Make a comparison between Singapore and Thailand. Do you feel more secured walking along the road of Singapore or walking down the streets of Thailand? I am more than sure that everyone would agree that Singapore acts as a safe haven and that security can never ever compared to that of Thailand’s security.

It is not a problem for us to walk down the streets of Singapore alone and clothed with the most expensive clothings. However, doubts and worry would definitely fill your mind when asked to walk down a shopping street in Thailand. Singapore is always known for it’s top notch security and it is important that we feel that sense of security in the places that we go.

Being secured is a good way of being comfortable in wherever you are as it does not bring about fear within your heart, always having to worry or fear what is going to happen next. It is also good that Singapore practices and celebrates Total Defence where security is covered in most aspects in one way or another.

There are a total of 5 components in Total Defence. Firstly, psychological defence where it builds on the nation’s pride and identity. Secondly, social defence which looks beyond different races and nationalities to build a multiracial community for the nation to function and operate. Thirdly, economic defence where it focuses a lot on making good use of the nation’s natural resource and limited space to exchange it for finances and capital investment.Fourthly, civil defence prepares the nation for emergencies as to prepare and equip them with the right skills and knowledge if an emergency were to really happen. Lastly, military defence acts as the operational readiness of the nation with their Singapore Armed Forces, full time national servicemen as well as reservists.

There are several types of events and all these events can be categorised into 2 groups. They are corporate events and private events. Events do not necessary need to be a corporate event that is recognised globally by companies. A small birthday party or a mini get-together can also pass off as an event where it is settled by an individual or a small group of people.

Events are not just simply what you are hosting but it revolves many other tedious things. All these includes: Staging, logistic and lots of planning. The planning of event must cover the pre-event, event itself, the aftermath of it as well as taking into consideration wet weather programmes. Also, contingencies such as natural disasters and emergency would come into the picture when you are planning for an event. You must be prepared and know how to react if such things happen. To conduct an event that is very well received by the guests, a lot of time and creative ideas are needed to put into good use to come out with an impressive and successful one.

Conducting a corporate event allows companies to conduct educational seminars to equip their staff about the necessary working etiquette and knowledge. It also provides platform for business partners to come and share with one another about their business plans and strategies. This is also a place where people get to meet new clients and working partners. Corporate events such as exhibitions and trade shows can provide companies opportunities to showcase their latest products and talents.

Having private events like birthdays, gatherings and anniversaries would provide opportunities for friends and families to come together for a catch up session amidst their busy schedules. It also gives couples a chance to celebrate their life and milestone for being together and to appreciate one another.

“I sue you”, this is a very common line that is always used in TV programmes nowadays. Be it harrassing, divorce, inheritance or any other problems, people always think that bringing the situation up to a law firm is the best way in solving the problem. It is true that the problem will be solved in the most fair and just manner but wouldn’t it be a little too embarrassing for people to wash their dirty laundry in public?

Going to court has been such a norm in television shows today that viewers has taken it literally and also just with a small problem, they would rather settle it in court than out of court. I find this a little too childish and I believe solutions will be able to come our way if we take the time to sit down and lay everything on the table. Having a lawsuit is just too exaggerating and it involves so much complications especially when it comes to fighting over the custody of children. I wonder if those selfish parents have ever spare a thought for their loved ones around them especially their children. The hurt that a child goes through will definitely be too much for him/her to handle.

Are you always short of money? Do you have problems with saving up for rainy days? Are you spending more than you ought to be saving? If your answers to the questions above are mostly positive, you are in deep trouble!

Money is an essential tool that keeps us going in life. Money acts like oxygen. Without oxygen, we cannot breathe and so we cannot survive. Similarly, when we do not have money, we can stop thinking of surviving in this expensive world. Everything that we do everyday requires money. No money no talk and this is very true. With money, we can own the best cars, wear the best clothes, have the best education and have the time of one’s life; but without money, all we can do is remain low profile, suffer in silence, be a roadsweeper and beg for money on the streets.

Start young and you will never go wrong. Start saving up for your future. Start saving up for rainy days ahead because we do not know what the future holds. It is not ours to decide and it is always better to be safe than sorry.

I am starting to regret what my folks always tell me when I was just a little girl. I never fail to receive piggy banks for Christmas every year. I only get excited with dropping some coins into it the first few days and subsequently, I get a little turn off and those piggy banks would slowly become white elephants. Now that I am all grown up and I need to start being responsible for my doings, I wished I had listen to my parents and heed their advice of keeping my savings in the piggy banks and not spending every single cent that I always have.

So if you need help, be sure to seek help from an accountant that would help keep your money in a safe place rather than you squandering your precious money and time away. It is always better to see your money grow than see it deplete. Find an accountant and start saving!

As the saying goes, “A picture paints a thousand words” and you must never underestimate the power of photos and pictures. It does wonders! Indeed, there is so much behind a picture and it tells a lot just by you glancing at the picture. This is because you are almost cultivating all your 5 senses to try and feel what the picture is trying to portray. It activates especially your sense of touch, sight and feel as you try to imagine yourself in the picture. Your sense of hearing and taste would gradually flow in as you begin to lose control of yourself and let it flow together with the picture.  

Photography is a skill. It is no doubt that anybody and everybody can simply fish out a camera from their bags to capture THE very moment that they want to remember for a lifetime. Or now with the advancement in technology, people can simply and conveniently use their mobile phones to snap a picture. However, it requires a special talent for people to take really good and professional pictures with a trick here and there on the camera. So then, a photo taken by a normal person can be easily enhanced by a professional photographer just by the angle that he holds the camera, the settings and lightings of the camera. Only a professional photographer can take such expert shots.

When looking for a photographer, do remember to look for one that is patient. This is because a lot of time is needed to capture a breathtaking sight. You hardly see a photographer that is satisfied with just the first shot of his photography. He will tend to take several shots just for a particular sight and slowly take his time at home to compare and filter out the nicest one among those that he has taken. This definitely require lots of patience for one to stand at a particular spot to continuously take a similar shot as well as choosing one that really satisfy him.

He should always look out for your likings as well as dislikes so as to not design something that would be of no interest to you.

All you need to do is to practice patience and following that, you will get to experience luxury and a comfortable life. Being generous with your budget would also give more options for your contractors and designers to come out with an extravagant place just for you.

Design, designers, designation. Are you looking for a professional person with a proper designation who can be your designer to come out with impressive designs just for you? Design plays a big part in our everyday life, it creates hype and adds joy in everything that we see. If you open your eyes and start taking a closer look at the things around you, you will tend to realise that everything is about design. The shapes, the sizes, the colours.. All these are part of the design which plays a big part in both the interior and exterior outlook.

Design is the colour and  graphics on your clothes, it is the arrangement of the food on your cutleries, it is also the way how your room looks! I am pretty sure most of us are tired and bored with the usual concept of a typical home and having a boring white-coloured wallpaper is too mainstream. This is where the job of an interior designer would come into place in helping you transform your ugly house to a beautiful castle!

When it comes to designing your home, a simple tip for you would be letting your designer know your preferences and leave the rest of the job to him. Just write on a piece of paper a rough gauge of what you want your dream house to be like so he can do up your house according to your wish. Afterwhich, give him ample time to wreck his brains with his creative brain juices and come out with an astonishing concept that would blow your mind based on your liking. It would help if he could come up with a timeline which spells out the completion of the different areas so you could roughly estimate when your new house will be ready for you to move in.

Keeping an open-mind and yourself exposed to the modern world today would greatly help you in gathering many different designs that would help be your potential design that you would choose. Just open your eyes in exploring the world around you and your surroundings would do much help and provide you with great choices.

Are you thinking of changing the concept of your place? Are you thinking of beautifying your place to make it look a little happier and cozier for you to work and live in? Or are you helping a friend to look for a suitable group of people to do some renovation works?

Renovation is definitely not an easy task and is one that it requires skills and talent. Not any ordinary person down the street is capable of doing this complex job, so it is very important that you look for someone that is in that profession to do up your renovation- doing up to the best of his ability to satisfy and impress his customers in the creative designs and imaginative ideas that he uses. His works must not be simple and ordinary that can be found anywhere but instead, it must be unique and something that is of the EXTRAordinary. This is what makes a contractor professional!

It is important that you trust your renovation contractors because he has the key in building your ‘new’ house and also, the control over your house when you are away from home as the renovation works are adding on to your noise pollution and you prefer to stay away from it and let him take over your house. In such instances, trust would be the key and it is important that your valuables are not kept in places that are visible! Do ensure that your valuables are kept in a safe place. If you think it is inconvenient for you to do so, I would then suggest you send a representative of your own to be present at the venue and be vigilant at all times when the contractors are hard at work. This is because you will never know what the contractors are doing behind your back. You wouldn’t know if they are really doing their job or skiving, so just prepare yourself!

Do remember to work out some working and timing schedule for your contractors lest they take a very long time in completing their job and causing you to be kept in suspense in viewing the newly renovated place.
