Celebrate Health, Fitness and Positivity, Stay Drug-free

The Anti-Drug Abuse Campaign 2015 celebrates its 20th Anniversary with a carnival held at Suntec City Convention Centre Hall 403 on 26 and 27 June (these two days).


There is a special 20th anniversary photo and timeline exhibition showcasing how the community and government have worked together since 1995 to raise awareness about the dangers of drugs and to rally support for the anti-drug cause. 


Visitors are able to make an anti-drug pledge using their own mobile devices and see their pledge projected onto the media wall at the carnival. You can submit your anti-drug pledge here. Anti-Drug Ribbon collar pins will be distributed at the carnival and other venues and can be worn to show your support for the anti-drug cause. 

What should you look out for at this carnival? It certainly has to be the mobile game application 'Nelzon' that has been developed by NYP students. The game was launched at the opening ceremony by Mr Masagos Zulkifli, Minister, Prime Minister's Office and Second Minister for Home Affairs and Foreign Affairs.

'Nelzon' is a runner game where a schoolboy Nelzon evades and battles the Evil Conscience. It is similar to the concept of Temple Run where you control a character and make jumps/slides to avoid obstacles and collect rewards. We tried it ourselves and we have to give credit to these students. Who says Singapore has no talent? Simple as it is, it serves its purpose of educating children about drugs and staying drug-free. If you are wondering, it is playable on both iOS and Android platforms.




Besides the movie game application, the public can try their hands at different activities that promote a healthy lifestyle.  Does this game look familiar? Yes, you usually find it at the arcades but now you also get to try it here! Besides this, there are also air slammers, shooting games and of course, dancing games!


Talking about dancing, the carnival is also held in conjunction with DanceWorks!, a dance competition involving youth participants from schools. It aims to engage youths in the anti-drug cause through dance and encouraging a healthy lifestyle. The theme for this year's competition is "Dance for a Drug-Free Singapore". Check out the champions for Category 1!

Sugar Rush Crew won the champion and they were also awarded the Best Choreographer Award, with Zhafir claiming the Best Dancer Award Individual. 1st Runner up was awarded to Yishun Minion Madness and 2nd Runner up  awarded to R.V Crew. Congratulations to all the winners and everyone who participated! DanceWorks! Category 2 is taking place tomorrow, so head on down to the carnival to show them your support.

    I'm also against drugs and I think it's terrible when people get hooked on it. It is best to use the same cannabis for medicinal purposes. For example, I use CBD Gummies for Sleep because I have big problems with sleep and it helps me. My sleep returned to normal and I began to feel better. I think you should try it too.

    Are you looking for something that will help you relax? I think I can help you in the search and suggest based on my experience. For a long time I was looking for a way to relax after working hard and I found this site https://www.westcoastsupply.net/products/cannabis/marijuana/indica/ where it is possible to purchase a means of relaxation in various forms. There is a description of the effects of this drug that you can also read and make your decision.

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: ...
