		<description><![CDATA[Here comes the depressing news. With effect from 07/07/2008, the Land Transport Authority (LTA), in conjunction with the Singapore government, is attempting to further burn deeper holes out of the pockets of local motorists. Escalating fuel costs aside, motorists now have to contend with both higher ERP rates AND new ERP gantries around the city [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=amoebarepublic.wordpress.com&blog=2794148&post=71&subd=amoebarepublic&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I read with interest the cover story on LIFE (Thursday, June 19th) which featured how local arts groups have deviated away from the conventional sources for sponsorship and are increasingly looking into companies which on first glance, have nothing to do with the arts.
As an ardent supporter of the local arts scene, and having dealt [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=amoebarepublic.wordpress.com&blog=2794148&post=70&subd=amoebarepublic&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

We&#8217;ve updated our &#8220;MOVIES&#8221; page with not one, not two, but three movie reviews of three blockbusters which I&#8217;m sure, many have been waiting with bated breaths.

		<description><![CDATA[The Pick-Me-Up Book was first launched in January this year when a group of 12 graduates from the program, The Courage to Create, was given an impossible deadline of 24 hours to write a book. The book is a collection of true stories about how people managed to overcome their dire circumstances when facing long odds, and turned their dreams into reality.

Given the resounding response thus far, a second edition of the book will be launched at the World Book Fair this weekend. The upcoming launch will include both an English and a Mandarin version of the book. 

The highlight of this edition is the story by Charmaine Tan, a 13-year-old wish-child from Make-A-Wish Foundation who is suffering from end-stage kidney failure, on top of a congenital eye disease which has led to her being visually-impaired today. Her wish, is to become a published author. <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=amoebarepublic.wordpress.com&blog=2794148&post=65&subd=amoebarepublic&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Harold &#38; Kumar: Escape From Guantanamo Bay is the highly-anticipated sequel to Harold &#38; Kumar Go To White Castle. The latter has been much-heralded as a classic, for its nonsensical irreverent spoofs and satirically random occurrences which leave the audiences in stitches. How will the sequel fare with us?
