Singapore shaken after quakes in Indonesia
*extracted from ChannelNewsAsia.com
SINGAPORE: Singaporeans felt two rounds of tremors in the space of two hours on Tuesday, following two earthquakes in Padang, Indonesia.
Singapore's Meteorological Services Division said the first tremors were felt at about 11.50am after an earthquake measuring 6.6 on the Richter scale struck Padang on the island of Sumatra.
The epicentre was 50 kilometres north-northeast of Padang and some 430 kilometres south-west of Singapore.
The second round of tremors occurred around 1.50pm after another earthquake, measuring 6.1 on the Richter scale, struck Padang.
The tremors were felt in many parts of Singapore.
Callers to the MediaCorp News Hotline reported tremors in the downtown city area of Beach Road, Robinson Road and Shenton Way, as well as residential areas such as Ang Mo Kio, Toa Payoh, Choa Chu Kang and Woodlands.
Witnesses said some tall buildings in the central business district swayed slightly.
Several buildings, like the Concourse, Capital Square and Centennial Tower in the city, and even Ngee Ann Polytechnic in Clementi, were evacuated.

BTC and more
BTC = Business Technical Communication (but also Bukit Timah Campus) haha..
anyway.. to add on yesterday post, this is an article i read from Gallo's book... i hope he dun charge me during my next tutorial for writing his content into my blog.. LOL
"
When a Hong Kong telecommunication company merged with two other companies, one in Japan and the other in the US, the CEO of the Hong Kong company had to travel to both partners to have the document signed. When he arrived in New York, he had to take a taxi to find himself a hotel room and he had to arrive at the American company headquarters all by himself. After the signing, the American CEO bid him bon voyage A few days later, when he arrived in Tokyo a chauffeur-drievn limousine was waiting for him at the airport and he was driven to a luxurious inn. This was followed by a banquet at a fabulous restaurant and drinking and singing at a bar. The following day was spent on a guided tour adn a company dinner party of over 20 seniors executives. He was even accompanied to a high class geisha house by a PR manager. The paper was signed ceremoniously on the morning of the third day. In the afternoon, he was accompanied by the CEO of the Japanese company to the airport.

This is the difference in the business culture of Japan and the United States

few interesting stuff
some interesting stuff from my BTC module abt intercultural communication..
everyone say i'm bias
coz this chapter is not tested in exam, thus i only "highlight" those related to japan.. haha..
some interesting points to note(abt japan):
1) japanese good writing style is to write with ki-sho-ten-ketsu
2) in japan, there is at least 15 ways of saying "No"
3) Pepsi-Cola's slogan "Come alive with Pepsi-Cola" is translated to "Pepsi-Cola brings your ancestors back from the grave" in Japanese
4) when presenting to japanese audiences, they would nod their heads and say nothing during the presentation. however, nodding their heads does not means that they agree, but just that they understand what you say.
some interesting points to note(general)
1) as most country take the form of hand shaking as greeting, bowing in japan, kissing cheek(s) in France and Belgium, etc etc, the MOST INTERESTING would be that KISSING LIPS IN RUSSIA.
2) In China, the normal response to an English compliment such as "Your dress looks very pretty!" is "No, no, it's very ordinary! It's cheap!", which may baffle many people from Western cultures who expect "Thank you" as a response. To Chinese, "Xie Xie" (Thank you) in this situation is likely to be seen as arrogant and strange.
3) Don't show admiration of possesions in an Arab or Latin American home as the owner will feel compelled to give you the item you have admired.
4) Physical touching in public is common among Latin Americans (more than 100 times per hour in a cafe situation)
5) In thailand, things in threes are welcomed as gift.
6) Don't buy gift for Arab women
there are still alot of interesting points which i think i'll post later i guess... tired..
