A Slow Coach To A Schizophrenic "Suku" (Mad) Island Filled With Tortoises (New)

An Unsearchable And Mysterious Renoma Brand
Try googling "Renoma" and it draws a complete blank.

Other than sites advertising sales of its bags and underwear, there isn't a farthing information about the company, its history or an official website.

Other brands like Skinxwear, Diesel, BUM. 2(x)ist and C-In2 are readily found but not Renoma. So what the hell is it?

Sexual Minorities Have The Same Rights As Ethnic Minorities And A Comprehensive Sex And Sexuality Education Will Acknowledge Just That
In the light of the recent AWARE saga, I only wanna highlight a few salient points.

One, there is nothing wrong with providing a comprehensive sex and sexuality education program. It is not about promoting homosexuality but about education and acknowledging homosexuality.

After all just like ethnic minorities, sexual minorities must be accorded the same rights to be heard and understood.

That is all we are asking for - to be heard, understood, acknowledged and accepted. We are no different from anyone except for our different sexual tastes and preferences.

Orchard Central's Other Attraction
Of course. You always hear it from me first.

If you didn't already read about it from the press, Orchard Central boasts of a brand new, world's tallest indoor vertical rock climbing wall which has iron rungs known as the Ferrata (Italian for "iron road").

You can also do the normal climb but purportedly the iron rung way is more difficult.

By the way, after doing a little research of my own, I found out that the world's highest natural ferrata and Asia's first is located on Mt Kinabalu or what is nick-named Mt Torq, which is none other than our East Malaysian Sabahan neighbor.

What OC has for adventure climbing reminds me of the Kallang Leisure Park where you can bowl or ice skate. This kinda shopping mall concept is also endemic to Kuala Lumpur and BangKok.

If you have visited Times Square in KL, you will remember it for its roller-coaster ride of a theme park set within a mall.

Thus it is nothing new, just that we are much slower, that is all. Like having a light-up train itinerary on our subways or a foreign university campus on local shores.

Even our malls' lighting up like the OC and the Ion Orchard are nothing new when compared to Japan, Taiwan and HongKong who with their combined late night neonic flashes probably beat us hands down.

Is Singapore Fast Becoming A Schizophrenic Nation With Multiple Split Nationalities?
When I peeked into a Fitness First branch at The Cathay, I couldn't help noticing how it was largely staffed by Filipinos.

The same thing recently happened at California Fitness too. They congregate and chat among themselves and in loud tones at that.

At Jurong Point, the new wing has opened but the foreign workers are still here. Within the mall and milling outside its periphery, sitting, eating, drinking and chatting or just hanging out in big groups.

An entourage of SMRT staff consisting of China nationals and only one Indian national filed past me in the mall.

So when will the national sovereignty of the people ever see the light of day?
