Life and its Quirkiness

Cheerios my dear readers. Quite a few who checks in and thanks to you. And of course dear Missus.

A round of applause and congratulations to the missus for gaining her PR! Yes, finally she can borrow books from the library using her own identity card, she gets to pay taxes, gets to have CPF, discounts/subsidies in government stuff, buy HDB flat and so on except get to vote. Whats in a vote anyway? Sillyporeans are too afraid to try anything new, rock the boat or whatever. Look at our dear friends in Ozzieland, well done on your choice of a new Prime Minister, the old one was getting too full of himself and slowly turning authoritarian. Like how Thaksin was changing. Not saying that the current government is crappy or anything...

Wow what a lot to say when its just about PR. One thing does lead to another as usual.

Today we rant about people who hates thier boss. Well not that relationships are without frictions, so expect to have some friction with your boss too. Sometimes, you just have to laugh softly instead of letting the whole office know you're idling. If you have to idle, do it in a smarter way. Look around you and you may see someone working thier ass off, while you and others are having a jolly fun time. Not that there's anything wrong in having a fun time in the office, but control your idle times. You don't get paid to be idle and slack right?

Then of course, bosses shouldn't expect thier staff to read thier mind and/or moods. So my dear colleagues, I apologise for my temper and shit. There.

I hear some comments about the friends thing about how we should just forgive and forget, about give and take. Yes but some friends are worthy of forgiving and forgetting while some you should just forget. All relationships are give and take. Being humans, we'll take things for granted and need to be reminded. Its either a gentle reminder or a stern and firm reminder. It all depends on how you manage your friendship. If you want to treat everyone the same, KUDOS to you, but we all know its not possible. Because you can't possibly go up to an hour old 'friend' and start telling him/her how wonderfully happy you are thereby causing envy, or tell him/her how sad/miserable you are, and causing this new found friend to FEAR you. So like it or not, we do compartmentalise our friends. Get your friends a gift this year. Make a card, say hello to a long lost friend. Lets see whats in stored.

Christmas is coming around really quick for me this year, so whats the plan? Any chance we get snow this Christmas? No not the fake stuff. We want the REAL stuff.

Wonder whats Paul getting me this year. Not that i EVER EVER EVER get him anything in return, its just so fun to receive without giving. Not that he ever bothers or care, which takes out the fun a little bit, but what the heck, Paul, can I have a house in missusland this year instead?
