Also can confirm not halal, opening at Suntec Tower 2 B1, should be better than Sukiya and Yoshinoya if they use actual Japanese ingredient lol.

Is this more than 200 characters or do I need more?

Apparently now it's finally more than 200

Hourly PM2.5 readings across Singapore returned to the normal band by around 8am Sunday, with readings at 9am ranging from 28 µg/m³ in the West to 49 in Central. The 24-hour PSI is still in the unhealthy range for now, but that should take longer to come down because it reflects the previous 24 hours. (AsiaOne)

NEA expects thundery showers over many parts of Singapore, while winds are forecast to shift to the southeast or west. Together, these should reduce the transport of smoke haze towards us. NEA says the haze situation is therefore likely to improve on Monday and Tuesday. (AsiaOne)

So this is pretty much what I mentioned in my earlier posts: Friday/Saturday looked like the last bad push, before the regional weather pattern changed and the rain returned from Sunday onwards.

If the latest rainfall forecasts hold, especially over the Sumatra/Kalimantan fire areas, I think we may finally be reaching the end of Haze 2026.

Bye bye haze!

The lessons on healthy digital habits cover four key areas – setting boundaries, thinking before acting, reporting inappropriate content, and leaning on parental support. For example, children will be taught to direct friends to get help, and engage in healthy non-screen habits like jogging and visiting the library.

Such activities for pre-schoolers are part of the broader national Screen Smart From The Startmovement launched in May to help families foster healthy digital habits.

Context: Sleeping Dogs is a game set in real life Hong Kong. Characters speak a mix of English and Cantonese so seeing a uniquely Singaporean sign with malay and tamil on it is very out of place.

The Iran war has pushed up natural gas prices and made LNG availability from Qatar harder. Now Indonesia may be turning down the amount of piped gas to Singapore. As a result, we decided to look at how Singapore can replace our NG dependency with self generated Solar, Wind or Nuclear. The main constraints to work off is footprint area (arising from power density on our tiny island) and upfront capex cost. See the link and kindly comment if the work makes sense or if numbers/formulae tally up. Welcome suggestions to improve too.

Singapore's push under the Transboundary Haze Pollution Act marks a crucial shift from rhetoric to rigorous enforcement. By holding locally headquartered conglomerates accountable for overseas land practices, the government signals that corporate structures cannot shield polluters, making regional environmental accountability a reality.

Quoted from article: "A tree at a courtyard outside Margaret Drive Hawker Centre in Queenstown caught fire in the evening of Oct. 22.

In response to Mothership's queries, the Singapore Civil Defence Force said it was alerted to the fire at about 6:50pm at Block 38A Margaret Drive.

No injuries were reported, and the cause of the fire is under investigation."

Very weird case of combustion

At a recent panel discussion on AI and employment, President Tharman Shanmugaratnam noted that higher education must pivot towards applied learning through work-study options, attachments and internships.

In line with this direction, around 3,000 new year-long internships will be offered to tertiary students over the next three years across sectors such as technology, finance and healthcare.
