L-I-F-E

Life, what does it hold or mean to you?

 

To me, if its blackjack, the cards for me would always be

A. 12 or 13 points for 2 cards
B. 12 or 13 points for 4 cards and get a picture on the 5th card

 

Hahaa… I dun mean to be pessimistic here and all that..

 

On a totally irrelevant note, last nite I found my long-lost ipod..

it was actually hidden within a book… hahahahahaa

 

Now I am enjoying back my ipod nano…  again… the oldies..

Life's Questions, who can answer me.

I find myself being drawn more and more to women who are different. 

It doesn't need to be anything major.  it can be a simple hobby that they're passionate about. or someone who has travelled beyond Singapore borders. 

Does she play an instrument?

Women like this exist.  I know they do.  I believe they do.

I've met many of them.  Unfortunately they're either married (even worse, to my friends), have boyfriends (yet again, many of who are my damned friends) or not that particularly into pple like me.

What do I do?  Do I give up?  Do I keep searching?


This is Life eh.

8mths Bonus saga

--------------------------------
Got this off Ah Beng Tan This article is pretty well written and i *thump chest* heart him
--------------------------------
Never got tired of saying this... The TRUTH is out there!

Two Northwest CDC staff who receive 8 months bonuses are managers in mid to senior positions
Source: Wayangparty.com


According to the 938live’s report here:

“The PA adds that it is only staff at the lower-end of the salary range who will receive a higher performance bonus range. This allows such officers to move closer to the norm of other staff performing the same kind of job, but who have a higher basic monthly pay.”


How low is the lower-end of the salary range?

To a rich tai tai, having dim sum at Crystal Jade is an insult to her. "How dare you serve me this trash?! Which part of this rubbish looks like Xiao Long Bao to you?!" she berated at the waiter.

To a single mother struggling to feed her two young children with her mere eight hundred dollars cleaner pay, a Big Pao from Kopitiam is a luxury.


The two names given to me hold mid to senior level positions in Northwest CDC. One of them is a Senior Manager in charge of a Committee while the other is a Deputy General Manager.

Both of them are in the photos below:





According to online job portal jobstreet, a senior manager’s monthly salary range from $5,200 to $9,000 while a manager from $4,000 to $7,500.

We do not know the fixed monthly salaries of the CDC staff, but given the fact that their salaries are pegged to that of the private sector, they are likely to lie around these ranges. This appears to contradict PA’s official statement earlier that only staff with low salaries are entitled to higher performance bonuses.


How low can we pay a manager?

A factory operator can draw slightly over a thousand. A sales person, probably up to two thousands. A marketing executive will usually draw about three thousands. And none of them belongs to the management level.

So how low can we pay a Senior Manager and a Deputy General Manager? At least four thousand dollars a month? That gives them the eight months bonuses of S$4,000 x 8 = S$32,000.

How low. Looking at the figures now, I have to agree with PA. S$32,000 is really on the low side for bonuses if we compare to what the Americans like Merrill Lynch and AIG are paying their staffs. For a bonus as low as this, one cannot even afford a respectable 1,600cc car. Most probably will have to settle for a China made one. How pathetic.

一生只有你


i found my father's fave hokkien song today
落雨聲


This song is written by 方文山.

家後

Today




I don't know how to say exactly how I feel
And I can't begin to tell you what your love has meant
I'm lost for words
Is there a way to show the passion in my heart
Can I express how truly great I think you are
You're my dearest friend

Lord this is my desire to pour my love on you

CHORUS:
Like oil upon your feet
Like wine for you to drink
Life water from my heart
I pour my love on you
With praises like the perfume
I lavish mine on you
Till every drop is gone
I pour my love on you

Is there a way to show the passion in my heart
Can I express how truly great I think you are,
My dearest friend

Lord this is my desire to pour my love on you

CHORUS


This is a very nice song. Very suitable for the weather today mellow and passionate.
Today i remain thankful to my God. For keeping me and teaching me and blessing me.

I like the bridge alot really...
Is there a way to show the passion in my heart
Can I express how truly great I think you are,
My dearest friend

Lord this is my desire to pour my love on you
