i like Lombok as vacation but i think it is too raw....u should check out the flies....

hows the Sand?

It is clear that the India govt is now pointing to Pakistan govt to take action on militant within Pakistan.

So what is the Singapore MFA position on Pakistan govt?  If the terrorist is indeed operate from Pakistan. Can the family of Ms Lo file a claim in Singapore court?  

well i mean if he raise his arm higher we could probably see his belly.....

 

 

Gone to Disneyland during thanks giving weekend.

They had the christmas magic and after the fire works they  actually created SNOW.

Have to say I never knew Cartoon can actually comes alive.....amazing.

 

A nice place would be Costa Rica. Cost of living is back in the early 80's.  People are simpler and life style is slow. U can always take a 6 hours flight to miami for medical check up.

 

My other thoery about this Dish "Singapore Fried Noddles"  could be a chinese tourist back in the early days came to singapore and tasted mee goreng and replica it in a chinese way.

u should try. if you didn't you are missing out a lot.

yes all the more that this dish was created either by a foreigner or overseas.

What is the "Real" Singapore fried noodles?

Can anyone figure out?  

What was the creator of this "name" dish really wanted to replicate " A " unique taste that he/she experienced when he/she was in Singapore? 

There are many versions of the Singapore fried noodles out here. A more common acceptance seemed to be fried Vermicelli

When I was a kid, my favorite night snack was a Malay guy pushing a cart frying Mee goreng with bean sprout n egg.  With "half" a small green lime n hot spicy chillies. (macpherson) 

Local breaksfast Vermicelli with soya sauce and bean sprout with a sunny side up egg or spam.

A more elaborate fried vermicelli with onions,egg,prawn,chai sew etc.

The worst kind:

If you ever walk into a HKG or Chinese owner restaurant your Singapore fried noddles most likely taste like this

Fried Been Hoon and throw in bunch of curry powder. And called it Singapore noodle.

I can only speculate to this question.

Could it be a singaporean students who study oversea back in the 70's and was home sick and crank up this stove and fried Vermicelli and since back in the 70's hot food isn;t that common he open his only spicy from Home ---- curry powder. and throw it into the fried Vermicelli/noddles.

And served to all international students. And they CALLED IT -- The Singapore Noddles.

 

If you have further theory please welcome to share.

Should we go and hunt them down and kill off the USA troops?

i would have prefer that you discuss issue about how singapore and singaporean  cope with this sense of security and the lost of Ms. Lo that is closer to home. Unless you are not in Singapore.  

By the look at the picture you posted you probably have better timing in 2.4km than he can put in. 

this picture was a bad example of  a professional body. the way he stand, he had exposed half of his body and have to rise his arm.....

i think this type of situation was not planned for, it was clear that this incident caught the central and local govt by surprise. I am not sure how they established their counter terrorist unit across india. They might place their 1st tier in the Capital.  We don't know how they established their command n control. is it decentralized vs centralized especially bare in mind india is such a big country, ethnically diverse.  

These terrorists shoot racklessly. They can be easily blend in to local population if they wanted but they choose not to. So in a time compressed decision and a choas situation they did what they do to adapt to this attack. 

talk about decision and i don;t mean to mock but look at how we try to catch our allege terrorist.

 

At least 195 people, including 18 foreigners, were killed after gunmen attacked 10 sites across India's financial capital starting Wednesday night.

_ Americans Rabbi Gavriel Noach Holtzberg, 29, and Leibish Teitlebaum were found dead at the Mumbai Chabad Lubavitch center, also known as Nariman House. Holtzberg ran the center with his Israeli wife, Rivkah, 28, who was also killed. Bentzion Chroman, another victim at Nariman House, was a dual U.S.-Israeli citizen. Americans Alan Scherr, 58, and his daughter Naomi, 13, were killed at the Oberoi hotel cafe. One other unidentified American was killed.

_ Australians Bradley Taylor, 49, and Douglas Markell, 71.

_ Italian Antonio Di Lorenzo, 63, from the Tuscan city of Livorno, was killed at the Oberoi hotel.

_ Frenchman Mourad Amarsy, 49, and his French wife Loumia Hiridjee were killed while dining at the Oberoi.

_ Two Canadians were confirmed killed but their identities and other details were not released.

_ British-Cypriot Andreas Dionysiou Liveras, 73, was killed.

_ Japanese national Hisashi Tsuda, 38, was shot at a Mumbai hotel.

_ German Ralph Burkei, 51, was at the Taj Mahal hotel during the attacks and killed.

_ Singaporean Lo Hoei Yen, held hostage and killed.

_ Thai woman working at the Oberoi hotel spa was killed but her identity was not released

if you start negociate with terrorist and they walk away. the next terrorist target will be much bigger.

Just have to look at Somalia pirates they now go for the bigger price. - Tanker.

The facts that the terrorist taken over multiple hotels. are going to be urgly from this onset. nobody is going to walk out of this incident pretty especially for the indian govt.  

I am only surprise they took this long.

The Russian would have pull out everything including gas. They are willing to take the risk of killing percentage of the hostage to get to the terrorist.

But you are implying that the American use the same standard to kidnap innocent civilian in a non declared combat zone, held them as human shield, objective is to kill as many as possible. In a non declared war zone. 

or u simply ignore Xtryer previous paragraph. Cut a sentence and take it out of contexts and use it to steer this topics?

By your logic the US is the culprit for this attack? U r using this to justify the terrorist action in India?

The terrorists were probably  trying to use Singapore as a leverage through her to prevent the Indian security forces from storming the hotel. It didn't work, because the stiuation then was "fluid" and fast moving.

Poor gal, she's a victim of sense-less killing by brainwashed religionists.

 

Yes this bring a lesson when u r under hostage by terrorist. Should change your accent and speak like a malaysian.

 

just to get back to the topics

yes i think it can happen in anywhere this technique of coming onto shore and hit out at multiple target brings a new perspective it is no longer suicide bombers, it is not a hit n run, it  stayed, and killed as many as possible till they drop dead. I don’t think there are  political demands from terrorists.

these are not suicide bombers they stay,  seek and kill as many as possible until they got shot.  That is their only purposes.  

it is truly sad that she was taken out before her time.

 

yes and that is why i said some precondition must take place prior to talking about 2 party system. or even get President veto power.

don't know.........relative i guess.
