hee hee hee finally a topic where all can join. talking about branded goods is not really my field haa haa haa.
but i think got pros and cons lah. the management should do something for the senior staffs too or else they are going to lose well-trained staffs and cause morale issue......for my increment i told wifey that its for this year only lah haa haa haa
i see the fresh grads i also buay song!!! but fact is the stuffs they studied is more then what we studied back in the old days......they are exposed to more theory stuff thus believing they got a strong foundation mah. so the pay they got is naturally higher....
judy, me not the investing type so prob will never be rich haa haa haa....
you can meetup with any of us and go together mah at least save abit on cab fare hehehe i will prob only reach novena ard 6.45pm (how i miss school life, national day eve half day!!!) so maybe we can meet up and go together hee hee hee

Eh i m back!! busy the whole morning!! now then got time to post.
Bintan was one of the best holidays i had.. do nothing but eat and slp.. heehee.. too bad, it was rainy so didn't get a tan.
WX watever date will be ok.. wah at Balestier ah! so near my parents place! in fact, my parents stay the next lane.
Wat's this thing abt fresh grad pay? Did u guys get an increment to compensate for the pay cut? I did. those employed aft the May 2004 paycut got another increment. so i guess for the public sector there is a diff btw fresh grad and non-fresh grads.
Cherz, u shd be getting an increment too right?

Hello, busy day.. was away from school for 3 wks plus so lots to catch up.
Cherz, ya cos ur starting pay is dependent on wat class of hons u get. But the subsequent increment will be dependent on ur performance liao. so cheer up. May be next yr u get a big fat one.
Dajie, how can u be possibly any darker when u are so dark liao? lucky u got a tan.. i got nothing...
Simpsons the movie? haven't caught it but i don't think young kids will catch the jokes right?

Also to kill my time w/o hb,i got my nephew to do many assessment exercises his mum got for him.P1 not easy stuff.He can do but many careless mistakes.Later,gonna give him spelling test.Hahaha!!!

Hello!
Looks like DH finally made an appearance! DH, what part time cleaner? Gd or not? can PM me the contact? I am getting sick of cleaning my house.
Dajie, hahaha ur nephew must be very smart, unlike me, cos i can't catch those satirical jokes from the Simpsons!
What's our purpose of our existance? I wonder abt it everyday. and its making me depress.. i dun wanna live a life everybody else is living.. if everybody is contented to live the life everybody else has, we would nv progress at all. i don't want to be like everybody else, yet lack of the strength to be different from the rest. I don't want my existance to be only known to the ppl who love me... sigh...

Hello.. not feeling well today, hence working from home.
Anise, u did the make up for my cousin ah? time really flew hor.. 10 mths since my wedding... happy choosing ur photos!
You guys never once wondered abt ur existance? I have been always thinking of it.. and strangely, it mostly happened while i m in the loo. i have been thinking of it since i was young, in pri sch. why do i see things the way I do? why do i have consciousness? What's my role in the world? Even if u just compare urself with the rest of the homo sapiens, that is another 6.5 billion ppl... and if u incld animals and plants, aren't you even smaller in the scheme of things?
You guys really just want to find ur soul mate, marry him/her, buy a house, buy a car, start a family, care for ur kids, watch them grow up, retire, and then wait to die? i mean honestly most of us (99.9% of us) look at the people around us and are contented when we see that we are doing wat most other ppl are doing. We don't push ourselves much to do more. Or issit that we dun dare to do more than wat the majority is doing cos we scared to fail or we are too lazy?
I want to make a difference but I am scared to fail... i think for me the biggest obstacle is being afraid that once i divert away from the usual path, it might not be what I want to do... sigh... but i dun want to be just ordinary either.

ah bear,
i'm sure all of us here hv wondered abt tt one time or the other.Not all may hv thot so deeply as u hv.
I believe some of us r here not for the big things in life.I believe we can make a difference thru the small everyday things.If we focus on the big stuff,we forget abt the small equally as impt stuff lor.
For me,i feel tt i'm pretty gd at wat i do.I serve others.I wanna my smile to be contagious.I wanna be able to do this well then think abt even doing the bigger stuff.Bigger suff to me maybe bringing up a another life.So tt he/she will be able to think tt his/her mummy was a great mummy though she wasnt an astranaut or watever.Like how i think tt my late dad brought me up well with his limitations.
Oh well,to each his own.

wah,so much abt our existence..... Well, not everyone will "impact the world". As long as live life the fullest,am answerable to urself and those impt to u, thats gd enuff.
Nt really in a mood to work, had a tiff with my hb ytd. I said something and he said ok and later when I asked him abt it, he said he dun remember it and said I am imagining things. Am so pissed that things I said doesnt get into his brain and yet he said I am imagining things! Tho its a small issue, I am so angry cos it seems like I am lying!

bear: i used to have 'big ambition' when i was young. i used to mentor teenage boys and gals from the homes. bring them on camp, introduce outdoor activities to them and guide them on the right path. wanted to do all i can to contribute to society. but reality hit, i was never good in my studies, i couldnt get into nus and do degree in social work. that was when i realised that to help pple and earn a little living in singapore require us to have qualifications. hard sad truth. that was also a turning point, i just abandon it all and focus only on myself now. sometimes i do want to continue taking the road less travelled. hoping to make an impact to someone's life... but at times it is xin you yu li bu zhu.
I still harbour the thou of being a vounteer in 3rd world country one day. maybe when I am ready to get out of my comfort zone... prob in another 10 years.
bear: don be so afraid of failure. it is the process that matters... not really the results.

went to watch the simpson with my dept pple jsut now. had a chat with the new female lawyer. think she is about 25 this year.
We were talking about the films produced by jack neo. she felt that in the production 'money not enough' jack neo exagarated the local context. too much hokkien is used. she went on to say that even thou she speaks hokkien, she never went to that extend. then she pause a while, say 'but maybe in the heartland, they do..'
this conversation left me thinking... 'we are from different world.' she probably came from a perfect world. parents are educated, had good jobs so they never have to worry about money thru the growing up years. then she is a lawyer, starting pay is about 4.5k. so money is also not a problem for her...
i didnt say much to her cos i felt we wont understand how it feels to be worrying about putting food on the table and trying to make ends meet throughout growing years... haha, i felt quite at home with jack neo's production thou. I am part of the heartlanders. lol
We were talking about the films produced by jack neo. she felt that in the production 'money not enough' jack neo exagarated the local context. too much hokkien is used. she went on to say that even thou she speaks hokkien, she never went to that extend. then she pause a while, say 'but maybe in the heartland, they do..'
this conversation left me thinking...

morning peeps!!!
sue, is your hb facing some difficulties?? coz the actions seems like he got some problem but you know men. got problem wont tell one.....expect you to "spiritually link" with the brain and know.
but that is juz speculation on my part. you should know him best so look out for small actions, if he really is facing problem will surely have small actions so show he got problem.....
dont be angry ok thou he is not telling you things but at least get the facts rite then unleash hell on him if he is in the wrong....
judy, what you say i too agree. i feel that dialect is our root and also a reminder to who we are. i cant imagine if someone ask me which dialect group i belong to since there are so many and i cant answer them.....
da jie, like that sure blue black one.....use to hear those elderly say that need to use needle to poke a hole to let the blood out.....(hair stand!!)
bear, what you have mentioned i myself have personally thought about it since young too and i really feel that it is up to the individual to define their own purpose in life coz to some, having a family is their ultimate goal in life while for some it is to be the best in their industry or field of work. i use to think (since young) that the earth is dying and what can i do to protect and save it but every time i will end up thinking that i am too small to do anything until a few years ago i realise i dont have to do anything big juz need to contribute to the greater good and i will be helping those who are contributing a little to the greater good to achieve the greatness that we strive. sad to say i still leave my computer overnight.....succumb to personal gain......
there are alot of times when i see ppl ard me doing things which is clearly wrong and i feel that i can do something but i dont. why? for example you see someone not moving in while in the mrt and you can of course ask him to move in but what if he choses treat you as non-existance??? all your words will fall on deaf ears.....and in the end you became the one making all the noise and disturbing ppl....you see where im going...its the same as you, i wanna make a difference but im scared. so i probably belong to the group which want to make a difference but have no guts to do it......
my concept of big things is the same as da jie, raising a kid can be a simple mundane tasks but to really teach them the value of life is another adventure. i should not say teach but to go thru and experience things together and at the same time impart what you have known coz what you relate to him might go be related to another 10 and another 10 and it juz goes on. if that were to happen i will have cause an impact on the lives of many and that certainly makes me feel good.

Hello!
First and foremost, I can say i m not depressed or feeling low.. These are rheotical qns i ponder on a daily basis. and i just came back from a break!
Tea, i m not surprised. I got a fren whose dad picks her up wherever she is, after work. some ppl are really sheltered. But thank gdness that fren is pretty level headed. My cousins also turn their noses up at my other relatives cos they think these 'poorer' relatives are noisy and crude. One of them wants to stay in England (coincidentally she is a lawyer too) as she thinks s'pore is too uncivilised.
Sue, yups nagging is a big turn off but to tell a woman not to nag is like to tell her not to breath! it's in our DNA lah. I guess all i can say is to minimise ur nagging lor... i find silent treatment the best.
Abt what we have been talking abt, some ppl see the big picture, some see a smaller one. I guess i tend to think that smaller things are what most ppl concentrate on. some do them well, some don't. but my pt is we worry abt the 'smaller' things that have direct impacts on us. and most ppl who want to do something different worry abt what others think of us. I am guilty of it too. that's why i say i dun have the courage to live the life i think i wanna live.
WX, even if the person pretends not to hear it, i will still say it. aft all it only shows that person is uncivilised. and who knows, each time u say it to a diff person, you might make that person think abt his behaviour.
Hahaha.. i think i am becoming NATO!!

bear, ya you are right that but i guess its juz my own personal barrier that i cant get thru bah... those rheotical qns i still ponder on them sometimes not daily thou hehehehe feels that everytime i ponder on those my brain cells cut by half and sometimes makes me feel helpless too....but the big picture and small picture is what alot of ppl have been trying to emphasize but small picture is always the ideal choice as it does not require alot of changes and it definitely benefits ourselves......my 2 cents
wat is NATO???
sue, its really difficult to talk to a guy when his ego kicks in hehehe i know i am hehehe LOL
