is my trusty PS2, a controller and a racing game. I will chose Gran Turismo 4 in this case. I am planning to conduct a video game car racing competition which should initially last for a month. What happen here is that registered contestant, who will pay a nominal fee, will get to race on a preset race track with a preset car. The contestant will have his name put up on a chart. The next contestant comes in, race and if his race time beats the previous contestant, he will be first on the chart. This goes on and on for the following contestants untill a month is up. Contestant with the best lap time will win a prize, which and the moment I can only think of is a cash price. 2nd placing and third placing will get something too.

Of course, there must be a way for everyone interested to keep track of the progress in this month long competition. To ensure better publicity and information sharing, a website will be set up to keep track of the competition progress plus build up eagerness in past contestant to come back and race again when they loss their placing.

And there you go....a simple business plan!!!

NO CASINO PLEASE!!!

What a coincident. Just when we are all debating about whether to built a casino or not (actually don't even need to debate, ultimately PAP still make the decision), the Tampines' Family Tragedy happened. For those who have not been reading the news paper, this tragedy is about a man, who own loan shark so much money due to gambling, that he have to take his wife and children with him to Heaven (or is it hell?).

This incident send a very very strong signal to our dear government about the danger of Casino in Singapore. Our government have already hinted us that they are GOING to built a Casino somewhere in Singapore. If it was me making the decesion, I will say a big NO to the Casino. Want to Gamble? Go Genting Highland or go on a Cruise ship but never never give our citizen the convinient access of Casino at the home ground less we expect more of such family tragedy to happen.

That does no mean that I am against gambling or casino. I still love to try my luck now and again in the name of fun and I feel I am still discipline enough in front of a deck of 52 cards, knowing when to give up and when to keep the winning spree going. However not everyone will be able to hold back the allure of a Casino life. So, yet again, NO CASINO IN SINGAPORE please.

Finally, remember that the governmet are setting all sorts of restriction on Singaporeans if they intend to enter a local Casino (if its built). Its RESTRICTION, which means you eventually still will land onto the gambling table after obeying certain rules like putting a deposit, paying member fee....etc...etc.... The Casino will eventually be just like the Malboro or Lucky Strike ciggarettes, high import tax, high price and the coming restriction in many public areas. This feel like cutting the weeds without removing its root. People still can smoke and people still can gamble, the implication are still around, Heart attack, highblood pressure, lung cancer, Loan Shark, Mass Organized Suicide. Man....the government should open both their eyes and ears and stop making decision that does no benefit us at all although someone, we know, is earning all the revenue from the Casino operation. ;-)
