How Lunar years are calculated (The Sexagenary Cycle)
An important aspect of the Chinese calendar is the sexagenary cycle (干支, gan zhi). This is a combination of the 10 heavenly stems (天干, tian gan), and the 12 earthly branches (地支, di zhi).

Stems	天干	Tian Gan	Element	Branches	地支	Di Zhi	Animal
1	甲	jia	Wood	1	子	zi	Rat
2	乙	yi	Wood	2	丑	chou	Ox
3	丙	bing	Fire	3	寅	yin	Tiger
4	丁	ding	Fire	4	卯	mao	Rabbit
5	戊	wu	Earth	5	辰	chen	Dragon
6	己	ji	Earth	6	巳	si	Snake
7	庚	geng	Metal	7	午	wu	Horse
8	辛	xin	Metal	8	未	wei	Goat
9	壬	ren	Water	9	申	shen	Monkey
10	癸	gui	Water	10	酉	you	Chicken
				11	戌	xu	Dog
				12	亥	hai	Pig

To explain how this cycle works, let us denote both the stems and the branches by their numbers. We denote 1 by (1,1) or (甲,子), 2 by (2,2) or (乙,丑) and so on up to (10,10) or (癸,酉). But now we have run out of stems, so we denote 11 by (1, 11) or (甲,戌) and 12 by (2, 12) or (乙,亥). Now we have run out of branches, too, so 13 becomes (3, 1) or (丙,子). We continue in this way through 6 cycles of stems and 5 cycles of branches up to 60, which is (10, 12) or (癸,亥). The next number is then (1,1) or (甲,子), which starts a new sexagenary cycle.

In Chinese calendar terminology:
Great Year = 12 years
Cycle = 5 Great Years = 60 years
Epoch = 60 Cycles = 3,600 years

Year 2007 is now in the Second Epoch, 18th Cycle, 24rd Year(丁,亥). By this method of counting, the Chinese Calendar is now in the Year 4704.

Ceiling cracked & falling

Renovation works was going on above my unit & their continuous drilling knocking cracked my newly painted ceiling!! It started this morning when small pieces was found at the sink.

When up to inform them but guess the drilling is too noisy for them to hear our knocking. Called the mobile found on the reno notice by the door, but no one picking up. Maybe he's inside too.

Later in the afternoon, worst! Bigger pieces came falling down. When up again, knocked on the door & one of the workers open the door. Informed them that portion of our ceiling is falling & he came down to have a look. Guess what? Was told that they can't do anything about it now & have to wait till the next group of workers (cementing) come, than can help us to cover the holes / cracks.

Logged on to the HDB website & query on my issue, pending their reply.

Islandwide Transport Master Plan

Have you ever wonder how our future island transport system layout will be like? With the initial of only 5 Northern station (Yio Chu Kang, Ang Mo Kio, Bishan, Braddell & Toa Payoh) in 1987 to current 51 station all over Singapore major estate & Circle Line under construction, the future of it is not hard to imagine.

After checking out the Master plan on the right, do you have the feeling of being lost when transfering within the MRT system? With the MRT branched so nicely covering all major & new estates, is there still a need to own a car? or even taking other public transport like Taxi & Buses?
