    There is a surreal beauty about the vast reservoir on Laos' Nakai plateau. Authorities are hoping the body of water half the size of Singapore, under a huge sky, surrounded by range upon range of blue-green hills clothed in tropical jungle, will eventually attract tourists. On a study trip organised by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the Nam Theun 2 Power Company (NTPC) last year, a group of journalists from the region including The Straits Times were given extensive access to the reservoir, the dam and power station, and relocated villagers, most of whom are 'Vietic' people; Laos is a…

At first, the task seemed straightforward. Analyse how politicians use social media in Singapore.  Simple enough. The team had already done "social media scanning” and “thematic analysis” on the Presidential election few months back. Why not use the frameworks and techniques which we had used for the previous project? Not…

The news in question was the arrests of two top civil servants by the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB).

    Ivy
    8 Jan 2012 | 8:57 am
    Happy 2012, everyone! My new year resolution came early — in November 2011. It’s to treat my body better. I’ve had a terrible track record at taking care of my body. Having been plagued by an autoimmune disease for a decade, my body has always seemed more like a liability than an asset to me. It doesn’t help that I naturally enjoy spending a lot of time developing my mind either. The only thing I do fairly well in recent years is that I pay attention to what I eat. But then I got really inspired. While flipping through the boyfriend’s e-book collection, I stumbled…

    Singapore’s UOB finally launched its mobile banking app today. I use UOB as my primary credit card, so I’ve been waiting for their mBanking app for a long time. I was able beta test the app a couple days before the launch date, and I have to say it was well worth the wait! UOB has definitely put a lot of care into the user experience by making sure that there’s something for everyone. For credit card customers One of the main reasons I use UOB cards is for its incredible promotions. The mobile banking promotions section is very useful for me. The best thing about it is that…

For those of you who’ve not heard about GovCamp, it’s place for people to talk about eGovernment initiatives or how governments can use tech to better engage citizens, businesses and other stakeholders. The topics in the breakout sessions mostly revolve around social media and open data. I’m not going to spare many words on social media here, since it’s been talked to death and is really not the rocket…

  • Political Divisiveness — A Matter of Time

    Ivy
    5 Nov 2011 | 10:35 am
    After reading on the recent debates on Occupy Wall Street in the US and watching the parliamentary speeches in Singapore, I’ve gained a new perspective on political divisiveness. I always assumed that political division was just a bunch of old farts vs a legion of hippies. Actually, it’s not too far off, but there’s a more profound (and useful) way of perceiving this divisiveness. It’s time. To be more precise, how we value and invest time. The left-leaning rhetoric — things like We are the 99% or the debut parliamentary speech by Singapore’s opposition MP…

    I just came back from an panel discussion organized by the Creators of Tomorrow. Their aim is to inspire more kids to become engineers. I can’t comment on the profession, since I’m no engineer. But what struck me at the event was the disconnect between the panel of professionals and the audience of high school kids. The professionals shared the ins and outs of business of engineering — how to climb the ladder, how much money can be made, and what are the viable career paths. On the other side, the audience is made up of 16 year olds whose most immediate concern is getting an…

    It's been over a week since my last blog post - about packing - and its not because I am lazy, as that is far from the truth! This packing business is taking on huge proportions and is far bigger than we first realised.  The packing is much harder 'going back' than when we first moved over and I have no idea why. Am sure we have a more now than when we first arrived in February 2007.For those considering a relocation or thinking about becoming an expat, be warned. If you decide to move OS for just a couple of years - travel lightly. The #1 piece of advice you hear from frequent…

Drawing its name from its halcyon locale within the Ginger Garden at Singapore Botanic gardens.I think the main attraction for The Halia would be the setting, no one could resist such an atmosphere. Sitting in this particular restaurant of an evening, shared with good company within the Botanical Gardens. Truly a delight.Taking the helm at The Halia’s new kitchen is…

Since then I have said countless goodbyes.... none of them being any easier.It is hard for each and everyone of us, people that have not been 'expats' will never have the understanding of what it is like to be constantly saying GOODBYE.  As expats we make short and very intense relationships wherever we may be living, they may not be 'life long friends' from our school days, but they are equally as important for they have more understanding of what our lives are like today.

    I returned home on the eve of my wedding anniversary to find my son sucking green ink from a colouring pen, my daughter in the bathroom trying to pee standing up - "But this is how you pee, Daddy" - and my wife making dinner plans with a girlfriend for the following evening because she had forgotten it was our anniversary. Sandy's dinner date duly postponed, she acquiesced to accompany yours truly for a simple Chinese meal with the kids to celebrate nine years of marriage. When we explained the reason for the dinner to Olive, she said: "Mummy, when you get married again can I wear a princess…

  • life is sweet

    Oh, the dilemmas of a parent ... This morning’s dilemma — there are several a day — is concerning sweets or candy. Olive has just started at a new preschool and now takes a school bus to kindergarten. It’s a small bus, actually an MPV, and she has close friends on the bus, and a very kind driver and a ‘bus aunty’ to look after the kids. The problem is the bus aunty dishes out candy to the toddlers every day and even helps the little ones unwrap the sweets. We consider this rather odd but evidently we are alone. We only allow Olive to eat sweets as a treat, she has to understand…

  • First day at school (again)

    islandhippy
    2 Jan 2012 | 7:11 pm
    This morning Olive donned a new school uniform and caught the school bus for her first day at Maris Stella Kindergarten. Located opposite the Botanic Gardens at the entrance to Dempsey Village on Holland Road, Maris Stella is a Catholic preschool established by Franciscan missionaries in 1954. Olive has been so excited about taking a school bus "without Mummy and Daddy" and this morning she was thrilled when a bright red Merc MPV pulled up to collect her and her buddies Jill and Julia who live next door. I dread to think what mischief these three monkeys will get up to on the school bus.

    Had a great time ringing in the Year of the Dragon.  Enjoyed a cocktail on the beach, came up with some good New Years resolutions, saw the most stunning sunset, enjoyed a "romantic" thai dinner and cheered on the fire dancers!Jen and I kept joking that we felt like we were on a honeymoon together as the resort was full of couples, the sunsets were romantic, the restaurants had live bands crooning romantic ballads every night, and we were somehow upgraded to a honeymoon suit!

The water was the perfect temperature for a hot day in Thailand - mildly warm bath water. We then cycled to the hot spring waterfall where the water temp was much warmer at 40 degrees.  The mineral hot springs is supposed to have magical healing powers and youth enhancing properties so Jen and I stayed in a little longer then recommended in order to get the maximum anti-aging benefits.  We both…
