Singapore Life

In the past, I always have very low self esteem and do not have much confidence in myself, thus I have few friends and was often being made a fool due to my kindness, real innocence and naivety ....
I have since wisened up and learnt to function beyond my own expectations. The books I read, the talks I attended and the people whom I have interacted with, those people who are very successful in their fields, who have demonstrated to me that a normal human being can really function at a higher level that they expect, break away all self-limiting stereotypes, to function at a higher level and succeed in ways they could never imagine themselves to be.
I learnt the importance of time management. The world is fair afterall, be it you or Albert Einstein, Bill Gates or Obama, everyone of us has 24 hours, no more or no less .. it depends on how effectively we make use of our time to accomplish more things in our existence in the same limited amount of time than our counterparts.
I have seen many, who are really successful in their fields, accomplishing so much things in the same 24 hours that I have and that you have and their energy seems does not fade away, on the contrary, these very people seems more energetic than the average man; interacting with them, their energy seems to rub off on me.
I definitely have much to learn from these successful people who excel in many fields of their lives be it in work, family, community, sports. and hobbies. I believe that with the right mindset and atitude, I will succeed or if not succeed, at least achieve much more than before!

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
