词:姚谦 曲:Jae Chong   

黄晓明:每一次短短恋爱   
就好像走过一条   
风景迥然的街~yea   
遇见每个女孩   
都像全新调配   
不同鸡尾酒口味   

赵 薇: 你电话常占线   
你很勇敢   
却常表现太腼腆   
你说情话方式   
总是缺乏变化   
换好人卡一张   
黄晓明:别只做好朋友   
听得我都蒙   
女人不该让好男人流泪   
我太多好朋友   
心中更寂寞   
你想要的是怎样男朋友   

黄晓明:每一次轻轻触电   
就感到地转天旋   
像爱情文艺片~yea   
我努力求表现   
却跑不到终点   
多情成一种浪费   

赵 薇: 你电话常占线   
你很勇敢   
却常表现太腼腆   
你说情话方式   
总是缺乏变化   
换好人卡一张   

黄晓明:别只做好朋友   
听得我都蒙   
女人不该让好男人流泪   
我太多好朋友   
心中更寂寞   
你想要的是怎样男朋友

Asia Square's Tower 2 to be up 2013

Asia Square's Tower 2 to be up 2013

SINGAPORE: Hyundai Engineering and Construction has been awarded the contract for the construction of Asia Square's Tower 2.

The South Korean contractor is currently overseeing the ongoing construction works of Asia Square Tower 1 and is scheduled to complete the building in June this year.

This brings the total value of the construction of Asia Square to more than S$1 billion.

The construction of Asia Square Tower 2 is set to be completed in 2013.

The 46-storey building will comprise Grade A office and retail space.

It will also house the five-star Westin hotel with 305 rooms over 15 levels.

Altogether, both towers will offer two million square feet of office space, with features such as large floor plates.

Long queues at banks after LNY

Long queues at banks after LNY
By Lip Kwok Wai | Posted: 08 February 2011 1832 hrs

SINGAPORE: The rush to exchange new notes at banks before the Lunar New Year may be over, but days after the festivities, queues are still forming at banks around Singapore.

This time, customers are queueing to bank in their "hong bao", or red packet money collected over the Lunar New Year.

Some banks said they saw customer numbers double over the past two days.

One bank in Toa Payoh, for instance, saw more than 10 customers queueing as early as 10.30 am, half an hour ahead of its opening time.

Many said they wanted to deposit their children's "hong bao" money in a bank, rather than keep them at home.

To manage the surge, OCBC Bank said it had deployed senior staff from its headquarters to help out at neighbourhood branches, which are the most affected during this period.

NTU opens Asia's first solar fuels lab

NTU opens Asia's first solar fuels lab

SINGAPORE: Scientists at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) can now look forward to recreating an energy process that takes place in plants to produce hydrogen fuel from water and sunlight.

NTU's new Solar Fuels Lab, which is the first of its kind in Asia, was officially opened on Tuesday morning by NTU President Designate Professor Bertil Andersson, who is a pioneer in the "artificial leaf" technology.

Inspired by nature's ability to recreate an energy-producing process through photosynthesis, researchers at NTU will be working to find suitable combinations of chemical catalysts that can speed up the artificial photosynthesis process using minimal energy.

This will be used in a device which will be able to extract large amounts of hydrogen from water using sunlight.

Incoming NTU president Bertil Andersson said: "The leaf has chlorophyll that has a lot of protein molecules that may not be stable in an artificial system.

"So the [focus of the] research is [on finding] stable components in the technological system, in a technological machinery".

The new solar fuels laboratory at NTU aim to extract hydrogen fuel using solar energy.

And instead of conventional solar cell, the lab is testing if cheap substances like rust and titanium dioxide can efficiently capture solar energy to split water into oxygen and hydrogen.

NTU visiting professor James Barber said: "We can do this reaction right now. It's no problem. We can use platinum, or we can use very expensive semi-conductor materials.

"The challenge is to devise technology which is cheap, and is robust, and made of cheap materials".

Professor Barber is one of the few world-class experts to work on the project, which comprises about a dozen researchers from NTU, including professor Michael Gratzal, Dr Heinz Frei and Dr John Turner .

NTU said it plans to deliver the prototype in three to five years.

Current technology requires huge amounts of energy to draw minute amounts of hydrogen from water which makes it commercially unviable.

When perfected, this "artificial leaf" technology can reduce dependence on crude oil and help to ease problems caused by global warming and climate change.
