To top off the list is our latest classic Italian Tiramisu that is coffee-rich, super indulgent, ultra creamy and temptingly exquisite in each bite.

From $300 to $10 and then to $100,000

FROM $300 TO $10 AND THEN TO $100,000 A domestic helper was caught by a CISCO Officer drinking water in a MRT train. It is an offense to drink water in a MRT train in Singapore. The offense carries a fine of $300. The CISCO Officer is an Indian foreigner from Malaysia. The CISCO Officer told the domestic helper he was going to issue a summon to the accused. The domestic helper told him she would not be able to pay the $300 fine as she only had $10 with her. The CISCO Officer asked her to place the $10 on the desk and let her off. When the domestic helper employer found out about this corruption incident, she lodged a police report and the case was referred to CPIB. Now the CISCO Officer could faced a fine of $100,000 and jailed for up to 5 years. ---end of story---------- I found that a lot can be learnt from this true story. Commuters taking public transport like bus and MRT are not allowed to eat and drink which traveling in the bus or train. There are cameras everywhere while you are traveling in the bus or train. The Singapore Government take corruption very seriously especially officer helping to enforced the law. Signs showing no eating and drinking are everywhere in the train. I am not sure if the domestic helper is aware of this. Did the employer tell her that she is not supposed to drink and eat in the train or within the train station. It is important for foreigners to know the rules and regulation of the country he/she is in to avoid committing any unnecessary offense.

Never Put Thing On Keyboard of Laptop Computer

Just like to remind people never put thing on the keyboard of laptop. A friend of mine has to buy a new laptop because the screen cracked due to he left his earphone on the keyboard of his laptop and left to do something. His wife was busy preparing breakfast for their son. Not knowing the earphone was on the keyboard, she closed the laptop screen. As a result, the screen cracked. It is expensive to change the screen, so he changed to a new laptop. Just the other day, I was sharing this story with one of my colleague, he said one of his ex-staff had a similar experience. She has a stack of document with a paper-clip holding the document. The document was in between the keyboard and screen on the laptop she was carrying them to a meeting. After she opened up the screen of her laptop, she found her laptop screen cracked. In our multi-storey building, we need to travel from one floor to another for meeting at times. This is what we normally do when we have some document in hard copy and laptop to bring to a meeting. So be careful, never put anything in between the screen and keyboard of any laptop and close the screen.
