Cinderella's Horse Carriage found!!!

Does this look like a Cinderella's Horse Carriage to you?
It's look so fairytale to me... Then where is Cinderella?

Just joking, there is no Cinderella. This Horse Carriage is just for display for people to take photo at the Singapore Turf Club. Yesterday (17 Jul 2011), I was invited to the Singapore Turf Club to witness the Emirates Singapore Derby- one of the top horse races that is held annually at the Kranji Racecourse in Singapore every mid-July.

This race was staged left-handed on turf and is contested over 2400 metres of 1.24 miles or 10 furlongs. The race was open to four-year-old race hoses only.

Fund-raising remains an important element of the Emirates Singapore Derby. This year, Emirates hopes to raise at least $100,000 to benefit five voluntary welfare organisations under the umbrella of the Community Chest of Singapore. Fundraising activities include the pre-sale of donation tables and outright donations.

Interviewing the winner, Powell. It was a second Derby win for Powell who took the race in 2005 aboard Hello And Goodbye.

He paid tribute to Clint when he said after the race: "I was always a bit worried about catching Better Than Ever in the straight when I got out but to Clint's credit he fought hard and continued to cover the line all the way to the winning post."

See what we got?

Ya it was a nicely printed photo for us to bring home...

So nice... =) Photobucket

INTERVIEW WITH MR WORLD SINGAPORE 2022 (SENIOR): S3 UMAR ABDUL HAMID

 1) During your entire time of Mr World Singapore 2022 from the time you auditioned till you won the title, tell us - what was the most overwhelming moment for you? Personally, as the grand final day drew nearer, and diet and water had to be stricter, it was hard trying to keep up with the nutrition portion as well as the rest and recovery portion. Aside from that, i was starting to feel a little more anxious that i should and a huge part of it was because i invited my mother to be part of the audience and i wanted the event to be memorable for her. But i guess everything was worth it in the end.  2) What was the prep process like? From the auditions all the way to the Grand Finals, i knew i had to step up as prior to the audition, i let myself go quite abit because of the fact that i was juggling between work and handling my 3 children. But i guess after the audition. i made a clear intent to give 100% to get ready for the grand finals and since then, i made more conscious de...

My Honest Review of the LUMOS Tablet — Budget-Friendly, Surprisingly Capable

I’ve always had a soft spot for discovering local tech gems — and that’s how I stumbled onto the LUMOS Tablet. You probably know LUMOS for their projectors, but they’ve recently launched a tablet that caught my attention. Spoiler: For the price, it actually delivers. Here’s my personal take after using it for a couple of weeks — plus the specs you’ll want to know. ⸻ First Impressions Unboxing the LUMOS Tablet felt like a good start. It has a 10.1-inch Full HD IPS Display (1920 x 1200), which immediately stood out — bright, clear, and vibrant enough for Netflix marathons or YouTube spirals. The tablet weighs around 500g and has a sleek, modern design that doesn’t feel cheap at all. It’s light enough to toss in your tote or backpack without feeling like you’re carrying a brick. ⸻ Under the Hood – Technical Specs Here’s a quick look at what powers this tablet: • Processor: Octa-Core 2.0GHz • RAM: 4GB • Storage: 64GB (expandable up to 256GB via MicroSD) • Operating System: ...
