DHL Important Information
 04/06/2016
Notification about the Postal Code Change in South Korea

In 1st August 2015, South Korea government converted the current 6-digit postal code structure to a new set of 5-digit postal code. DHL has set up necessary measures as below for your convenience.

How to enter postal code when requesting pick-up: You can still use the 6-digit postal code together with the new 5-digit until the end of 2015 when requesting pick-up through DHL electronic shipping solutions (ex. MyDHL)

Recommendations: Both the existing 6-digit and new 5-digit postal codes are available in all DHL Express customer applications until the end of 2015. DHL has already established dual postal code system in order to reduce the impact of postal code change. However, it is highly recommended that you use the 5-digit postal code as soon as possible since the old postal code will expire on December 31, 2015. Only new 5-digit postal code can be used beginning 1st January 2016.

To avoid customs clearance delay and misclassification issues please use the new 5-digit postal code correctly.

Please contact DHL Express Customer Service for further assistance.

杨莉明:单身男应对相亲抱持开放心态

杨莉明:单身男应对相亲抱持开放心态

婚姻不会从天而降,总理公署高级政务部长杨莉明呼吁新加坡单身男女积极地拓展社交圈子,并向韩国年轻人看齐,对相亲抱持开放心态。

协助管理人口及人才署的杨莉明今天结束对韩国的考察后,于个人面簿分享自己的观察。

已续程前往丹麦的杨莉明,在韩国访问的三天里,除了会见韩国保健福祉部长郑镇烨和雇佣劳动部长李基权,也参访当地的托儿所与红娘公司。

杨莉明在面簿写道,新加坡年轻人和韩国年轻人一样,越来越迟婚。不过韩国年轻人是因就业前景不佳,缺乏稳定收入,被迫延迟成家,新加坡人则是因乐于接受工作挑战,选择太多,以致忙着事业,错过了寻找伴侣的良机。

2014年,新加坡男性首次结婚的年龄中位数从2005年的29.7岁推延至30.2岁,女性从26.8岁推迟至28.2岁,而韩国2014年数据则显示,当地男女分别在32.4岁和29.8岁才结婚,结婚年龄较十年前迟约两年。
不过杨莉明说:“新加坡人害羞,不好意思向人求助找伴侣,加剧了问题。这点和韩国人不太一样,他们更能接受相亲,并愿意找专人帮忙。虽不愿意公开承认相亲,但若被问起,他们也不会否认。”
杨莉明鼓励新加坡人正面看待相亲。她说:“单身人士需积极地让缘分发挥魔力,这不会是偶然的。”

“韩国江南式(Gangnam style)的相亲方式虽是刻意安排的,但依然可以相当活泼轻松,而且很多时候获得家人、朋友和专业人士的帮助。早点开始积极结交新朋友,不要排斥找人帮忙,以及轻松以对似乎都是一场成功、愉悦约会的必要元素。这样的约会方式或许能帮到更多新加坡单身人士?”(联合早报记者:黄慧敏 首尔报道)

Are you cute enough for “Gwiyomi”?

BtoB's Ilhoon popularised the "Gwiyomi" song on a variety show (Youtube screengrab)BtoB's Ilhoon popularised the "Gwiyomi" song on a variety show (Youtube screengrab)

Hot on the heels of the viral phenomenon that was PSY's "Gangnam" style are the new saccharine sweet 귀요미, or "Gwiyomi" videos - the latest infectious K-pop trend to hit Asia.

Those who can't stand anything cutesy or fluffy might want to stop reading now - the "Gwiyomi" singalong song drips with bucketfuls of Korean 애교 /"aegyo" (cuteness) sweet enough to cause a toothache.

But if you're still curious - check out this video of K-pop stars performing the "Gwiyomi" dance:

But what exactly is the Gwiyomi song about?

Its basically a cutesy song about a Korean girl's adorable love for her boyfriend and how she wants him to promise that they will be together forever (via a pinky promise), ending with six kisses - one for each finger and thumb.

The repititive lyrics mimic a child's nursery rhyme and go like this: "One plus one is cute, two plus two is still cute, three plus three is also cute, etc", accompanied by numbered hand signs.

Cutesy hand signs yet unknown to mankind appear as Gwiyomi video makers get creative and add their own spin on it - from pouting and cupping their chins to pretending to be cute bunnies and kittens. The more fluff, the better.

The Gwiyomi song first made it's debut early this year as a digital single by singer Hari but did not gain fame (or notoriety) until K-pop boyband BtoB rapper Ilhoon made his own rendition of the song-and-dance on variety show "Diary Many".

His video quickly went viral and soon, virtually every K-pop idol group member - from SNSD, Super Junior, EXO, and Miss A to Big Bang and Sistar had taken part in the craze as a "Gwiyomi Player"

The craze has caught on here in Singapore after sweeping Thailand by storm, with local bloggers making videos of their own versions of the Gwiyomi song.

Watch local "ulzzang" bloggers Yutaki and Miyake's version of the Gwiyomi song below:

Responses from netizens and K-pop fans have been mixed - with some saying that it's nothing new and others calling it a harmless fun fad.

"Maybe it seems a bit too cutesy in the Singapore context, but in South Korea, where it's very common for girl friends to be 'aegyo' and act adorable, its just a fun song that they perform for their boyfriends," said

K-pop fan Lesley Goh, 19, who enjoys watching the videos.

"Of course, you have to be cute - or you'll just be fail."

Wee Xiao Hui, 23, told Yahoo! SG that she felt it wasn't anything new.

"The Taiwanese have been doing cutesy numbered hand signs and expressions for since years ago - so this is nothing new. I'm sure people will get bored of it soon - especially if you're not a teenager," said the marketing manager.

What do you think of the Gwiyomi song? Adorable or Annoying?

It's no secret that she’s hot stuff.
Korean singer Hyosung proved her popularity when her recent foray into modelling lingerie became an overnight success.
The curviest member of K-pop girl group Secret had agreed to be the spokesmodel for Korean lingerie brand Yes in January.
Her pictures were unveiled last month as part of its online and print ad campaigns.
At a Secret press conference in town yesterday, ahead of the group’s concert here on March 29, Hyosung said: “Many of us are both sexy and cute, so I feel that we all suit both images.”

Pirate Bay sails to North Korea?

Pirate Bay sails to North Korea?
Posted: 05 March 2013 1323 hrs
     
SEOUL: After Google chairman Eric Schmidt and former NBA star Dennis Rodman, the file-sharing site The Pirate Bay is claiming to be the latest unexpected visitor to North Korea.

In a posting on its website, The Pirate Bay, which was ejected from Sweden last week, claimed it had sought "virtual sanctuary" in North Korea, apparently at the personal invitation of leader Kim Jong-Un.

"Today we can reveal that we have been invited by the leader of the republic of Korea, to fight our battles from their network," the posting said.

The statement carried the website's logo of a pirate ship, whose mainsail had been coloured in the design of North Korea's national flag.

"It's a country opening up and one thing is sure, they do not care about threats like others do," it added.

The jocular tone of the post, and the mistake in referring to the "republic of Korea" -- the formal name for South not North Korea -- led some to suggest the website was playing a practical joke.

The blogging website North Korea Tech, said tracking Internet traffic from a PC to the Pirate Bay website did appear to show it flowing to North Korea's Internet gateway point.

"What happens after that is unclear," the website said Tuesday, adding that North Korea was unlikely to have the bandwidth volume needed by a site like The Pirate Bay.

The TorrentFreak website also found that The Pirate Bay was routing through a North Korean netblock, but suggested this was being used to hide Pirate Bay's true location.

"The cloud servers behind it are still believed to be hosted elsewhere in the world," it said.

Founded in 2003, The Pirate Bay -- which boasts more than 30 million users -- makes it possible to skirt copyright fees and share music, film and other files using bit torrent technology, or peer-to-peer links offered on the site.

It had hosted its website in Sweden for three years, before being forced out, and was believed to be looking at Norway and Spain as possible alternatives.

A domestic intranet was launched in North Korea in 2008, but is cut off from the rest of the world, allowing its very limited number of users to exchange state-approved information and little more.

Access to the full-blown Internet is for the super-elite only, meaning a few hundred people or maybe 1,000 at most, analysts estimate.
