2011: River Safari Park


A new attraction in Singapore Zoo is on the way: the River Safari Park. The work has begun, and is projected to be complete by 2011.

I would love this. I imagine the lush greeneries, and the life teeming in and on it, with the water itself as a haven of a multitude of fishes, the sight and sound will be magnificent!

Looking forward to this!

For some, feeding time for kids are almost always a battle. And if you are like that, you are not alone. Did you know what the solution was? Is?

Just like values, food is not taught - it is caught. What you eat is what your kids eat. How you eat will be seen, and imitated by your children.

So if you want your child to be all-around, well-nourished, healthy eater, be one. Your child will see it, and do just as well.

Short Takes on SG Ed System


"Remove the exams! They don't help a bit."

"Don't take away the exams! They have their own purposes."

And while everyone has a thought or two on the SG education system, others make it a point to voice out their opinion, drive the point, and most importantly, be heard.

Select My Own Subjects, Create My Own Curriculum?


If this 'freehand mode' is at all possible, just how many more teachers would you need? Anyway, there is a point being made here. And oh, how important it is again to strike the balance.

There is a time to avoid the sun, and at other times, to bask in it

Kids, take note. The sun is not always bad for you. You don't get Vitamin D from the sun, but it concentrates what you get from the food you eat.

 

Soak up sunlight in the early morning, 7am to 9am. Avoid the sun while it is blazing hot, or you'll get undesirable effects…

Revo Uninstaller: A Great Freeware!

 

I've been seeing my Secunia PSI report for some time, and it was telling me that my Office PC Macromedia Flash Player ActiveX was unsecure (take note, unsecure, not insecure). And since there is a link to an update, I clicked that. Not once, not twice, but many, many times! Can you imagine that? Even though I know that there are five options, one of which is the blog/forum link, I never bothered to go there.

 

But today, after 3x of re-installing the update, and still ending up with the same 'unsecure' message, I decided to go to the forum.

 

Voila!

 

That is where I found the key, the solution to the 'mysterious' no-change status of the ActiveX, despite numerous times of update and re-installation.

 

But that's not only the point. The good thing about forums is that you always get some by-products.

 

Which is why I write this blog now. I stumbled upon a new freeware, I haven't tried it, but the guys in the forum knew what they were doing, and as I've gone through the description of the product in their webpage, I'm putting it up for everybody who might want to grab it and use it. It is FREEWARE, and that makes a huge difference, when, after trying, you like the product and want to keep it, and use it for life, or until the better product comes. Mind you, it was described to be 'better' than the usual Windows Add/Remove utility, and anything that is 'better' than the incumbent may stay for long (if not swallowed up, choked dead, or squeesed dry).

 

So, here it is, Revo uninstaller!
