SINGAPORE SHORT STORIES

These weeks, I have been living a simple life. I aim to give the best in all aspects of life. It is only when one gives his very best, to give the greatest value to society that he will be truly happy.

I want to keep blogging. I have interesting things to share with readers. But staring at the computer during work all day makes my eyes real tired. It is no wonder coming back home, I prefer not to look at computers.

I think the government should not offer some incentives like free biscuits for recycling. What Singapore must do is to inculcate a culture. We do not want to see Singaporeans not recycling the moment we do not offer some form of incentives to recycle.

From Mon to Fri, I seem to be rushing for personal time from the moment I reach home to sleep. There is lots of things to do but so little time. We spend too much of our time on working.

I aim to be rich. Being rich, I do not need to spend time working in a job which I detest. The time saved could be well-spent on more lofty goals.

On Monday, I was appalled while entering the ticket gate of the MRT station in the morning around 7.50 am. The SMRT security guard was supposed to protect commuters but there she was, vigorously fanning herself with a fan, oblivious to the stares of commuters. She is paid to protect MRT commuters but here she is, fanning herself because it is hot. What kind of SMRT security guard she is! At many times, I saw her talking to the control station staff or seems deep in thoughts.

I had a hectic day today. After a super busy day at work, I returned home, washed up quickly and went for a 20 min run to prepare for my IPPT.

Its a slow start of yet another week. Today is a sleepy Monday for me. Not many colleagues in the office today but I was as busy as before. But I am contented to be at peace with myself.

My wife and I went to the Carrefour Mega Expo sales and the MPH Expo sales today. To our suprise, there was little people at both of the sales. I believe the PC show might have lured many Singaporeans there instead.

There has been news of Ho Ching, CEO of Temasek Holdings leaving the company soon. I think Ms Lim Hwee Hua, the ex- Female Minister who lost Aljunied in the General Election in May 11 will succeed Ho Ching as the new CEO of Temasek. Lets see whether my prediction is correct!

Okto is now showing Animal Rights at 9pm on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. After watching an educational documentary on Ants on Wednesday, I tuned in to Animal Rights yesterday.

On Wednesday, I watched an educational TV program on the eradication of the deluge of fire ants on Okto. It was such an insightful TV experience.

I am tired from staring at the computer all days during work. It makes me tired coming home.

These days are not good. A boy accidentally stepped into a flooding drain last week and drowned. Just yesterday, floods ravaged parts of Singapore, causing massive flooding and damage to cars, property and goods.

I lost my cool recently against a person who is not my family member, friend or relative. I have been tolerating against the misdeed the person does until like pressure in me built up. It exploded out of me finally when I finally burst like a madman, chastising that person.

I have too much of sleep today. The reason: the weather. It has been raining non-stop since midnight and this has caused flooding in some areas of Singapore.

I was at the ATM machine queue today. Again, same story. A lady discovered the machine has something wrong and she used the other.
