The Past of CCK Cemetery

Choa Chu Kang Cemetery is the biggest cemetery in Singapore, which is located in the west of the island in close proximity to the Tengah Air Base and at the confluence of the Old Choa Chu Kang Road, Lim Chu Kang Road and Jalan Bahar.. it comprises the Chinese, Christian, Ahmaddiya Jama'at, Muslim, Parsi, Bahai, Jewish, Hindu and Lawn cemeteries. It is currently the only burial cemetery to remain in operation. Also within its grounds, are several columbariums, including the state-run Choa Chu Kang Columbarium, and two private facilities, namely The Garden of Remembrance, A Christian columbarium and Ji Le Memorial Park, the Buddhist facility..

The site of the cemetery estate was initially belonged to the former NTU, Old Nanyang University as a park for future development. At the center of the park, where there was a small hill (now being the garden of remembrance Park) used to have 3 flag pole standing; Bristish, Malaya and India. During the Japanese Occupation, the jap army removed them. And their enemy beheaded there. The Strong Vengeances of the victims filled the air. After the war, whoever tried to re-erect any flag there would die with no reason on the next morning. Some believe that the '' polarity'' of the cosmic energy there has been disturbed and switched opposite during the war. Because of that, this piece of land was used naturally as cemetery as it is today.

Rumors:
Sightings of a ghost headless japanese soldier and chinese commando in blue uniform at the area. The Chinese commando had many wounds on his body, and carried a severed head which was dripping blood on his left hand, and a blood-stained parang on his right hand. Later he was shot dead by the other Japanese troops.

Feng Sui:
The cemetery district is sited geomantically well on a piece of interesting, undulating land with smooth physical features that are in accordance with nature and beneficial influences. The surrounding landscape is indicative of balanced patterns and harmonious topography. Ranges of hilly ground spread on the left (resembling the formation of the azure dragon and the yang energy)

P/S: Why must we need to explore the ghoulish place in the night time.. We can go there in the day time.. show respect to the spirit, make prayer to dead.. Breathe some fresh air instead.. LOL~ Oops! ^.^

Gotten the past stories from many sources.. interest to know more.. please search yourself. :)

Stomach Flu & HFMD Outbreak

Oh my goodness, besides HFMD being spread in most of the childcare in singapore.. now come the new stomach flu virus (viral GE).

Last week, at least 21 childrens in one of the childcare centre locate in boon lay, caught with (viral GE) virus.The center had closed for 3 days, for doing the necessary sanitising work.

Dr Chong from KK hospital mentioned in the ''My paper'' that this (viral GE) virus is spread by exposure to vomit or stools, and not usually by food or drink that children consumed. But multiply childrens can contract the virus if they share the same enclose space.

80% of the childcare centre design layout are all the same. 4 to 5 group of classes in one enclose space. No partition for each group. I was thinking, if one children got the virus, the rest of kids will have possible to get it too.. as virus is flying everywhere within centre.. those childcare centre which faciliated with aircon.. will be having higher risks of children getting it.

I myself is a mother of one son, who my son also always fall sick ever since i decided to enrol him into childcare centre.

And due to virus attacking the centre.. i need to take lots of leave to stay at home, to take care of him.

I definately will do part to take care of him, when he is sick due to normal illness..

As for virus attack, the childcare should be their part in doing cleaning to the centre.. and must also do something to improve on the unexpected virus attack to kids.

They should re layout the centre. placing partition between each classes.. to prevent much contact with one another. Cleaning of hand and foot frequently. Hygiene is very important..if no one going to look into this matter.. thinks mothers out there, can lose their job and income, and no more lady out there, would want to give birth .. making kids suffer so much ..

Trailer [ Harry Potter & the Half blood prince]

Harry Potter and the Half- Blood prince follows Harry Potter on his sixth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Harry discovers the Half-Blood Prince's ancient potions book which tell about voldemort's dark past, the potion book gives Harry advice on how to improve greatly Potions work, and teaching him a few helpful and yet dangerous spell along the ways .

Amidst this, Harry is starting private lessons with Professor Dumbledore, during which Harry learns the dark secrets of Voldemort's past, hoping that they could use these secrets to find a way to defeat him.

Harry's year gets even more stressful with the suspicious actions of Draco Malfoy, who has been sneaking around the school doing, so Harry assumes, Voldemort's bidding. Harry quickly becomes determined, and slightly obsessed, to find out exactly what Malfoy has been up to and putting and end to it.

Yet, during this time, Harry and his friends go through daily life, busy with school work, Quidditch, (in which Harry has been made captain of the team) and of course, romance. Ron has found a new girlfriend, Lavender Brown, a perky (if not obnoxious) Gryffindor student, and Hermione is not happy about it. Ron and Hermione's friendship takes a toll throughout the school year and Harry, as usual, is stuck in the middle. Harry, meanwhile, is facing a romantic dilemma of his own: he realizes he is falling for his best friend's sister, Ginny Weasley, who is unfortunately dating Harry's classmate, Dean Thomas. Harry's pining for Ginny and Ron's hilarious relationship with Lavender give this story a large dose of reality.

Throughout all the school drama, however, the obvious darkness of Voldemort's impending rise to power is always apparent.

The incredible action-packed climax is sure to leave the audience stunned and, inevitably, prove that you shouldn't trust everybody who you think is good and also prove that not everyone can manage to survive.
