Leaving for US soon? Get approval online
The Straits Times, January 8, 2009
FROM next Monday, Singaporeans travelling to the United States will have to apply online for approval before they leave for the country.
The US Embassy sent out a reminder yesterday about the new rule taking effect.
Singaporeans who hold biometric or machine-readable passports can enter the US without the need for a visa.
All they have to do is submit a form, similar to an embarkation card but more detailed, to the US authorities when they arrive in the country.
However, Singaporeans who want to enter the US under the Visa Waiver Programme will have to apply here for approval with effect from Jan 12.
Travellers are advised by the US authorities to apply at least 72 hours before travelling.
The online application and authorisation process is free currently, but the US government reserves the right to charge a fee in future.
Approved travellers are allowed to make multiple visits to the country for up to two years.
The new system was put in place by the US Department of Homeland Security as part of its security measures after the Sept11, 2001 terror attacks.
Officials from the US Homeland Security said it will vet applicants to determine whether anyone poses a potential threat.

What Recession??
Lunar New Year is just around the corner......in 2 weeks time.
Today being Sunday I was foolishly persuaded by the wife to go CNY shopping at Giant in Tampines. Reasons being cheap pricing ......but above all .....free parking.
Wow......BIG MISTAKE........
This is the second time that I have visited Giant since it opened ....it is indeed Gigantic............
Seems everyone else in Singapore have the same idea, leading to frantic search for car parking space, avoiding children & pedestrians in the car park.
But the "fun" begins once you are in the mall. Every one has a trolley (big size type). Navigating through the maze of human traffic plus trolleys and stopping to choose the stuff to buy will negate all touted benefits........nightmarishhhhhhhh......
At the end when you think the wife has enough, you still have to queue to pay for the stuff.
All in all....Big is not necessarily beautiful......it's better to shop at NTUC Fairprice in the heartlands

Old Toys museum at Bussorah St
Here we are after makan, upstairs in the Old Toys Museum.
Not to confuse with the other two viz Museum of Shanghai Toys and Mint Museum of Toys.
This one here isn't just about toys, there are loads of old stuff here.
I think it's all the old stuff the owners didn't want to throw out during annual pre-Lunar New Year clean-ups.
Like what I'd like to do ie keep except that the Wife will throw ME out!
All of us had one of those chalk board dusters!
And school 'bags' like that one!
CheeKiang standing in for the ice-ball stall man.
The old Westinghouse was in working condition with cold Coke cans inside.
Aaargh, I had a couple of those plastic wired stools.
Freddie and another visitor checking out the old movie house on a tricycle.
Here it is, with movie running. They didn't have the older one where the peep holes show different flip-page movie books.
This old-style ashtray-cum-match box holder was bought from a $2 shop in Perth in 2006.
This 555 cigarette can was bought at a flea market in Perth in 2006.
