My company announce shut down during the last week of dec... till 5 jan then start work... my HB will be taking 1 or 2 days leave to accompany me. Want to ask what can we do during these few days leh... Cos normally weekends we'll prefer to laze around at home n rest, now can have more days, was thinking of some places to go, but cant think of much to do in sgp :P

Any suggestions?
 


i can only provide an idea... the rest is up to u... if u start selling christmassy stuff and end up making hundreds... by CNY u may be a new entrepreneur in the block liao...
 
I would jio my friends to see if anyone clearing their leaves during the period and go for a group trip together. If not worst to worst just rent a local resort and have a few days of gathering and bash like the good old times during holiday.
 
U can go to sentosa, spend less than $100 for 2 pax to get a promotion package, at the Imbiah area, for 4D Matric, sky luge, sky tower, images of singapore, Merlion tower, and etc.

You can opt to go to Batam for a spa, massage, cheap and nice seafood, shopping, beach activities, water sports and etc.

Nothing much to do in Singapore actually, i spend my almost 1 week holiday going for a one day sentosa trip and the rest of the days, go shopping and rotting at home....
 
Whether you go for holidays or not, it doesnt matter. Just treasure your other partner for not everyone has someone to accompany. Some could be heartbroken, jobless or even no longer can see their loved ones.
 
I oso kanna force leave during xmas wk & CNY wk... thou they say is "shutdown" but u still expected to be contactable ... crap man!
force leave = spend more
 
Tizane, looks interesting. Seem like you have been having lots of fun every night.I think singaporean has been quite conservative, this is a good chance to help us spice up our marriage.

Hey dont seem to find the store in spore? Buy online?
 
Wow... thx thx for all the contributions, will see what we can do :P

But really a bit sian, shut down for so long... haiz... watever lah... shut down, pay cut all these, no matter wat still better then retrench.
 
looks like singaporeans really like to complain a lot.

No enough holidays complain
Shutdown force leave also complain

I guess the best is to retrench then complain even more.

Can't we just appreciate a little what we have now.. make use of the time to do something you really want to do..
 
hahahah .. your office 'force' you to take leave, which i suppose is paid leave so don't be unhappy about not knowing what to do to fill up your time hor .. some other people don't have that 'luxury' let alone a job so be thankful for what you have.
 
Guess I need to find back those feeling of falling in love again... Those day like i misses my GF(wife Now) when i am wooing her, the date we been to... blah blah. My plan going to find back those feeling when I was force to clear leave. LOL.

Back to serve the nation now... reservist!!!
 
yah sm... pple complain we also complain abt them. :p

Truly Singaporeans

To be honest, only Singaporeans like to complain meh? Just like being Kiasu, i also dun think only singaporeans are Kiasu. Just dunno why only Singaporeans are being labelled :P
 
well... it depends... if forced to take leave because company in financial difficulty then, its worrying. Better use the leave to go for more interviews.
 
2 piece.

the diff is singaporeans don't action... alot of hot air, talk alot of crap but too KiaSi to do anything. It has to do with the whole social conditioning and climate.

Just read the kind of stupid comments we have on our newspapers. Its the kind of trivial things only Singaporeans will suppress and do nothing except babber about it. The same reason why only in Singapore, people crowd around MRT and buses entrances and not move in.

Not that its more GRACIOUS elsewhere. Just that in Singapore, they act blur and no one dares to do anything about it. In HK, China, India or anywhere else, people don't bother. If you don't move, they will move u physically with their actions. So, they will automatically move in.
 
Hmm... true lah... always talk talk no action...

Perhaps this is the kind of education that we receive, makes us what we're like now.
 
I tend to be more vocal. And for that, I get the stares. My wife simply hates the attention. She wants to just blend in.

There was once in Geylang, one of the small lorong. One idiotic driver just stuck her car in between not willing to move and expecting pple that illegal park to move away before she move her car. Stucked there for more than 20 mins and no one doing anything about it. I came up and gave her a piece of my mind. Her whole family was so incensed and came out scolding me and questioning what right I have to tell her off like this.

Yes, I was rude and vuglar. I could have been more 'political' just as everyone was trying to pacify that idiot driver to move aside. But, it proved that some 'fxxxing' her mind works better. Just as in NS. No point nicely talking to them. After all, she moved aside finally and everyone cheered and clapped my 'courage' to verbally shoot that idiot driver.
 
my husband also like to tell people off ..

i was at NTUC over the weekend with the family to pick up some groceries. the husband wanted to buy some cereal and there was a lady there, casually reading from a box of cereal, blocking access to the shelves with her trolley (she has 3-4 kids inside) and her mother was there too. the husband stood next to her and stared, wanting to see how long she'll take before she realises that other people also want to buy stuff - she just continued reading the box .. her mother saw my husband staring at her but also said nothing, just looked at my husband like goondu .. aiyoh .. finally he cannot take it so he asked her sarcastically, are you going to move .. then she moved away, without buying anything from there!! aiyoh!

milo, i am like your wife .. i feel embarrassed leh, like it's my husband who's causing the scene ..
 
hahaha... some ppl really think that the whole world, only they themselves exist, n no other ppl around ma. Got to have ppl like Milo and ur HB to tell them off :P
 
Sg ppl are a scared lot.. complain who doesn't do it ... everyone in the world does it.. but in most countries they can bring their complains further like protests... so they are not scared so much liao and more daring unlike sg ppl.
