Something to share - Free Parking at Marina Bay Link Mall

Today, I had lunch at Cedele, Marina Bay Link Mall, found out that there is free parking for the first 4 hours. This is valid until 17th May 2011 for weekdays after 6pm, Saturday, Sunday and Public Holidays. All you have to do is to produce a receipt at the Concierge Counter. What's best is that no minimum spending is required! I saw that the person in front of me only spent S$3.40 and the parking for Saturday is already S$3. I wish more malls will have this 'weekend free parking'. LOL.

I was also quite surprised to see an empty Ding Tai Fung. The branch that I usually patronise is Paragon and it is always very crowded and noisy. Next time I will visit the outlet at Marina Bay Link Mall instead. It was almost empty when we past by during lunch time! This place is great for a nice long lunch with couple of good friends. We also popped over to Apple shop which is just opposite Cedele; their ipads are sold out! Madness!

7th May 2011 is Polling Day!

Close to 2.35 million Singaporeans are eligible to vote! Do you have to vote? Check your name in the Register of Electors

Some of my friends lamented that they never had a chance to vote. But ever since I reached the legal age of 21, I have the chance to vote at every elections. LOL.

Which consituency do you belong to?

R.I.P. Delly

The second CPU that had died on me. Delly had served me well for the past 4 or 5 years. Fortunately I had recently done a backup of the photos from Delly to Lenovo.

What would I do if I lost the photos?

Weekday carpark charges in Orchard

Something useful to share!

I am contemplating of running some errands at Orchard Road during one of the weekday afternoons, I wish to know the cheapest carpark. I googled and found this Carpark charges in Orchard. So I proceeded to calculate the cheapest carpark charge in Orchard on a weekday afternoon, assuming that I'll only need to park for 3 hours.

The most expensive carpark - Hilton Hotel

S$7 per hour until 5.59pm

Additional S$10 for valet parking

Total fee for 3 hours is S$21/-

The cheapest carpark - Scape Building

S$1.28 per hour from 7am to 4.59pm

Total fee for 3 hours is S$3.84

The downside is, this may be a little far if we are going to Wheelock Place/Scotts area.

The "worth the money" carpark - Tangs

If you are going to park for more than 3 hours, Tangs is cheaper because it goes by the per minute charge 

S$0.05 per minute

For 3 hours, it costs S$9

And if we need to park for more than 5 hours, this is the place!! It is only S$15/- (for the whole day) until 5.59pm.

The most complicated parking charges goes to Ngee Ann City

1) Monday to Friday

12.01am to 12pm and 2.01pm to 5pm

S$1.28 per 30 mins or part thereoff

12.01pm to 2pm

S$1.82 per 30 mins or part thereof

5.01pm to 7pm

S$1.82 per 30 mins or part thereof

7.01pm to 12 am

S$4.28 per entry

2) Saturdays, Sundays and Public Holidays

12.01am to 12pm and 2.01pm to 5pm

S$2.57 for first hour and S$1.61 for subsequent half hour

12.01pm to 2pm and 5.01pm to 7pm

S$3.64 for first hour and S$2.14 for subsequent half hour

Sunday randoms

Today, I found....

1) .... 5 covers lens filters (besides the 77mm Polarizer and UV filter, where had the rest gone to?)

2) and that I MAY have to 'upgrade' my dry box. That little space is for my 500D body and 24-105mm lens.

Zip Lock Bags

I bought the wrong size of zip lock bags the other day. It is too small and it came in 50 pcs!

But I made good use of it ; see what I can do with these 16.8cm X 8.3cm zip lock bags (:

N.E.A.T!!

Live Life Light

Since touching down in Singapore on Friday midnight, I have been working non-stop from Saturday. And this evening, as I was working hard in the office, I badly needed a sugar fix for a booster! There! Sipping on a Coke Light, I noticed these words "Live Life Light" on the can which so resembles KK's blog title "Life, Love and Light" :D

And I am dedicating this post to Light Painter KK. Happy Birthday!
