2 More days to Year 2012: My New Year Resolutions


I have not been blogging regularly these few days as around this time of the year when we will soon transit to a brand new year, I have been trying to do as much things as possible in year 2011 before the new year comes.
This is often the time when many people including myself look back at year 2011 and take a mental note of what we have achieved for this year.
Looking back at this year 2011, I have achieved what I have set out for in various aspects of my life. I am grateful and contented or rather I try my best to be grateful and contented for what I have. As usual, having been stuck in a career rut for the past few years, this year is also, sadly to say, another year which is not too good for my career. I am blessed to have a good boss who gives me plenty of opportunities to shine in my career, however my boss is not omnipotent, there exists human factors to make even a bright, hardworking, promising and capable man like me depressed in my career. I am not alone, in the world, there are many promising and capable people who are suppressed in their work, leaving those who are not capable but who knows how to play politics go further in life. This is Life.
Other than the career front, I am contented and grateful for what I have. For those areas which I am not too good at, I try my Best but even if my Best is not able to achieve what I intend to set out, I still try and try and never giving up.
As we usher in a brand new year, I promise not to be captured hostage of the past, I will always learn to be optimistic and continue to work real hard, undeterred by the office politics, incapable people and management but striving to do my very Best!
But I need LUCK! Some people are born real lucky in life. I hope I can have some career luck next year. Career aside, I am going to focus on Family and Health too.
I have not really cast in stone my New Year resolutions for Year 2012 but generally I know what I aim to achieve mentally. I will work real hard to achieve my goals and be contented and grateful for what I have.
Happy New Year 2012!

Vernon Leong Jun Wei

What happens to the 31 year old bride groom, Vernon Leong Jun Wei? As the news of this latest unnatural and bizzare death developed, it seemed that Vernon did not jump from the 24th storey of Hilton Hotel as was believed earlier. There were 3 video camera footages which might prove otherwises for the cause of Vernon's death. The first video footage showed Vernon at the 24th storey, making his way hurriedly into the fire escape staircase. The next video footage showed Vernon at the 2nd storey which also holds some shops and the final footage showed an unconscious Vernon motionless at the ground of the hotel. Vernon was cladded casually in a T-shirt and pants and have left his hotel room while his wife was taking a shower. It seemed that he might be escaping from something or somebody or that he might be chasing after something or somebody. What did Vernon see and experience at his last moments? The police is still investigating the case. It is really a very tragical and sad

Kampong Lorong Buangkok

Amidst the blazing afternoon sun today, my Dear and I made our way to Kampong Lorong Buangkok. The visit was a timely one as there is such a high buzz being generated over the last kampong in modern Singapore. After alighting from Bus 854 from Eunos, it was not difficult to find our way to the kampong. The entrance of the kampong was distinct as you could see from the picture: the 'ulu-ness' (rural charm) is evident from the attap-roofed buildings and more unkempt conditions. A signboard with hand-written text welcome my Dear and I to the last kampong in Singapore: As we entered the kampong, I spotted a middle-aged woman talking to an old man. I had seen the old woman before on TV. She was none other than the owner of the kampong land. In the documentary, I learnt that the whole kampong land was passed to her by her late father. She has kept the land and have not gone on to sell the land to the government. If she were to sell the land, she would be an instant multi-millionair

Performance Bonus

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. These PBs and growth bonuses are only applicable to performers, defined as officers with assessed performance gradings above the ‘D’ grade. Typically, civil servants receive their performance bonuses in March, a 0.5 month of bonus in July and a 13th month plus AVC in December. Are all the bonuses good? To be frank, the bonuses dished out in Civil Service are averages at best. With the various bonuses being given out in these months: July, December and March, a civil servant who would like to quit would most likely try to find a ‘suitable’ month to quit so as not to forfeit his bonuses. The December bonus is generally the most generous portion. To quantify for this bonus, an officer would have to be in service till the end of January ne
