Comments:
I know this movie has been out for quite some time and people may find the objective of posting this review pointless. I think it is okay as i just want to share my point of views to those who may be interested in the released DVD or VCD.

I find this movie quite nice. It is a little bit like a sad love story. I think that the girls will like it and the boys will not. Some people find the movie boring because there are many issues that seems to be rather "weird". The answer will only be revealed in the last part of the movie. There is also a slight twist of the movie at the conclusion. It seems to be abit ridiculous when compared that it will not happen in reality. However i felt that it is, at least, an interesting ending.

When compared to many other moives that is released nowadays, i felt that this is one of the movie that is worth my tickets. Personally i love this movie. It is highly recommended that you all should take a look at it.

Introduction:
When Tiong Barhu Market has reopened in 2006, it is no longer not a market that is stinky. It has changed. One thing that has n
ot changed is the nice food out there. Things has just changed for the better. all the Tiong Bahru favourites, including chwee kuay, fried kway tow and roasted meats, are still keeping the masses happy. There are 83 hawker stalls on the second storey of the three-storey building. The first storey - wet market and retail stalls) and there are 1,440 seats. 3rd

What’s Good:

The food. There are so many choices there that one cant finish in a week!

The cleanliness - no longer wet and dirty and smelly.

Better facilities - Escalators, lifts and car park.



What’s not so Good:

Too much queue. Have to spend some time for good food.

Price Guru




Website:
http://www.petrolwatch.com.sg/priceguru.htm


Introduction:
Petrol watch is a website that talks about petrol prices, cars, police watch and much more. There are also forums and a classified corner for the members to interact with each other.


I am particularly looking at the site that i quoted (Price Guru) as it compares all the petrol in Singapore and their promotion. The Price Guru tells you how much and how you can save in each and every combination. This provides everything in a glance with all the tabulated information and results. Although it seems like they are just 0.x % or 1~2% apart, but i t really makes a great difference when u pump in large quantities. Thats a lot of savings.


What’s Good:

Information is gathered, analyzed and tabulated and all displayed in one page for the users to see.

Everything in one glance and is easy to know what is the what card at what petrol station (brand) gets the best offers There is even a conclusion made for every brand of petrol.

Great effort made as some of the information doesn't really appear on the petrol stations' official website.


What’s not so Good:

Most of the functions needs to log in as a member.
