About a picture

The picture shows many children playing happily with the water at Bugis Junction Water Fountain. The weather must be very hot so lots of children went to the water fountain to use the water to cool themselves down. All the children under the water fountain and all their clothes are wet but they don't mind. There's lots of shop around the water fountain,most of the adult is looking at them, i think they also want to join the kids to cool themselves down but they can't, maybe they do not have dry clothes.

Singapore!

HDB flats are uniquely Singaporean as it was designed to maximise land space in a small country by compacting residents in tall buildings. Void decks are spacious areas beneath HDB flats that are meant to promote racial and religious cohesion between neighbours. The elderly can mingle and play chess, while the children can play with each other. Singapore is a Multi-racial Multi-religious Community.

Singapore is a Clean and Green City. In Singapore we uses SINGLISH is widely spoken among Singaporeans and is actually made up of many languages the multicultural groups in Singapore speak, such as Chinese dialects, Malay and Tamil.

Singapore is known to be a Food Paradise with many kinds of local food reflecting our unique multicultural society. Singapore offers everyone a variety of favourites to choose from: Roti Prata, Nasi Briyani, Chicken Rice, Hokkien Mee, and Satay to many Western delicacies. The Singaporean salad, or Rojak, is a specialty as it symbolises the mixing of different cultures. The sweet peanut sauce poured over the Rojak salad represents a spirit of unity between different groups of people.

Myths and legends

I have read 'How the Bear Lost his Tail' and 'Big Turtle'.

'How the Bear Lost his Tail' is about Bear who had a beautiful, long, furry tail. He thought it was really cool. He laid it out behind him and people had to walk round it. People thought Bear was very vain, but they were frightened of his big claws and didn't want to make him angry.

FOOD!

Chicken rice
It’s everywhere, at hawker stalls, food courts, luxury hotels and even at the zoo, but Singaporeans just can’t get enough of it. Chicken rice is often called the “national dish” of Singapore. Steamed or boiled chicken is served atop fragrant oily rice, with sliced cucumber as the token vegetable. Variants include roasted chicken or soy sauce chicken. Don’t miss out on the dipping sauces,premium dark soy sauce, chili with garlic, and pounded ginger. Play around with different combinations to discover new tastes.
Char kway teow
There is no stopping Singaporeans from indulging in this high-fat hawker favorite. Flat rice noodles stir-fried with lard (for best flavor), dark and light soy sauce, chilli, de-shelled cockles, sliced Chinese sausage, bean sprouts, Chinese chives and sometimes prawns and egg. Essential to the dish is good “wok hei” or breath of wok, the qualities and tastes imparted by cooking on a wok using high heat. Many now choose to omit the cockles but char kway teow will always be incomplete without the sinfully rich fried pork lard pieces.
Fried Hokkien mee
Yet another dish favored by hardworking laborers of the past. Thick yellow egg noodles mixed with rice vermicelli are cooked in a rich seafood stock, and tossed with prawns, squid, small strips of pork belly and deep-fried lard pieces. A small kalamansi lime is always given should you prefer some tangy juice to cut through the greasiness of the dish.
BBQ chicken wings
In many a hawker center, you will see rows of chicken wings glistening and turning on a roasting spit. Singaporeans love ordering these wings as a side dish, frequently as a large plate to share among family and friends. Best eaten hot and with a garlic chili dip. A spritz from calamansi limes add sweet tang to the wings. This finger food is great with beer or sugarcane juice.
Satay
This is Southeast Asia’s rendition of the kebab with a few unique twists. There’s the peanut dip, sweet and spicy. The marinade of local spices that totally transforms the meat. The thin wooden skewers made of bamboo or stem of coconut leaves. And the refreshing sides of chopped raw cucumber and onions, along with ketupat (rice cakes steamed in woven coconut leaves). It’s a joy to watch your satay being grilled over an open charcoal fire. The aroma heightens the anticipation and the enjoyment.

Aircraft accident forum

THE inaugural International Accident Investigation (IAI) Forum has started on Wednesday morning in Singapore.
Scheduled to take place once every three to five years, the three-day forum will also kick-start Singapore's efforts to anchor a series of international accident investigation events here. Hosted jointly by the Air Accident Investigation Bureau of Singapore and the Singapore Aviation Academy, the theme is, 'Investigation in the New State Safety Programme Environment'.
With Mr Choi Shing Kwok, the Permanent Secretary for Singapore's Ministry of Transport, gracing the ceremony, more than 160 chief aircraft accident investigators, senior investigation officials and experts from over 29 countries, and six international and regional organisations, will take part in the forum.
They will discuss topics such as the State Safety Programme (SSP), recent amendments to the International Civil Aviation Organisation's (ICAO) standards for international investigation, international cooperation, challenges in major accidents, and sharing and protection of safety information.
Mr Choi said: 'More are making air travel their mode of choice for long-distance trips. Last year, 2.3 billion people took to the skies. It is for this reason that we need to make air travel as safe as possible, and this includes enhancing our ability to discharge our investigation obligations.
'The required skill sets for accident investigators in the 21st century has also evolved significantly. Accident investigators need to have a stronger network of exchanges to facilitate the sharing of resources and experience in order to cope with the new challenges.'
On Singapore's contributions, he added: 'Three years ago...Singapore was offering its flight recorder readout service to other aviation authorities at no cost. My Ministry's Air Accident Investigation Bureau had then just set up its flight recorder readout facility at a cost of about $500,000.
'So far, the Bureau has assisted in the reading out of 13 foreign flight data recorders and 17 foreign cockpit voice recorders. My Ministry not only fully supports such sharing of resources by the Bureau but encourages more of it to take place. In fact, we have recently invested another $250,000 to upgrade these capabilities.'
