I am creating a new thread for the new bus services launched by LTA/PTOs including bus route extensions.

Considering we end up opening a new thread everytime a new bus service is announced, it could make sense to have all those discussions in one thread. 

We can start discussion here of the 5 new services LTA is launching by end of this year. I have done some research on the areas marked out for these services that I will post here. This can give us an estimate of where these services will ply.

To start with the 5 areas mentioned are:

Loyang

Kallang

West Cost

Jurong East

Bukit Batok

Hi mr SMB3095S, that is a good one. I believe they will announce this 117 after the hype for joo koon has cooled down after the interchange opens this weekend and is used for 2 weeks! Cheers. Thanks. 

It seems that nowadays, there is a proliferation of such courses here, judging from newspaper advertisements every week.

Just to name a few, courses conducted by Jaz Lai, Fabian Lim, Ivan Ong, Andrew Tan (Qoo10) and Terrance Tan.

I have attended a few of thier sales talk. Is it that simple and easy to make money online as what they claim?

And these courses are not cheap. At least 2k. If they manage to enrol 50 per talk, they could easily make $100,000 not forgetting they could make even more when they upsell more products at the end of  the training class which I believe there is.

Has anyone attended and would like to share their experiences here?

It is always good to hear from both sides.

From the number of views H2 Chemistry threads on this forum has garnered, it's pretty clear that hundreds of lurkers (presumably and hopefully the majority of whom are actual JC students) are interested in H2 Chemistry posts.

Well, to all you lurkers out there (especially if you're a JC student), here's a suggestion : Why don't *you* go ahead and post your own H2 Chemistry queries here.

Just register an account with SgForums, and feel free (it's literally free... of course, asking for free online help here... or for that matter anywhere... isn't as effective as actually joining my tuition, but it's still better than having no one reliable to ask for help... or if you disagree with your own private tutor or school teacher and wish to have a 2nd opinion that's reliable and trustworthy) to ask anything relevant to H2 Chemistry here.

For instance, if you wish to discuss a TYS qn or a JC Prelim qn (eg. if you don't understand or disagree with the answer given by the TYS author, or the prelim paper's mark scheme, or your school teacher's explanation. etc), you can just specify the question (eg. "2014 RJC P3 Q2" or "TYS 2014 P3 Q2" etc) and ask your question. If it's a non-TYS qn or non-Prelim qn that involves a diagram, you'll have to use your handphone to take a photo, and upload the image to your Facebook, Twitter, blog, etc, and link to the image in your post.

Terms & Conditions : Only genuine and reasonable questions from genuine and reasonable students asked in a genuinely and reasonably respectful manner will be replied to.

New members of SgForums won't be able to make new threads until you've reached a certain post count, so go ahead and post your H2 Chem qns in this thread till then.

What information are we lacking such that we cannot deduce its a 2nd order rxn?

Is it information of rate? What else?

Before you can be 100% sure, you'll need experimental data (such as the table given for OH radicals) for CH4 as well.

Hi there,

A friend of mine intro me into forex. He says it's the easiest way to invest and earn money. Becos it opens 24/5. Dived into it and got burnt very badly. However, I'm still very interested in this. I am thinking of going for a forex course to understand in depth about the pairs, indicators and all the other stuff, before I enter the market again. 

Anyone has any recommendations?

Hi guys, I need advise 

Im a 25 Year old male. ORD-ed, non-Smoker, healthy, very good saver. No obligations to spend my cash. Should I lock myself in a 25 years endowment plan?

Was planning on setting aside parts of my cash with this plan, and let it mature till Im 50 years old and get that lump sum.

Thoughts? Greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi all,

Hi all,

I'm Wing, a JCU psychology student looking for Singaporean participants (18 years and above) for my online survey on autism perception in relation to social media behaviour in Singapore.

The purpose of my study is to understand whether the use of social media affects or shapes one's attitude towards autism. I believe this is important as to date, there has been little research on this area despite an increasing rise in autism diagnosis. Hence with data collected, it can show us the general trends of local perception towards autism and whether that is influenced by social media behaviour that can potentially spark future research.

The reason why I'm reaching out to you on this forum is to gather participants with varying interests and backgrounds so that my study can be a better representative of the Singaporean population rather than just focusing on student population.

The link is: https://jcus.asia.qualtrics.com/SE/?...3RCTci5uZ20zT7

It would be great if you can fill up the survey if interested! Likewise, if you know anyone who would be interested in, please let them know about this survey. If you would like to know more about the study, feel free to PM me and I'll reply to your queries.

Thank you very much!

We usually hang out in the past , hang out , but one day we went clubbing with her other friends . Her friend touch touch me . She seem jealous then angry me no sent her home . Her best friend is around and stay nearer but both blame me. Headache .

Good friendship always lasts.

I usually see threads popping up on interchanges/depots and then die a natural death. If you want to tread back, becomes very difficult to find information. Hence, I thought it would be good to consolidate the information under one thread that can continue, and no need to have new threads every time (like Bulim thread opened almost three times).

I noticed we do not have a thread related to bus stops and there are many topics we could discuss here like:

1. Construction of new bus stops

2. Bus stop shelters

3. Bus stop displays

4. Proposing new bus stops

5. Relocation of bus stops

Star Wars : The Force Awakens is on track to becoming the biggest box office hit movie in the history of mankind... and no Force in the Galaxy can stop this from happening, except... a secret plot twist that makes Jar Jar Binks the main character of the movie, getting more screen time than all the Jedis, Siths and Ren Knights put together.

Got anyone here reject at least one girl before just because she's ugly or fat?

Greetings ! Not sure if I may double post this as my previous reply was not displayed.

If a guy rejects a girl who is fat or ugly , he is deemed to be heartless and shallow , women will demand that we MEN accept their flaws and that it would be morally obligated to do so . However , when a fat or ugly guy is rejected by the girl , guess what ? It's the guy's fault for being a delusional lazy slob and therefore the girl has all the rights to reject him and to DEMAND a better suitor . You see where I'm going with this ? Most of society accepts this kinds of double standards but you don't have to . So do not feel bad for rejecting a girl whom you are not physically attracted to for they will not even hesitate to shrug you off when the same is done to them . I must emphasis that inner beauty is truly what's most impt but , these days , finding a group of unicorns and flying pigs having a tea party with the three little pigs is easier then finding a genuinely decent girl that is right for you ! Hope I helped .

I am going to document some of my loading trips here.. Others are free to do so too..

Sv 141 - 8,04 am from Toa Payoh Interchange (13/2)

TPY Interchange - 28p

Lor 1 TPY - 34p, 30p, 23p

TPY Rise - 25p

Thomson Road - 24p, 19p, 20p, 25p, 26p, 27p, 29p (Novena MRT)

I alighted at Novena MRT.

I am now on 99 from joo koon. There are at least 30 plus pax when boarding at joo koon. Not much boarding on the first few stops. 

Japan is rolling out driverless cars 5 years later : http://asia.nikkei.com/Tech-Science/Tech/Japan-to-conduct-road-tests-with-eye-on-2020-Olympics.

Many of the countries that are charging very high taxi fares (like USA and Japan) are researching into driverless taxis.

Even in Singapore where taxi fares are 1/4 of the rates in Japan, there are researchers collborating with MIT people .

So would we be eliminated in 5-10 years time by robots and 50,000 pure Singaporeans jobs (which is like half-a million workers factories after considering 1:9 local foreigner ratio) be wiped out?

Few days ago , pick up a lecturer from NTU at fusionopolis. Told by him Singapore is looking into driverless taxi n even buses. Seminar already being held involving authorities. Maybe 5 years or later u might see driverless taxi in sg.

Since the earlier thread crossed 2000 posts.

As per e-tt, seems service 4,69,109,410 should get BSEP add. As per cbb, maybe sv 64 too as of July-14,2014.

Thanks for posting a quick update on the loading. It is not surprising that loading will be high towards Boon Lay Interchange. Surprise, surprise, why? It just copies route of 243W. This is the same argument of 143M/143/79. 143M can have some buses with very high loading, but then 143 at the back will be empty. 258 loading in this sector cannot be measured in isolation.

For 258 to be of use, the loading needs to be good between Joon Koon and Pioneer, and Pioneer and st 81. Otherwise it is a failed service. Actually, 258 could have just looped around Soon Lee / Kim Tian estate. Did not need to go to Joo Koon as you pointed out the loading in that sector is pretty low. 

Went out to try bus service 258 to Joo Koon Bus Interchange. Around ten people board at Street 81 and that's about it. Almost everyone alighted at Pioneer MRT Station bus stop.

Between Pioneer MRT Station and Joo Koon Bus Interchange, there is absolutely no boarding or alighting.

At Joo Koon Bus Interchange, a few people alighted, but I can tell you, they are only there to see the bus interchange.

Board another bus 258. Same scenario. No boarding or alighting, until Street 81.

Really, I do not think many people know that there is this bus service 258. If there is strong awareness, the loading between Joo Koon Bus Interchange and street 81 would be stronger.

There are a lot of people taking bus 182 at Upper Jurong Road. These people will take 258.

There would have been a lot of people taking 258 from street 81 to Pioneer MRT Station, but after they know the frequency, I think they don't want already.

An inside look at what it takes to be an officer in S'pore's Police Tactical Unit

Have you ever wondered what it takes to be an officer in the Singapore Police Force's Police Tactical Unit (PTU)? The PTU is a strategic force entrusted to maintain public order and public security in the event of civil disturbance and acts of terrorism.

A PTU officer spends over 800 hours a year in training, and all troopers undergo a two-month basic course followed by another three months of advanced training to acquire specialist-level skills before being certified as full-fledged PTU officers.

They also undergo frequent maintenance training to upkeep their operational readiness. Being a PTU officer is not just about physique. Mental development is equally important so that they remain resilient and composed in the face of danger.  

A PTU officer has to operate with his gear and equipment that can weigh up to 20kg. Therefore, being physically fit is very important to them and basic training helps build strength, stamina and agility.

They utilise crossfit training and cardiovascular fitness to improve and maintain their physical condition. The fire confidence course is one of many confidence-building components designed to help officers conquer fear and stay composed when confronted by an adversary, be it human or nature.

PTU officers are also taught the specialised technique of rappelling down from a building headfirst. The Singapore Police Force recently shared this all this information and photos on its Facebook page to educate the public on what it takes to be a PTU officer.
