A visit to Pinnacle @ Duxton

Written by on · Leave a Comment

Pinnacle@duxton the latest HDB estate in town standing tall at 50 Storey high, Featuring 2 unique Sky bridges at level 26 and also level 50. Please also note that level 26 is only accessible to the resident and level 50 is open to the public, 200 public visitors per day are allowed onto the Sky Bridge. Offering a panoramic view of the city skyline, It surely is a must visit place if you want to have a good view of Singapore.

I went at around 8 plus in the evening. I believe the view will definitely be much better during the day, or during sunset but the night view is just as good. Looking at our busy port and our business district from this height do bring me new thoughts and new aspiration. 

It’s a waste that my friend was in a rush and we stayed less than 30 minutes at the sky bridge. I did not bring my camera along and only took a couple of pictures with my nokia E71, The pictures was not well taken. But I will still post a couple of it so that you guys will have a better picture of how it feels like.

Getting there is very easy. Alight along Cantonment road, Right at the last block along the main road, just after the bus stop. You will then be at Blk 1G, outside the block, you will see a ticket kiosk showing you how many tickets are still available for the day and for now, there is a security officer stationed at the kiosk to guide you on how to buy the ticket. Just present your EZ-Link card onto the scanner and click on the purchase button to purchase the ticket. A receipt will be generated and hold on to you EZ-Link  card, Also do note that each EZ-Link card is valid for one person only. You cannot use your EZ-Link card for multiple ticket purchase.

After getting your receipt, Proceed to the lift and you will be on your way up to Level 50. Once you reach level 50, Present your EZ-Link card at the gantry for access to the Sky Bridge. That will be it, Enjoy your View. You will also need your Ez-Link Card at the gantry when leaving the Sky Bridge.

Bad Start to a Great Year

Written by on · Leave a Comment

Just yesterday, 2nd January 2010. I got a major setback. I lost. I have a lot of confident in that task, as it seems like it was almost mine. But then I lost it. I suffered a terrible defeat. I felt that I should have won, but at then end I lost.

But then life is full of up and down, therefore a defeat will only make you stronger when the face the next battle. I’m a fighter. I must face it alone and also summon all my means to win it. This is only the first defeat, I must be back on my feet fast and be ready to fight the next battle with all my will power.

As the title states, Bad Start to a Great Year. This will be a great year for me. I have a lot of goals to reach this year. It will definitely be hectic, But then I feel that if I accomplish all my goals within this year, I will definitely find it worthwhile for the effort and hardships that I have to go through this year. No pain No Gain.

This is a short post, and I hope that you read it with a clear frame of mind. There is this Chinese Saying that “nothing is impossible in this world with a willing heart”. As long as you are determined and focus on achieving your goals, You will be there someday. Don’t lose focus along the way. I am also reminding myself to focus on my goals and don’t lose heart when the going gets tough. When the going gets tough don’t give up. It will only makes you tougher.

God Bless you all and your family, Be Happy and stay healthy as we look forward to this Great Year 2010. 

First Post of the year 2010

We are now into the first day for the new year 2010. This is such a great feeling, For me every start of the year will be to focus on achieving a couple of things for the new year. It is very important to have a focus in mind and to move towards your goals. If you have yet to set down your resolution, then please do it now, grab a piece of paper write down your goals for the new year. But wait, don’t just write down your goals, call your best friend and tell them about it. 

When you are committed and tell your friends about your goals, you will be more committed to fulfill it because you have an obligation since you already told someone your goals and it will then set into your mind that you need to work towards your goals. I have just done that. I already told my best friend my goals and they wish me all the best.

Setting resolutions for the new year is what most people do during the start of the new year. But most people just write it down think about it and then forget it when the months goes, because they put in unrealistic goals for themselves. Setting goals is good, but do set realistic goals because if your goal is too unrealistic then you won’t even be determined to fulfill it. Set minor milestone towards your goals and reward yourself when you reach a milestone be it late or early, because when you make a step forwards towards your goals, you are already halfway to success.

I wish you all the best in the new year 2010. God Bless you and your family.
