If you are a frequent at Delirium, you would have noticed that the site has been quiet for about a week.I was away at Singapore for a workshop and hardly had time to blog or even go online proper. Anyway..Im not a fan of the country simply because of the lifestyle and the food is poor as compared to home but hey..a Singaporean would say the same about that(nothing tops home) .

While i was there the one thing i enjoy about the country is how organized and well planned everything is.The list goes on and on and on but im going to choose the transportation system because i had to use the public transport to shuttle myself around. I toke a lot of cabs to move around and i must say its awesome. Stop a cab and get in, tell the dude where your heading and he takes you there with a meter to give you cost.The cabs are clean and some cabbies are not the friendliest but at least they keep their mouths shut and take you where you need to go as fast as they can.
Why are they so dicipled? Have a look at the signages all over the country above.
Fear Factor always works.If something is hard to fix, enforce it hard and eventually everyone will abide.Especially if its something fundamental..ie transportation system.
This is a small part of it. The trains,busses and cabs actually compliment each other very well. They are all connected and that is simply a sign that its a well planned .Awesome work!
Excuses like they are a small country and all are not good enough anymore, are smaller states as good as that small country?

Yesterday i went to get my car serviced and i met this guy who was from Singapore who was also servicing his car. We started off with us talking about our cars and if i felt it was good and he was constantly whining about the horrible quality of his Toyota Altis was. Then slowly the topic changed too life in Singapore v life in Malaysia.

Read the story below, amazing isn’t it? Maybe its a high level plot in not educating people on sex to keep the population under control, you wouldn’t a overflow isn’t it
The best part for me was how some claim to have had sex more then 1000 times but when they were examined, they were still virgins!! wooohoooo….champions!
MANY Singaporeans have been seeking help from doctors on how to have sexual intercourse, Sin Chew Daily reported yesterday.
Singapore Thomson Medical Centre (TMC) founder Dr Cheng Wei Chen said the hospital received several people every month, mostly university graduates, seeking their guidance on how to “do it”.

Now everyone can fly cheap to Singapore. AirAsia got the nod from the Government yesterday to operate two flights daily to the republic. For me its long overdue! Now this could pave the way for much more possibilities.Being a fan of the AirAsia model and the story so far this is truly another feather in the already crowded hat.

Malaysian Transport Minister Chan Kong Choy expressed dismay at the breach of security at Malaysia’s main airport.
“I am very unhappy,” Chan was quoted by The Star as saying. “Such an incident should not occur, as the airport area has tight security.
Obviously not that tight eh!

Some 10 years after remarking that Singapore might rejoin Malaysia if the island state’s economy faltered and if Malaysia pursued meritocracy, Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew has again spoken on the subject.
“They have got all the resources. If they would just educate the Chinese and Indians, use them and treat them as their citizens, they can equal us and even do better than us and we would be happy to rejoin them,” Lee said.
