Updates are on the way !!

Hi all there,

Currently I am taking a break and also in search of some friends who are interested in taking part in this "FINE" project. I will be back in Singapore at the end of this month and we intended to run some projects as regards to the "FINE" city. As for now, we will keep it a secret and be sure to come back occasionally to check our blog out.

Meanwhile, I am also working on my another blog, J82Productions, which is more about life and travel in Osaka, if you are interested, please visit there as well.

If there is anyone who is interested in blog link exchange, I am all but welcome. (But make sure that it is relevant to my sites).

See ya soon ...

speeds on KPE Expressway

If you are thinking of driving at 90km/h in this Expressway, should be careful. Unlike the others expressway which have a speed limit of 90km/h, this newly opened Expressway, Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway aka KPE is fitted with digital speed cameras that operates throughout the day, enforcing a speed limit of 70km/h.

Why would I want to emphasize on this underground expressway ? Because during the first phase of the operation, 3,400 motorists were caught speeding in KPE, accounting to 3% of the total traffic.
