Neale Donald Walsch and Tommy Wong’s books
If you like Neale Donald Walsch’s books “Conversations with God”, the chances are that you will also like Tommy Wong’s books “Wisdom on How to Live Life” because both sets of books are written in amusing dialogue format and both advocate similar spiritual concepts.
Tommy Wong’s books are currently on promotion and can be ordered here.

www.gothere.sg
A few people have recommended the use of www.gothere.sg. I tried it and found it to be very good, perhaps better than Google Maps Singapore. You can enter, for example, "Promenade MRT to Marina Bay Sands" and it shows the map, bus service, travel time and fare.
Distance based fare
I benefited from the new distance based fare on a bus trip from Marina Bay Sands to Stamford Road (to change to the MRT line). In the dark, I got down the bus 2 stops ahead of City Hall MRT. Realising my mistake, I took the next bus for the 2 stops. On alighting the bus, I found that the fare charged by the second bus was $0.00 as the fare for the total distance travelled was already covered by the fare deducted from the first bus.
Although this would appear to be a good idea, I felt that it was unnecessary and wasteful to incur the expenses of changing to the distance based fare. It would have been sufficient to increase the transfer rebate under the old system. The high cost of changing the system must be reflected in the higher fares that commuters have to pay over the long run.

Countdown timer at pedestrian crossing
The countdown timer at pedestrian crossing is now quite common in Singapore. It is useful in telling the pedestrian the time left before the light change from green to red.
I first saw the countdown timer in China about 20 years ago. I felt that it was a great idea and should be implemented in Singapore. Someone wrote to the newspaper to suggest this timer be installed. I remembered the official reply at that time - it was unnecessary and could be counter-productive. I could not understand the reasoning at that time, but felt that it was typical of the kind of convoluted thinking that was quite common in Singapore.
The official view was quietly changed many years later, and we now see the useful timer in many places.

New tyres at the rear
If you change two new tyres, put the new tyres at the rear of the vehicle and move the old tyres to the front.
