Top Petrol Saving Tip

There're countless tips on how to save petrol on the Web but I would like to share just one tip - because it really works and helps me to improve my Vios 1.5 E (Auto) mileage from an average of 11 km/l to 14 km/l!

I've tried many tips but this is THE ONE TIP that gives significant petrol savings! And it's very simple to apply and it's even good for health!

Here it is: Switch off the air-conditioning unit and open the windows as little as possible to allow just enough air to keep the car cool (to minimise drag caused by air gushing into the car, especially at high speeds)

A Spiritual Autopsy

Today is the 100th-day death anniversary of my Dad, Vincent Woon . I'm close to my Dad. In fact, among my siblings (2 brothers and 1 sister), I believe I'm the closest to him, being the youngest as well as having the same Catholic faith with him. I miss him... but the busyness of life (yes even during my 2-week-long holiday!) doesn't give me the luxury of time to reminisce our wonderful times together - perhaps our modern society is moving too fast and we risk losing our humanity and becoming more like unfeeling machines if we don't slow down... This afternoon, our family "visited" my Dad at the columbarium to say a short prayer. It was a short session with little verbal exchanges but it was a nice feeling to be together as a family, remembering someone so close to our hearts.

Seeding Racial Harmony

Last Friday, my wife and I volunteered at the " Racial Harmony Day " annual event at Montfort Junior School . It was a real fun and memorable event with yummy traditional and multicultural food and interesting activities like rickshaw rides and whacky photo booths. Many other parent volunteers put in their heart and soul to make the event a most meaningful one for their children by recreating a " kampung " environment where Singaporeans from the four main ethnic groups used to live together and interact freely; nobody locked their doors in those days because everyone viewed one another as part of the same big family! The following photo touched me deeply and conjured up feelings of pride, security and peace because it represented Singapore 's dedication to continued racial harmony in the generations to come: Photo by Andrew Teoh @ Montfort Junior School on 25 July 2014
