Our family and I took a little trip in Seoul last year during the summer months. Included in the itinerary were a trip to the well-known Alpaca World, which all three of my children were very excited about, and a day’s journey to the Demilitarized Area ( DMZ), which both of the boys found to be much more exciting.  ,
True to form, Alpaca World had great pleasure price. As swarms of animals rushed down the hill in a serving frenzy, I squealed in happiness. We wandered around the area for hours, stopping to observe adorable animals, but in reality, we only learned so much about animals in the end.  ,
In contrast, the DMZ was big going, weighed down by a sense of politeness and sincerity throughout.  ,
My children respectfully followed our guide from one combat site to another. They viewed North Korea from viewing platforms. They listened to the loud music blaring through monitors on both edges. Yet they made a wild game-of-aggression trip down the Third Tunnel.  ,
They listened ominously to our guide’s poignant account of North-South family meetings and how battle has shaped Asian food (army stew was made from scraps of food from American military installations, and dakgalbi is riddled with cabbage because it was cheap and filling ) at Freedom Bridge.  ,
Decades later, no one talks about Alpaca World.  ,
Every now and then, we find ourselves discussing everything we learnt from that “less interesting” DMZ vacation.  ,
My eldest, aged 14, speaks about why claims like” the Chinese have thinner food” don’t take into account the whole picture. My second-born, post-PSLE, displays problems that one government’s version of history could be so greatly different from another’s. My seven-year-old finds it “gross” that poop-bombs are a warfare strategy.  ,
Singapore’s individual National Gallery Museum encourages a three-prong approach to start discussions about art: Discover, believe, wonder. I’ve adopted this for a complete myriad of things, including vacation.  ,
Whether you are at the DMZ, Disneyland or a social project in the middle of a remote Chinese town,” see think wonder” invites you to pause, join and ask questions. It reminds us to be present and wondering, regardless of where we are and what we’re doing.  ,
Whether we’re at a border area, a gallery, or even a park what we get out of it is up to us. Do we emphasize optics or knowledge? Mirror or action? Presence or efficiency?  ,
That’s what distinguishes a journey that ends when the bags are packed from one that sticks in the mind for a while.  ,

A man in a Project Acai cafe hurled racist slurs and threw a tip box at the cashier was jailed for four weeks and fined S$ 4, 000 ( US$$ 2, 900 ) on Monday ( Dec 30 ).

For the impulsive work of throwing the idea field, Mr Lim highlighted that Rishi’s cause was one of “unchecked animosity” towards the target.
He also disclosed to the court that Rishi was given a three-month jail term in August for committing an act of evil by fire.
Rishi, who did not have a lawyer, told the judge that his steps were a mistake and that he had said” some stuff… in the heat of the moment”.
” I should have just walked away rather of… reacting so hastily and disruptively”, he said.
” It seems like my second time in prison wasn’t enough to completely alter my attitude and behavior,” he said.
District Judge Janet Wang sentenced Rishi for the offence that caused people unrest and that the law recognizes the need to shield support personnel from abuse.
She added that Rishi appeared to had learned some truth about his crime after venting his regrets.

SINGAPORE: A 27-year-old male secretly recorded romantic movies of his ex-girlfriend and threatened to send them to her family and friends.
Aaryan Raina Gobinath admitted to one combined charge of making such threats , knowing that this would result in the victim’s distress, and was sentenced to 14 weeks in jail on Monday ( Dec 23 ).
Another mashup of the charge of making personal recordings of the sufferer without the victim’s consent was considered for punishment.

On another occasion, on December 14, 2022, they had a film visit, and Gobinath was upset that the victim claimed he was “dead to her,” according to Deputy Public Prosecutor Gabriel Lee.
Gobinath , asked the sufferer to check if her friends had seen personal videos of her, naming two of her close friends in particular.
He said he would “embarrass the s*** out of” her, that he would also give her personal videos to her nephew, and that he , may give every video tape that showed her private parts.
On March 10, 2023, Gobinath questioned his ex-girlfriend about her game accounts and claimed she was “daring” him because he had personal video and screengrabs of her.
The four close videos are contained in a Google Drive link that he sent her. That was when the sufferer found out about the three key audio, and became alarmed.
Eventually, Gobinath sent her a piece from the November 2022 movie followed by her family’s telephone number.
The target ignored his emails and blocked his quantity because she thought it was a threat.
Gobinath threatened to send the victim another piece of the picture to her parents and brother while using a unique messaging app,  .
The girl reported to the police the following day.
The prosecutors sought 15 to 18 months ‘ prison, while the army asked for the lowest possible paragraph.
Mr. Rajan Supramaniam, Gobinath’s attorney, claimed that his client regretted his actions and had deliberately sought pastor-led anger management counseling.
The lawyer claimed Gobinath had even written an explanation letter to the target and that the situation had had an impact on his job and income.
Threatening to disperse sensual photos of someone without their consent is punishable by up to five years in jail, which could include a fine, a caning, or both.
As Gobinath’s command was amalgamated, he may have faced up to twice the penalties.
