^ Nasi tumpeng is just yellow rice, and yes usually people serve it when you celebrate something, birthday, grand opening, wedding etc.
Basically imagine having nasi padang but with yellow rice in a conical shape. :D

If you serve one big nasi tumpeng, then everybody will just share from that one big pile of rice.

Re: Batam Info / Interest / Help Thread
 

That means everyone in the celebration will share that cone shaped pile of rice?And the food on its plater? Like a buffet? :eek:

Re: Batam Info / Interest / Help Thread
 

^ In a way you can call buffet style. The tumpeng can get very big :D:D

Hehehe...how hard i work,the properties i owned,the money in my accounts,they were meant for when i am still living. I speak and targeted for when i am still living,not when i am dead or be going 6 feet down under. Living itself is hell or heaven,depends on oneself even when everyone knows they will eventually pass on. We all have the responsibilities and choice/s when we are still living. For when i am dead, worldly stuffs were definitely no longer be of importance anymore. BUT i am still living as i am making this post.

No one wish to live and later with regrets brought into his/her grave. :p

All that you said above will no longer be of importance,whether which part of my earthly self is at or how long i could keep them. My say,my words,my physical assets and decision is of no importance once i am out of this world.

As for Old Lee, if there is an afterlife,if there are retribution/s (retribution in my saying here can mean both good and bad,..good returns,bad returns),if there is sow what you reap in an afterlife,let him be reborn,in a regular Singaporean family. Let him reap what's sowed of his past life,be it its ultimate result of good and bad.

Whatever goes around,comes around...this life or after it,and if not otherwise, it will be his/her next generation. It always returns back to the one who couldnt get pass that "line". And situation repeats and repeats and repeats...,take look at the hell you probably know...its a most always a neverending repeats of whats been sowed,which were practically told in every good religion. Its like a cycle for those who are not right and may be even so for those who were always right (or at least what he/she think is always right).


A very good example will be the batam info thread (and likely other threads too)...you will notice a whole sequence of repeating itself in many encountered situations,and i mean to say whether one is reading the 2007 part of this Batam thread (older thread) or the current 2017 one and even for the future ones too. Most basic part of it were going in circle,hehehe...surprising i learn most of what i shared in this post from one of the old testament bible book called Ecclesiastes...

(for non christian who wish to keep reading the below links,just take the mention of the "God" word as the "God" you believe in or if you are free thinker,just minus out the "God" word,do keep an open mind)

Retiring in Batam
 

Continued from page 603...

Accessibility from singapore (JB more accessible & can be access 24/7)

To some of us who stay at the south of spore take about 1.5 hours to reach batam and may take about 2 hours to reach JB. But to those who stay at the north or north west spore may take a shorter time to reach JB than Batam.

Therefore in terms of distance to spore, JB and Batam are almost the same, depending on which part of spore you are staying. However, one thing for sure you can travel anytime to JB as there is always transport 24 hours in case of any emergency, but there is limitation if you want to travel to Batam e.g. you cannot go to batam at midnight as the last ferry to Batam is 9.30pm. In addition JB is definitely more easily accessible to singapore.

Spore to JB :
1) By land (woodland and tuas),
2) By rail (KTM train woodland),
3) By sea (changi ferry),
4) By Rapid Transit System (future thomson line extension from Woodland North Station to Bukit Chagar JB Custom ) Year 2024 in operation
5) By High Speed Rail travelling at 250km/h (future HSR jurong east - JB nusajaya) Expected to operate in Year 2025

Spore to Batam :
1) By sea only (ferry) kesihan lah...
