the second week's news

hi there again...here are the news....



1)Vegatable price rise 10-15% due to rainy season


Vegetable prices have risen by 10 to 15 percent on average during the past month due to the rainy season. The rainy season, which began a month earlier this year, has affected harvests in Malaysia, where half of Singapore's vegetable imports come from. The rains have also affected chilli harvests in Thailand, Vietnam and other neighbouring countries.



My opinion: Its very hard that vegatable price is higher than the usual price it is because poorer families might not have enough money just to buy vegatable for food. Even some other neighbouring countries the harvesting of the vegetable is affected so probably they also are having the same problems as us here in Singapore.This will affect us and my family because we need to buy the vegetables which is good for our health in a higher price.I hope there is a balance of weather so the vegatables and plants grow better and healthier but its impossible. And so i think we should think twice onhow to spend our money and not buy all the uneccesary things.





2) The preparations for the Youth Olympic Games on track despite the financial crisis

Singapore is all set to host the first Asian Youth Games in 2009. President of the Singapore National Olympic Council Teo Chee Hean said the financial crisis may be making it more difficult to get sponsorship, but preparations are going well.





My opinion: Its great that the preparations for the first youth olympic games is going well inspite of the financial crisis as it is a golden oppurtunity for singapore to host one of the olympic games. Even if its harder to sponsorship i know they can get some sponsorship even there is the global financial crisis. i also hope that the financial crisis would be solved and stopped, it is making the food, oil and other products to have high price. i hope that US Pres. Barack Obama would have something for this financial crisis to stop.

first's weeks news....

hi welcome again to my blog after 2 or 1 month....too busy hehe....
so now here are the news i chose to write my opinions and all.....

1)the white tiger

The Singapore Zoo is keeping its white tiger exhibit closed for a few more days to monitor the tigers' stress levels.

my opinion:
i think its right to close the enclosure to check whether the tiger who have stress or the cleaner who provoked the tigers to do it.An article i saw also about this said that even before the incident the zookeepers noticed that the worker is acting strangely.H e was throwing things and when he was walking out of the zoo he was passing the message "goodbye, you wont see me again". I think he was trying to suicide or something because if not then why did he acted so strangely in front of the public?i think also after this incident the zoo will put more patrols around various exhibits for the visitors safety.


2)Singapore's first mass cycling event aims to attract 5,000 participants

First it was the Formula One. Now, another sport looks set to capitalise on Singapore's cityscape. On February 22 next year, Singapore's first mass cycling event on public roads aims to attract 5,000 participants.

my opinion:
It's great to oraganise an event like this because it helps SIngporet o be known more and to help the citizens to have a healthy lifestyle.it is also the first time that it will include amateur and elit cyclers.it helps the amateur cyclers to try the challenge of cycling 5 to 40 kilometres while for the serious cyclers can go on with 50 kilometre challenge!they are also planning to bring 50 professional cyclists from all over the world to compete in a special category with a prize of $100,000.
