Resorts World Sentosa opening on Wed

Yes, it's opening on Wednesday starting with 4 out of 6 hotels.

From CNA, SMRT would be introducing 6 more bus services to Resorts World Sentosa. I wonder where is SMRT going to get the buses with their current fleet size.

Our Singapore's infrastructure capacity

At the beginning, I would really confess that I didn't expect my letter of thoughts about our domestic infrastructure's capacity issues would really be published on the press (ST forum 18/01/2010 online).

However I forgot to pen down that actually overall everything is still well provided for in Singapore in particular our seaports and airport facilities - big and spacious. My mind was simply on our domestic infrastructure then. My mind is still fuming that Boon Lay needs to keep the old interchange open for the big crowds heading to NTU/ NIE onboard SBS Svs 179, 179A & 199.

In fact PSA is now building a container barge terminal at Jurong Island to provide an alternative to the current haulage to PSA's current four container terminals namely at Tg Pagar, Keppel, Pulau Brani & Pasir Panjang. It's a good move as it would relieve AYE or Jln Buroh/ West Coast Highway from the massive jam

Although it's just a barge terminal, based on the tender notices, electric powered rubber tyred gantry cranes for the stacking yard would be installed and commissioned.

mmm.. Counting down and it's 127 more days to my pre - university entry medical checkup on 25th May and 217 days to NTU AY2010/2011's commencement (orientation week). It was just 603 days ago that I graduated from NP.
