Happy Birthday, Singapore !

Finally, a holiday we can look forward to !!

It's the National Day of Singapore !
It is being celebrated every year on 9 August, in commemoration of Singapore's independence from Malaysia in 1965, and a public holiday. 

This year, 9 August is on Thursday, and if you take a off day, or annual leave, you can rest from Thursday, all the way to Sunday ! (4 Days !)

If you asking me, nope, i know of this planning for a long weekends, but i will be working, as per normal. My other 2 colleagues in the department will be on leave, though.
So, someone have to be there. (Yeah.)

By the way, remember to hang the Singapore flag (correctly....)



And i hope i can really get some CASH, the next round.


Count on You, Singapore !

Happy Birthday, Singapore !!

May life gets better, yet much cheaper. Please.

钱作怪





Chinese has a saying : 有錢能使鬼推磨 (Transliteration (pinyin): Yǒu qián néng shǐ guǐ tuī mó.)

Literally: If you have money you can make the devil push your grind stone.
Note: English equivalent: Money talks. Money makes the world go round.
When you work for a company, the boss is good, the job is ok, they pay you enough.
When the company makes $, employees play a part too.
$ should be (if can) shared upon all.

Do not give your employee hope, and then suddenly say you are not sharing the $ or profit the company has.

Unhappy Employee, means unhappy Work.

You pay peanuts, you get Monkeys. 

Happened to bump into a song by Ricky Hui, many many years back...
Listening to it, it is very true.

Money is power

Why in Black and White ?

On Friday night, when i reached home after work, i saw this envelop on my table. 

"Must be bills, to be paid, again..." i thought to myself. 

Truly, it is my mobile bills, from Singtel. 

And this month, they printed it in Black and White. (instead of the full coloured ones like previously.)  



I think they also trying to save Kaya  Gaia, and print in Black and White.
Or they ran out of colour inks. 

Did you receive your bills from Singtel in Black and White, this month, like me too ??
