It is just a simple solution to save the cost of cleaning and filtering debris from the public swimming pools. I have just written a letter to the relevant authorities and I am keepig my finger-crossed that at least this simple suggestion can be implemented. Having less pollutants in the pool also means use of [...]

Upside-down signpost for more than a week!
Posted in Ideas on May 3, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Looks like the workers or contractors putting up road signs are either illiterate or suffering from dyslexia or in a rush. Got my kid to take this on his mobile phone along Woodland St 41 last Sunday and this Sunday indeed this upside down sign still persist.
So it also meant that nobody pays any attention [...]

I was just about to purchase a bottle a prune Juice (a very good source of potassium to balance the effect of our high sodium diet) from a popular supermarket at Marsiling MRT.
However, I decided against doing so when I felt the bottom of the bottle which was rather hot. I touched the shelf which [...]

Just gave an innovative idea to a EyeRelax staff last week (24 Jul 08) when my wife and I visited their office to collect a table lamp whilst giving our experiences using the eye relaxing device that was supposedly to be effective for amblyopia (lazy eye), myopia (short-sightedness) and presbyopia (long-sightedness).

It seemed that many opticians do not know the difference between Hyperopia and Presbyopia. I think many are simply passing off a lower degree pair of glasses as a proper reading glass and which could further exacerbate our eyesight problem. Came across this in the internet. So could some kind soul out there pse enlighten [...]

I have brought an OMRON Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator (TENS) sometime ago but only started using it recently. Basically the OMRON F128 TENS was to relieve my neck pain (at the cervical neck vertebrae region) arising from a motorcycle skidding accident back in 2001. The TENS (Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) therapy uses [...]
Escalator and Common Sense!

Whenever, I am with my kids moving up any escalator, I would be particular mindful if the hand railing is flushed against or very close to the adjoining escalator or wall. This is because I do not want their heads to be hit against or worst still, be “chopped” by the adjacent escalator or wall. [...]
Geothermal energy and earthquakes?

Dwindling oil supplies may force people to look for alternative fuel that could have disastrous backlashes in the future, right at their backyard. For example, the diversion of land to biofuel may result in immediate profit for farmer or government to offset oil prices, but the downside would be more competition for arable lands [...]
Defibrillator for marathoners to include electrolyte jabs
Posted in Health, Ideas, Unwise, heat stroke, tagged brain death, brain edema, defibrillator, sudden death on April 11, 2008 | 1 Comment »
As I have often harped on the importance of adequate electrolytes for the health being of the general populace, I often wondered if those running a marathon and being a victim of brain edema through excessive water intake without adequate electrolytes, then using a defibrillator may actually be of no use since that poor guy [...]
