We Are The World 25 For Haiti
Mar 10th
About The We Are The World Foundation
Join our community. Be part of the solution. We Are the World.
The recording of ‘We Are The World 25 For Haiti’ embodies the same enthusiasm, sense of purpose and generosity as the original recording 25 years ago. Through the contributions of the new voices to this rendition of ‘We Are The World,’ and with the help of our partners, the We Are The World Foundation will be committed to transparency and will help further the spirit of activism that was at the heart of the original song and movement.
We are developing mechanisms to permit our donors and members of the community to monitor the funds raised, the expenses paid, and the charitable grants funded by the We Are The World Foundation, a newly created not-for-profit organization founded by Quincy Jones and Lionel Richie who have invited Wyclef Jean, Paul Haggis, Randy Phillips, Peter Tortorici and Ambassador Luis Moreno of the Inter-American Development Bank to join them on the board. The Foundation is dedicated to raising money and to making grants to charitable organizations with meaningful and efficient relief and development programs that are responding to the continuing crisis in Haiti.

No Nightrider on Sunday, right?
Mar 8th
Just back from Clark Quay. Met up with Soh Wei Zhong at Suntec for a short trip to the Education Fair, then we headed over to the Central to meet Damien Teong and Eric Teo for dinner at Manhattan Fish Market. Alex Chng met us after our dinner and we headed over to Yello Jello to drink and chill.
After we parted ways, I stupidly waited for the Night Rider, after like 20 minutes wait, I realised that there’s no NR on Sundays. Chiong to the bus stop opposite Central to take bus 147, but missed the last bus! Ended up taking the last bus 33 and walked home from Singapore Polytechnic! FML!
Career, Training and Education Fair 2010
Mar 4th
Time: 11am – 8pm
Venue : Halls 601-603, Level 6, Suntec Convention Centre
CAREER & TRAINING 2010 : EDUCATION 2010 is now two shows running concurrently to make the event more focused.
The theme for 2010 is “Navigating Your Future” and the starting point in the navigation path will begin with the PEAKS™ profiling test for those interested in career opportunities or educational options. PEAKS™ is a personality test that helps people of all levels and education to identify their natural personality. This information will help them know their strengths, abilities and resource and will aid in personal relational, leadership educational and career growth. Certified profilers from Singapore Professional Centre will be present during the 4-days to provide interpretation.
After completing the PEAKS™ profiling test and with professional interpretation from the certified profilers, the visitors will then be in a better position to commence the navigation path either in their career or education by visiting the various booths that offer relevant courses or jobs that they are better suited for and the exhibiting companies will in turn be interacting with a more focus clientele.
Career & Training Segment – Exhibitors will be clustered in different industries from public and private sectors consisting of small and medium-sized enterprises to multi-national companies, government bodies as well as associations. The event serves as an excellent platform to all exhibitors to either brand and create awareness of their industries and professions or promote their career and training opportunities to the targeted visitors.
Education Segment – Leading local and overseas educational institutions have found this event a relevant avenue to showcase their various education and training courses to individuals seeking educational options, undergraduates, post graduates and those upgrading their current skills. Hence, EDUCATION 2010 will see some regular exhibitors and more……
CAREER & TRAINING 2010 : EDUCATION 2010 is an event with a difference. It is a holistic event where there is something for everyone, be it educational options, training courses, seminars, job opportunities and others.

3 ways to a 6 pack
Feb 9th
Want that washboard stomach? Time to stop wishing and start acting. Good, strong abs not only help protect your spine, they can keep your body healthy. Here are some of the simplest but most effective abs exercises.
1) The Plank
Get into the push-up position with only your elbows and toes touching the ground. Form a straight line with your body from head to toe and start contracting your abs. Remain in this position for 30 seconds and repeat.
2) The Reverse Crunch
Lie down on your back with your knees bent and your shins parallel to the ground. Brace your abs and lower your feet towards the ground. Bring your knees up towards your ribcage, keeping your back straight. Repeat.
3) The Bicycle
Lie on the floor with hands behind your head and with your knees bent. Lift your shoulders and bring your right elbow towards the right knee. Do the same for the opposite side in a cycling motion.
