*Nosebleed* Courtesy of Beer.com. Have a good long weekend!

How bosses think. I believe its a infectious disease that only afflicts higher management. Tell you one thing, and they expect you to do another. Lost i tell you. They are lost!

Not Sure Whether I've Blogged About This Before

XXX, 23, Model

YYY, 28, Entreprenuer

ZZZ, 27, Writer / Educator

In reality...

XXX, 23, I've got a pretty face, a thin body and sometimes I get to model clothes for in-house shows.

YYY, 28, I've either come from a wealthy family and who can bank roll my yet to be discovered business venture, or I've already put some money into a pub where I'm a silent partner.

ZZZ, 27, Day in day out I send columns to newspapers, magazines, catalogues in the hope they use them and I get paid $300. In the meantime, I give tution. Or I claim to be a full-time blogger, although I know that it doesn't pay the bills and I still have to take $$$ from Mommy sometimes.

In this day and age, there seem to be quite a number of Singaporeans these days who wear their unemployment / underemployment like a badge of honour. Or perhaps they are in denial?
Giving themselves fancy titles to show their importance... so that they would not be embarrassed in front of their bankers, brokers, dealers, accountant, lawyer, doctor friends?

Don't get me wrong. There are truly good serial entrepreneurs I know, who have loads of business ideas and start businesses, burn 14 hours a day, then sell the business and move on to new ventures in 3-5 years. There are also fulltime writers like Alfian Sa'at who are constantly busy and if you can catch him to write for you, you are damn lucky.

But generally...

Am I wrong?

Fa-La-Li


A great way to start the day. 3 F-40s and an Enzo. Must be a Ferrari Club. But hey, give me a 430 Spyder anyday.

Leeching

I'm breaking the law and leeching off an unsecured network in the office.

All because there are now too many people using the miserable 256 kbps pipe my company subscribes to and the connection is now intermittent.

Sigh.

A Quick Note

A quick note to all who attend wedding dinners...

"When is your turn?" is not a proper way to start a conversation. Especially if the man/woman's partner is next to him.

Why can't people get it?

Ooh... psycedelic...

Exercise is good for you

See, its good to swallow. Haha

Imagine

Imagine you had a colleague, who messed up a deal with a client. He goes on to make things right (as he should), should your boss, or anyone else give him a pat on his back?

Imagine you have a friend, who broke your favourite Barbie doll. She goes on to replace it. Should you thank her?

Imagine you have a brother, who scratched your car whilst taking it for a spin. He rightly pays for the repairs. Need you be grateful?

Imagine you have a political party, who goes on and on harping on a folly of an opposing candidate. They go on the headlines of the local paper and claim now that the focus should be on the future of Singapore. Should you be grateful? Or would you say, "This should have been the focus all along."

See my point?

Only in America

Random Blog Readings

Reading blogs invite you into worlds that can be quite different from your own. Different age groups, social stratas, cultures...

Read a teen's blog today. All gushing about romance, and the things she is going to do for him, which is going to cost her dearly (in terms of time, money etc).

I couldn't help but feel that her actions are cute, understandable but silly and impractical. But then again, I might have done that if I was her age too.

Darn. I am feeling old.

Hur hur.

Anne Hathaway of Princess Diaries and Brokeback fame. Oohh...

Eh, don't call me a wayang leh

Reading this article got me thinking.

When is defamation, defamation? The ruling party is skilled in throwing in this card when it is threatened. But doesn't calling someone a liar, a cheat, and a wayang artiste constitute as defamation either?

However, I'm sure if Gomez brings it up, the defence would be one of "fair comment". How come then we normal citizens cannot similarly make comments that we think are "fair" without the fear of persecution?

Not fair!

What Kind of Car are You?

I'm a Porsche 911!



You have a classic style, but you're up-to-date with the latest technology. You're ambitious, competitive, and you love to win. Performance, precision, and prestige - you're one of the elite,and you know it.


Take the Which Sports Car Are You? quiz.

Just a Note on the Thing some of us have to do on May 6

Technically, since Parliament has been dissolved in order to call for the "E".

Its a "bo-cheng-hu" period now, and we need not call PM by his title, but rather, just Mr Lee.

They should be now at the same playing level as the other runners.

The darn newspapers are giving unfair advantage!
