Round About - Rarely saw this kind of road in US. The rule is always let the vehicle on your right go first. But in real, be careful, it is not that simple. Every entrance has 3 potential directions. Some drivers may not follow the rule and try to beat the right. On the map ( © StreetDirectory), it is under the AYE freeway. This Round About can also be in local traffic. It is even worse. Some cars may just stop anywhere as their convenience with Emergency Light on. Emergency Light - The signal that both right and left turn signal is blinking on the car. It suppose to be used only in emergency. Not the case in Singapore. All taxi drivers and many other drivers love to use it when they want to stop anywhere. The most shit one is stopping in the lane during the rush hour. There are only 2 lanes and traffic is heavy. However, you can't tell, because the emergency light is on, if it is an emergency or not.

Because Singapore is such a small island, and people do enjoy the crowd and air-con in the shopping malls, no online shopping here. Some online bookstores are history. Ebay Singapore, not sure how is it, but as an EBayer in US, I never use EBay Singapore. In US, more and more people are online shopping. I enjoy it too. The selection is large and good, the price usually is very attractive, some even offer free shipping within the continental, the customer service is the best in the world. My friends told me the online business is also booming in China. People are buying books, booking trips online. Online shopping do save the hassle if you know what you want to buy already. One example is StreetDirectory . It provides very informative Singapore locale maps. The site is trying to create some online profit, but I doubt it works. The publications from StreetDirectory are enough. I wish Google or Yahoo can sponsor this site and make it faster. It is just too slow now.

From her first debut in "My Parents", Zhang Ziyi is recognized by international movie industry. The "Crouching tiger, Hidden Dragon" brings her to the front stage by Director Li An. Afterwards, she also acts in top buzz movies such as "Rush Hours II", "The House of Flying Dagger", "2046", and recently, the most ambitious and most controversial movie "Geisha". I haven't watched the "Geisha" movie. In the previous movies, I can't really say she is a good actress. All her characters are cool, no expression pussycat. But she is the only one in the loop. Other Chinese actresses can express their no interests in Hollywood but once get a role, become a happy girl with a candy. She is also a very special actress, especially considering she was born and brought up in China. She doesn't give a damn to her Chinese colleagues' comments. Many Chinese actors and actresses think she is too ambitious and aggessive, b

Orchard Road has lots of department store and upscale malls. You can buy any kinds of world famous brands here. I was hoping there is some holiday sale. Not really. Even after 20% off, some luxury items are still very expensive. Anyway, Orchard Road doesn't lack the smell of holiday. X'mas tree, deco, and lots of people.

Watched on Animal Planet channel, to get laid, a male Rhino tries very hard, steps on its own shit to mark the territory, horny to femaie Rhino to get lucky. Unfortunately the female only has one baby Rhino every 3 years, and not so interested in this business. The male sometimes gets so frustrated, and kicks around other small animals. Even the male Rhino gets lucky, because of the clumsy size, it falls off from female's back. LOL.

Changi Airport is the one of the best airports in Asia. Even it is not that large compared to some others, the good thing is you won't get lost. It has 2 terminals. Terminal one seems older, most Asian airline landed here. I went there last Sunday at 5AM. It takes about 30-45 minutes to drive from NTU (west of Singapore) to Changi Airport (east of the country) on PIE. Terminal 2 is more modern and beautiful. There are lots of deco, especially the beautiful orchid flowers. There are many duty-free shops as well. Singapore Airline landed on terminal two. The airport will give you a good impression about Singapore's hot and humid weather. When the automatic door slides, and you are standing outdoor for the first time in this country, you will feel it :) After a week, you will get used to it.
