Singapore Rediscovers: Changi Chapel and Museum

I've been meaning to go to this museum ever since I've heard about it but I  have not gotten the time to visit the place since it's far. ( For people living in the West, the East is a long ride home). It didn't deter me since I got plenty of time to crush this time around.



The museum on the exterior looks small but don't be fooled, it is quite big inside. They managed to get some replica of the church at the same replica of the prison cell inside the museum. There's nothing much in the museum that you can actually just finish in half an hour.  Also, there's no picture taken allowed inside the premises.

What are you expecting to take from visiting the museum
a different view of what happened in World War 2. The whole museum was like a big storybook and the way the museum presented itself was through the recollection of the survivors. So, it was an eye opening experience.  


The museum is due for a makeover in April 2018 and won't be opened till 2020.

How to go
Take Bus 2, 29 and alight Opposite Changi Museum (Bus stop).
Note: There are no pedestrian lane onsite, so look both ways before crossing.

Guide to Terminating NTUC Membership (SG)

Image
Yes, we all fall for that trick of cash rebates and promotions that once you signed up, you kind of forget about why we signed up for it in the first place. It doesn't add value and it all adds up to the monthly expense.  I am writing because the website in no way explained when/where you can terminate the membership even though I've read all the terms and condition on the website. As a warning as long as the card remain active, you still owe them some money for the membership. Non-payment or termination of GIRO does not constitute termination of the membership. You have to personally write them an email or call their hotline. Why am I terminating? Because I am not using it anymore and it's not really beneficial for me. I only go to the grocery store but not go to NTUC member affiliated shops to shop, attend class. I don't fully utilize benefits . The cash rebates will only count on the following year. The link points redemption (and can only be redeemed in...

How To Apply Canadian Tourist Visa in Singapore

Image
As I was rummaging through my files, I've noticed that I've forgotten to write about visa application to Canada as a tourist. Being a passport holder from a third-world country, I have to present documents to show that I am indeed going to go to that country just for the holidays. I also need to show them that I have the intention of going back to our home country after the holidays. People can thank their lucky stars for being born in a first world country.

Accomplished form Details relating to your family as well as start of employment, salary, are asked. This is a very detailed form. 2. Supporting document ( Family information ) 3.

How to Apply for a Schengen Visa (in Singapore)

So you've decided to go to Europe. Congratulations! But because you are a citizen of a third world country, you need to apply for a visa.  But fret not! I will teach you the ways and means of applying for a Schengen Visa ( Although I am not a pro, but this is based on my experience on how I applied for one. )  First things first, when do you want to go? What countries do you want to go? Point 1:  Selecting the Visa Center It is important to take note of the countries to go because it would decide where you will apply.  The rule is that: You will apply the visa at the embassy of the member country where you will be staying the longest. If dates are the same, you will need to apply the visa at the embassy of the member country at point of entry.  For my case, I've decided that I would be going around Central Europe ( Netherlands, Switzerland, Italy, Germany ) and I chose to do my visa application at Vfsglobal - T...
