after the MP basic course's completed and its time for postings to the different companies then physical requirements are considered. even for consideration to the ceremonial company height is not an issue, since i'm only 1.73m i still got in. looks are though, cannot look too funny since we mount ceremonial guards, and no bow-legs. if u wear glasses u either have to get contact lenses or go without glasses on parade.

the only two ranks tat's desire by all pple, either u get commission or u stays as a men, if u get into sispec, Goodluck to u, pray hard u get into airforce not combat unit, if u heng heng draft into armour unit, esp AI... Hallelujah to u, get prepare to sign many many extra for lost equipment, failure to maintain vehicle, men's weapon dirty. many many safety spec duties for many many live firing, and believe me, armour got the most live firing outta every other vocation

2010 is probably the year to watch when people who bought in 2007 will see the TOP of their properties... read somewhere that 70% of the foreigners bought on DPS and that they form 22% of the buyers in 2007 (correct me if I'm wrong) .. also gather that these foreigners are the speculators chasing up the prices

CapitaLand profits fall 83% SINGAPORE - CAPITALAND, Southeast Asia's largest developer, said on Friday its first quarter net profit dropped 83 per cent from a year ago as property values fell across the region. The developer, whose largest shareholder is Singapore state investor Temasek with an 40 per cent stake, earned $42.9 million in the three months ended March, down from $247.5 million a year earlier. 'We do not expect a quick and sharp turnaround in global property markets,' CapitaLand CEO Liew Mun Leong said in a statement. Analysts expect CapitaLand to post a 62 per cent fall in net profit to about $485 million this year due to slower home sales and a drop in the value of its investment properties, according to the median forecast of analysts polled by Thomson Reuters. Shares of CapitaLand fell 9.5 per cent in the first quarter compared with a 3.5 per cent drop in the benchmark Straits Times Index. -- REUTERS

Whether it was pent-up demand, discounted levels or other factors, sales did reach very high levels given the recession. But most sales were in the mass market segment, which consultants tip to be the best-performing sector this year. Demand for prime and high-end homes remains sluggish

Experts have long noted that a recovery in the stock market typically precedes an economic recovery, with a recovery in the property market after that.

Don't need too much theory. Just the following simple rules:- 1. Buy within your means 2. Choose the best location (i.e. near where the rich people stays or in central location) 3. Max up the loan. (keep the balance for raining days)

It's no longer that expensive to maintain, in fact it's downright affordable. Imagine this, 6 years ago, it used to be about $70k after the COE was renewed. Two years later it dropped to $48k thereabouts. When I bought it two years ago, it cost $23k. One of my friends bought one about a month back for $16k, about 4 years to run. Some feedback I got from the watering hole was about $29k for one with a brand new COE but about 18-19 years old

We would like to give you some advice here.
What do we mean by professional development and what does that have to do with you as a medical school applicant?
Applicants often ask what they should do before they apply to medical school. Perhaps you have asked. Perhaps what you really meant was -- what should you do to help you get into medical school? Is volunteering in an emergency room a good thing to do? How about research? How much? What kind?
Those questions suggest a "recipe" approach -- one semester of research plus a stint in an ER plus a visit to a soup kitchen equals a successful medical school applicant.
We disagree. There is no checklist of approved activities and there is no formula for getting into medical school.
So what do we want? We want you to be convinced -- and then to convince us -- that you have the aptitudes, interests, and motivation to be a good physician. We want you to be convinced -- and then to convince us -- that you've tested the waters and know that it's right for you. To do that you need to actually have done some things -- research, hospital volunteer, tutoring, shadowing, AIDS education, VISTA, Peace Corp, whatever -- and that you have:
Learned more about yourself
Learned more about medicine
Learned more about people
Learned more about science
and had fun doing it. We want you to be convinced -- and then to convince us -- that your goal is your own professional development and not simply getting into medical school.

Good bicycle tights worn under the pants during route march/fast march will go a long way to avoiding abrasions My days in SISPEC were one of the most memorable, no 'real stress' or responsibility, no need to worry about recession or money no enough - like one of my company mate used to say, everyday you wake up in the morning (or at night!) just chiong and chiong, and then when all finished, sleep. Then next day wake up chiong again, no need to think so much. Important thing is build good relationships with your section/platoon mates, and enjoy the ride!
