SMRT has, from 18 Aug 08, begun handing out breakfast discount flyers to the early birds who exit selected downtown MRT stations between 7am and 7.30am.

This is an attempt to encourage people to make their trips earlier, before the trains become really crowded during the morning peak hour.

The nine stations where breakfast discount flyers will be distributed are Orchard, Somerset, Dhoby Ghaut, City Hall, Raffles Place, Lavender, Bugis, Tanjong Pagar and Outram Park.

Twitter! How could u!!

admin — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 09:54:58 +0000

Just like most good things, Twitter’s free international SMS service will come to a dramatic halt from today onwards. In an email to all of its members, Biz Stone, its co-founder, explained that it was something they needed to do to “avoid placing undue burden on the company and service”, as such, unless you’re in US, Canada or India, Twitter users will no longer receive free SMS alerts. Biz mentioned that they are exploring arrangements with mobile operators from “Europe, Asia, China and The Americas”, however these are all in negotiations and nothing is confirmed as yet.

How do these changes impact PetrolWatch?

Well, to be honest we didn’t see this coming at all!! With Twitter pulling the plug, we will have to look for other cost-effective ways to broadcast SMS alerts to our members. Please give us some time to work on this and we will definitely keep you updated on the progress. In the meantime, if any of you have any great ideas or suggestions, please feel free to contact us.

Save up to 16% this weekend at SPC!

admin — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 02:58:33 +0000

We have a vision for tomorrow…just believe..just believe..(c’mon sing along..you know the lyrics!)

Well, if this week is anything to go by, I would like to see this vision come true. We’ve had a hat trick of fuel discounts - First the 2 price reductions on 6 Aug 08 and now a 3rd discount just for the NDP weekend.

That’s right! The folks at SPC are offering an additional 3% discount for SPC & U members from 8 - 10 Aug 08. This means, you could possibly be saving up to 16% (Tier 4) and 13% (Tier 1) if you have a POSB Everyday credit card.

We have a hope for Singapore…We can acheive…We can achieve…
