"Ordinary" by The Sam Willows

I like this song a lot and also support TeamSG at the Games!

A disaster simulation game from the UN/ISDR

I came across this online game some time back called "Stop Disasters!" by the International Strategy for Disaster Reduction that educates people on preparing against natural disasters such as tsunamis, hurricanes, earthquakes, and floods. Besides the game, the website is full of information on spotting the signs of a disaster, how to be prepared as a community for it, what to do when it strikes, and how to manage after it strikes, etc.

ElectroCity Game

I came across this online game yesterday where the objective is to build a virtual city using various methods of generating electricity. You start with a small town, growing it by building different structures and feeding it with a steady source of energy while ensuring the environment is clean. You can see the cities I have built by doing a search on "James Ng" as the player's name. The great thing about this game is that you can play it without any registration.

CASHFLOW

Have you played the board-game CASHFLOW by Robert Kiyosaki, whereby its concept is based on his series of books that includes "Rich Dad, Poor Dad"? I was asked by an ex-colleague to go along with her for a seminar-like session to play the game and learn about financial planning that allows one to achieve financial freedom. It was rather fun and I got to know some basic concepts which I more or less have ideas of but never quite spend much time thinking about.

Good things must share. Another game-playing session for beginners (CASHFLOW 101) is going to be held on February the 4th (Sunday), if you are interested...

[Online Game] Sleuth

I have been playing an online game called 'Sleuth' lately and I have to say it's good enough for me to be slightly addicted. Sleuth is an open-ended detective RPG where you solve mysteries by searching for clues, questioning suspects and interviewing witnesses. Every mystery is unique, with different victims, suspects and clues. All mysteries are solvable, in fact there are always two ways to solve any single mystery, but player skill and a small amount of luck are necessary to nab the guilty suspect. My detective has been doing okay, having 1960 experience points and 63 skill points in 105 days of game-play. You can play this game for free or pay to get more features and play more cases in different cities. Sleuth is found here -> http://sleuth.hypotheticalsoftware.com/.
