Did you notice that in order to have “the latest news in Singapore”; you have to tell the website:

  1. Your Birthday
  2. Your HOUSEHOLD income
  3. Your Profession (19 choices)
  4. Your Interests in Singapore (which is by the way restricted to only 6… Travel, Study, Investment, Career, Entertainment or Arts)

Better still… “Best viewed using Internet Explorer 5.0 or Netscape 4.0 and above, with 800×600 screen resolution.

Oh my goodness !!! How backward is that ? Is that representative of Singapore who is hosting the first Formula One Night Race (which is another ridiculous event with super powerful, energy sucking lamps making the area brighter than noon time…)

My goodness Tuesday, 07-11-2006 !!! 7th Nov 2006 ???

 

 

By the way…I am not kidding… we are warming up the world !

The Marina Bay Street Circuit in Singapore is fitted with nearly 1,500 lighting projectors, illuminating the 5.067km track with light that is four times brighter than a football stadium at night.

The lighting provides 3000 lux of light (light intensity), compared to 800 lux for football stadium and 30 lux for street lighting
