MacDonald Hello Kitty Online Delivery

The delivery of the MacDonald Hello Kitty are been send out from 27 July to 15 August 2015. They will only made 2 attempts to the designated delivery address. If you missed the 1st attempt like me then you are in some hard luck.

They will made the first delivery without giving you any notification in advance. Other logistic companies will call you 1 hour before they made their way to your delivery address. I wonder is it that MacDonald under pay them on the logistic fees.

You may attempt to email Dpex at sin.mcd.grp@dpex.com with your order number.
But be prepare as nobody may even answer your email within the next working days.

The call centre is also not professional as they refuse to give you a schedule date and just briefly mentioned that it will be send between now and 15 August and she decline to give a date. Please call the Dpex contact centre at 6543 9110 to reschedule the next delivery. There will not tell you on the spot but just mention that someone will call you for the next delivery date.

I would give Dpex contact centre staff a rating of 2 out of 5. It is definetly not a logistic company I would select for my personal or business use.

Why do we feel cold when getting in and out of swimming pool?

We will feel cold when jumping into a pool as the skin temperature will drops rapidly. We will lose heat through our skin to the pool. After a few minutes, we will not feel cold as our body temperature will be similar to the pool temperature.

We will also feel cold when getting out of a pool. The body produce heat to keep us warm while we were in the pool. Once we leave the pool, there will be water on the skin. The body heat is transfer to the water. The water droplet will gain energy and evaporate. Due to the evaporation, our body will lose heat and we will feel cold as a result.

SMRT Breakdown July 2015

I was returning home after work as usual at Yishun MRT at around 7PM. I reach the platform and saw both the north and south bound trains at the platform. The doors were open and only have 50% of the lighting. I board the north bound train thinking that there is no issue with the train.

It is actually the start of the major MRT breakdown of 2015. The train captain update that the power track had some issue and the engineers were rectifying the issue. He keep repeating the announcements periodically to update the passengers.

Cabin lights are only 50% switch on.

Communters rushing out of the stations to catch the free bus.

No free bus bridging available yet and communters choose to take whatever services is available to their next destination.

This is the first time that all the North South and East West LInes are down at the same time.
I manage to catch service 169 to Woodlands and then changing to 964 to reach my final destination at Admiralty MRT. It was a 1.5 hours journey with so much communters catching bus back home for dinner. Many of our muslim friends also need to break fast outside instead of at home with their family.

SMRT announce on July 08 that they wanted to stop the train services between 1100hrs to 1600hrs on North South Line as they have not identified the root cause. The time table for the affected lines are as listed below.

But they never took the intended action and announced that train services will continue as normal.
