SINGAPORE SHORT STORIES

The viewing of old photos can be rather nostalgic. As I viewed my old photos today, I realised how different I looked now compared to the past. I realised how time has passed so quickly in the twinkling of an eye. And I realised how little I have gained in my career throughout all these years. I promise myself to continue to work hard and hope I will enjoy more career luck in the coming years!

Since yesterday, I am at home, nursing an injury following a surgery. I promise to take charge of my health once I am okay. Yesterday was my first visit to an operating theatre for a surgery. That feeling of being dissected. That bed in the middle of the theatre surrounded by flood lights. That feeling of dressing up like a mummy to be sliced by.

I guess for many people, they stop learning upon graduation from school and stepping into the workforce. The only learning opportunities for many employees will be the career development courses developed by their HR departments. Coming back home, often, busy executives are too tired to learn anything outside their work or enrich themselves.

My air-conditioners broke down recently. With these hot nights, it is not too comfortable to sleep without the airconditioner. I have been trying to fix the air-conditioner yesterday but my efforts were in vain.

I had a busy and fruitful weekends. I have just read a Sunday Times report on how some fresh graduates earn at least $10,000 per month but the long hours and efforts they put in are also significantly more than their counterparts earning average incomes.

Many Singaporean women look for husbands who possess 5 Cs: cars, condominium, cash, credit card and country club membership. Of these 5 Cs, I only have a very modest credit card. In terms of cash, I earn very little every month. Hence I do not have any of the aforementioned 5 Cs.

Tonight, I washed the dirty floor carpet which was not washed for a long time. As I dipped the carpet into the washtub of Detox, very black water oozed out immediately!

Today is the middle of the week, a typical Wednesday. I am reorganizing my priorities as time is sacred after office hours. There is a slew of work to do but there is a limit to one's energy (after work).

My job is not fanatastic. My job is below my expectations. I have latent potential and I mean I should be able to be in a better job and earn more money. However career luck is not with me. I am not complaining as I need this job to earn a living. So I am contented with this job though I can definitely do much better if given opportunities. However this is life!

I believe organization in life is very important. Google, one of the top companies in the world offers the service of organizing information. In our personal life, I cannot stress enough the need to organize every aspect of our life from our thoughts to our chores and strategies.

One should be hardworking to enjoy the best life has to offer. One should be hardworking in all arenas of life. I am hardworking. Hardworking is I.

I blog lesser these days as I am very tired from working and working. Weekends really seem to just fly past and I am still left tired and not recharged from the many hours spent working and working. I want to feel rejuvenated!

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 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.

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.

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

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.
