It is the time of the year civil servants receive their performance bonuses (PBs). In the coming two weeks, civil servants will not only receive their performance bonuses, special ‘growth bonuses’, would also await them for the very first time.

Back in the old days when I was single, I used to buy several copies of women's magazines each month to read up what's happening in the lives of women on the other side of the globe.

Hv u tried playing mahjong or card games on the net ? Come to think of it, hubby has a stack of CD ROM games just sitting on the shelves n collecting dust *rolled eyes*. Those require patience - working up from level to level. He doesnt hv the time to play much but he cant resist buying them. When we go shopping for groceries, he always makes his exit to the CD shops to pick up yet another 5 games *sigh*. I might just put them on e-bay one of these day - hah *grin*
