1st time meeting in RC zone 11

I met with some of the RC (Resident Committee) leader mid of last year and put the application to join Pioneer Zone 11 RC as a Grassroot Leader later. No other reason, I just want to know how they maintain the HSE (Health, Safety & Environment) around the resident area and how they organize these activities for residents.

To me, the contents of the meeting is quite interesting, including a lot trivial matters, for examples: one cobra was caught finally; children fighting at study corner; bicycle stolen by someone; something put outside in an unsafe way; to identify needy family during economic downturn; open house for opening of Pioneer MRT station; happy birthday to 4 members; activities preparation for this year including 10th anniversary for zone 11; looking for suggesting and improvement etc.

For 1st 3 month, I am still not a formal member, and as an observer.

Motor bike inspection at Vicom Inspection Center

According the LTA (Land Transport Authority), motorcycle need to send for inspection every 3 years, otherwise you can renew your road tax and insurance plan. so i decided to go for the nearest one - Vicom (Bt Batok).

Testing fee: S$ 18.19 inclusive 7% GST for 1st inspection;
Testing Period: 10 mins;
Testing method: it looks quite completed, physical check, special check at exhaust outlet, record sound level of engine etc...
Got failed? I did see some one failed (the rider showed long face after getting result), and had to repair according and go for testing again.

My bike passed testing, and received the test certificate on the spot.
