Jipaban Voucher for Chinese New Year

If I were to receive a $100 Jipaban Voucher, I would give it to my darling wife and or use it for my Chinese New Years clothes. This online shopping not only cater to the girls but also thought of the guys.

I would get some good tee shirts at good prices and the design are unique. More selection for the girls as they dress down after a hard week of work at the office.

I'm checking out Jipaban.com for my CNY attire and more.

Singaporeans Love the Curry

Singaporeans love the Curry which has been cooking in the community for the past 46 Years. But I do personally know PRCs' does not like the smell as they are not bought up in Singapore. PRCs' are migrants from China and are less tolerant of other food and culture.

China is a single race country and not exposed to other cultures. But Singaporeans are exposed to a multi culture society as there are many races in our country. We grow up to love other culture food like Muslim, Indian, Eurasian, Peranakan and many other dishes. PRCs' need to know how to integrate to our society if they want to live in our city.

Somerset 313 Smoke Curtains

I was having tea with my friend at the Coffee Bean at 1130AM and discussing about investment when suddenly the Fire Alarm was activated. It rang for a while and later went off. But the SMOKE CURTAINS come down and crush onto the furniture at Coffee Bean. Staffs remove the chairs and tables and allow the smoke curtain to touch the ground.

Smoke Curtains coming down at Coffee Bean.

This is the cooliest fire prevention technology I have seen at Somerset 313, even the elevator can be covered up. No access from B2 to B3 as escalator seal up. Is this protection or preventing customers from escaping on B1 and B2.

The best part is there is no public announcement that the Fire Alarm was a false alarm. Customers and staff was confused on this smoke curtain. So business just continue with the smoke curtains down.

  

As lunch time approaches, security and technician was still not able to lift up the smoke curtains. They use a manual chain to rise it up but it got stuck and they have to release it back again. They are back on the phone asking for help.

Smoke Curtain damage part of the tenants furniture. Staffs just take easy and chat on the table as no customers will be coming.

Smoke Curtains cover the B1 and B2 floors so that no smoke can penetrate the level.

I left the place at 130PM to meet my vendors and the smoke curtain was still not raise up yet.

Jurong Point Rewards Queue System

Is Singapore ready for a gracious society? I think we are still not that ready after seeing an incident unroll at Jurong Point Customer Service Centre. A man has queue at the customer service centre to get his rewards. The staff inform him that he need to purchase something more in order to get the rewards. He continue his shopping and return later to the staff to exchange the rewards. The staff inform him that he need to queue again. He insist not queueing again as he had done it before. The staff insisted he do it as it is not fair to the others who are in the queuing system. The security guard was call in to control the situation. In additional, he customer also want to complain to the management that she is rude to him. I think the staff did the correct thing to control the situation.

Whenever shopping centres come out promotion, queue cannot be avoided in order to get the rewards.  Sometimes information on how to fulfill the rewards or promotion is not available in the shopping centre but at the customer service itself. We also queue and the staff inform us that we need to NETS $100 to get a $10 voucher. I still need to NETS $30 more to qualify for the voucher and so we went shopping again and requeue later to get my voucher.

One Phone Number for Life

The era has finally arrive in Singapore, all mobile phone users will get to keep one mobile phone number for life. The full mobile number portability will kicks in on 13 June 2008. Consumers will be able to keep their existing mobile number when they switch mobile operators.

Porting Existing Number
Currently we need to port our existing number to another mobile operator. One time administration fee will apply unless waive by the mobile operator due to promotion. It takes one working day to port the existing number to another telco. Your existing mobile number will then appear on another party's caller-ID when you Call, SMS or MMS.

Ported Already
Subscribers who have switched operators and currently have their calls forwarded from their old mobile numbers, will be moved to the new service for free. From April 22, the telcos will start informing the 130,000 subscribers using the call-forwarding service to decide which number they would like to keep. They will have until May 14 to decide, and the migration will be completed by June 13.

Telcos will offer more competitive prices and plans in their bid to keep their existing subscribers. There will not be any price war but of course there will be promotions to lure consumers to switch Telcos.

Broadband Access for all

Recently I listen to the BBC World pocast and the commentor was talking about giving more broad band access to the America public during the current general election. The America public wanted to have better access to broad band access as presidential election is also been fighted online through YouTube and social networking webite like Myspace, Facebook and many others. America should look at the Singapore Government model of our Wireless@SG network where users can access the wifi network for free. As long you have a laptop with wifi network capability and find a hotspot with the Wireless@SG network logo, you can access the net for free.
