Updating this 'blog'

Yes, its been helluva long time, readers and I'm sure most of you have stopped coming in.

All due respect to bloggers who updates thier blog everyday or every other day. It sure takes lots of discipline and sometimes I guess I understand thier responsibility to thier readers.

There's plenty in my mind this time, so this will get wordy. Firstly, a little bird flew in and told me that our dear good friend who stays near Vancouver might be able to come to Sillypore! Woots!!! I hope she'll come to work for us during her little stay. :)

I've just recieved a nice email in regards to our CPF (Cannot Pay Forever) about the draw down age to 65. I think the gaberment has failed to answer WHY would anyone in thier right mind want to WORK till 65 IF they can afford to retire. The slant that the PAP is giving is that people wants to work till 65 because they like to. They have failed to realise that people CANNOT afford NOT to work till 65 or more because of the hefty house loans and high cost of living. Irregardless of all thier statistics, pure fact is that no old folks want to be working as dishwashers or other menial jobs. And they are doing it now because they don't have a choice!

Lets not even argue about annuity....

Of course if they are all in the position of our beloved LKY, where he works with his mouth, then all old folks will gladly work till 85 for his salary. Actually for half his salary. err wait, for 1/4 of his salary, Wait... I think singapore old folks will be very happy with 1/8th of his salary.

PAP has also failed to answer this question. Since their salaries are pegged to CEOs and watnots minusing some obscure %age, CAN US the Citizens who are like the shareholders, SACK non performing ministers?

Sillyporeans who doesn't want to be silly should start asking such questions and asking them louder, if not we'll always be sillyporeans and one day *Yikes* become stupidporeans.

Oh by the way, i'm hunting for an accounts girl to takeover a girl who has just resigned. Because I can't afford to pay some rich ass bastard in the UK, I've to settle for someone locally. So if any of you readers are interested in the job, drop a comment and I'll keep it away from view.

This blog took me 6hours to write, because I was interrupted countless times by idiots.

Till then, take care and have a nice week ahead!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MISSUS TINA TAN!!!!

Yes Alright Already!! Stop telling me I haven't updated this blog! And no I'm not too old to blog, besides its more of rantings then a blog even though I do add some personal things in here.

So what have you guys been up to? Its only been 9 days and I hope it has already stopped some of you from coming in. Why would I wanna do that? I'll let you know when I come out with the answers.

Life has been pretty interesting lately. But before I go on today's rant, a Huge BIG shout to my Wife, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!

This time, she absolutely ban me from buying her a gift. My wallet is so happy and my bank account is laughing in glee. BUT, she did say I owe her one and when she wants something I've to go get it. *sigh*

Ok back to life has been pretty interesting. Do you guys realise how quickly our lives changes? When you change a job, when you change boyfriends/girlfriends or change your circle of friends or when you allow someone new into your circle of friends. Things changes so quickly sometimes and you can't really put a finger to it.

Well things haven't changed that drastically for me and if it does, I hope it changes for the better. You see this few days I've been busy at work and searching for a house. I decided to ballot for one. I sure hope I can afford it if I manage to win the ballot.

With the missus family coming in June/July, I need a bigger space to put them in. Thats a headache, albeit a nice one.

So hows the first week of new year treating you? Write about it after you click on 'COMMENT'

Welcome 2008

Oh ya. its the first day of the New Year and what have you done to kick off this year?

Well, I can tell you, I hate it. Why? Because the festive season is over. The long holidays, the TV, the couch all will be missing me. And I miss them so very much.

Its time to clean off the slime on my body and start behaving like a human again. YUCKS. All I ever wanted was to be a couch slug... Is that too much to ask for?

So are you one of those who have a resolution? Well my missus is the only one I know off who did manage to get through most of her resolutions. I have resolutions too. But i broke them all within the first day. For e.g.

1. Stop Smoking. I did stop smoking for a few hours during 2008, but it was such a silly resolution, I broke it.
2. Stop Swearing, I did stop swearing during 2008, well for a few hours, until a stupid commercial interrupted my TV.
3. Stop dirtying the house. Well I did stop dirtying the house until i decided to clear the ashtray and well.. the inevitable happened and it broke my resolution. Well it was another silly resolution anyway. Who cares? Besides the missus. ooops....

I'm looking forward to 2008 for a myriad of reasons. There are many more new things to do in my career. Its going to be a very busy work year for me and I hope things turn out right.

I've to move house AGAIN by the end of Dec 2008 so I gotta make a decision by July/August latest.

There's also something thats brewing and its not the right time to announce it. When the time is right, my dear readers, you'll be SHOCKED off your booty boots.

Alright so the truth be told, the new year means its time to start working and get serious with your jobs. We all want a good start to the new year and I hope all of you buckle up, pull up your socks and get it moving. Lets look forward to a prosperous 2008.

A very Happy New Year to you.
