Problems

Everyone has his or her problems. I am no exception.
I may be blogging here religiously everyday, writing about some fun things I do, or some observations I have in my everyday life and sharing these with you religious readers, but I myself am confounded with problems too.
Sometimes, one's problems may seem BIG but when one meets another person and see for himself that this person has an even bigger problem than himself, one finds that his own problem may seem so small or at least become smaller.
As an example, some gals may think they look ugly, but they should be blessed with what they have for I have really seen gals whose faces are scarred badily due to some accidents, I suppose; but life still needs to go on, and here they are, braving the stares from hundreds of people each time they step out of their home and soldiering on in life.
I can feel stressed at times due to problems and the fact that certain things in life is hard to change. One way to lessen the bad impacts of problems is to relax: go for a very fast run till you breathe and perspire deeply or go for a vacation and let your mind wonder and be curious about new things again.
We need to be curious and let our minds explore new horizons, going to different environments is relaxing, example going to overseas countries, experiencing a different culture and etc.
And that is the reason I like to or rather I start to explore trekking among the natural wonders of Singapore, such as inside the Macritchie forest trail. The first time, I went to trek inside the forest, I did it solo, can you imagine how exciting, how relaxing and at times, scaring, to venture alone in a world that is cut off from civilisation, only to be greeted with trees, leaves and grasses from top to bottom? Interested readers, can reply via a comment to my post, the next time we can form a small group to navigate the forests and experience the thrills of being in nature.
It does get boring everyday to wake up, be stuck with the jams of people in buses and MRT or to be jammed in the traffic jams, eat the MSG laden food at food centres, go back home, shack and tired after a long day at work, or after being scolded by bosses, or doing unproductive things at office.
I don't know, sometimes I feel like everyday we are spending so much time at work, trying to earn that few thousands to sustain our and our family living and leaving little time for bonding with our loved ones.
At times, I hate it! Hate this kind of rat race, hate the kind of curry-favoring, hate the kind of people who automatically rise to the top of ranks, and overrules others who are more capable than them, just because of some status they have obtained earlier in life.
But that is life. Unless one is bold enough to break away from this rat race by becoming an entrepreneur and bold enough to take risks, the risks of business failing.
I admire entrepreneurs who have make it big in life. Some are lucky, many are due to determination. But one should always give back to community by helping the less fortunated.. that is the hallmark of success!
(I am surprised, I am able to write such a long message tonight, was initially thinking of what to write tonight to share with you, my ardent fans!, anyway do feel free to comment on my blog, lets make my blog more participative! You need not have a Blogger account to post comment, anomoymous (i can never spell this word correct) are also welcome!)
Good night!

Ya, I agree with you. The nightlife in Singapore is getting increasingly vbrant.

It is SO HOT in Singapore during the day, that most Singaporeans really venture out to air-con shopping centres on weekends.

It is not really comfortable for most Singaporeans to be in the open during the day as it is so HOT, only when night comes, then more Singaporeans flock to places like Clarke Quay and other open places of interests.

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
