Life's Irony

Our life is such an irony. When we are young, we have all the time in the world but no money to do whatever the things we like. We work part time and save on our pocket money just to have that little bit more to buy the games, toys or bags that we so desire. All these times, we long for the days when we will grow up and earn a salary. With the salary we will be able to buy anything we want easily.

How irony it is that when we reach that stage, though we have money, we find ourselves lacking in another thing call Time. There are tons of things to do yet we always find ourselves running out of time. No time to shop, play games or enjoy ourselves. Everyday is the same routine. Go work, go home. How to find time for ourselves then?

So in the end, we are sort of back to square one. We still unable to enjoy the things we like. :(

Keep The Flag Flying

A tribute to Manchester United's heroics last year. Keep the flag flying...

"On his bed in Rechts der Isar, a Munich hopital, Sir Matt Busby slowly whispered five words to his assistent Jimmy Murphy:
"Keep the flag flying Jimmy."
50 years on destiny took us to Moscow, for Matt and for the Busby Babes.
Because Manchester United will never die.

Let's do it again this year...

Mum Knew the Best

Got this from my friend through email.

Ho Ching Steps Down...

Surprise, surprise.... I wonder what could be the reason for Ho Ching stepping down as CEO and Executive Director of Temasek Holdings from Oct 1. A result of the wrong investment decisions (read: Merrill Lynch).

And how appropriately named her successor is, Charles Goodyear. We certainly need that now.

Pay Cut!

Yes, it finally happens. 10% pay cut starting this month. Sigh....

And the funny side as my colleague puts in, our workload seems to increase and yet we are getting paid less for it. Well, that's the pitfall in working in a manufacturing sector. Production orders still take up the bulk of the company's income.

Sigh... Times are really bad now. You are paid lesser, work more. Your work is something you don't like to do but you have no option cause you have no where else to go... Sigh...


On a side note, today is the anniversary of the Munich air crash that took away more than half of a great Manchester United team in 1958.

Wii Fit Parody

LOL!!!

Life Goes Back to Normal.

And so, CNY came and went. Life goes back to normal. All those hectic preparation and cleaning for the past few weeks just to celebrate those 2 days (some say 15 even though life goes back to normal on the third day in Singapore)

Off we go, back to our office and work. Looking forward to the next holiday... which will be in April... Sigh....
