The Singapore Hospice Council (SHC)

http://www.singaporehospice.org.sg/

Hospice and palliative care is a holistic approach to caring for patients going through the last stages of their lives. It aims to meet all needs (physical, emotional, psychosocial and spiritual) so as to alleviate suffering and maximise quality of life for patients and their loved ones.

The Singapore Hospice Council (SHC), in partnership withthe Lien Foundation, created the first-ever doctors’ and nurses’ palliative care fellowships and scholarships in Singapore, and launched an inaugural campaign to raise public awareness of hospice palliative care in Singapore. Of the S$2m funding provided by the Lien Foundation to the SHC, S$1.2m has been channeled to the scholarships and fellowships, while the other S$800,000 has been channeled to public awareness efforts. This has been a project to raise public awareness and attract more doctors and nurses into, hospice palliative care.

“We are very heartened by Lien Foundation’s support for the ‘cause of the dying’. About 70% of people with terminal illnesses are dying without hospice palliative care in Singapore.

Depression Forum

http://www.depnet.com.sg/


THE NATIONAL MENTAL HEALTH SURVEY RESULTS (February 2003 to March 2004)

The survey results showed that the population weighted lifetime and recent prevalence of depression in adults was 5.6% and 4.9% respectively, whilst the population weighted lifetime and recent prevalence of anxiety in adults was 3.4% and 2.3% respectively. The prevalence of depression and dementia in elderly aged 60 years and above was 3.1% and 5.2% respectively.

(The Straits Times, 30 Sep 2004)
This means approximately 224,000 Singaporean aged 59 and below and 124,000 aged 60 and above will be hit by depression at some point in their life.

Depression affects so many people that the vast majority of us have known or will know a person in the family, at work or in our circle of friends, who will develop depression! Depression therefore concerns us all.

In this section you can get information about depression and the symptoms which accompany it. You can read about what triggers depression and about the different types of depression, as well as how doctors distinguish between them.

RECYCLE & REUSE – LET'S DO YOUR PART!

http://www.marcomresource.com/recycle.html

RECYCLE & REUSE – LET'S DO YOUR PART!
We noticed that many companies are not recycling and even for those who recycle, many throw away papers along side with stationeries e.g. clear folders, plastic folders, arch files, metal clips, ring binders, etc. Many of these stationeries are still very new, so why are they throwing away? We believe that many of these companies may be too busy to notice, find it troublesome to remove or don't bother to re-use them. But most of these stationeries still look new & re-usable, isn't it a waste to be thrown away? Especially those that cannot be recycled and are thrown away before they are really spoilt.At Marcom Recycling Point, we want to take part in the promoting of recycling, reusing and reducing wastage. To support this mission, and to encourage more companies to recycle, we will retain such stationeries if applicable and give to companies who pledged their recyclables e.g. paper documents, newspapers, magazines, CDs, cartridges, etc and don't mind reusing used stationeries (or to other suitable channels if necessary). In this way, these companies can help to reduce wastage and also save when such stationeries don't have to be bought on a regular basis. For the updated list of used stationeries/office items, please click here. If you plan to throw away stationeries that are still in good condition, please call us too (if not working, please dispose them accordingly as most of them cannot be recycled - check with us if not sure).
We are grateful to have 138 companies pledge their support to our Recycle & Reuse Program one way or another since it was promoted on 21 Aug 08. Click here to view. We hope more companies regardless big or small will support recycling, reusing and to help cut down wastages. If you would like to start a recycling program for your school, please download proposal here.
To pledge your recyclables (suggested list) & support our program, please fill up the following and email to us or fax to 62340176. Reusable bags & holders (16.75" x 11.75" x 35.5" - see collection process for picture) will be provided. Please call 63431270 for more information or drop us an email at enquiry@marcomresource.com. Your support, can really make a difference, is greatly appreciated. Last but not least, do help spread the word of our recycling program to people you know so that more people can take part in saving the only earth we have.
Everyone can be a part of it. Let's help to recycle, reuse & reduce wastage together.
Thank you, Management of Marcom Recycling Point

NEWS -- Reuters on dating ...

When the chips are down, Singapore singles go dating

(14 Feb 2009 12:53)

SINGAPORE, Feb 14 (Reuters Life!) - Singapore's economic downturn may prove to be Cupid's ally as dating agencies in the city state have reported a spike up in the number of singles signing up to find partners, the Straits Times said on Saturday.

Matchmakers, online dating networks and agencies were bracing for a slowdown when the economy took a turn for the worse last year but instead have seen a jump in their numbers, the newspaper said.

"Members have been telling me that they are feeling more anxious and lonely, and the economic recession has made them more worried," Matthew Tan, founder of a dating web site Gomoviedate.com, told the English-language daily.

Some agencies pulled in up to 50 per cent more members while others have attracted almost twice the number of participants in the past four months from the same period last year.

Engineer Terry Neo, 35, who no longer has to put in late nights at work, recently turned to Gomoviedate.com. He found two dates in two months, plenty for one so busy his last date prior to signing up was three months ago.

"I just want to enlarge my social circle and take my mind off job uncertainties for a while," Neo, told the paper.

Singapore is suffering from its worst recession ever and the government expects the economy could shrank as much as 5 percent this year.

"Inherently, we are all looking for companionship -- even more so when things are down," said Violet Lim, the co-founder of Lunch Actually, an agency that sets up lunch date. "You feel the need to connect with someone more acutely."

永远吃不肥 Buffet Buffet

The first episode aired last night, introducing lunch buffets in 3 establishments.For lunch buffet below $20, Geek Terminal at Market Street (http://www.geekterminal.com/) @ $13.90 per pax - think it's best for those working in Raffles Place & who want a light lunch. For lunch buffet between $20 to $30, Carnivore at Vivocity (http://www.carnivore.com.sg/Outlets/vivo.asp) @ $28++ per pax - good for meat-eaters & those working in Vivocity vicinity. For lunch buffet above $30, Carousel at Royal Plaza on Scotts (http://dining.royalplaza.com.sg/) @ $39++ per pax - for those who can afford a leisurely lunch with international spread on a weekday at Orchard Road.

2nd episode on dinner buffets ... here are the details: Below $20, Bombay Cafe Express at Suntec City Mall (http://www.bombaycafe.com.sg/) @ $14.90++ per pax - not sure if the buffet's only available on Friday nights since that was what the programme showed. There's also another Bombay Cafe around Tanjong Katong area. I have not tried their food, so any feedback from those who had? Between $20 to $30, Harbour City Restaurant at PSA Building (http://www.harbourcity.com.sg/) @ $27.80++ per pax, only on weeknights - ala carte buffet menu of 48 dishes but subject to minimum of 4 pax to enjoy the buffet. This buffet does really look like a great-value for money, but provided you don't mind travelling to the rather remote location. I had only tried the dim sum lunch once & a long time ago, but it seemed very popular with working crowd around there Above $30, MELT - The World Cafe at Mandarin Oriental (http://www.mandarinoriental.com/singapore/dining/MELT/) @ $70++ per pax, only on weeknights - add $25++ to enjoy free flow of alcohol. As expected, the programme showed this famous buffet in Singapore.

3rd episode on tim sum buffets ... here are the details: Below $20, Lao Beijing at Plaza Singapura (http://www.tunglok.com/laobeijing/laobeijing_menus.html) @ $10.20++ per pax – only for high tea on weekdays, 3 to 5pm. For weekends & PHs, the price increases to $15.80++, but the spread has slightly more choices as well. Check out their website for the full high tea menus. It’s worth a try if you like lots of Chinese carbs. Between $20 to $30, Peach Blossom at Marina Mandarin (http://www.meritus-hotels.com/hotelresort/marinamandarin/dining/peachblossom.htm) @ $28.80++ per pax, served between 11.30am to 2.30pm, only on weekends & PHs - ala carte buffet menu of over 26 dishes. I haven’t tried it but am really tempted by the display of fried cornflake beancurds, deep fried enoki mushroom parcels and black glutinous rice with pumpkin paste dessert last night. Above $30, Hai Tien Lo at Pan Pacific (http://www.panpacific.com/en/singapore/restaurants_bars/Hai_Tien_Lo.html) @ $58++ per pax, between 11.30am to 2.30pm, only on weekends & PHs – the spread looked good, but 4 out of 5 tasters on the programme commented that the price was a little too high for dim sum, which I tend to agree, what’s more with the recession looming over our heads now.

4th episode on breakfast buffets ... here are the details: Below $20, Bistro Delifrance at various locations (http://www.delifrance.com.sg/)@ $9.90++ per pax – only on Fridays to Sundays & PHs, 8 to 10.30am. Check their website for the various bistro locations & under ‘Promotions & Hot Deals’ for the breakfast buffet details. Not sure why the flyer on the website indicated that we can have the bakery buffet breakfast at $7.95 and will need to add $3 for an additional hot meal, which was different from what was telecasted last evening, showing unlimited helpings to both their hot & bakery items. Perhaps different bistro have different menus or the flyer is outdated? Did anybody know which outlet they showcased last night? Between $20 to $30, Cafe Brio’s at Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel (http://www.millenniumhotels.com.sg/grandcopthornewaterfront/restaurant/index.html) @ $29.00++ per pax, served between 6.30 to 10.30am, on all days – the spread seemed very international, probably good for those staying nearby. I found the mention of dining al fresco alongside the Singapore River rather funny since the view is more like of a big canal, nothing spectacular. Above $30, Olive Tree Restaurant at Intercontinental Singapore ( http://www.singapore.intercontinental.com/dining/olivetree.asp) @ $36.00++ per pax, between 6 to 10.30am, on weekends & PHs – the spread actually didn’t seem as international as Café Brio’s, but is definitely more high end. They have an egg station that will freshly cook your eggs in whatever style you want, which is the norm for 4 stars hotel establishments and above. And boy, am I impressed with their selection of fresh tea leaves that are served in actual tea pots rather than cups to individual customers. The pan fried beef and cheese selection looks really yummy too. So if I’m to choose between Café Brio’s & Olive Tree, I’ll rather pay a bit more & go for the latter. After a most satisfying breakfast, we can then walk off our food by shopping to our fill at Bugis Junction.

5th episode on high tea buffets ... here are the details: Below $20, Chilli Padi Nonya Café at North Bridge Commercial Complex (http://www.hungrygowhere.com/singapore/chilli_padi_nonya_cafe/)@ $8.80+ per pax – there’s this other website - http://www.chillipadi.com.sg/, but I’m not sure if this is the main restaurant’s website or even related to Chilli Padi Nonya café, thus I link up the hungry-go-where website which I feel has the best details & reviews. The high tea buffet is served on all days of the weeks, 2.30pm to 5.30pm, and I think it’s $7.80+ on weekdays, add a dollar for weekends. I was salivating over the spread on tv last night, especially the nonya kuehs, kueh pie ti, chwee kueh & chilled sago with gula melaka. Seems like they rotate their daily menus, thus you may get your favorites on certain days. The spread may not be huge but it’s definitely worth a try for that price. For your information, North Bridge Commercial Complex is just opposite Bugis Junction. Between $20 to $30, Ellenborough Market Café at Swissotel Merchant Court ( http://www.swissotel.com/EN/Destinations/Singapore/Swissotel+Merchant+Court/HOTEL+HOME/Gallery/Dining/Ellenborough+Market+Cafe.htm) @ $28.00++ per pax, served between 3.30pm to 5.30pm, only on weekends and PHs – needless be much said about this popular buffet with Singaporeans. It’s got a reasonably good spread, just don’t expect very nice ambience as I tend to think the café is always overcrowded. The cold chempedak dessert did look very tempting though. Above $30, Tea Lounge at The Regent Singapore ( http://www.regenthotels.com/hotels/risin/dinings) @ $36.00++ per pax, served between 1.30pm to 5.30pm on weekends – this is a classic English tea buffet, probably more suitable for ladies of leisure or bunch of girls meeting up for a get-together or couples wanting a quiet afternoon to cosy up to each other. Can you imagine a bunch of guys or big families gathering at this place? I think that explained why Terence Cao kept going over to join the other 2 female tasters last night since it would be a bit awkward for him to sit alone and sample English tea. Anyway, interesting items to try include the Yuzu tarlet, cherry trifle and macarons.

6th episode on dessert buffets ...Steamboat Buffet Zheng Fa Steamboat - Less Than 20 @ $18.90++, on weekdays. Website: http://www.hungrygowhere.com/singapore/chin_huat_live_seafood_thomson/ (Chin Huat don't have their own website, so this is the best). I was surprised by the indoor decor as it really didn't look very nice outside. I found the uniforms of the staff rather corny, but overall, I wouldn't mind patronising this place with my family or a big bunch of friends so that we can share food & try everything. The desserts really looked interesting, and I am impressed by the fact that they don't only offer steamboat, but also grill/bbq & teppanyaki, & at such low price. I bet this place is going to get swamped from now onwards, & I regret not trying it before the telecast. Chongqing Steamboat @ Tanglin Mall - Less than 30 @ $29.90++ on weekdays & $30.90++ on weekends. Website: http://www.chinesefeasts.com.sg/restaurants.html. The restaurant is more correctly known as The Magic of Chongqing Hot Pot, & you can find the extensive menu on the website above. I like their sauces a lot, and all the 1-serving Jing Chuan Dian Xin items are worth a try. The 8-treasure tea served is a bonus as it really aided digestion of food. The Buffet @ M Hotel - Above 30 @ $38++ on weekdays. Website: http://www.millenniumhotels.com.sg/mhotelsingapore/restaurant/theBuffet.html. The hotpot buffet showcased last night is really impressive, but I think more suited for seafood lovers since they focus their themes around seafood. I salivated over the drunken prawns cooked on the spot & mushroom varieties & chinese herbs that you can add all you want to your soup, and of course, the durian pengat.

7th episode on dessert buffets ... Below $20, Mingles at Velocity (Novena Square) – ice cream buffet @ $14.90++ per pax, available for high tea everyday – no official website so please refer to this: http://www.hungrygowhere.com/singapore/mingles_velocity/. The buffet offers 24 flavours of New Zealand Natural ice cream, with unlimited waffles (not served whole but in small slices) & 1 drink per customer. It may be too much to eat just ice cream unless you are a true-blue ice cream fan, so a suggestion is to go for their set lunches or dinners, which will give you main course, drink & dessert/soup. I tried this place a couple of times, & rather enjoyed their sausages & rosti. However, this place is definitely not meant for hanging out or big crowds. Between $20 to $30, The Rose Veranda at Shangri-La Hotel - dessert buffet @ $28++ per pax, available between 3 to 6pm on weekdays. http://www.shangri-la.com/en/property/singapore/shangrila/dining/restaurant/roseveranda. I actually think this is the most worthy of the lot showcased last night, & would love to give it a try when I can find time to take the afternoon off from work & have a leisurely high tea with my friends or other half. Being a female & tea drinker, I love the rose patterned crockery & am amazed by the 102 varieties of tea available. Apparently, they also serve tea cocktails, which are chargeable. Temptations include the crème brulee, mango & mint minestrone, lemongrass & chocolate mousse topped with crunchy chocolate balls, durian cake & chocolate fondue. They also have a selection of hot items for this buffet, which is great for those who are not die hard dessert fans.
Above $30, The Courtyard at Fullerton Hotel – chocolate buffet @ $38++ per pax, available Thur through Sat nights. http://www.fullertonhotel.com/swf/main.html#/dining/thecourtyard/. Well, another well known buffet, so I’m not going to say too much. I have never tried it since I don’t fancy gorging myself on chocolate, not that I don’t love chocolate, but I just don’t wish to run at the sight of chocolate for a long time after that. The only items that caught my attention last night are the lychee tiramisu and white chocolate soup.

8th episode on brunch buffets ... Below $20, Penang Place Restaurant at International Business Park – not exactly brunch buffet but more like lunch buffet @ $19.80++ per pax, available daily from 11.30am to 2pm except on Sundays when they close – http://www.penangplace.com/. I tried this before, & have to say that I really enjoyed the spread. It is always very crowded though, so you definitely need to make reservations, even on weekdays. You can refer to the website for the buffet items. Between $20 to $30, The Pearl River Palace Restaurant at Suntec City Convention Centre Level 3 – ala carte Cantonese lunch buffet @ $28++ per pax, available between 11.30am to 2.30pm on weekends. Being such a traditional Chinese establishment, they do not have their own website, but you can get good reviews at http://www.hungrygowhere.com/singapore/pearl_river_palace/. It seems like a good central venue for family get-together makan sessions on weekends with the usual Chinese restaurant fare, tim sum selection & desserts, & as usual, being able to shop after a heavy makan session is a plus point. Above $30, Checkers Brasserie at Hilton Singapore – Sunday champagne buffet @ $160++ per pax, available from 12pm to 3pm. Without free flow champagne, it’s $70++ per adult & $25++ per child. http://www1.hilton.com/en_US/hi/hotel/SINHITW-Hilton-Singapore-hotel/dining.do;jsessionid=17BE3DCE5A2E6071BC2B21DAF1E7FCAB.etc73#2. It sounds crazy to pay that kind of $$ for champagne plus lunch, especially when the atmosphere isn’t exactly leisurely or relaxed with a kids’ corner on the same premises. It also seemed so crowded and noisy in the show but if you have the cash to spare, can try for the seafood, western hot entrees like roast beef, foie gras (WOW!) & Yorkshire pudding, Indian cuisine like lamb kebabs & naans, Chinese selection like crepes with Peking duck and of course desserts.
